At any point in this Season you should take all the time you need for rest, maintenance and planning. Your fans will all be there when you return.
Exactement , que Noraly prenne son temps.On sera toujours là à l'attendre.
I agree in an absolute way.
She make good notice of yr suggestion, 2 weeks no news!
La circulation à Dakar est démentielle ! Nous ,les parisiens qui nous plaignons des embouteillages, on ne doit rien dire par rapport aux automobilistes dakarois...
Noraly take all the time you need. We are here for YOU!
Noraly is not only making us explore the world through her eyes but also she is restoring our faith in humanity.
Good one, i felt the same as you about this lady.
Yes!!!
So true.
So right.
Maybe there…..butt that people, when they arrive in holland ,…….no change
Your channel isn't really about motorcycles or sports. It's about exposing the true character of humans in this world. We are more united, peaceful and kind than western news media would like us to believe. Thanks for sharing this great adventure with us.
Noraly posted a message on her website today. She is just taking her time, a rest and getting things sorted out. She is making sure that she is properly prepared for more of her journey.
Good to hear, thank you!
Thanks for saying
Good to hear! Was getting a bit worried.
Your travels are so impressive. Don't kick yourself for not being able to create 3 videos a week. I'll take them whenever you can get them done. Travel safely and try to enjoy yourself as best possible. Will be happy to see your next video whenever it comes.
"Don't kick yourself for not being able to create 3 videos a week."
Yes, good advice. we will be here.
No use attacking the middle of the candle with a blow torch when you are burning it at both ends..
Rest, relax, repeat..
You have to do what you can and when you can. Mjust be safe and plan your journey.
You owe us no excuses. You're doing an incredible job. Take a break when you need to. We'll be here waiting when you return.
True
Absolutely true!
You need more water .. be safe .
Noraly you're making $300k a month on this channel. Why don't you hire some people to help you out?
@@terryrobertson111 sadly our Dutch taxes take at least 75% of that away..
I love the way she presents each area, showing interesting features and not comparing it complaining!!
I am unable to read the thousands of comments but I’m pretty sure ALL of us are saying noraly should rest, take time off.
We all love you dearly!!!
Enjoy your rest Noraly! You take care of yourself and don’t worry about us. We’ll be here when you return. Bless you my friend!
What Noraly considers defeat, classifies as a major victory for everyone else. So yes, dear Noraly we understand. We watch as you travel through inhospitable no-mans lands and wow over how well you navigate it. But watching you weave through that insane tight traffic for so long and not getting into an accident is equally if not more impressive. Hoping you and Alaska relaxed and got recharged after the break. On a side note I also want to send a comment to Noraly's parents; Thank you for your part in having and raising Noraly. She has become a huge inspiration of joy, hope, love, and peace in a seemingly troubled world. Peace ❤❤❤
By not seeing your videos in the last few days i am sure your viewers will realize how much they miss your amazing and unpredictable videos. Probably the best riding vlogs on TH-cam😊
She used to upload videos every few days.
Been 2 weeks since this video.
Hope nothing bad has happend to her.
She was going through some tough areas.
She mentions in this video she is waiting on parts
And there's gonna be a break on the channel
@@TexMexAdventures I'm glad you mentioned that. I got hooked on her in Mauritania and decided to go back to Season 1 and watch from there, so I missed the most recent ones. I hope everything is okay. She's a bright light in this world, and we need more people like her. The world would be a better place.
17hours ago, she’s in IG:
This Wednesday I am back on TH-cam! & 1 think I am ready for the next part of Africa - starting with making sure Alaska is in good shape.
From now on, I am releasing videos every Wednesday and Sunday. I just can't keep up with the insane workload of producing 3 videos per week, while also crossing some of the hardest parts of the world for overland travel & Nobody is telling me to create three episodes per week, but still, I find it difficult to go back down and work 'less' But, if I want to stay on the road and not succumb to the workload, this is what I have to do. I hope you understand! A
I can't wait to share amazing places and crazy African adventures with you!! See you on TH-cam❤
there is a saying "take regular breaks to sharpen the axe" even your rest your helping fans reminding them about balance
Look lady, We all REALLY really appreciate you sharing your adventure with the world, but you have to remember who you are doing this life for. You are doing it for the person you see in the mirror. You are doing it for you, we are just guests along the way. Thank you for sharing your life with me. A true inspiration
True.
So True
Very true
unbelievable true
Boring
The important thing is that you keep safe and healthy for us to enjoy these episodes
Thanks for bringing us a different vision of Western/ Northwestern Africa
It's definitely not a commercial speech but I think everyone respects your travels and your efforts. So... if you come back in two weeks or two months we'll all be calmer knowing you're ready. And if after your proper rest you decide to go home enjoying all the things you have done and seen without going around the world anymore, we could only say thank you for everything.
Having traveled myself a bit for a few years when I was younger and I can tell you that it’s a give and take.
On the one hand the physical travel of being on the move can be exhausting sometimes but the daily experiences of new smells, new foods, new horizons, mountains, beaches, tempels, people etc. gives you a lot of energy in return,.
It’s exiting and refreshing and you feel like you’re truly/ fully living and loving life.
I have had my TH-cam burnout before , make sure you don't go that way. Have fun doing what you love 🙂
Take the time you need to rest and sort out things. I cannot imagine how stressful it must be to film, edit and publish three videos a week while living on the road in west Africa with all the problems and challenges that come along with customs, insurance, visas, hotels, ... Big respect how you are keeping this up.
Noraly it’s obvious that you need some rest. You have been pushing yourself so hard for so long in Africa. Time to take care of yourself. We all want you be well and we will wait until you have recharged your batteries. Maybe when you come back one or two videos a week would be more manageable and sustainable while still staying healthy.
Noraly definitely has her plate full each week of riding and editing. It’s truly amazing that she is able to accomplish this and all the other tasks that go along with it.
I don’t look at it as a defeat. Like you said, you’re a one-woman show, and I think you produce better content than a whole production team could. You gotta rest, recuperate, and get yourself and Alaska ready for the next leg of the trip. I thoroughly enjoyed today’s video. Hats off to you, Noraly! 👍🏼👍🏼🤠
Well said
Genau richtig geschrieben
The second Iron Bridge in St Louis, was crafted by Gustav Eiffel and was originally designed to cross the Danube. In 1897, the bridge officially opened to the public. Composed of several iron arches, the bridge has a central mechanism that turns on a pillar to allow boat passage. The entire structure spans more than 1,000 feet (500 meters) and is UNESCO World Heritage-listed.
renewed in 2011
This lady makes content with a lot of quality, specially when we consider that she films and edits all alone + organises her routes and administrative paperwork. Take a month or more if you need, your life and health is more important.
You don't need to admit defeat at all. Your channel is amazing and we are seeing the world through your eyes and learning so much. Thank you.
She must hire a team of professionals for editing and uploading her videos it saves very much time and she will have alot of time to do her other daily life things
@@Ahmed-tl5rgShe’s a solo traveller who relies on her own wit, resources, knowledge and skill to deliver some of the best online content there is. Her videography skills continue to improve with each series and part of the charm is that she is creating something that she finds interesting rather than relying on some anonymous third party editor. She knows herself better than anyone and her personality shines through with each video. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
@@ednaplate absolutely and her way is the best way for her.
Two episodes a week is plenty. Even one will keep us all happy. The main thing is you continue to enjoy your epic trip and not become a slave to it. It’s supposed to be all about the freedom of motorcycling and enjoying life right? An upload of you chilling and lazing about would also be fun to watch.
Well said, Paul.
@@Tom-xn2gu I second that!
You know it doesn't matter if you film only your riding, in fact it's probably more interesting to film where you are staying and what you're doing there. So we can experience what life is like there a little bit.
One video per week is enough. I suggest the following two priorities: 1) do not overwork yourself. Keep you journeys as enjoyable as possible. 2) Always consider your safety as you travel. Thanks for sharing your videos.
Dear Noraly, do not worry about taking some time to get all the logistical stuff sorted out. We will ALWAYS be here when you return to the channel.❤❤😉 The BEST is always worth the wait!! Highest Respect Be Well 💖💖🏍🤠
Take it easy Noraly, you don`t have to rush because of us. 1 or 2 videos per week is just fine, three is more than anyone else does when they are in home. Try to enjoy your journey! ❤
OK, I was worried about you. My common sense found it's way back to me. I watched your last video again and at the end of it you explained that you would be off the grid for a few weeks, I apologize for going nuts for a while there. It just shows how much we care about you. Michael(follower # 999000)
Hey Noraly,
I discovered your channel 2 month ago. This is a really nice piece of dream that you send us every week. I caught up by watching all the previous seasons :D
I'm not a biker, but I'm an "Africa Lover" who spent a lot of time in nearly all these Western & Eastern African countries that you intend to ride on Alaska.
After Americas, I was so happy to see you finally arriving in Africa, Morroco/Mauritania/Senegal was indeed a nice first leg... Congrats to face so many hurdles with keeping your lovely smile!
But, as I worked soooo many years in Western and Eastern Africa, I just want ot share my 2 cents with you: AVOID to ride in Mali, in northern part of Burkina, in whole Niger, in North Nigeria and North Cameroon ... I did organize many land survey missions over there, believe me: it's really dangereous... too many chances to make bad encounter with real bandits (from AQMi) who have no laws and take (preferently EU or US) hostages against money, when they don't kill'em ... I eventually had some of my crews highjacked in Nigeria and North Cameroon....
I know your willing of choosing your routes on your own, don't get me wrong, I do not want to interfere in your projects, and I'm sure that this break will help you to take all the best information/decision to avoid/mitigate how to ride in these areas...
I just want to see your adventures continue, and see your beautiful episodes on going! Wish you all the best... and keep Alaska and yourself in best shape!
Take care!
Even Noraly's explanation of why she can't post on her regular schedule in West Africa is fascinating. I'm just amazed at her stick-to-it-iveness considering all the many balls she's juggling. No doubt I'd have crumbled by now! I salute you and all your myriad skills , Noraly!.
I must say, I love Noralys travels by motorcycle. I don't even know how the TH-cam algorithm put this channel in front of me, but I'm glad it did.
Maybe the universe is trying to tell you something.
Just kidding lol I wouldn't want you buying a motorcycle an leaving the family. 😉
Take care.
@@IndecentAngels aaaå
right??? me too! i feel like a child who just stumbled upon the coolest thing
Me too 😮😂👏👍👍
I had my hands over my eyes as you were riding through the traffic and I have been riding bikes for 40 years.
Just going through the comments and seeing the amount of support you're getting from everyone is heartbreaking. What you do is amazing and you're an absolute hero. SO inspiring!
She's finally gotten to us all! She has changed the world by changing our world.
Not heartbreaking...heartwarming you mean
Relax guys, she mentioned in the end of the video that shes having a little break, which is totally understandable.
So lets just give her some time, im sure she'll be back soon.
Hou je goed noraly gun jezelf maar wat rust 👍
Living and traveling vicariously through Noraly is the only way I will see these parts of the world. I thank her for all the effort.
Yes, Tom, you are right! This has been an incredibly long journey for Noraly over the years. She definitely deserves a rest occasionally! Thanks to her, we get to see parts of the world that otherwise, we might never see!
KAVEER GOD Almighty 🙏🙏
Posted 14 minutes ago and already close to 7000 views. My adventures are limited to the United States, but Noraly's videos do inspire me to explore the dirt roads and visit the tiny towns, Mom and Pop restaurants, and take my time and experience all I can.
That's the good life, Dave.
I do the same up here in the Northeast corner.
Good egg.
Similar here.
Australia
WE did the same in 2009 in Canada and US . 17,000 kms. over 4.5 months... all the way across Canada and back across the US! All the back roads and small towns.. absollutely fell in love with both countries geography and the people! I was a relatively new motorcycle rider when I started and a pretty good one and videographer at the end. Printed the whole thing ( video blog) into a book as a suprise for my husband on our wedding anniversary! A trip of a lifetime.. I so admire Noraly... What a tremendous spirit and what she has shared with so many.. absolutely incredible. love to you Noraly!
I did that all over Europe in the 80's. Most of the roads were not marked on any map. This is true travel indeed...
Holy Moly, the traffic in Senegal is truly nutty. I thought Paris, France. Beijing, Shanghai and many other cities in Chine absolutely crazy. You do what you do in the best way you can. Being human you need to regenerate. You can't please everyone who visit's your site unless you can please yourself. The brain needs to relax. the body regenerated as mentioned. Stay safe, relax and enjoy. (Antrim, Northern Ireland)
Noraly - as you know ‘it’s your schedule’ ! A friend use to say to me ‘’take time to smell the roses’’. I would say your only requirement is to stay safe. We’ll enjoy whatever you do.
Don't worry, we will be here when you come back. Take the time you need. I've followed you since somewhere between india and europe and I can honestly say that you've restored my faith in humanity. And not many people could manage that amount of work you do. Take care and love from Sweden.
Noraly, you are a legend in giving us so much content per week. Most other motorcycle travel loggers, like Charlie, produce 1 video per week and even he finds that a lot of work. We are blessed that you give us so much and in some cases, like myself, plan our week around your videos as we live the world through your eyes. Gets some rest and re-orient yourself Noraly, you are in some very difficult surroundings. Thank you again Noraly.
Yes be safe don't stress can I say we will stand by haha
Норали, вы мой герой!
Спасибо за ваш труд, очень интересное видео.
Привет из России!
Noraly, 700 km in a single day is not an easy task, you definitely needs rest. We, your fans, can wait, because we are seeing the world through you. Take care. Love & prayers always👍💐
My goodness, girl! You don't have to worry about taking a break, because your fans/friends will be waiting when you are ready to come back. Don't forget, you are taking us all on an adventure with you. Relax, recuperate and return when you are rested. Peace and Love!
Geez! that traffic was crazy. You’re a lot braver than me for weaving your way through that maze of vehicles and people. I can only imagine how hot Alaska was getting judging by how many water cooled vehicles were stopped with the hood up because of overheating. Logistics in foreign countries has got to be a nightmare at the best of times. As a viewer I think we owe you the respect to take whatever time you may need to continue with your travels. Take care and I’m pretty sure your viewers will be waiting until you return. Good luck Noraly.👍👍🇨🇦
Amen to that
You are amazing, where you go, how you film it and how you manage to do it all on your own - an inspiration to everyone - Rest up and we look forward to seeing you when you are back on line -
There are 2 things to keep safe, yourself and Alaska. Your fans/subscribers may be disappointed but understanding.Take as much time as you need. We will be here when you return. We just wish was more we could do to help. 🏍♥
You definitely deserve a rest. This is an intense journey. Take care of yourself and don't forget to ENJOY the trip. Be safe out there. Don't let your upload schedule put you under pressure and take some enjoyment out of this trip. We will be here when you get back!!
I heard about Itchy Boots from my therapist. I now have an addiction to it. Really enjoying the ride.
Cool, that's funny 😂 I agree with your therapist. Only we will put them out of work with Itchy Boots escspe therapy for free 3 times a week 😊
Noraly, you WILL be SORELY MISSED. I for one don't know how you do it in the first place! All the riding, filming, and editing, I'm sure it wears you out. Take the time you need to recharge, I for one WILL be here when you return. Yet we both know, in two weeks, your boots will be itching to goooooooo😉. Thank you for all the episodes to the point👍👍. Until your return, relax (yeah right😎) rest up and we'll see you then. Bob in Nevada
You are an amazing person. We are so thankful you're letting us into your life and videotaping your trip. Showing us places and people we would never see. Rest now.
It's a milestone! You must feel accomplished. Congrats! But we fans are insatiable and guess will always want to see more!
Noraly, you are the only “One Woman Show” that I watch. From the time you picked out your first 450cc Royal Enfield in India, till now. In that time you have always been there for all of us. When you are ready to travel again, we will all be here for you. I know many people live vicariously through your videos and I am just one of the thousands of subscribers follow you. When you return we will again take time to be with you in spirit on your wonderful adventures. Thank you always… RBND
We will watch every minute of your incredible journey whenever you provide it. Be safe and keep healthy.
I'm addicted to your channel. I have 500 channels to watch, but I look for yours first. That's how good you are. Thank you so much for doing what you do. I'll be looking for you. Stay safe, recharge, regroup and return!
Personally, i don't think you need to think of this as a defeat. You've already ridden much further in much more challenging situations than anything I have ever - or really will ever do. It's a joy to watch your vids and to learn about the complexities of riding through Africa as you do it.
Please - from all of us - take as many breaks as you need. Your fans will mostly all be here whenever you are ready to show us more of your adventures.
For now, please, please, please, rest up and stay safe.
The schedule up to now was insane. A video every other day with all the filming, the driving, production, organization, uploading, etc. You have my deepest respect. But it is not necessary to keep the pace so high. This is not a sprint, it is a marathon.
Don't apologize, Noraly! Don't lose yourself. We understand, we accept. You post, we watch and we like. Google/TH-cam might say that the algorithms are set up to favourite frequent and scheduled uploads, but you and the general subscriber are smarter than that.
Dude! That traffic!.... Chaos that somehow works. Noraly certainly looks like she could do with a week or two off. She does a mighty good job.
the thing I love most about this channel is when Noraly talks to the locals
Here in Morocco there are many Senegalese. The Moroccan people love the Senegalese people because the Senegalese are polite, educated and respectful of others. I hope to visit Senegal one day, it is a wonderful country. 🇲🇦❤️🇸🇳

An amazing country. I can see how in the USA so Many would never survive living there in Dakar . 🤗🦊
Damassi TV you're a liar.
There were so many raciste attacks against black Africains in morrocco even last week!
It's been while now Noraly. In Africa it's important to keep in touch. I know you are savvy and I hope you are safe. Sudan is in terrible conflict. Africa is an unpredictably continent. Beautiful and Wild but racked with war and conflict. Please just drop us a note to say you are safe.
Many african countries don't have any war just few don't generalise all the continent
Hey, welcome in Dakar. Happy to have you around. I'm born and raised in the city and am a rider myself. We have a large and supporting community or motorcycle riders. Do not hesitate to contact me if you need support in any things. Welcome in Senegal.
Good on you man. When I'm traveling it's the local riders like you that make the trip great. We're all lucky to be part of this world wide community.
If one can ever get the opportunity to go to such a beautiful place in Africa it is so nice to know there will be a welcoming person, 🌏🌎🌍🦊
Noraly, aka Superwoman, most certainly deserves a break! The last leg of your adventure was absolutely exhausting, I am positive. I so admire how you manage your one woman show. Todays nightmare traffic has me tired just watching. Try to rest a bit , whilst planning and prepping and we’ll be here when you return🥵🔥🙌🏻
My Itchy Boots cap arrived today, very happy with it and am pretty sure it takes 10 years off me when wearing it! It will be a real conversation starter I think. Take whatever time you need in order to properly prepare for the next stage, because your followers are a loyal bunch!
Don't push yourself over too hard lady. Take some rest we will be here waiting for you no matter how long it takes. Salute!
Noraly's beautiful journey through the mountains of South America, visiting mines, seeing snow and coastlines and glaciers.... and then the traffic of Dakar. Proof once again that world travel is NOT for everyone like me, for sure. Beautiful job pairing the impatient sounding music with the traffic. You are a brave, brave lady. Travel safe. Your audience will still be here of course.
I love Noralys videos, after five years still hier waiting for a new episode.❤❤❤
Καλημέρα
Καλημέρα
I was so impressed with Noraly weaving her way thru the traffic just as the experienced locals did. No holds bar. Excellent. btw realizing the limitations of your surroundings is not a defeat. Every sensible person can understand. In the pre-internet era, all TV serials came around once a week, and we all waited for eagerly for them. Same with your uploads. God speed.
The Best and most hilarious , of your travels is riding thru bars restaurants entrance ways and peoples houses to store the bike or get her out in the morn...We just love the little storage spots You find
Remember how amazing you are. Having lost my husband this year, your adventures are a wonderful escape for me, even if only for a moment, thank you, ❤
Don’t worry so much about uploading. Your journey is yours and we’re just along for the ride. Besides, the more fun you have, the more enjoyable the videos will be for the rest of us anyway!
I am itching for another itchy boots episode
Take all the time. Go gently at your own pace dear Noraly. Thank you. Shalom aleichem ✌🤍🙏🕊
Noraly, I admire your ability to know and do exactly what's right for you - putting your needs ahead of a YT channel. Aside from all the planning, filming/editing technicalities, taking care of Alaska's mechanical state is a priority for your safety and security. Too many content creators become slaves to social media, and the apathy/fatigue shows. You're found the realistic healthy balance. Less is more, which keeps your energy fresh, and makes your content so appealing. Loyal followers will always wait regardless ...
Wishing you a deserved rest, and success as you prepare for the next leg. Looking forward to seeing you and Alaska again soon. Blessings always! 💜
So far it's astonishing how you drove long treacherous distances, and also posted vlogs simultaneously. You don't need to push yourself too much, but also enjoy your stay at various locations, and take it easy. You're a brave woman.
You rock sister I am glad you are taking a break. We will miss you. Time to wash your gear catch up and go for it again. Because of you we are planning a epic charity ride through south Africa with 40 people and only hope we get all 40...even if we don't we will do all we can to still ride it even if its a small group. God speed sister and see you in two weeks time or so op de buis.
I for one can totally see that you need a break and have a lot to deal with when your in another country or continent. we will be back have no fear. I for one am hooked on your videos. seeing places where I have never been or imagined.
Stay safe Noraly, rest up and prepare for the next leg of your adventure. We’ll all be here when you’re ready to begin the second leg of your Africa safari.
❤❤❤❤❤❤Greetings from Algeria, Peace be upon you. We miss you on the way to safety. You are a beautiful woman in heart and face
just great Noraly I love watching your adventures and tell everyone I know about you.
" not much in this video", on the contrary, you showed us a lot !! Your channel is not just about driving around the world on two wheels but its also about those inconveniences people may experience or encounter in the course of their travels... well, of course, we are worried sometimes of your safety, especially when you are plagued with " fixers" when you do "border crossing" ..
Thank you so much for this video and all the other videos....You are such an amazing lady...You take care !!
Noraly, I am so glad you are taking time to rest, prepare and recharge. The amount of work and quality you put towards your videos is most definitely un-matched and we apprechiate you so much for it! Thank you for everything and see you when you are ready, we will be here.
Enjoy your break Noraly! We'll miss you, stay safe! Really enjoying this season (as all the previous ones as well!).
we will miss you Norally, from Morocco with love 🚴♀🚴♂🚴
Noraly...I love you as do all your subscribers. I was very concerned for you and I am happy you will take a much deserved break. Take care, Geoff from SW Mexico
Quality over quantity. Don't think of us, rather do it for you, what ever time it takes. I just enjoy you sharing your life's journey with us. Safe travels!
The real adventure...the traffic jam!!!😂😂😂
Bravo Noraly for what you did !!✋😔🤚
👍😎🇫🇷🏁
Howdy IB! I have your shopping list that you should carry always..1-hairbrush. 2- mirrors for Alaska. 3- chain guards for same.3- more Ahmed’s and Rogers for angels! What a show! Be safe ,saddle up and ride on!
PLEASE capture some audio of the train whistles. One of the most memorable things about my time in Dakar. Might need to be out in the suburbs to hear them well. Also, go float in the pink lake.
You go, girl! (I was so sad to miss you by just a few hours at Valley of Fire NV and then again at Moab UT. Would love to have shook your hand.)
We’ll wait! Take your time and take care of YOU and Alaska!!🤗😊
I don't like riding in traffic but watching you in Dakar, I realized that I should never complain. But you're a world-class pro! By the way, your choice of music for the traffic was perfect. I think everyone understands the need for a break, however, keep in mind that some us Itchy Boots addicts will be experiencing withdrawal symptoms until you return. :)
Don't worry, just rest and put everything in order. We will always be here waiting for you.
As previous subscribers have said before: take all the time you need to rest and recover, you've got a steady fanbase and the ones that have followed you since the start will continue to do so. I bet you could even cut an episode or two and come out with "only" one or two episodes a week and we'll be even more stoked about your adventures! Have a great "vacation" and see you on the road :)
Noraly, don't worry about the channel - we'll always be here whenever you have a new episode to stream. Take care of yourself & Alaska, enjoy your well earned rest & a break from the incessant pressure that you put on yourself for our benefit. Stay healthy, strong & happy - you are an inspiration for us all.
I hope you are doing well Noraly, your silence got me worried, I wish you the best.
You're brilliant! I don't know how you do it! Enjoy your rest! We'll be waiting for you 😊
Hello Noraly, i greatly appreciate your videos. You take us around the world, to places I'll probably never step on my entire life. Your willingness to share your experiences with us is something i do not take for granted. I hope you don't ever feel the pressure to produce because there's an audience here waiting. Yes we do have the expectations but i personally fully understand when that is not possible. You absolutely need a break , so take a rest and as much time as you need to prepare. It's difficult to imagine the toll those long trips take on you. Finally, i really really hope you're coming to East Africa after you're done with West Africa 😂🙏🙏🙏you have a fan here in Kenya 🇰🇪🇰🇪
I am glad you are independent enough to do what you like on your schedule and still have enough sense ALONG with your drive is so rare a combination that it deserves a shout out! Your fans are not so easily distracted that you taking a break could lose us. Do what you need to do M'lady, and we will be here when you return. We WILL miss you in the mean time so don't dally too much!
Nicely done! R & R IS DEFINITELY DESERVED! I am so enjoying this series!
I'm new to your channel but not new to riding a motorcycle in West Africa, although that was 45 years ago. As soon as you hit the Mauritania-Senegal border it got very familiar, and I really enjoyed your ride into Dakar. Laughed out loud, in fact. I'm binge-watching to get to Nigeria, where I lived, and then catch up to you where you are now (DRC). The video titles don't actually surprise me, although I know you pick the craziest moment to highlight. Happy to be along for the ride! Oh, and I'm also watching in memory of a friend and fellow one-time motorcycle mama who was enjoying your videos until she died of ALS recently. RIP Alleson; you can watch with me, or be a guardian angel for Noraly - she may need it!
Your output in recent weeks has been phenominal. I was wondering how you could keep it up! Have a week or two off and we'll see you when you're ready, Noraly.
Heute hatte ich den Eindruck, dass der Verkehr in Indien gegenüber dem in Dakar blankes Zucker schlecken war. Schön, dass sie endlich mal aussprechen, wie schwierig es für sie, als Allein-Reisende ist, die ganze Tour logistisch zu managen und nebenher die vielen Videos zu produzieren. Sich einzugestehen, dass man seine Grenze der Belastbarkeit erreicht hat, ist kein Zeichen der Schwäche, vielmehr zeigt es ihre Stärke. Und dafür bewundere ich sie. Danke für die schöne Reise.
