- In this episode, I am leaving the capital of Angola, Luanda, with (hopefully) a fully functional motorcycle again! But before I really leave the city, I quickly hop past an insurance office to buy a road insurance for my motorcycle and then I head for a small town called Muxima. I hoped to stay the night there, but Angola has different plans with me..

My 95 year old Mum died yesterday, a devoted Itchboots viewer who would ring me up to tell me about the latest episode. She so enjoyed watching what she could no longer do herself, an escape from the confines of the nursing home. Thank you Noraly for giving her such joy in the last few years.
May your mom rest in peace.
My condolences
Offering sincere condolences for the loss of your mother .
Eternal memory of your mother…
Rest in Paradise,mother🙏🙏🙏
I never thought that Angola is this beautiful too! Its really different seeing it from someone who actually travel and goes around than seeing it from documentary videos.
Thanks for taking us there Noraly.
Documentaries are very misleading
@@Martin_Lwandle I agree.
I concur. Angola is very beautiful and green. The scenery is amazing 👏.
Thanks 👌 Noraly.
I've been travelling through Angola for some 30 years.
It is indeed a beautiful country with a large variety of landscapes.
We even have a desert in its most southern portion 😊
"Tia" is an affectionate, lovely way to call an adult. Show respect also. When only children call. Sorry my English. Sou brasileiro.
Hello Noraly! I am Angolan and live in Luanda and follow you. The child in Dondo asked "Auntie, are you the one driving it?" He was amazed to see a lady driving a big motorcicle like Alaska...and calling you "tia/auntie" or "mãe/mother" or "Godmother/madrinha" will be frequent...it is a sign of respect. We are told sincevearly age to treat those older than us like that. Thank you for the kind words adressed to our country because your channel reachs the World. Safe travels.
Angola is really beautiful. Greetings from Kampala Uganda 🇺🇬😍
Hey auntie, don't be depressed when kids call you that. Here in Brazil, where you learned Portuguese, it's the same, and it's just an affectionate way of addressing adults they don't know. And by the way, you are really cute speaking my language. Take care!
Portuguese is not a Brazilian language.
@@JudehEmpire he never said Portuguese is a Brazilian language. But in Brazil the language is Portuguese, and Noraly said in previous videos that she spent some time in Brazil. You can clearly notice she speaks Portuguese with a Brazilian accent
@@JudehEmpire In fact, in Brazil the official language is also Portuguese 😅
Angola seems well organized, I love the country so far
People from Angola are warm like us here in Brasil.
Much Love to our brothers and sisters from Angola ❤
Sadly, Angola wasn't exactly perfect between 1975 and 2002.
Um salve ❤❤
Really ???
@@Jonathan-L still to this day is not and never will be I'm Angolan born and raised there i love my country but the reality is that is a trash country well...the only thing it as are the nothing...
As an Angolan, I am glad that you´re enjoying our country, and above all, that you´re showing the other side of the coin which is something that not many people have the opportunity to see. The dish that they serve you is called mufete and it´s good indeed 😊😊. Thank you
I never realized what a breathtakingly beautiful continent Africa is. Watching your videos have been a real eye opener for me.
Africa is a beautiful place am glad u can see that now
Do like comments in English or Spanish!!
I didn't know that Angola was so beautiful. The only thing I knew was about the Angolan civil war and the military intervention by the Soviet Union and Cuba. Thanks to you, Noraly, I'm learning so much more. Every country that you go to, I read about their politics, their economic growth, their industries and their people. Thank you so much! I only knew that Angola was unstable for years - not that they were one of the fastest growing economies in South Africa. And of course, the people are so nice. You've turned my whole perception of the area upside down. It's wonderful.
Talking to you from Angola.
The civil war ended some 20 years ago and since then we have moved on.
We have our problems like every country but life is much better now.
@@guleiro I'm very glad to hear that! How lovely to talk to someone from Angola.. Thank you very much.
Excellent.@@guleiro
"The only thing I knew was about the Angolan civil war and the military intervention by the Soviet Union and Cuba." Why do people always leave out American involvement? The Angolan civil war was also a proxy war between the USSR and the USA who both used their proxies Cuba and South Africa respectively to intervene in the civil war.
Mufete is the name of the meal. It’s one of Angolan’s best national dish - I totally know how you feel regretting not picking the bigger fish.
Despite all the chaos happening in places around the world 🌍, a person has ridden a motorcycle 🏍️ through a continent as massive as Africa and showed the beautiful side of people and nature. It’s been wonderfully soothing watching your content!!
Thanks Tia😂😂😂. Não se sinta velha por te chamarem tia. Todos em Angola são tios. A partir do momento que és visto pela primeira vez. Muito obrigado pelas imagens lindas e confesso que ainda poderás encontrar belas imagens ao longo do caminho deste magnífico país Angola 🇦🇴🇦🇴🇦🇴
Angola people love Vietnamese people very much, Vietnamese people have helped most Angolas escape poverty
"Tia or Tio ( in that case for men )" its an affectionate and very informal way to call someone older than you. When they called you " Amiga" is also a informal way to greet everyone. Lovin' it. As a Brazilian and Portuguese speaker it's so fun to listen to you. People in Angola are really friendly indeed and down to earth. Can't wait to see more of this beautiful country and his warm people. Hope you explore it , cuz is gonna surprise a lot of people.
Um Kandandu especial aos amigos e irmãos angolanos ai da banda. 🇧🇷🤝🇦🇴
Na ansiedade de saber se algum dia ela virá pro Brasil kkkk
Amiga = Friend
@@optimus163 yep. Pretty much. And if it is a men amigo.
@@danielpaulo2119 Noraly já viveu no Brasil por uns meses.
Tio and tia are basically uncle and aunty.
I'm not Angolan but I've lived in Angola for more than ten years, the videos you made remind me a lot of good things, thank you!!!
So who thought Angola was so modern and so beautiful, once more Itchy Boots opens my eyes. Thank you Noraly.
My eyes filled with tears and my heart soared as I said a beautiful prayer for Africa ❤ Angola is gorgeous!!
Ongelofelijk hoe Angola zich heeft opgebouwd in de laatste jaren. Ik heb een tijd in Zuid Afrika gewoond en toen was het alleen maar ellende daar. Mooi om te zien wat ze daar bereikt hebben in z’n korte tijd.
Mooi land met mooie mensen. Dank je wel voor weer een mooie aflevering en safe travels!
Er was een paar jaren met economisch boom door hoge olieprijs vandaar de vele gebouwen maar helaas door de corrupt regering is alles vastgelopen helaas. Wat wel waar is de stabiiliteit geen oorlog meer. Het is 20 jaar met volledig vrede
Thank you for visiting my beautifull country.Calling you "auntie" it is a way to pay respect to someone older that us, my parents have always taught me to call elders "auntie, granny" than Miss or Mister. I am also very impressed that you did not go under any way of being robbed or loated. For us a person with differend skin color than us does not make any difference, this is why we are a multiracial country. Once again Thank you for showing the beuaty and kindnes of our people to World. Ntondele diaka
It's so good to know that you enjoyed your visit to Angola. As an Angolan myself, it's fun to see my country from a foreigner's perspective. The boy who called you auntie didn't mean it in a bad way kkk, in our culture it's a sign of respect. Love your videos, come back whenever you want. 😊❤
Auntie & uncle r endearing terms, commonly used as signs of affection as well as respect around d world. In fact, calling people much older than u by their names (as it's done in some western countries) is usually seen as very disrespectful/taboo.
I am ashamed by my preconceived ideas about Angola. The people seem so utterly charming and open. Very beautiful country.
I wish Ghana had your beautiful roads. What a beautiful country!
Noraly,
You have guessed that in some parts of the world, including Angola; children refer to anyone older them as Uncle, Aunty, Mama and Papa etc
You are lovely 😍 😊
As a Portuguese that lived in Angola for some time this was one of my favourite videos so far. Hope to see a lot more from Angola that i miss so much 😃❤
Venha novamente visitar meu caro ❤❤
Angola looks to be one of the most friendliest countries in Africa, also seem to be safer than many other . I will make sure to stay there for a longer period when I arrive.
Serás bem vindo amigo
Be welcome and our guest. We would love to have you among US. When you come give call maybe I Will help
Angola is on my doorstep and I had no idea it is this beautiful! Thank you, Noraly for opening my eyes. Blessings all 👋🎈🕊
Angola is indeed a beautiful country.
I've been travelling by road in it for the last 30 years 😊
they say Africa we are cursed but with the beauty have seen .. bro we are blessed as a people by the most High
Angola looks nice and clean.
Calling you aunty is a form of respect. In South Africa we had to call anyone ten years older than you Aunty or Uncle too. Love your videos. You are inspirational! Stay safe!
Angola looks a great place to visit. Friendly people and wonderful food. Well that's a great start.👌
Ah, you passed through the wonderful magical place called Muxima! A pilgrimage site, where during Angola's long war (1961 - 2002) women went to that little church and asked A Nossa Senhora de Muxima for peace. Muxima has a most special place in my heart - and in fact that's what the name actually means: heart. Beautiful country, beautiful incredible people. Thank you!
People of angola are warm and welcoming..
Enbrace being an auntie, auntie. I was called uncle by many when i stayed in Malaysia. I found it quite endearing.
Good afternoon. I'm Brazilian and I'm very happy that you're in Angola where Portuguese is spoken
In .any cultures, the saying, "it takes a village" is heart felt. I taught my daughter to call her elders auntie. In Hawaii, it's an ice breaker for brown people. It shows respect for their culture.
I'm not sure why, but watching yo in Angola has made me very emotional. I remember their war. Some of my friends fought their. Unfortunately, when I was a young man, I mostly learned geography through wars. Since finding you on your 90 min Patagonia to Alaska doc. I have made a point to watch all of your videos. And, as an assignment to research all the places that you go as a way to view the world with fresh eyes.
Thank you so much for being this ambassador of goodwill.
Same with us Africans, kids don't refer to adults by first name, it's looked down upon. It's always aunty, uncle, ma, pa
When I hear Angola its the same though I am from the UK war is the immediate connection that I make. it is fantastic that Noraly continues to change our mass media and historical preconceptions. thank you Noraly
There is a theme going on here, my 91 year old mother loves Itchy Boots as well. She was quite an adventurer in the 1950’s and now gets her kicks here.
Whilst the body gets old her spirit is still young!
Muito obrigado pela visita 🇦🇴 volte sempre que possível
Thank you for all the great video's, love them all. Angola is a beautiful country. My mom grow up in Angola....Humpata town.
I’m Angolan 🇦🇴and I would really like to show you a little of our Angolan cuisine and invite you to get to know a little of our culture
Each time I watch these African Episodes, I tend to see that our similarities as Africans are far more than our differences.
May God continue to bless and unite all mankind.
Thank you Noraly, for taking us along on these journeys.
May God continue to protect you wherever you go.
I have run out comments I don't in know what to write anymore you inspire me a lot sending kisses from Malawi
Yea I know what you mean but am amazed at how creative some commenters can be. I'm like, why didn't I think of that. Watching such amazing videos and commenting every week we run out of new words. Have said many times there aren't words in English language to do her justice but we try. Peace!
Yep, ditto that, Jason and yay!! You got a heart! ❤ @@jasonzerbini2375
Beautiful Africa Beautiful Angola
Angola really surprised me. what a great country. really amazed me.
Angola é fabulosa, tem de tudo desde o deserto até às montanhas, rios magníficos, praias de sonho e um clima extraordinário. Quem visitar Angola nunca mais esquece e vai querer voltar para sentir o cheiro do mato a meio da tarde.
Angola people love Vietnamese people very much, Vietnamese people have helped most Angolas escape poverty
Looked like Arizona combined with Hawaii ... beautiful.
The term aunty was and is meant as a term of respect. Lovely Angola
I had no idea Africa is such a beautiful continent and how friendly the people are!
Ooh wow! 😮
Angola looks like a welcoming country ❤
Don't forget the 1975-2002 period. Hopefully it's much better now.
and you have to understand that these wars were necessary to get independence from European colonies@@Jonathan-L
Wow angola is different from neighboring countries, its is so progressive, amazing
That girl that sold you the insurance was kinda cute ❤
Dear Noraly,
I just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the incredible work you do on your channel. Your travel adventures not only showcase the beauty of different places around the world but also shed light on the diverse cultures and people you encounter along the way.
What truly stands out is your genuine approach to exploring Africa. Your videos beautifully capture the essence of the continent without bias, highlighting its rich history, stunning landscapes, and, most importantly, the warmth and kindness of its people. Your dedication to portraying Africa in a fair and respectful manner is truly admirable.
Thank you for inspiring us to see the world with open eyes and open hearts. Your videos remind us that despite our differences, there is kindness, compassion, and humanity wherever we go. Keep up the fantastic work, and I look forward to following along on your next adventure!
Obviously I can only talk for myself. What keeps me glued to your channel is your smile. It’s inspiring to see you tackle your challenges with a constant smile. It shows that you live with an attitude of gratitude. All the best. ❤
I love how you enjoy the local food and you appreciate it. You don’t go for fancy and expensive restaurants. That’s absolutely amazing and the food is always delicious.
Angola looks absolutely magic.
Angola is so beautiful. I am African, and I'm learning this from Itchy Boots. Thanks Noraly. I'm definitely visiting someday
I had no idea at all that Angola was so beautiful. Just Wow. From your neighbour in South Africa :)
Beautiful country and the people there in Angola are nice..❤
In Angola, calling someone an uncle/aunt is a respectful way of referring to any adult you don't know
I loved this video ... gave us a chance to appreciate what Noraly is going through. Again Angola is proving to be a beautiful & friendly country, a fairly well organized country.
Once again Noraly proves to be adaptable, no hotel in this town, no problem ... drive 180 km to next town where not only she gets a hotel but a nice meal.
Noraly, your drone footage as well as your touring music made this a glorious video🤩😘🤩
GO ITCHY BOOTS, GO ... 🏍🏍🏍
Amazing.
Give Noraly her flowers, she deserve it.
Wow...
Just wow..!
My wife and I are in our later years and will never get to see or experience Africa, let alone in the manner that you do! We continue to travel with you, such an enjoyable companion, as we have ever since S1E1. We are amazed how friendly and welcoming the people are in the parts of Africa you have travelled. It is very uplifting in these troubled times!
Just gotta say how much I appreciate your no nonsense video creation, the informative nature of your content AND the reliable rhythm you upload and share with your fans & followers, Noraly! You really treat YT as your business & I, for one, appreciate the structure around your channel!! Best format out there - THANK YOU 🙏🏻.
Ditto on that comment! You can count on her precision, promptness, and punctuality!! Must have qualities for a successful business!! Love her!!❤
I'm amazed looking at Angola. Their infrastructures are very good and some places are well developed. Very interesting country indeed....
Angola looks v beautiful and people friendly plus you filmed it all superbly. Thankyou, x
Hi Noraly, I'm from Angola, started watching your videos because of a friend of mine who is a fan. I started from ep 83, when you passed in front of our offices... In any case, I thought you were having a hard time in Angola, not having working traffic lights, and not finding hotels, etc. But then I went back and saw all the carnage you went through!!! Well, hats up for you!!! This is an epic achievement of unmeasurable proportions. You've redefined my definition of challenge and keeping up. Much honored to have you ride on our land. Much honored to see the records of your epic Quest. I'll keep on following.
The view from above is stunning, it shows the beauty of the land surface of Angola. The food look super fresh.
Encore et toujours un superbe reportage, l'Angola est vraiment un magnifique pays, il demande à être connu. Merci pour la balade
Great to see a country that I may have had a preconceived idea of. In the past Angola had a very troubled period associated with war and strife. Much like a part of my country🇮🇪. Now it looks so modern and peaceful. The people come across as warm and friendly. History and geography through Norally. Great.
You will understand that this or these wars and strife were independence movement? Now the colonizers are gone it's chill. Can't say the same for most former French territories
I'm from Angola and I just fell in love with your personality, you're so goddamn beautifull in attitude. You cannot even imagine I was riding with you across Nigeria, Congo and then Angola. You ate MUFETE, is a tipical food and very tasted for all Angolans and foreigners too. What I'm most amazed is how humble you are to adventure in so many "challeging" places. Thank you for being who you are, for "existing". I love your portuguese, you're so cute 😁 have a fantabulous journey! VIVA @itchy Boots
Much respect dearest Noraly 😅😅😅😅😅! Your ability of integrating so fast and feeling at home in remote villages across the globe is a lesson that is worthy of emulation! We greatly appreciate your work
"I think I kinda regret not picking the bigger fish" 🤣😂
Noraly it looks like a paradise. I'm glad you have the gear to brave rain and heat and are strong willed so you aren't deterred by some of the events you encounter. Thanks for taking us along. Many more happy trips and stay safe out there. ben/ michigan
As a Brazilian, I was happy to see Norally speaking Portuguese in a country that is so different but that shares its language with us. By the way, don't feel old, here in Brazil children call young preschool teachers "tia".
Hi Norally. Thank you for showing us the world at the comfort of our dwelling places.
Noraly ( my j.) is the best adventurer. When you were riding through Angola's forest in the rain that was something from out of this world.
Hats off!
May! Allah protect and help you to achieve your goal. Amin.
What a beautiful area you and Alaska ended up at today! Drone shots of the town and the amazing Kwanza river were terrific! The people are so friendly and helpful! A very cool adventure today! Thank you Noraly!
Noraly sou seu seguidor a bastante tempo...estou agradecido por teres chegado a Angola...volte sempre !!!
Noraly, friend suggested your channel to me over a year ago. I can say today I have watched all your seasons and episodes to date. I will say this, with your short little legs, Dutch stubbornness and positive attitude you have shown millions people around the world how beautiful it is. Plus, you have shown us that there is lot of good in the world along with kindness. I believe this has triggered many to have confidence to get out and explore the world for themselves. Love the geology lesson and how the planet has transformed over the millions of years in couple of your seasons. Season 5 very educational! Hopefully some day you have time to share a book of your travels. Thank you from the little Dutch town of Lynden WA - Ride on young lady you have earned it. It's been joy to see world through your eyes. Your hard work payed off. Cheers......
@greggordley7174 Noraly's first book is due to be published in 'early June'; it will cover Season One.
I love your boldness, your energy, and your resilience to travel these long, bumpy, and insecure roads and taking all of us along.
Thanks for this opportunity to tour the world 🌎 with you on a motor cycle.
Drone footage and music are mind blowing..
Like, I Always said... You are ONE of the Bravest n Most Cheerful Person.... Be Safe Always🙏👍😁❤️
Friendly folks. Lovely scenery. No muddy trails. A nice ride. Looking forward to Sunday’s video.
I am a religious person and Angolan. I came across your channel and I am writing a comment. Thank you for touring my beautiful country Angola. God bless and protect you 🙏
Angola has a nice natural beauty to it. And Luanda looks well developed.
The kindness that the people of Africa shows to others is awesome. Something a lot of other countries need to show a little more of to their fellow humans…..❤Thank you Noraly for the love you show to all you meet! I’m so glad I started following you so many years ago. 👍👍👍❤️❤️
Noraly stops and chats with random men or villagers in the middle of the jungle in West Africa. She has been receiving nothing but kindness and smile from strangers. I don't think ordinary African men or women (black person in general) would make it out alive if they were to go on a motorbike in the southern part of the USA today. People would call the police if he /or she walked into a restaurant wearing motorcycle gear to eat, and the police would harass them for no reason. God bless Africa and Africans.
Being called Tia or Uncle is a respectful way of addressing an older person. That's from my Philippine culture. We make you feel that you are a member of our family.
Correct. This occurs across many parts of Africa. Auntie, uncle, baba, mommy... all expressions of respect that aren't used solely to address family members. Additionally, its use is not necessarily an indication that the person being addressed is of advanced age.
It is a sign of respect when kids call you auntie 😊 .....they normally do that because they don't know your name.
What beautiful truths have been said. We could all live together in harmony, if given the chance. It would be such a joy and pleasure. ❤
Perhaps one day.
Como é bonita a Angola!
I like it when they greet you "everything ok?" or "are you ok?" ..its just implied that they are concerned for your safety.
Angola is really beautiful. Thank you Noraly.
Wow, beautiful aerial footage. 👍😊💙🇮🇪🇦🇴
Hallo, Noraly. Deine Begeisterung für Land und Leute macht richtig Apetit, Angola bzw. Afrika zu besuchen. Viel Glück und mach weiter so.
@joseflang701 Angola is a beautiful place to see. Has beachs , rivers, falls and deserts too. Have a lot of tropical fruits.
😮17:03 what a beautiful 😍 scenery. I never expected that.
Angola is beautiful too
Thank you Itchy Boots for sharing.
Wow Angola is beautiful, seeing South Africa always makes me emotional, I'm from Durban,Kwa Zulu, SA.Thanks for those drone shots and the music was fantastic.
Hi i love you channel, i am Angolan living in Luanda, i thought you will never come in Angola, and now I miss the chance to meet you. I would love to meet you and show you around. Have a nice journey. Thanks for passing in my country. Good content as always.
Thank you Noraly. That part of Angola is exceptionally beautiful. The folks are so kind and welcoming.
Angola is a beautiful country. The people are awesome too.
The people of Angola have been so welcoming and generous with their respect for Noraly. Stay well stay safe.😊
Look at her just walking around being left alone, and when she asks for help, they help her.
What did you expect to happen?
This part of the world is positively therapeutic! As you and Alaska relax and cruise, our spirits are also up and enjoying this gorgeous country!!! Abd its people. I learnt more about Angola watching this than all books and videos. Grazie!
Nice video! Lots of memories! On this 2 last videos you went through historical places related to Netherlands!The Dutch West India Company took over Luanda and surrounding areas in the middle of the 17th century in order to control the trade in the area. The dutch colony was called Governorate Loango-Angola. The Dutch had allied with the kingdom of Congo and with Queen Nzinga of the Ndongo kingdom. But in the end both parties had different interests ( the kingdoms wanted to get rid of the portuguese along the rivers Cuanza and bengo and Luanda and the dutch just wanted to trade). Anyway the dutch presence lasted only 7 years, but they went on trading well into the 18th century. Muxima where you have been, was stage of a battle between dutch and portuguese forces. When you entered Luanda from the north you were not far away from the Fort of Sao Pedro da Barra that was started by the dutch and the fortaleza de Sao Miguel in Luanda was renamed at the time Fort Aardenburgh. And also some dutch family names still exist nowadays. So, somehow you were biking on your ancestors footsteps. And you were on the Quissama National Park area, great with wildlife! Go on having a great time in this beautiful country!
Oh Mother Africa! ❤️
Thank you Noraly!🙌🏾
