For real … I mean the stories I hear alone then traveling unless I’m fully Armed and skilled but with that I will still want to have at least a crew of five to travel with
@@russkle2042 lol I don’t think this is about that … Africans treat white differently and besides that we know ourselves…just like the same way if you go to a foreign land that you have no idea of… because you might have a good perception of the people you would likely do certain things because of what believe and how perceive the people there especially if you believe the people are welcoming to your race
Hi Noraly, I’m watching all your episodes in a non-chronological way, but you know what …. it doesn’t make a difference because every episode is an adventure on it’s own! You are so amazing, humble and open-minded and showing respect to everyone you encounter, even if they treat you not fair all the time. But because you show how you are, you have, or better you get, a lot of respect back! Also I admire the way you are enjoying your trip all by yourself and your resilience and humour are beyond the normal standards! Thank you again for sharing all the beautiful moments of your trip through Africa!! 🙏🏼
Noraly, you are so brave. The interaction with the person who wanted to take your camera would have spooked me. Instead you remained calm and courteous. Your winning smile softens hearts of the most arrogant. You are amazing. Be safe.
I can't find the words for you and your amazing spirit towards all mankind. ❤ I have done my share of Solo backpacking in Europe and the Middle East and northern africa where you started this journey over the last 5 years. Just enough to appreciate how special you are. Oh, to join you for a day or two would be an honor. Bill in the US.
no creo señora haya sido arrogante, sino que esta haciendo su trabajo, nada mas se dijo sobre ese control y pq pidió la cámara, hay que respetar la autoridad de otros paises.
How many times have we seen Noraly get in some situations that make us Nervous and Worried about her safety. In the end Her cheerful and outgoing personality always prevails saves the day!
hi Noraly, short ride but an interesting day….The lady with the fruit shop was so sweet, reminded me of my mother in fact. I got the feeling the guy in the red shirt was in charge at the checkpoint. That looked a bit scary. They were just like the military everywhere really. Turned out they were pretty professional. You handled that well as usual mate. That was some lovely waterfall. And cheers to the great people and beautiful countryside of Togo. jakg
Nothing hostile there. The military guys were doing their job. If an Isis-looking person was traveling through the country side of the US, the cops would definitely stop him and ask vital questions including scanning through his camera for security purposes.
As tense as the interaction with the military men was, the highlight of the video was her discussion with the lady in the wheelchair. Noraly has such a gentle soul.
I love the dress that lady was wearing too, such beautiful colours. Sometimes a simple conversation with someone can brighten anyone's day, we should all try to do that wherever we are :)
Noraly is completely at the mercy of people wherever she goes (she's certainly not helpless, but she is only one person), and so many of us care for her, but can do nothing to help from our seats (the only comfort is, the event happened about a month ago, and the video is up, so we know she is ok). So....stay safe, Noraly!
@goodman4093 because on one episode a while back, someone said that they knew about a certain tree that Noraly visited (the Cotton Tree, maybe?) was now gone, so she must have seen it just before it blew down, approximately a month before the video was released. Also, Noraly herself says she delays them to help prevent people from tracking and following her (she said this during her interview in England in July, I believe). Fame has its costs.
@@ZackaryMac yeah ABR said she confirmed last minute she can come and be a speaker, and a few weeks later we saw videos about her waiting for parts in Abidjan for 10 days, so I'm guessing that was when that happened, big break in travelling + in a relatively big hub.
Amazing Video, As a togolese, very sorry for this incident with the military, " They did not even know that the insta 360 is a camera and they mistakenly thought the GPS tablet is a video recorder" What they were afraid of was finally done. Happy to realize at the end that, this did not affect your day.. Keep it up!!!
Yep, I'm glad they gave her back her camera, I can't understand what they were thinking...creates a bad impression of Togo and Africa...I'm glad our military in South Africa respect tourist....🇿🇦
I don't think they thought the tablet was a camera, I believe they thought it was connected to the camera and wanted her to show them the camera's content though the tablet.
Wonder what is so secret in that country for them to want to scrutinize content of her camera? It's pure bullying and makes them feel important and through that demonstrating their ignorance and lack of intellect.
Breathtaking views on the ride through the mountains and the stunning drone shots could not be spoiled by the scary stop by the military. The beautiful waterfall was well worth the hike. We learn so much from you Itchy Boots, thank you!
Thank you Noraly. Amazing journey also includes interaction with people from all walks of life. Her calm cooperation with the security checkpoint turned out well. She shows us that when traveling the world you have to be respectful of other folks countries and local norms. We all have to admit that what she is doing is extremely rare. I can see how a security check point would find it difficult to believe.
Heart stopping moment with those military guys. Thank goodness you got your camera back. Other than that incident, Togo is a beautiful country. Fabulous drone footage! 👌
@@holmes1956O whether they're real military or just thugs, believe me in that situation you're at their mercy. I've traveled overland through Africa and been in highly stressful situations with several armed guys surrounding our vehicle - you're immediately intimidated. Been asked for ridiculous bribes etc, outright. Although you're at their mercy, you still need to keep your head, be cordial and do as they ask in order to drive away safely. It's tricky as hell and super stressful. Noraly did really well.
Having a gun and wearing camo doesn't make you a military man. Militaristic yes, military no. Scary stuff! I will never forgive you, Noraly, if something terrible happens to you...Please stay safe. Love you!
Itchy boots! How I wish I had itchy boots like hers. I doff my hat for this lady, she’s so bold, brave, courageous and undaunted. Hope to meet her one day to tap into her source of inspiration. May the Lord God watch over and keep her cheerful. 😊❤🎉. Bravo!.
In fact, a situation like that could also end up with one suddenly finding oneself in a prison or in a security cell and being mistaken for maybe some “spy” or something like that. But this could of course also happen somewhere else.
@@aris1956 that can happen anywhere in the world depending on the circumstances, it can happen even in Canada or America if you where filming the police putting down a demonstration. In Mauii Island in Hawaii, police stopped cars fleeing fire areas,and disrupted aid workers from helping civilians, Google it .horrible things happen ALL over the world if you look deeply enough.
Beautiful natural scenery. Intimidating military. Helpful roadside vendors. The guide was a good idea. Thanks for sharing. As always, God be with you. Having the ability to continue your journey through the adversities you've faced, we thank God for answered prayers. Amen. Love, from Central Valley California USA
I had never seen an ounce of frustration in Noraly's face before, no matter how harsh or dangerous the situation. But when that man took her camera from her hands. Wow! But she knew how to control her frustration and kept her cool. That's how our hero handles what the world throws at her. Chill Out and Ride On! The hike to the waterfall was awesome. I see that the tropical countries in Africa, are very similar to the ones in South America. The fauna and flora look very much alike. Beautiful!
I was really worried for your safety when that guy grabbed your camera, it was the way he ripped it from your hand, it looked like a nasty situation, and the look on your face told me you were also worried. I'm glad it ended well and you got your camera back and you were unharmed. You have a lot of balls for a lady, be safe.
THAT was a scary moment....your camera and GPS almost confiscated.....but well done Noraly for staying calm throughout the encounter.....a non confrontational approach is always the best policy !! Waterfall was magnificent......you are truly blessed Noraly !
Lots of youtube creators claim to "go off the beaten path". Don't think anybody does it quite like Itchy Boots, and the result is truly exceptional content.
Thanks for been sooo patient with the camera issue... You're a SUPER HERO. I really appreciate the way you've been able to handle that situation with care and maturity. Have you seen the "STAR" within the Togolese Flag??? That's exactly what you are next to me. M. World. ,❤❤💪🏿💪🏿❤❤👊🏿👊🏿
Very good, Noraly. I'm sure you already know this, but it needs to be said: your attractiveness is not just physical. You are smart, resilient, strong and very brave. Thanks for being such a good inspiration.
I can see that Noraly is an experienced traveller especially in tough places to travel, she keeps all opinions and negative comments on security issues to herself, because she knows her camera can always be used against her in such places, we look forward to the days of stress free travel in Africa.
@@Torres-tw3ic *_ NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN, EVER.... As a person living in Africa my whole life that when you give a "Local" either a uniform or a machine gun they BECOME THE LAW as opposed to REPRESENT THE LAW! _*
@selassietetevie4966 *_ NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN, EVER.... As a person living in Africa my whole life that when you give a "Local" either a uniform or a machine gun they BECOME THE LAW as opposed to REPRESENT THE LAW! _*
What an intense episode! The camera near-confiscation had me holding my breath, thankfully the Insta 360 went unnoticed. The drone's view of the Togo mountains was breathtaking, and the waterfall hike was pure wanderlust.
My first thought when Noraly switched to the launch of the drone was to show the policemen they can't contain her and she wanted us to forget the negative and continue to see the beauty!
Love watching this lady and her exploits. Learning more about each country that she passes through and the people. Learning more than what the television nature programmes show. Absolutely amazing.
OMG! I was holding my breath when they stopped you and demanded your camera. The fact there were so many men, surrounding you, and getting closer to you, had me holding my breath. I am so thankful they realized you meant no harm and allowed you to leave safely. The country side and people you have been meeting have been absolutely beautiful and so pleasant. Prayers for your continued safe jouney.
@@JanMorsø I thought that was everyone else. Didn't they all just volunteer to stay at home and wear a nappy on their face for over a year, then get pricked with toxic depop juice.
Don't be discouraged by the military action. How you behave and didn't talk about it is very professional. It's part of the experience...... 🇬🇭. Keep on...🎉
Hello Noraly and Itchy Boots Community. First congratulations to Noraly for this journey and thanks for the sharing. I am a togolese myself and was nervous about encouters with Togo security/border/customs officers as I realized Noraly was heading toward my country... reports of them being unfriendly, unprofessional and even intimidating are common, unfortunately... The people themselves should mostly be kind and friendly though, just like Victory in this episode... I wish Noraly less (no more) such bad encounters throughout Togo! Congrats again! Cheers!
I'll cry if I think about the time it will take me to see all those beutiful places on my own. And also for those who will never have the fortune or the guts to go out there and wander like our fellow traveller here. big respect for being so brave.
@@ntakirutimanavalens4412 I never meant to offend you and I never meant that Africa is a bad place it's just dangerous in certain parts , Africa is infact one of the most beautiful and richest continents which the white came n plundered and enslaved them. I'm Indian British came took our shit and left after 100 years .
Oh my goodness, some very tense moments with the military men. Thank heavens our Noraly kept her cool and prevailed. The drone footage shows the glorious shades of green of the jungle forrest and the waterfall proves to be a great find. GO ITCHY BOOTS, GO ... 🏍🏍🏍
As an African hailing from East Africa, specifically Kenyan, who is addicted to your channel, this is so exotic and raw. I would have sworn that places like this do not exist. Thank you! @itchy boots. Also there is something relaxing with the way you talk, approach people, and your spirit. It's a bliss. Good luck in your safari, creating these gems for us!
Great video Noraly! Thank you for sharing it with us. I must say, I haven't seen you that concerned since you and Alaska were crossing the river in that little basket. So glad you got your gear back!! Blessings to you my friend!!
Your adventure continues to amaze me. You rock! I have hiked in the mountains of equatorial Africa. Your video brought back many found memories. Thanks.
Noraly has given me a tour of what life is outside my world. An hr 30 mins of seeing 4 of your videos seems like I've been through many places. Thanks, Noraly for showing me the beauty of a part of Togo. You're amazing! Love from Los, Nigeria.
Many men wouldn't have the balls to travel straight into danger zone but you're filled with adventures enthusiasm, you've proved without a doubt that you're unstoppable👍, admiring you all the way from the other side of the world near the land down.
oh Noraly, Must have been a stressful moment there, but you stayed calm and respectful and it got sorted out. Another example of why you are the BEST travel vlogger on the Planet! RESPECT! Best Wishes 💖🏍🤠
Itchy Boots…biker and hiker extraordinaire!! And filming at the same time!! What an awesome trail for hiking except for the creepy crawlers!! EEK!! WOW! What an experience today! Totally awesome totally worth it! The camera scene with the military was so unexpected. Glad it was ok. Always cringe when rain is coming and she’s riding a dirt road..that rest stop was perfect!! Always a joy to watch your videos, Noraly! Cheers from Texas USA❤❤
Nice comment. I shouldn't have been surprised, but Google the definition of Noraly. "God is my Light" or "Light of God". She shines the light brightly for the world. Peace!
I really love your videos. As an African i have only been to three countries and this makes me appreciate the beauty of this continent. On the side i apologize for the bad treatment you get at our border points. I am sorry about that. But please remember the beauty and kindness of the good people you meet.
I think under the circumstances you kept remarkably calm. It was definitely the right way to handle the situation you were in. Many people would have gotten extremely angry in that situation. It also looked very intimidating . It was a shame because everyone else was really nice.
I can't get over how not afraid of heights Noraly is. I could not have walked up that steep wall towards that waterfall. Noraly so brave. I was also afraid that she wouldn't get her camera back. Glad it worked out well. Love this trek
@@mickymidnight1 Quite! That wouldn't have been me. I smiled at how quickly that guide walked ahead of her. "His job was only to show her where it was and how to go back." 🤭🤫
Maybe no one told her abt Africa she shud take it easy cos even we African here can’t du dat if I where her I will neva remove my helmet and I will not go alone the grace of the lord be with her and white race that race will forever be ahead of blacks
It has got not nothing to do being a female. It is worse for a black man on his own. Being a white woman is an advantage. Even in Africa where tend to protect foreigner compared to europeans who each black man as a threat
It's greatly appreciated the amount of effort that goes into your quest to show your viewers the sites, and attractions on your journeys. Beautiful waterfall.
I am travelling Australia alone in my off road caravan , but to watch your videos is a high point in my day. I never cease to be amazed at your exploits. You are truly a very remarkable lady. May you always be safe in your journey. Jerry
If it was me, I would’ve wanted to leave the country and not give any of my tourist dollars to the country that had police that tried to bully and intimidate me (they were incredibly intimidating) you, as we all know, are a better person than I and I’m glad I get to travel with you thank you again Noraly
Whoa. I held my breath, my eyes wide and got nervous for you. The waterfall was beautiful and I’ll bet that climbing down the shear rock part of the trail was ~challenging. Wishing you well on your amazing journey
That was a tense moment, I thought you were going to lose you gopro. I love the fact that they had no idea that the 360 camera was still filming them. Victori was a sweet lady and even with your broken french you managed to communicate well. The uphill hike to the waterfall was worth the effort I'm sure you would agree.
Togo military men shows uneducated act partcularly knew nothing in social media utube.whats wrong wid that.completely need study and seminars for those.guys. how shamemingly u are..phillippines 19:24 😮😮😮
The military details had no idea there was another cam filming them taking away the other cam! And so on went the filming without a break. Genius stuff.
We never know how we will handle stressful interactions, but you always do so well in responding and not just reacting to them. And it was very kind of the guy in the red shirt to come over and help translate. Always nice to have a “friend” around in those situations. Also, I hope Victori did not lose too many of her peanuts during that storm ⛈️
I followed you from your journeys in Central America to now you keep meeting wonderful people everywhere you go so few sketchy moments I’m amazed at how you go from mega stress to euphoria within minutes great videos thank you Noraly
The drone view - between the misty mountains, winding dirt trail and dramatic music, I could easily picture an elf army on the move down there. Lovely conversation on the rain-sheltered porch! Wow - I didn't know cacao pods grew right from the trunk. That was some hike to the waterfall. Glad you had both hands free for the scramble back down again. Another riveting episode with confiscated camera suspense in the middle!
Tropical fruits like Jackfruit, Soursop (Guanabana), Cacao and many others bear from the trunk and side of major branches. Trinidad & Tobago. West Indies.
Again you’re an incredibly brave woman. I totally admire your bubbly personality and respect your courage. You’re really doing a great jo job. May God be with you always
I was so nervous when they took your camera,you are totally helpless and dependant on THEIR GOOD WILL! I'm thankful it worked out for you. Prayers for continued safe travels!!! ML&R
Your drone footage seems to just get better and better. You've really become a master at making interesting videos. Thanks for taking the time to make the adventure fun for everyone.
Noraly, what a fright. I'm Mozambican and I always follow you here. On my own behalf and on behalf of Africans in general, we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused by our military brothers in Togo. Best wishes for continued excellent experiences. Cheers!
Viva Moçambique, a área controladas por rebels e não são seguras but some people here are pushing it off like is something normal. Africa is a peaceful place, few bad apples thou.
Noraly is a very brave and extraordinary woman, she stays calm in all difficult and almost unsolvable situations, I am impressed, stay safe and warm welcome from Ukraine, thank you for showing us so beautiful places where not every person will ever be able to come )
Security force or Insecurity force... Hmmm... It's a curious place that Noraly finds herself, the remains of a kingdom under continuous pressure from zealots and the like. Still, there are such good people who want to share the wonder of our world by exhibiting their part of it. Thanks Noraly, for offering these good people the opportunity. We are all more knowledgeable with what you've shared. Ride safe. Greg 🇨🇦
The most beautiful continent on the planet for sure!! The unspoiled beauty that I pray will last forever, but I fear it will not. Thank you Noraly for bringing this incredible footage to us!! I pray to see this myself someday!!
All I can say is how brave you are . Seeing those military men surround you like that was making me so so nervous but you handled it so well with your calmness I pray you will always be safe along your journey That waterfall was worth seeing 👍🏻👍🏻
Vielen Dank für die erstklassigen Aufnahmen der Berg-Welt von Togo. Um diese Erfahrung beneide ich dich sehr. Die Szene mit der Frau im Rollstuhl hat mich tief berührt.
hi, sister, I can feel how you feel emotions when they catch you, but at the end, they hand over your GoPro you show a smile that movement was kicking through in my heart.. God bless you many love from my side z green rider♥
Hey Noraly, I'm glad you got your camera back and the man on the motorcycle at the gas station just pulling right next to you, How rude. I love the waterfall and the drone shots are beautiful. Prayers Flying for safe travels
Like always: Infotainment of highest quality🙏. Seems like her smile, eyes, and optimism seem to be covered by a thick layer of teflon - nothing can ever stick for long time....💪🤘

Congrats, you've been brainwashed by western media.
Thats the dutch People. Known for exploring and travelling. From centuries they do it. Not afraid of anything

The hike to the waterfall was awesome. I see that the tropical countries in Africa, are very similar to the ones in South America. The fauna and flora look very much alike. Beautiful!
I was really worried for your safety when that guy grabbed your camera, it was the way he ripped it from your hand, it looked like a nasty situation, and the look on your face told me you were also worried. I'm glad it ended well and you got your camera back and you were unharmed. You have a lot of balls for a lady, be safe.
very rude of that guy who took your camera very rude stay safe Noraly good luck on your travels.
He just wanted to see the next episode of Noraly before we get to see it ;-)

THAT was a scary moment....your camera and GPS almost confiscated.....but well done Noraly for staying calm throughout the encounter.....a non confrontational approach is always the best policy !! Waterfall was magnificent......you are truly blessed Noraly !
Exactly
Noraly handled the situation very well!
Some tense moments for sure but you're one cool cucumber Noraly . You're showing us how beautiful the country is at every turn .
Lots of youtube creators claim to "go off the beaten path". Don't think anybody does it quite like Itchy Boots, and the result is truly exceptional content.
Thanks for been sooo patient with the camera issue... You're a SUPER HERO. I really appreciate the way you've been able to handle that situation with care and maturity. Have you seen the "STAR" within the Togolese Flag??? That's exactly what you are next to me. M. World. ,❤❤💪🏿💪🏿❤❤👊🏿👊🏿
Very good, Noraly. I'm sure you already know this, but it needs to be said: your attractiveness is not just physical. You are smart, resilient, strong and very brave. Thanks for being such a good inspiration.
For men and women....can learn a lot from her from her travelling
I can see that Noraly is an experienced traveller especially in tough places to travel, she keeps all opinions and negative comments on security issues to herself, because she knows her camera can always be used against her in such places, we look forward to the days of stress free travel in Africa.
Smart.
our grand grand grandchildren may live in those days.

What an intense episode! The camera near-confiscation had me holding my breath, thankfully the Insta 360 went unnoticed. The drone's view of the Togo mountains was breathtaking, and the waterfall hike was pure wanderlust.
Well said. And Indeed it was intense!
My first thought when Noraly switched to the launch of the drone was to show the policemen they can't contain her and she wanted us to forget the negative and continue to see the beauty!
And the GoPro near her left hand as well lol
Love watching this lady and her exploits. Learning more about each country that she passes through and the people. Learning more than what the television nature programmes show. Absolutely amazing.
انت امراة شجاعة و مغامرة تستحقين التشجيع 😍
OMG! I was holding my breath when they stopped you and demanded your camera. The fact there were so many men, surrounding you, and getting closer to you, had me holding my breath. I am so thankful they realized you meant no harm and allowed you to leave safely. The country side and people you have been meeting have been absolutely beautiful and so pleasant. Prayers for your continued safe jouney.
At least they didn't ask her to marry them.
@@davidmende4438 LOL!! Like all the others were doing! HA--HA-HA! She sure got a lot of offers of proposals.
Sometimes the best (and safest) way to visit some of the exotic places is through the lens of Noraly's camera .
Agreed. I would have been shot by now. Not that I would deserve it either, just my luck with hostile territory.
👍👍
If you always want to feel safe, i have a padded cell for you. You will be fed three times daily and you will never feel unsafe again.
@@TwoFingeredMamma is that where you type your _fascinating_ opinions from?
@@JanMorsø I thought that was everyone else. Didn't they all just volunteer to stay at home and wear a nappy on their face for over a year, then get pricked with toxic depop juice.
It goes well and good for thousands of times i hope it will not go completly wrong one time this women is a gem
Even in such an unclear situation you stay calm and still go on filming! You're not only a skilled person, you're a cool lady too! 👍
Don't be discouraged by the military action. How you behave and didn't talk about it is very professional. It's part of the experience...... 🇬🇭. Keep on...🎉
Hello Noraly and Itchy Boots Community.
First congratulations to Noraly for this journey and thanks for the sharing.
I am a togolese myself and was nervous about encouters with Togo security/border/customs officers as I realized Noraly was heading toward my country... reports of them being unfriendly, unprofessional and even intimidating are common, unfortunately...
The people themselves should mostly be kind and friendly though, just like Victory in this episode...
I wish Noraly less (no more) such bad encounters throughout Togo!
Congrats again!
Cheers!
Can you tell us what the officers were saying?
I’d love a translation of what they were saying.
I'll cry if I think about the time it will take me to see all those beutiful places on my own. And also for those who will never have the fortune or the guts to go out there and wander like our fellow traveller here. big respect for being so brave.
How awesome is this?! Incredible! Thanks Noraly for taking us along!❤😊
Noraly you've got more balls than most guys (including me)going through Africa by yourself, I really salute and admire your perseverance
@@ntakirutimanavalens4412 I never meant to offend you and I never meant that Africa is a bad place it's just dangerous in certain parts , Africa is infact one of the most beautiful and richest continents which the white came n plundered and enslaved them. I'm Indian British came took our shit and left after 100 years .
yeah really makes me angry. I'll never go there. @@ntakirutimanavalens4412
@@ntakirutimanavalens4412Well said. "Extended values"...
It´s cose...She has beautifull blue eyes! :O)
YOU TOOK THE WORDS OUT OF MY MOUTH LOL. GOD BLESS HER.
Oh my goodness, some very tense moments with the military men. Thank heavens our Noraly kept her cool and prevailed. The drone footage shows the glorious shades of green of the jungle forrest and the waterfall proves to be a great find.
GO ITCHY BOOTS, GO ... 🏍🏍🏍
As an African hailing from East Africa, specifically Kenyan, who is addicted to your channel, this is so exotic and raw. I would have sworn that places like this do not exist. Thank you! @itchy boots. Also there is something relaxing with the way you talk, approach people, and your spirit. It's a bliss. Good luck in your safari, creating these gems for us!
wow Hi
🇦🇺
@@evah787 Hi Ever
Wow, happy to hear from my fellow Kenyan❤❤❤
Great video Noraly! Thank you for sharing it with us. I must say, I haven't seen you that concerned since you and Alaska were crossing the river in that little basket. So glad you got your gear back!! Blessings to you my friend!!
Your adventure continues to amaze me. You rock! I have hiked in the mountains of equatorial Africa. Your video brought back many found memories. Thanks.
Noraly has given me a tour of what life is outside my world. An hr 30 mins of seeing 4 of your videos seems like I've been through many places. Thanks, Noraly for showing me the beauty of a part of Togo. You're amazing! Love from Los, Nigeria.
Many men wouldn't have the balls to travel straight into danger zone but you're filled with adventures enthusiasm, you've proved without a doubt that you're unstoppable👍, admiring you all the way from the other side of the world near the land down.
oh Noraly, Must have been a stressful moment there, but you stayed calm and respectful and it got sorted out. Another example of why you are the BEST travel vlogger on the Planet!
RESPECT! Best Wishes 💖🏍🤠
Itchy Boots…biker and hiker extraordinaire!! And filming at the same time!! What an awesome trail for hiking except for the creepy crawlers!! EEK!! WOW! What an experience today! Totally awesome totally worth it! The camera scene with the military was so unexpected. Glad it was ok. Always cringe when rain is coming and she’s riding a dirt road..that rest stop was perfect!! Always a joy to watch your videos, Noraly! Cheers from Texas USA❤❤
You are a women with wisdom and strength. God has given you the guide and protection. So safe travel all over the world.
Nice comment. I shouldn't have been surprised, but Google the definition of Noraly. "God is my Light" or "Light of God". She shines the light brightly for the world. Peace!
I really love your videos. As an African i have only been to three countries and this makes me appreciate the beauty of this continent. On the side i apologize for the bad treatment you get at our border points. I am sorry about that. But please remember the beauty and kindness of the good people you meet.
Wow, how intimidating was that stop by the military ! Glad it worked out okay. Beautiful scenery to placate you. 👍
Our Africa is very beautiful naturally. The landscape, terrain is breathtaking!!
I think under the circumstances you kept remarkably calm. It was definitely the right way to handle the situation you were in. Many people would have gotten extremely angry in that situation. It also looked very intimidating . It was a shame because everyone else was really nice.
This Noraly has a beautiful soul the way she handles pressure.
I can't get over how not afraid of heights Noraly is. I could not have walked up that steep wall towards that waterfall. Noraly so brave.
I was also afraid that she wouldn't get her camera back. Glad it worked out well. Love this trek
It looked a bit dodgy getting up there..... getting back down would have concerned even a more
@@mickymidnight1 Quite! That wouldn't have been me. I smiled at how quickly that guide walked ahead of her. "His job was only to show her where it was and how to go back." 🤭🤫
I give it to you lady, you have balls doing what you are doing on your own as a female. Huge respect!!
yeah till something happens then shes a victim fine line
she does have balls!
Maybe no one told her abt Africa she shud take it easy cos even we African here can’t du dat if I where her I will neva remove my helmet and I will not go alone the grace of the lord be with her and white race that race will forever be ahead of blacks
she is ballless bro 😜 that's why she don't scare of anything.
It has got not nothing to do being a female. It is worse for a black man on his own. Being a white woman is an advantage. Even in Africa where tend to protect foreigner compared to europeans who each black man as a threat
It's greatly appreciated the amount of effort that goes into your quest to show your viewers the sites, and attractions on your journeys. Beautiful waterfall.
Since yesterday my young sister sent this channel,i can't stop watching it,Noraly are you amazing,be protect by blood of Jesus
It was good that you had a guide to the waterfall. It was well worth the hike to experience such beauty. This is the beauty of Africa up close.
I am travelling Australia alone in my off road caravan , but to watch your videos is a high point in my day. I never cease to be amazed at your exploits. You are truly a very remarkable lady. May you always be safe in your journey. Jerry
What is your channel id like to see Australia
Son passage au Maroc est incroyable
Easily the biggest adventurer on TH-cam 😱
Stay safe & keep showing us what is possible Noraly.
If it was me, I would’ve wanted to leave the country and not give any of my tourist dollars to the country that had police that tried to bully and intimidate me (they were incredibly intimidating) you, as we all know, are a better person than I and I’m glad I get to travel with you thank you again Noraly
Don't worry about military they are doing their Orally knows this thats why she didn't add anything.
Whoa. I held my breath, my eyes wide and got nervous for you. The waterfall was beautiful and I’ll bet that climbing down the shear rock part of the trail was ~challenging. Wishing you well on your amazing journey
The fact that there is a video shows everything went well
@@kidgforce1 I agree, that’s how I felt it ended OK - however, it still seemed like a dicey situation
That was a tense moment, I thought you were going to lose you gopro. I love the fact that they had no idea that the 360 camera was still filming them. Victori was a sweet lady and even with your broken french you managed to communicate well. The uphill hike to the waterfall was worth the effort I'm sure you would agree.
Well said 👏
Togo military men shows uneducated act partcularly knew nothing in social media utube.whats wrong wid that.completely need study and seminars for those.guys. how shamemingly u are..phillippines 19:24 😮😮😮
The military details had no idea there was another cam filming them taking away the other cam! And so on went the filming without a break. Genius stuff.
I'm South African, I always wanted to see Zambia, through your videos I feel like I know it❤❤
We never know how we will handle stressful interactions, but you always do so well in responding and not just reacting to them. And it was very kind of the guy in the red shirt to come over and help translate. Always nice to have a “friend” around in those situations. Also, I hope Victori did not lose too many of her peanuts during that storm ⛈️
Well said 👏
I followed you from your journeys in Central America to now you keep meeting wonderful people everywhere you go so few sketchy moments I’m amazed at how you go from mega stress to euphoria within minutes great videos thank you Noraly
The drone view - between the misty mountains, winding dirt trail and dramatic music, I could easily picture an elf army on the move down there. Lovely conversation on the rain-sheltered porch! Wow - I didn't know cacao pods grew right from the trunk. That was some hike to the waterfall. Glad you had both hands free for the scramble back down again. Another riveting episode with confiscated camera suspense in the middle!
Tropical fruits like Jackfruit, Soursop (Guanabana), Cacao and many others bear from the trunk and side of major branches.
Trinidad & Tobago.
West Indies.
Again you’re an incredibly brave woman. I totally admire your bubbly personality and respect your courage. You’re really doing a great jo job. May God be with you always
I was so nervous when they took your camera,you are totally helpless and dependant on THEIR GOOD WILL! I'm thankful it worked out for you. Prayers for continued safe travels!!! ML&R
не перестаю восхищаться вами. вы очень смелая девушка!!!
More stunning scenery! I love seeing the Togo Mountains, your drone shots are awesome! And Noraly, you were champion handling those military bullies!!
Watching a video like this shows that we the right leadership no child should sleep hungry in Africa
Your drone footage seems to just get better and better. You've really become a master at making interesting videos. Thanks for taking the time to make the adventure fun for everyone.
You handled the men with guns situation like a pro. And that drone pull back shot at 16:28 was beautiful, so was the waterfall.
Noraly, what a fright. I'm Mozambican and I always follow you here. On my own behalf and on behalf of Africans in general, we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused by our military brothers in Togo. Best wishes for continued excellent experiences. Cheers!
Nothing to apologized here
Togo immigration are always like this because of the dictatorship there
Ya, no need to pull it off her hand like that ..she is not armed nor an enemy.
this guys no brothers
No need to apologize. a-holes are everywhere. It's quite dramatic to try and apologize on behalf of a whole continent 😅
Viva Moçambique, a área controladas por rebels e não são seguras but some people here are pushing it off like is something normal. Africa is a peaceful place, few bad apples thou.
Noraly is a very brave and extraordinary woman, she stays calm in all difficult and almost unsolvable situations, I am impressed, stay safe and warm welcome from Ukraine, thank you for showing us so beautiful places where not every person will ever be able to come )
Hi Noraly. Of course I'm concerned for your safety. Much turmoil is happening in the great continent of Africa. I'll say a extra prayer.🙏✌️♥️🗽
I dont think prayers will help.
Its becoming more and more dangerous.
Dont go further.
I think these are taped and Noraly is in Holland doing whatever people in Holland do
Noraly must not have just an angel on her shoulder as she does these videos. She must have an entire legion of them! 😇🙏
@@XiLi-o4fTaped a few days or a week at most. She was warned about Niger ongoing conflict by the money changers a few episodes ago
Wow, the waterfall was worth the long sketchy hike. Glad you got your camera back! Happy trails.
Security force or Insecurity force...
Hmmm...
It's a curious place that Noraly finds herself, the remains of a kingdom under continuous pressure from zealots and the like.
Still, there are such good people who want to share the wonder of our world by exhibiting their part of it. Thanks Noraly, for offering these good people the opportunity. We are all more knowledgeable with what you've shared.
Ride safe.

É preciso muita coragem para percorrer a África Central, parabéns e abraços do Brasil!
The most beautiful continent on the planet for sure!! The unspoiled beauty that I pray will last forever, but I fear it will not. Thank you Noraly for bringing this incredible footage to us!! I pray to see this myself someday!!
wow i also hope so, we can't wait to have in africa
All I can say is how brave you are . Seeing those military men surround you like that was making me so so nervous but you handled it so well with your calmness
I pray you will always be safe along your journey
That waterfall was worth seeing 👍🏻👍🏻
Vielen Dank für die erstklassigen Aufnahmen der Berg-Welt von Togo. Um diese Erfahrung beneide ich dich sehr. Die Szene mit der Frau im Rollstuhl hat mich tief berührt.
Mir auch, die Frau hat da bestimmt kein leichtes Leben und hatte bestimmt ein Wenig Freude mit dir.
hi, sister, I can feel how you feel emotions when they catch you, but at the end, they hand over your GoPro you show a smile that movement was kicking through in my heart.. God bless you many love from my side z green rider♥
Hey Noraly, I'm glad you got your camera back and the man on the motorcycle at the gas station just pulling right next to you, How rude. I love the waterfall and the drone shots are beautiful. Prayers Flying for safe travels
I agree...very rude...cross a border and the attitude of people seems to change....
Like always: Infotainment of highest quality🙏. Seems like her smile, eyes, and optimism seem to be covered by a thick layer of teflon - nothing can ever stick for long time....💪🤘
Thanks for another adventure Noraly. You’re the best!
This lady is a warrior princess. Great footages always
