  • In this episode, I am finally reaching the Dalton highway - the only road that leads all the way to the Arctic Ocean. My plan is to reach Wiseman, which is the last place to stay before I have to cross the Brooks Range and the final stretch towards the end of this journey...

      Yes, yes, yes...I completely agree having had that experience. After taking our daughter to college, she said, "well, parents this is it, I will not be coming home after this I am on my own. You guys have done your part now it's my turn". We love our daughter and she loves us but she wanted us to know that she had grown up and was ready to make it on her own". I think maybe she forgot that we were paying for her college experience but alas now years later she has proven to be an independent person. We could not be any more proud of her and well as that same feeling for Noraly as this adventure comes to completion there will be another for us to follow and enjoy...thanks Noraly.

Noraly has traveled much in the style of past Dutch explorers and traders traversing the world seeking their riches. Noraly's riches are those which can be shared with her subscribers and that's discovering the wonders of the world by motorcycle. There is a profound difference experiencing travel a top a motorcycle from riding in a capsule of a car or motorhome. It's the grit of "place" while riding under conditions you can only adapt and continue. Above all, it's the determination and willingness to endure whatever physical or mental challenges confronting Noraly to travel bit by big bit to reach Alaska. Noraly has been candid and convivial throughout this journey making this adventure something that can be shared without regret with so many people from different walks of life. Noraly is just one person, one woman, one traveler on one motorcycle showing us anything is possible... bit by one big bit at a time. As always, brava Noraly and rubberside down!

      Of course. It's possible the next video/ride is the last of THIS season. I thought she might bring us along for the ride back to Anchorage, from where I presume she departed back to Holland. Thought maybe she might try to show us Denali if the weather cooperated since it was obscured on the way up. But it sounds like she just wants to end the season having reached the Arctic Ocean. No doubt she'll take a break. Maybe a long one, as she has between her seasons. But unless she has satiated her wanderlust likely she's already pining to get back out on the road, somewhere else in the world. What's next? Beijing to Amsterdam? Casablanca to Cape Town (doubtful since she's already been to CT)? Cairo to Dar es Salaam? Around Australia/New Zealand? Stay tuned!!

    It is a great ride and many challenges I am sure, neverthless it is a job with an adventure. Many jobs are repetitive for most people and routine, this one is the opposite, challenging, adventurous, fun, surprising, most of the time exciting, and has a purpose that pays itself through the RUclips channel. If there was no RUclips that would have been a different story. People have done journeys in the past by receiving financial help and advertising. Today RUclips covers it all as long as you put in the effort and the long days. Still it is rewarding and entertaining that is why travel has become very popular through all the gadgets and the media, added with peoples creativity. Cheers.

    The great thing about the motor bike is that it has kept you in contact with the people and places you visit. When you are on a bike, you are exposed (literally and figuratively) and people can more easily interact with you. When you are in a big overlander you are enclosed, don't sleep in local villages, eat in local restaurants or see people as much. The bike has also taken you on roads that would be inaccessible to large vehicles.
    The views from your helmet cam put the viewer right on the bike and the narration you provide is about the journey, not your personal life. I know nothing about motorcycles but t his has been a great journey to follow.

    That brought back some memories. Typical weather. I lived in North Pole for many years and in the 1980s used to drive to Livengood every couple of weeks to hold a bible study with some locals there. On occasion would drive further up the road but only once to the Yukon River where I turned around. To do this on a bike is nuts. I sold my bike when I moved to Alaska.
