- This is the final episode of my journey through Africa .. for now. The rainy season has gotten too intense, so I will have to wait out some of the heaviest rains. In the meantime, I am going to use this time to go on other adventures and try out different motorcycles!

Your tour of the palm oil making, pottery and visit with the king were very interesting. Thanks for bringing us along!
Noraly always holds the winning card,her content is unique,the connection with locals that give us the chance to learn new things in every video ❤. No to mention her kindness,well educated young lady.
I agree
i would say no unique but interesting at times. There are tons of people on youtube that are motorcycling all over the world.
That was one hell of a palace. Why are they wearing their pj's?
I will be waiting for your adventure to resume.
I bought a Royal Enfield after watching Itchy Boots and I'm 80. It's been a ball, even though many years since riding my old skills have returned. I owe Noraly a large debt for inspiration. Haven't yet mastered the drone but working on it. Thanks Itchy Boots. 💕💕💕
Yours is one of the greatest comments I’ve ever read. To be inspired at your age and “having a ball” is one of the things Itchy Boots channel has broadcast around the world. Good for you, I’m 62 and pray I can still ride as long as possible. 👍🏼 😎 🇺🇸 🌎
The skills never left you .They have just been sleeping. You never lose them really .l have been riding over 50 years now .Survived a couple of high speed highway accidents. Now that I'm old I think about selling my bike and hanging it up ,but i just can't do it yet .
I'm 77 years and 10 months old. Four months ago I bought a 2023 Suzuki DR 650R. My wife has a Royal Enfield, and my second bike is a BMW R1200C. It pleases me and restores my faith in mankind reading about you acquiring a Royal Enfield (Himalayan?). Enjoy your RE but please, please be careful!! Too many knuckle heads on the road.
That's great! I'm from the Netherlands and follow Noraly on her adventures
❤ I wish you many happy times 😊🍀 Keep safe on your travels👍
Can i just say a big THANKYOU Noraly......we ( my father and me ) found your channel late last year and thoroughly enjoyed binge watching the Alaska trip.
I was Dads carer for the last 2 1/2 years and your great videos really helped with his Dimentia as he could follow your progress in his old atlas which was a great stimulus for him.
Dad was a keen motorcyclist in his youth and loved to travel on his Triumph Tiger Cub 200cc but this all ended in 1959 when he had a very bad crash, i think the single cylinder engine sound from " Alaska" reminded him of his younger years.
He was sometimes stunned by the huge distances you covered daily on tracks and unmade roads and often said that your journeys were the best advert for the Honda 300.
Unfortunately Dad passed away in May this year but was really enjoying the Africa trip videos until he passed.
So thanks again for all you did for Dad and please have a nice long rest, you know we'll all be here waiting for you to return.
What a touching story…sorry for your loss and thank you for sharing. Noraly brings comfort and joy to so many!!
Sorry for your loss!
🥰
When Itchy boots rode the Royal Enfield I wanted one, but I didn't make it then. Then when she was riding the Honda CB 500 X I bought this bike too. Now my brother has been so impressed by her Alaska that he has bought new Honda crf 300 Rally. I hope Norally doesn't buy anything new for a while or she will ruin us financially 😅😅
I will pray for you, but I think you’re doomed.😂
Cyclists use a formula for how many bikes they should own. It is N+1. if you use this philosophy you will end up very happy, and very broke.
😂😂😂😂😂
She will buy Himalayan 450...
The next bike will be a Harley Davidson.
Bankrupt. 😂😂
The King realized Noraly is as brave as the Agojie!!! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Enjoy your break Noraly, you deserve it, we want you to be safe always!!! ❤❤❤
Any foriegner that does that journey and leaves withou malaria and retains thier life is a true Champ and also fortunate indeed.
The woman making the pots was the absolute highlight of this season. What an absolutely skilled artisan, economy of movement, symmetry, skill and beauty. I'm sure no one sits around admiring her vessels, but it was just amazing to watch her work. She could have her own channel! Really glad your are not going to try to ride through the rains after what you've already gone through in the Liberian mud, Noraly. Reboot but get the itch again soon!
Yes the way she was making those pots without a spinning wheel, she made it look easy. And 1 dollar per pot, bargain.
making pots from clay was common thing centuries ago. Were used regularly back then, also without a need of spinning wheel. Some were made in molds. I had 2 of pots for flowers, they were very old, but unfortunately one got broken by a cat xD and i think i had the other one still, its a big one, but those are very fragile, most can't withstand even small impact if they would fell on the side.
I was also very impressed by the pot lady.
She is a very skilled artisan.
@@milosstojanovic4623 I know I do archaeology
"You are the company you keep." A King no less...! ❤
Thank you for inviting us along with your adventure, Noraly.
This episode has been very tough for you, Noraly. From the toughest rides through the deserts of Mauritania to bad traffic in Senegal, cross country routes, intense mud sludge roads, dangerous cliffs and encountering rude military/police. You've been through it all and we're HAPPY that you're finally taking a break! Yes and amen to that! Take good care of yourself.
You forgot the 50 stuck trucks, the blown clutch and the landmines; and yet she has met great people, amazing mechanics and helpful folks where ever she goes. Noraly can make it all work, but make it a fun breathtaking ride.
Well said! 👏🏽💕🙏🏾
This *season. Yes?
Noraly definitely has experienced many different obstacles in this season to have to overcome, yet she does it with confidence and a smile!
The next season will begin with the words, welcome to the moon???
A special poem for Noraly
Meet Itchi Boots
The woman with the lead foot
She travels the world on a motorcycle
Facing danger and meeting fascinating people
Her passion is geology
Also knows a great deal about topography
She unconsciously wins the heart of many people
As she continues to hunt for the wilder tribes people
She strives to give her audience the best videos,
with each episode things begin to explode,
on the road
Her body continues to hurt
But she still hits the dirt
Ice, snow, mud and rain will not stop her to continue her quest
To become the very best
We love you Noraly and we thank you for showing us the world
And wish you the very best when riding on the dirt road
This is absolutely lovely. NORALY has a beautiful spirit that we welcome in the African continent 🙏
lol you writing a poem for someone who doesnt care. She has not responded to you silly goose.
@Yvonne passages - beautiful poem
It is indeed a beautiful poem
If you treat her like a celebrity she will treat you like a fan
Wow, just wow! In a crazy world, here’s is a formidable, and please forgive me, a beautiful lady from the Netherlands riding a motorcycle over entire continents. You certainly have an amazing channel!
This is why I love Noraly..NOT only does she show us amazing places, BUT tells is the history and digs into the background..ALWAYS....WELL DONE!!
I bow to Noraly , never seen such an amazing lady on CZcams who provides this level of professional content and its pretty darn humbling to watch her thru the travels all alone. Kudos to you Noraly your truly a Queen in this world
She's a Dutch chick. If she gets angry she'd probably win battles against half the male population in the world if pitted 1 v 1.
@@mattstroker3742. Dutch girls truly are in a league of their own.
I travelled a lot myself in my younger days and you meet all nationalities on the road…Dutch people both male and female were always fabulous I love them…tolerant stable and open minded they were always guaranteed to be great company…very VERY cool.
A HUGE shoutout to that brilliant potter ! I love the sporadic glimpses of indigenous art that appear on the channel. Thks Norally for a great series
If Noraly see's this, may I suggest that whilst back in the Netherlands, it would be interesting if you visited VLISCO who are the Dutch company that has been supplying West Africa with Wax- print fabric since the early 1900's. Your CZcams episodes show numerous Africans wearing the brightly coloured wax-print fabric, although most will unfortunately be copies or fake. It would be interesting to hear your view after understanding Vlisco's heritage, and then reporting from Nigeria as to their view on why the fabric comes from the Netherlands and why the patterns and motifs include so many diverse meaning in the different regions.
The king was just as fascinated by your travels as we all are. Looks like you picked up a new subscriber.
Africa is indeed intense, as this, your best series yet, has shown. Enjoy your break.
Your health is the most important aspect of taking a break. Rest up! Can’t wait to see the next adventure.
I watched a small clip on tik tok in Nigeria. ” gimme money!”
Ive now binged watched 50 youtube episodes of this amazing adventure/journey though Africa.
Absolutely cracking.
Best thing ive watched by far in a long time x
I don't blame her at all and frankly I have no idea how she was able to deal with all the problems that were beyond her control. I think she is truly amazing.
No one is blaming her. All obstacles are realistically expected and she did absolutely fantastic
@@MukyalaKiyingi-Love shut up and stop being a simp
We all knew you were an ambassador for the motorcycle community but an audience with the king it has now been made official!
👑
Noraly doesn't just represent the motorcycle community. She represents all CZcams viewers and couch explorers who will never get the chance to visit such places.
Next episode 's South Africa !!!❤️👍
Thought it was cool how the king was so interested in Noraly's travels. Tells a little about his character!
A break well deserved, Noraly! This African adventure has been amazing and I thank you for sharing it with us. I learned more about Africa in this Season 7 than I've ever known about it. Be well and take care.
Noraly is definitely an educator! Her adventures have brought the world to us in a way that few could have imagined.
I have an illness that is awful and it stops me going anywhere, so what I get from your channel is pure escapism. But I am not needing drama or events to occur, rather the blissful serene and scenic drives are very soothing to me. The videos that you have said you worry may be boring are actually very calming and meditative. I love how you are so interested in animals. I hope you come to places that are equally interesting but less fraught. I just think that to do troubled lands needs a group of you. I am pleased you are coming back for a while.
Awesome. Africans have a beautiful culture.
Noraly , ambassador to the world. The wise king saw your value, learning news of the world beyond the walls of his kingdom the old way, from well seasoned travelers passing through his kingdom.
Lol
While true he's interested in Noraly's stories of adventure, I'm pretty sure he knows a lot about the world already because that king probably schooled in Europe.
@@Silver_o I looked into him, and he didn't.
One of the best things about traveling with you Noraly is that I don't have to go through airport security or check my baggage. 😊Safeguard your health above all else. You are loved worldwide. Did I hear a sigh of relief from Alaska in the background as you made your closing announcement?😂
This is how beautiful the villages look like without plastic pollution. Am so happy to see plastic hasn't reached those villages yet. Anyone else noticed that?!😊
It has absolutely reached them, you see it used allover, they just reuse and burn what they don't need.
I am looking forward to the adventures you have planned during your break from Africa and of course the resumption of you African trip. Your channel is my favourite by far. I get bored with others but not with yours, I am always pleased when I see that there is a new episode to brighten up my evening. The African trip is just so interesting. Your channel never fails to show me something new and fascinating. I would go so far as to say that I enjoy your channel as much or more than anything else at the moment. I really admire these hard working and ingenious people. I love the way the guy climbs the tree and the beautiful pots that the woman makes. I hope that when you resume your trip you may investigate African art. Keep up the good work, Noraly - we need you you !
Dear Noraly, one of your best episodes ever. Thank u for helping me discover my Africa through your eyes.
Your videos have definitely changed with less motorcycling and more village visiting and with some historical facts. I love the change because seeing and hearing about the various Africa areas is very interesting. You have always shown to your viewers your motorcycle and video skills which are very professional. Keep up the great work. I haven’t missed a single video. Thank you Noraley. Await the next adventure.
I'm happy you are taking the break. Africa is truly intense, challenging and unpredictable. You have done very well and covered places even most brave African men won't go. I love you and look forward to new adventures ❤
Who told you so nothing is intense in this vedio
Shame on European colonization that caused African people suffering. Thank you Noraly for precious information
Lots of food in Africa so no one is suffering here.
Maybe rephrase:
Economic underdeveloped if you don’t like the “suffering” but the reality and truth is we are suffering economic ,political and infrastructural. If the millions of dollars they take from Africa to run European economies is used for economic development in Africa we would be far better than France
@@NkiksAlways Corruption is also a major part. Even the most poor countries like Sierra Leone make billions every year but refuse to even provide clean drinking water or health services to their citizens meanwhile the politicians that supposedly only make small salaries have mansions in other (mainly European) countries
It's so great to hear that you are taking a break for health reasons, among others.
We need and want you to keep healthy and to look after yourself.
I have enjoyed this part of your African adventures so much, and you have given us an intimate view of countries and cultures that most of us will never get to experience!
Thank you so much for everything that you put into these videos!
Noraly, This has been a wonderful Season 7. I have enjoyed every episode and looked forward to the next. Your riding and navigating thru so many borders has been impressive. Your meeting so many different peoples and their cultures has been wonderful to take in. It so comes thru how you enjoy people so much. Your interest and respect for everyone you meet is a wonderful kindness equal to your sense of adventure and discovery. For now though, take care of yourself, and I will look forward to new videos again, which I am certain will be filled with great surprises. I have followed your work in real time, from the beginning and I am so impressed with what you have provided to all of us. Take care. Thank you. Sincerely, Sato.
I totally agree with Robert!
Noraly is the BEST Ambassador of the Netherlands, motorcycle travelers and the world adventurers could hope for! Noraly is …..Loving, good natured, calm in stressful times, excellent in social graces, professional😊 YT film editing and educated earth scientist! Wow, what a CZcams POWERHOUSE ! I love this channel!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, for leaving Africa!!!!!!!
Thank you again Noraly, for taking us along with you on your wonderful travel adventures, to see all of these places that we could only dream of ever visiting ourselves. Have a nice break back in Europe and get a good rest and come back refreshed and healthy to let us all rejoin you on continuing your African adventures again, when you are feeling ready to do so. Best wishes, from another of your fans, in the Land Down Under. 😉👍❤
I am crying…I don’t want it to end, but I also want a healthy and happy and ever-so-interesting Noraly to take me on new adventures. I can’t wait! Blessings to the rain in Africa. ❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for showing us the different skills of the people who live there. And, I had no idea how palm oil was extracted, or what the fruit even looked like. So much we take for granted with the foods that just show up in the store. But even if palm oil is (probably) made commercially, it started with humans using their own hands, strength and intelligence to use the bounty of the Earth. The account of the visit with the king and that history was also fascinating!
Ahhh...the break is happening. I'm happy that you are having (or had) that break, and I look forward to what you have up your sleeve during the break. It's always great, whatever you choose to do and show us! 👍 🤩
I love the pride in their industry but wow such hard work. Thank you again for showing us their home and way of life
The King is a new subscriber now I hope!
You are just fantastic! I bet the king was amazed hearing you telling about all your adventures! Good to hear you ´re taking a break from West Africa. We all wish you the very, very best! 👍
This episode was deeply moving to me... funny given the fact you so regularly take us into worlds we would never otherwise KNOW existed. But watching that woman make those lovely pots touched me deeply. THIS is her world... a world we glimpsed because you took us there. The pot cost a dollar in the market but it is her livelihood. It is humbling. We actually think the world WE know is the real world... We have no idea... until Noraly shows us what is true. Thanks Noraly... we'll take a break now. Perhaps I'll return to an earlier adventure... one of the many you've shared with us. Thank you dear person.
“Africa is pretty intense”. Now there is an understatement! 😊😊 enjoy you break!
Simply the best CZcams channel in my humble opinion - amazing adventures and such a brilliant way to learn from all you see here. Thank you for sharing with all 1,780,000 subscribers. Look forward to seeing what is next for you (and us) Noraly.
I agree with your humble opinion. Nothing better! Peace.
I imagine Alaska needed a break as well. Thank you for a unique, fascinating journey thru West Africa that we would otherwise never have gotten to see.
Will Alaska go back to Europe do you think? Or stay in storage for a while?
It's a machine it doesn't need a break 😂😂😂
Thanks for letting us all be a passenger on your bike. You can't get any closer to a culture. What stories you have for years to come. Stay safe! 🇳🇱🇨🇦
Noraly is definitely doing the right thing by taking a well-deserved break. As she stated, being on the anti-malaria drugs does take its toll on the body. She has endured so much to date. Besides there being political unrest in many of the areas she's been in, besides Malaria-there are other tropical diseases. And she has never once complained about the food or any gastrointestinal issues she may have faced in that heat and humidity. She has really pushed herself. That's how brave she is. The countries of West Africa and all of Africa are gorgeous, and the people are beautiful. She has made some great friends. She's right about the torrential rains. We'll be waiting for her to return. May she be reinvigorated in body and soul, ready for the next adventure! Many of us are wondering where she left Alaska before departing Benin.
Yes, she is good about cliffhangers. Seems so many us have the same questions! We have to stay tuned to find out! Ugh! Lol!
Noraly = One Powerhouse Human. Thank you for the wealth of information, and taking your viewers on these amazing journeys most of us would otherwise never experience. Vicariously thrilled!💙🙏
You have done something in Africa that no one has done before- your compassion and honest interest in the lives of each person you meet is extraordinary. I have been scared on your behalf, the stresses of the travel, making the mile by mile trek dealing with road conditions, enviromental hazards and then of course weather - I don't know of teams that could do as much. You do this with such heart, smiling the whole way through. You amaze us everyday. I am happy for you for this break. I would say rest and take care of yourself, -go to a spa! You deserve it. 😄 Knowing you, you will find another adventure to share with us. (Maybe a rally!) Love and immense admiration. RK.
Speaking of road conditions. That episode with the trucks passing right into oncoming traffic was clearly quite dangerous and obviously for Benineans (?) as seen in passing the wrecked semi. It was quite unnerving to watch. Noraly navigated it as though it were everyday and didn't bother to give it a nod.
Cre8... yes, that was quite scary! With wide eyes I was saying out loud OMG!!?!! With no comment from
Noraly like, ho-hum no big deal 😳! Stay SAFE and healthy, hopefully not too long a wait for your next post
🇺🇸🏍
Noraly’s ability to share her daily experiences with the local people is unmatched. Navigating the oncoming traffic as though it is just another part of her journey is amazing. Plus, she spent forty-five minutes with the King! She certainly deserves a rest break!
Thank you Noraly for such an interesting series on West Africa. I’m sure everyone is looking forward to whatever it is you have planned on the future.
Wow! You’ve been so amazing. Indeed the malaria here is very deadly for Europeans and especially it’s rampant during the rains here in west Africa.
great adventures, vicariously for me. these African countries, bad roads, smiling faces.
most amazing, noraly never has to pee. and never gets dysentery. I get cramps just watching.
Thats funny! She surely does choose her content wisely! Peace!
I love your adventures but i think so many of your subs are here for you and will be happy to watch wherever you are. You have quickly become my favorite CZcamsr. Cheers.
Thank you Noraly. Throughout this series you have carried yourself with dignity and excellently presented to the world my continent,its history, culture, traditions, and people with respect. I agree with your instincts to take a break, refresh and regroup. I will anxiously wait to see what next you have planned for this amazing channel.
I would be so proud if you were my daughter,congrats to your Mum and Dad......... Patrick in South Wales
That woman making the pots at 18:37 is the REAL Queen imo if there was to be one.
Good morning Normally, I am an old biker (73) And I deeply apologize as you prefer to ride alone, but I (and many thousands) was always biking with you, you went to places I can't no more go or even dream to go. I love the relationship you have with local people. I don't even believe you will read this comment but be aware that you will always have a place to rest in my house in Portugal.❤
Thank you, Noraly for bringing us with you to Africa. I'm glad that you're taking a break. You're looking so very tired and the rainy season wouldn't be good for you right now. But, the videos have been outstanding and such an adventure for all of your subscribers. Please give us an update in a few days. Take care of yourself.
As you travel in Africa I love this continent more than ever. The sunrises and sunsets, the rich cultures, the hospitable friendliness, the amazing creativity, the diverse landscapes. I am from Zimbabwe. I am amazed at how well your guide speaks English.
This is more of what i hoped for interaction with the locals,you have always done a great job on showing just how wonderful the world can and is if only people would stop trying to destroy it.
This is the real reality show of all shows, keep up with the great job but always remember to have enjoy and have fun,
I forgot to like, always being mesmerized!
Of all the different channels we watch, yours is the most interesting for us. You really take the time to explain your travels, the sites, history and customs for each area you visit. Very impressive. Great channel ❤
A day in the life of West Africans, so thoughtfully done and recorded. I've been hoping you are not there now during their troubles, but I know you are careful. Stay safe, Happy Trails!
Thank you for taking us along on your journey. Rest up and take good care.
You're right about the fuel situation in Benin, I lived in Benin as a kid from Nigeria and throughout my years there before we relocated back to Nigeria, they always use the fuels in the bottles smuggled in from Nigeria. You really dig deep to know the history, that's commendable.
It’s so interesting to see how different life is in other countries and how people make a living! Thank you, Noraly!
Well done Itchy Boots.. It has been a journey and we have followed each episode. You are very brave to take on all those chellenges and never have I seen you throw in the towel. Above all, you have introduced us to North West Africa, Sahara and West Africa. Beautiful views from the drone. The Alaska's roadside rebulid, I never expected her to roar back to life but wow she did, well done. Whatever you decide to do next, we will be waiting to follow the journey. Have a good and well deserved rest. This is not the end but beggining of another episode. Looking fwd to it.
LOVE TO SEE THIS. Last time a saw a gourd tree was 50 years ago. So much memories. Thanks so much.
How could you not like this video or any produced by Noraly? Every video just sets the bar higher! Her love and passion for travel and meeting people come through along with her love of biking! What a breath of fresh air you are Noraly. We can all learn from you!
I have been addicted to your channel for several years. You are the only CZcamsr whose new video I am waiting for
That addiction is for you and over a million other people. We like her travels after all, many of us are locked in our work places
Hi, haha, I am waiting too. Also this time I forgot to close my mouth. Every video is special. Fascinating again.
I always check for new videos 😅😅even though I have the notifications bell 🔔 🤣🤣🤣
One of the finest part of Noraly’s African journey was in the last two vlogs . The content pertaining to local customs , rituals and interactions with local people is something one can only see by visiting the places. And Noraly takes us there. From the unique houses of common Africans to meeting with the King of Dahomi at his Royal palace, Itchy Boots vlogs are unique for such uniquely varied content . Noraly makes her Drone talk when she is not doing so. And when she does , she communicates with the locals exceptionally well.
And it’s Hard hard work all the way. Good to know about your break from African series but it was not surprising as rains would make it difficult. Take care of yourself well Noraly. We all pray for your good health. Till we see you in the next episode …. 👋 bye
What an episode and what an end to the current season. Now, here we are only able to click one thumbs up when a huge thumbs up or more is in order.
Have a lovely break. Have fun, rest.....Best wishes and Thank you for being the most badass young woman this Grandmother has ever seen.
"Africa is pretty intense..' I'll say. Wow! West Arica especially. So many unique and interesting countries and regions in this huge continent. Best wishes for your break - looking forward to what comes next. Thanks, as always.
Noraly, you entered Morocco 6 months ago. What an arduous journey to get halfway down West Africa. It takes a special kind of person to persevere and overcome all of the obstacles that confronted you. When next to Niger, you gave us a glimpse into the events unfolding there through the words of those who had left - just when Niger is making the world news with the turmoil going on there. I don't know if most West Africans are always smiling and friendly, but they certainly were when you talk to them. I think it is your innate ability to connect with people and their culture that has brought you this far. The viewers of this channel are getting an education that is priceless. Malaria is not something for a westerner with no immunity to take lightly. A friend of mine nearly died and after months finally recovered. But they decided to return to their African journey and the second bout proved fatal. Covered up like you are on the cycle certainly is wise. Stay safe and enjoy your much needed respite.
I’m knocked out by this channel it’s so professional I no longer want the BBC!!! 🙏from🇬🇧
I am a born travel adventurer, and I used to read National Geography magazine in order to quench the thirst of my inner interest of places and people. I think I have seen and have learnt more about the world's geography by watching Noraly's travel blog. I personally admire her courage. Sometimes, I get so worried while watching her travelling through those jungles alone by herself. I'm going to miss her for a while, but she needs some rest. Waiting to see you in good health with good spirits.
From Barcelona.
All I can say is, we love you. Keep riding with the usual smiles even in bad times. You exude nothing but positive vibes.
As a west African I say kudos to you girl! Thanks for such a great great content. It was nice to see you stop in Kenema!
Well deserved break. Another great show! Take care and always put your health and safety first.
As a Malay Malaysian, we have the same game played by the two lads, it is called congkak here. It is almost the same, but we have longer board with more holes, like twelve or ten each and a big hole at each end. Each player will claim one big hole at the end as their home hole.The rules is to fill the end home hole as many marbles possible. The first player to fill it with more marbles will win. However it has to be played strategically. The player must make sure their marble doesn't end on the empty hole, as they will lose their turn. You can also aimed to emptied opponent hole with marbles and bring it to your main hole at the end. It is a bit confusing at first, but once you get hang on it, it is pretty fun actually.
Break well deserved! Thanks for all the thrill and leanings so far in Africa and all the best Noraly!
You've seen more of Africa than many of us would have ever dreamed of. Thank God and be careful and I wish you all the best.
What a fabulous way to end and have a break - meeting the King and getting to chatting with the locals and seeing their amazing sustainable way of life.
In 1982, when I was a young foreign student in the US, I took a motorcycle ride cross the country in the Summer vacation, from San Francisco to Boston and rode back to the west coast .
I thought it was a great journey, but comparing with your venture in West Africa, that's really nothing.
Good luck to you, ma'am, wish you all the best to your remaining journey.
I hate to see it end. Fascinating series. Thank you. Looking forward to the next adventure.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks Noraly you’re rapidly becoming the “Anthony Bourdain” of travel by motorcycle, great series enjoy the mini European adventures 👏👏👏
Terrific documentary and storytelling Noraly. Thank you. Enjoy your African break and we look forward to more Moto adventures!
I am so not surprised by your decision to leave your current journey which I followed with anxiety from the beginning. Your security was on my mind every step of the way much more this time than the other runs you made in other parts of the world. I feel much better now. I really enjoy the quality of you work and I look forward for your next segment. Good décision from your part!
Noraly well deserved break, I will look forward to whatever is coming our way. You still are a bright star traveling through our diverse communities, with joy, and a sparkling side of humanity. 🙏🏼❤️
Here is to your health Noraly! There is so much value in the stories, history and scenery that you bring us, we are more than happy to wait for the time you are refreshed and ready to set out again.
HURRY BACK...but don't hurry back. Take your time and enjoy, we'll miss you and your travels. I've learned a lot and enjoy it all!!🥰 ✌
Hey Noraly another great episode, glad to see common sense is prevailing over " Big 👍up"
Proverbs 22:3
The shrewd one sees the danger and conceals himself, But the inexperienced keep right on going and suffer the consequences.
Looking forward to the next educational ride.🏍️
I am almost ashamed to say that I have not heard of many of these smaller African countries until now. Thank you so much for bringing the beautiful people and geography to us around the world. You are a gem. Enjoy your break, Noraly! I imagine of course that Alaska will be tuned up, gas tank mended, and ready to go upon your return to Africa. Looking forward to seeing what you have planned to share with us in the meantime. Take care, Noraly! From, California!
Noraly really does her research well , taking all the needed precautions and preparations. Knows how to think on her feet. Approaches her adventures like chess , thinking multiple moves ahead. Hope you enjoy your "downtime " whatever that is as you seem to be always on the go.
Hi Noraly, We deeply appreciate your sacrifice of your health and safety for the sake of entertaining us at our comfort zone at home, thank you very much. Please do take care. No female ever attempted a journey or an adventure so thoroughly, well done. God bless.
Noraly, you are living my dream life. I wish I could travel like you do. We are proud of you and my hat’s off to you for your courage and braveness. Season 7 was a blast.👏👏👏
Thanks for taking us all along on another wonderful season of adventures. Africa was far different than I’d believed it to be prior to your trip. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute, the terrain, the food, the people and their customs, and of course the misadventures you overcame (especially the mud). Have a safe journey home and can’t wait for your next journey.
My Niece was one of, if not the first foreigners into Benin to help fight the Ebola outbreak, so this video is of special interest to me, giving me a better view of the country. Thanks so much Noraly... Looking forward to your next adventures. You travel with all our love. Cheers.
I will miss your awesome videos. Getting a peak into the life of an African King is unreal. Thank you for the adventure . I will miss your inspiring journeys but I am also glad that you are able to take a break. See you in the next video!!
You really need a break Noraly , this Season is really tough, we appreciate your effort to share with us the most rare life in this world... take a break we will miss you im sure.
