It's funny how people with so little can be so generous and (seemingly) happy, yet rich folks here in the west can be so suspicious of strangers (i.e. what does that stranger really want from me??) and unhappy because they always (seemingly) want more. Yes, quite the lesson!
That village where you stayed for the night will be talking about you for years to come, a story that will be handed down from father to son, mother to daughter years to come, what an amazing gesture.
Noraly l been following your adventures for quite a while. You have to be a very happy and lucky person. I am amazed by the number of good people the you have come to know. Thank you for bringing me along with you and your adventures. Makes my world much bigger. THANK YOU AND STAY SAFE! ❤
Nothing makes me a proud African like the level of hospitality among the people. We are incredible. As long as one can communicate, you are never lost in Africa. Keep going Noraly.
You have just made history with this video.I was born in NOLA, this is the first time ever I see a video of the RCA about something else than war.Thank you,you're truly a Legend a great being and you for sure have God with you.
What Noraly is showing through her Africa episodes is that the western media 's portrayal of Africa and its people are all wrong. The general population is kind and treat foreigners with respect. Sure there are street gangs and rebels running around but they are not the majority. It also show where people have very little material worth but they have good spirits. I salute the people of Africa.
People aren't poor either. They are rich and live a basic life. I never knew we were poor until later in life where I had the opportunity to compare our lives with others. We grew up walking barefoot, and it was very normal 😂
Thank you so much for all these faces of Africa! I'm so looking forward to every new episode!! My heard is with you when thinking of all the effords you make to carry us all througt Africa .... what great impressions of land and people!! So heartwarming villagers .... drive save and god bless you!
When the world gets to be too much and I feel myself starting lose hope, I turn to these videos of Noraly's adventures and immediately start to feel better. It's a combination of her courage, her joy, and her ability to handle all of her adversities with a smile, along with the beauty of the places that she goes to, and the smiles and kindness of the people she meets. It helps me to keep believing in humanity and that this life was meant to be filled with joy and wonder. She is doing such a public service for all of us, and I am very grateful for it!
Absolutely this video made me smile and I watched it twice- shared far and wide. Humanity has a chance if most people are like these lovely people. We are One ❤.
What I appreciate most about you is not just the fact that you travel across different countries but also how you make an effort to blend with everyone, indulging in their street food and respecting their culture. You consistently strive to showcase the positive and happy aspects of people, even in challenging environments. Your choice of accommodations reflects the true essence of the people. Even if you spend the night in a comfortable place, you choose not to highlight it as it doesn't accurately represent the reality of the people. By the way, I'm from Cameroon, and I love how you presented my country. ❤❤❤
"You are safe with us." --That's what the man in the village told Noraly. That's a clear sign of an advanced civilization. Such empathy does not come from religion, education, or wealth. It comes only from lived experience, from humanity. That man sensed Noraly's apprehension and quickly assured her without any prompting. Humanity cannot be taught, only lived.
If you attribute the good to humanity then you must also do the same to the bad. Unfortunately the bad greatly outweighs the good. We have the potential for both good and bad but we choose the bad because humanity at its core is lost, selfish and corrupt. Myself included
@@vp4744 I didn’t say there was anything bad in the video. You watched the video and extrapolated an idea to the general human experience that such empathy is not religion but from humanity and lived experience. I countered and said that if you think that humanity is the source for empathy then you have to apply the same to the evil in the world. You removed religion as the foundation of their empathy and kindness and replaced it with humanity so ok in that case humanity is the cause of both good and evil then. If you doubt that there is evil in general then you must either be willfully ignorant or sheltered and naive. If you’re the later then I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news but the world is filled with much evil.
Thank you Norally. My sincere gratitude is the positive contribution you make in terms of communicating Africa to the world. Africa has been badly presented for centuries. Compare the treatment meted to Africans when they arrive a countryside neighborhood in Europe as a stranger and the welcome and hospitality you received in that village. The contrast is so wide. I’m glad you confirmed it’s an experience you are not going to forget. You are literally impacting the whole world with your great energy. Please make the episodes more frequently. You are a great daughter of Africa because you carry our beautiful Spirit in you.
@@frankozomah583 They didn’t come as lone tourists but brutal well armed traders with colonial intentions, yet our ancestors didn’t confront them aggressively. They were welcomed and listened to; and in the process they presented their own religion which made sense. Africans all over as our Norally is showing the world are hospitable to strangers
Noraly is passing through. You cannot compare the complexity of arrivals who come in large numbers to settle in foreign lands. Noraly is independent, respectful and financial. She contributes to those along the way who step up to help her. She pays her way. I'm uncomfortable saying this as we know most people from the African continent are good people as are Europeans. Countries affected by resettlers are bending over backwards to find solutions. Not all will be happy with the results.
Thank you Noraly for debunking all the fears and wild stories about Africa and Africans. This is definitely a better perspective, thanks again, Noraly!
This is my country ! I'm glad that you passed by Central African Republic to show to the world that, there're just not only war that happen here. The video did a lot of good to my Mom and my grandma who watched the video with me. I knew that you were going to go see the Elephant and maybe the Gorilla if you can catch there at the right time. By the way, when you here "Wali" that's mean "Woman" they were saying that a lot, especially when you crossed the second river.
Saw your comment - i just had to say that you must be SO PROUD to see this. Our world has everything backwards - these are the rich in my opinion. It's so great that your country and your neighbors are being shared with the world to let us all know what amazingly beautiful and wonderful places these are. Peace to you from Los Angeles! :)
This was one of the best episodes on this Africa series! I had no idea Central African Republic was so stunning, and the people you met were all so friendly and joyful! Thank you so much for bringing this knowledge to us!
CAR looks like a place I could linger. The people make it that way. Going to a village with a mosque means they will offer you the traveler hospitality as it is written many times in the Quran.
Being African, especially from Somaliland, I've always heard negative things about these other African nations. Thankfully, after watching your videos, I've learned that these negative things are untrue. What surprised me the most, though, was how friendly and helpful the people are to you, even though it's just you traveling through all these jungles. the kindness of the people, who don't have much to offer but try their best to look after their visitors. I appreciate you teaching so many people, including myself, about how lovely Africa is and how, in contrast to how the media portrays us Africans, Africans are warm and hospitable. Keep yourself protected and attend to your needs. Hopefully, a large number of elephants and other creatures will be visible to you. You have gained a new admirer and subscriber today. I hope you have an amazing adventure.
I am quite widely traveled myself and have come in contact with people from your country and adjoining areas like Ethiopia etc and it seems you folks generally view us your African brother/sisters from the other side with a healthy dose of suspicion; I wonder if it is a cultural thing. Anyway, it's good you are having a change a change of heart.
Everywhere I have gone in the world, uninformed people have told me that other countries are dangerous. Apparently this extends to an unrecognized de-facto state in the Horn of Africa region as well! Get out and see the world. Just go! I have had so many incredible experiences when traveling, and only very few bad ones. Hope to meet you in Somaliland one day. :)
You might not know this, but you have just created inspiration to all those kids. Some memory they will always remember and make a history tell. That will start like this: When I was young came around a white woman driving a motorcycle, that was as huge as an elephant and full packed with lots of bags.
She has no idea of the level of inspiration she has left behind. Girls will be looking up to her as a role model while boys will remain challenged to cross borders as succeed, Kudos Noraly and welcome to Kenya too.
As an African you have experienced more of Africa than myself.Thank you for the love and patience you have with our motherland and its people.Hope to see you pass through Kenya.
As a teen in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) I was fortunate enough to be close friends with the African villagers a mile from where I lived. A number of times they fed me and allowed me to stay overnight in one of their huts. Sadly, my father was a different person when drinking whisky and to avoid certain bodily harm I headed for the village. I loved Africa and its people then and still do to this day. It saddens me the people have to endure poverty, corruption and conflict.
I think the scene starting at about 3:16 is really THE representation of what this channel is all about. Those kind people looking on in wonder at Noraly and her motorcycle...not realizing that later, tens and even hundreds of thousands will be watching them with the same wonder. Thank you Noraly for giving us a view into these places and the lives of people all over the world.
I knew the kids would run after the bike as soon as it started moving. We use to run after cars when I was little…❤️❤️❤️Its such an African kid thing to do😂❤
Noraly thank you for showing the incredible diversity in this world. Showing us that you shouldn’t fear or hate people simply because they don’t share your same skin color.🍀🌍
This episode should be tagged for all high school and college classes world wide, where the African Culture is presented and discussed. I nominate you for World Ambassador to the United Nations with what you have shown us over the last few years especially now. Really enjoyed this episode. Thank you very much for sharing this. Hope your bowl of grubs delicacy tasted better than they looked.
I'll bet you are all wondering ..why noraly falls ..there is almost no way to stay up without support. That's why you see the local people with feet like skis..
@@michaeldg1324 Me 3! Just when we think she can't outdo herself and we've seen the most incredible video ever, she raises the bar again. Noraly can be compared to no one. The real Wonder Woman. Peace!
Big Hugs, Love and Blessings to All the 596 inhabitants of beautiful Nabondo l village in the Central African republic. Their 2 Chiefs were very Kind and Hospitable. So many other good helpful Soul's along the way.....absolutely amazing! from Scotland UK ❤ 🏴
Noraly, you are now in the true HEART of Africa, immerse yourself in the culture, the people, the bush. This is the heartbeat where you lose yourself and it gets into your bloodstream. I am African born and bred. Talking about word getting around quickly is called “bush telegraph”. These days we tie an aerial onto the tail of a warthog! 😉 Be blessed all 👋👋👋
The drone scene with jungle to the horizon just blew my mind. Anything moving there looks minuscule, even a brave woman on a tough motorcycle. Awesome!
I watched that part with a giant lump in my throat and tears in my eyes! Those precious children will be talking about how that lady came to their village and spent time with them, and showed them her motorcycle for the rest of their lives. Things that seem so insignificant to us, are the biggest thing in the world to others. This episode really put a lot of things into perspective for me.
I thought it was just Zimbabweans who are to me the kindest, most hospitable, people on Earth (I may be a little biased though because it is home and Zimbabweans are just awesome), but really it is the whole continent.
Wow, that was the easiest and most efficient river crossing on this journey and maybe easier than any of the previous seasons. Love how the first guy steadied Alaska standing on the edges of the boat wearing SANDALS! Your interaction with the locals in their names and customs gets returned to you in many ways with their help.
Ha!! Yeah, I was sitting here freaking out when I see another one of those overgrown canoes going by in the background with a motorcycle and at least 4 people in it. I literally laughed out loud as I thought this is a common thing for those folks. They probably do that dozens of times a day! Then I thought back to her, crossing the Darain Gap in a similar type of boat, except she was in the ocean!
Noraly I have loved every video from this season! However, this one was particularly special….when the villagers came out to greet you and said, ‘you are safe with us’ it made my heart happy. Everywhere there are good people, the smaller the place, the better they are….of course the way you treat everyone is so exceptional. You are a beacon of light everywhere you go…thank-you for taking me on this adventure with you, it’s just…astounding!
There's no reason to miss an episode in this season. All are awesome 😎,they are so challenging but thank God, Noraly are able to handle them pretty well..
@ladislavsurovcik3129 same for me. I started watching her when she was in Columbia crossing that abandoned skinny train bridge. After that episode, I was hooked and went back to season one and have watched everything she's produced. In my opinion, there isn't a better TH-cam channel than Itchy Boots. I happily support this lady in what she does!!
There's no excuse, even!!1! 🤗 They educate you and improve your mental health, brighten up days and exercise your face muscles to improve your smiles! ☺

I am sincerely grateful for your channel. Your remarkable bravery and courage in facing adversity, coupled with a dedication to showcase the wonderful people of Africa, and break stereotypes, is truly commendable. I feel incredibly fortunate to be part of your adventure, and I express deep gratitude for the hard work you’ve invested in the series. It is absolutely outstanding, and I genuinely hope it receives the recognition you deserve, possibly winning awards.
@@sneat2028So right! Not only do they not have social media they don't NEED social media. They have each other and extend that welcome to complete strangers like Noraly.
The lesson I learn from your videos is that human, whatever their colors, races or nationalities, love each other fundamentally, even if some people try to hide this reality through their bad attitudes. This is why people like me are always hungry for Itchy Boots videos, and I admit that I am never disappointed, because I am always convinced that there is always love buried in the heart of humanity. Let's make this side of us, grow and it's certain that the war will disappear by itself. Thank you dear Africans for showing us this hospitality and true love and you Itchy Boot for highlighting them through your videos.
There should be an award for the most important and kind and generous person on this earth we live on because i dont think i have ever seen a stronger,braver,kinder human being in the world than you Noraly,You light up the world wherever you go.May God keep you safe on your further journeys and we will be following along with you ,and thank you so much for taking us along with you.
Wow! The innocence , helpfulness and curiosity of all the people along this road is so endearing. The village that took you in for the night were such a blessing. Alaska did well on her river crossings too. Really loved these two days.
Only one motorcyclist anywhere gets treated like this and always with a huge smile, Noraly is a true world ambassador with what she does ,....... what friendly people she encounters, it takes a special human to just keep going through all of this .... well done Noraly .... cheers from Australia ....
“You are a strong woman” ….. and he is right, you are! Love the way all the kids were running along with you to say goodbye to you when you were leaving the village! And quite an experience to cross the river twice with Alaska in the boat. My heart opened completely when I saw the drone vid above the endless rainforests …. Wow! It is indeed a piece of paradise where you stayed at the end! Thank you again for showing the true kindness of all the people you met during your trip and to show your determination, kindness, positivity and your warm heartedness! Take care and looking forward to the next episode. Greetings from Nijmegen in the Netherlands!
I say it again and again what wonderful people. Living like we should up with the sun and to bed at dark without complaint and want for everything. Wonderful people with next to nothing but richer than North Americans
Thank you Noraly. I was stressed out due to a job interview I have later today but I stopped to watch this, and my worries wiped away. In the first five minutes of this video, I just thought 'who cares. if I get it, great, and if I don't, that's ok too'. There is more to life than another cubicle job for me. Whats more meaningful are these beautiful interactions with people, and following passions and interests.
The villagers vibes were so pure that I couldn't help but cry tears of joy. It's been a while since I felt this way, but seeing them touched me on a profound level. Always drawn to kind souls, and your videos allowed me to experience the place where modern humans originated, leaving me feeling incredibly blessed. 👍
Thank you for saying the above. You are right! Kind souls everywhere and now we know for sure, never think the media is true and honest. These are magnificent people, their kindness shows in every vlog posted by Noraly! Such a sweet strong person she is!
This is one of my favorites of your African episodes. The kindness of the villagers that sheltered and protected you and enjoyed your stay was beautiful. And finally the place where you ended the episode was amazing.
This is what the peace can be. Your heart accepted that the person coming from the mosque/masjid could be the person or the place where i can stay and feel safe. They were really kind hearted peoples. The Africa is totally different from what the media were showing. I am following your videos, Only the Africa vlogs because its my dream to travel all around the African continent. Love Africa from Afghanistan
One thing I've noticed about your travels..... you ride through places the media describes to the world as terrible, but you show the good side. I think we all need to see both perspectives so we can confirm the world still has good people, and it's not a living hell that TV likes to show. So...thanks for that. :)
You have to remember that 'media' is a for profit business designed to control peoples thoughts. If they can control someone's thoughts and emotions it is easier to have access to people wallets to enrich themselves.
Exactly. What we hear as (western) travel advice is: do NOT travel to Central African Republic as there are huge safety risks and you are likely to get robbed or encounter rebellion violence. And there is Noraly, a white solo travelling female who is treated with a smile and a lot of respect. Such a pity that fear is ruling our media.
@@jadatispeter You said travel advice first then you said media. I can agree about the travel advice being that you have to look that up yourself online. I never hear any media here in the US talking about Central African Republic. The media here very rarely covers anything in regards to Africa. I bet if you ask any Africans living in the US where do they go to get news on Africa they most definitely won't tell you US media.
@@beaujac311 What I meant is that we (I am from Netherlands, just as Noraly, but probably there is not much difference from the US on this topic) don’t get any news from those countries unless it is bad news. Strengthening the ‘don’t go there, dangerous!’ message. But you are right, travel advice is usually government or public health organisation related.
As a person who lived in Europe and got to travel to 29 countries so far , I still love seeing the beauty& friendliness of people everywhere. It's the first thing I tell people....how nice humans in general are, second the beauty of the world❤️ I love your videos🇨🇦😊
I am in awe. This lady has more courage than I could ever muster. Just when you do not think it can get any tougher, it does, but she always keeps calm with a sense of humour. It is also heartening to see how many good people there are in this world, always willing to help.
Proud to be an African seeing the way the villagers help and welcome you, Noraly. Thank you for presenting positive attitudes all the way. Every stop for the night is beautiful, as lowly as they were. Again, I wish you a safe trip on your way
Just loved this. Humanity survives and thrives because of the kindness and generosity of regular folks. These are the things that we should be uplifting and prioritizing. Spotlight what we share, not what separates us.
I am amazed at how beautiful the African landscape and it's people are. Noraly, you probably don't realize right now how much of a positive impact you're making on the people you meet. People coming from miles to see the Caucasian female moto rider. What an honor to sleep in the Chiefs house. At my age and health the only way im going to see this part of the world is through your lense. It warms my soul to see how many good people there are in the world. Here in the USA Muslims aren't always portrayed as good people yet time and time again i hear how it's Muslims that rescued someone including my own Yank brother in Malaysia. He was robbed in Kuala Lumpur and left with nothing including the loss of his passport. Our embassy, our Christian brothers and the authorities didn't help him, two Muslim men gave him food, water and shelter until he could obtain a temporary passport. God Bless you Noraly and im looking forward to your future videos. 💙🙏
This episode had me crying with tears of hope for humanity. The kindness of all African people is the way humans are. In the west we have been corrupted by the government systems. They turn us against each other with lies of lack, consumerism and capitalism. Look to Africa for the way we all should live. In harmony with the land in simplicity. Love your channel. Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
People are people; there is also amazing kindness in the west and unimaginable brutality in Africa. Slavery still exists there long after eliminated in the West.
Thank you to the people of Central African Republic for all your hospitality and helping Noraly. Such amazing spirit of the people; beautiful humanity.
Unfortunately these innocent people are under western sanctions, Reasons being that terrorists that where used by the NATO let coalition that toppled Qaddafi in Libya invaded these country(Central African republic, Chad, Burkinaffaso, Mali, Niger etc) and the leader of this country decided to seek help from Russia in order to fight the terrorists that where causing genocide in these innocent villages, unfortunately France that refused to help and was the main actor against Qaddafi in Libya called on her NATO allies to sanction this country and they did. The good people of the western world need to know both sides of these problems.
As an African the treatment you got is nothing strange as we are usually a very kind and welcoming people. This was the vulnerability the colonizers exploited. However, I am thankful to you for showing the world True African Spirit as opposed to what the western mass media wants people to belief. Appreciated.
I wouldn't say what the western mass media wants people to believe. I'm an African American and the western media here rarely covers Africa. The media so rarely covers Africa that some of my long held beliefs about Africa are being destroyed during Noraly's travels. Like most people world wide I thought that Africa was just a hot place year round. Most of us automatically believed that wild animals are roaming everywhere. I can't blame the media for that ignorance because I could have found other sources before now to be enlightened. That's why I stay on TH-cam looking at videos of Africa to rid myself of that ignorance.
@ibrahimsalami4014, dear sir, don't worry, many Europeans don't trust the western mass media. Everyone here is convinced that Africans are, for the majority, absolutely nice and generous people. ;-)
I read so much about Central Africa Rep. before you entered and all over they advise of the dangerous of the place and must be avoided, etc.....And it turns out to be so far the safest one. So many kind and generous people around. Lots of smiles and genuine purity of the people coming from the isolation they are facing in jungle......One scene that stand out in this video. When all the villagers came in the morning to see the bike they maintain a respectful distance from the bike. They not even dares to touch it or mounting in without your consent. That speaks volumes about their education and principles. Those sweet memories are gonna stick in your mind forever. The world is beautiful.
The trip through Africa is pure adrenaline, literally living with my heart in my hand while I watch your journey along the muddy and stone roads, hoping you arrive safely at your destination.
What struck me is how we enjoy watching the adventures and how we will not forget them, but everyone who meets Noraly, feels like this. The children of the village which took Noraly in for her safety (the chief said: "you will be safe here") and fed her and kept her safe, will eventually have children of their own and tell them stories about the time a white woman, who was riding her motorbike all by herself, came to stay overnight. How she smiled and laughed. How pale her hair was and how blue her eyes were, and with a wave and a smile, she rode away. The men with their canoes, will remember the lone white woman with the lovely smile, crossed the river in their boat one day. It had never happened before and has never happened since. So as much as we will remember Noraly's adventures, all those she meets will remember Noraly.
😁 And while growing up, the future children of the villagers, when told the story, would think that their parents were just making it up. But then some of them would leave the village and go to college and would come across this video on youtube or whatever might have replaced it and they would realize that their parents were indeed telling the truth.
@PhyllisGlassup2TheBrim What a beautiful description you did of how we all are involved the ones that are there with Noraly that has this opportunity to meet and share the adventure of this sweet and strong white woman with her beautiful blue eyes and from the other side us, the ones who watch and admire all the situation and feel happy how they were so hospital taking good care of this motorider woman alone in this remote villages. Thanks Noraly for making it possible to share with you all this trips with all that this involved. Thankyou very much. ❤️
I’m so glad you were treated well in all the villages. That’s African hospitality. So my question is if an African biker would be riding around the Netherlands like this, would he/she get the same hospitality? If we only learned to love all humans the same, we would be a much better planet. Itchy, your humility through this journey has made me a fan.
Central Africa becomes the centre of warmth and hospitality. Generally, the world is a good place. Noraly is a strong , beautiful soul. Godspeed and good luck.

Stirs my heart, Noraly. People are good, they share what they can. Indeed, rise with the sun and have a great real local coffee. Get stuck in the mud, we'll pull you out. So much going on in this episode to ponder. So many wonderful views, so many beautiful people, so many little encounters demonstrating kindness, curiosity, and thoughtfulness. I appreciate you, Noraly. You don't sensationalize, no propaganda, no agenda, you just let people be who they are and share it with us. This, my online friend, adds much to my life these days. Thank you!
You said this so beautifully. I loved the comment about the elephants from those two gents giving directions, we were so busy with the mud we forgot for Noraly is in Africa with all the animals.
Watching your interactions with the locals is wonderful, all the smiles you create in these small villages is heart warming. You're a great ambassador.
The promise land Africa, Noraly has been to so many places but we all can't deny her channel grew in Africa, she had her best time in Africa, more success came her way in Africa, met most of the nicest people on earth in Africa, .... Thank you for making the world see Africa isn't what they they see in the news, its the Promise Land ❤
The villagers huts. And, everyone so nice to you. The lady doing laundry as the bike comes off the pontoon! Why do we complain? You are showing so much humanity, and you are so humble. Amazing journey.‼️👍‼️
I really like the African music you have selected to accompany your wonderful African motorcycle journeys. You should win some video awards for outstanding documentary presentations of your trips. You are a skilled filmmaker as well as a talented motorcyclist and courageous adventurer.
Norali is teaching us that in life you should fall , stand up and continue with the journey, look at how many challenges she encountered but she still keeps on going I love you so much ❤
Itchy boots!. The greatest solo biker of all time. I have been viewing her videos for the past several months as I, am already in my 80s, have travelled quite a lot, including Nigeria, and the Middle East and there is nobody that can compare with her. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
This episode is excellent. What a surprise the Centreal African Republic brings to humanity. Simple living, generosity, cleanliness and hospitality. Thank you for showing us something of a little known country. Peace.
Noraly I am so glad you took a bit of extra time to share more about your special experience in the village where you arrived just before total darkness. I almost cried the first time when they said you could stay and that you were safe with them. Then when you replayed this clip at the beginning of this video and told the story again at the end, I still felt such warm relief for you. I didn’t realize that I was even that worried for you out there in the remote jungle in the thick, slippery red mud… but I think I have been from my response to your safety. Thankfully, there are so many great and good people in the world! I am glad you have the support and kindness that you need for these adventures that allow me to visit these amazing places through you and your eyes that I would not get to experience otherwise. Thank you!
At 3 minutes when all the kids cheer the young man climbing on the bike! Made me smile! I think that’s why I love this channel, I have missed so much. Noraly thank you for sharing a moment like that!
I got goose bumps watching you navigate the drone as it zoomed away from you sitting at the lodge then turning the camera to show a panorama of that unbelievable vast African rain forest in the Central African Republic. WOW!!!! The interaction with the people of the village and those encountered on the road will be embedded in your memories forever. Best episode yet. Stay safe.
What a lovely community of people. I loved how they said, "you are safe here". The key lesson from watching many travel Vlogs like this is that everywhere in the World there are good and generous people. Sadly media focusses on the tiny minority who are the opposite. Glad you're safe and sound and I love how positive you are even in the most challenging situations.
I lived in Ethiopia and Nigeria for two years each when l was young. My dad was a hydrologist with USAID doing water projects. It was some of the most enjoyable times of my life.The people and country will always be close to my heart. I love your adventures they make me happy! Thanks!

It's incredible how good people all over the world can be. This should be on the news instead of all the bad stuff we hear about all the time.
It's funny how people with so little can be so generous and (seemingly) happy, yet rich folks here in the west can be so suspicious of strangers (i.e. what does that stranger really want from me??) and unhappy because they always (seemingly) want more. Yes, quite the lesson!
Happiness and the pursuit thereof doesn't make the same kind of money fear mongering does.
Doesn't net you control over your constituents either.
Tight on, feel the same way….these videos brings us soooo much, instead of the terrible news.
Nice and friendly don’t sell as much as malice and mayhem .
U have said it all dear
Does Noraly even realize that she has unintentionally created the best show ever in history without a script?!
Fantastic!!!
I think its her research and planning of routes which makes her trips interesting. She is very unique and different !
❤❤❤
Absolutely
😊
I agree...🙌
That village where you stayed for the night will be talking about you for years to come, a story that will be handed down from father to son, mother to daughter years to come, what an amazing gesture.
Humans keep records from generation to generation
I thought so too... It was an exchange... A powerful one... Simply beautiful..
Noraly l been following your adventures for quite a while. You have to be a very happy and lucky person. I am amazed by the number of good people the you have come to know. Thank you for bringing me along with you and your adventures. Makes my world much bigger. THANK YOU AND STAY SAFE! ❤
They will remember and say Dutch people are very kind and loving: good people.
@@eudaenomicYes.. Quite the way perspectives are formed.
Nothing makes me a proud African like the level of hospitality among the people. We are incredible. As long as one can communicate, you are never lost in Africa. Keep going Noraly.
You have just made history with this video.I was born in NOLA, this is the first time ever I see a video of the RCA about something else than war.Thank you,you're truly a Legend a great being and you for sure have God with you.
What Noraly is showing through her Africa episodes is that the western media 's portrayal of Africa and its people are all wrong. The general population is kind and treat foreigners with respect. Sure there are street gangs and rebels running around but they are not the majority. It also show where people have very little material worth but they have good spirits. I salute the people of Africa.
🇿🇦 Greetings from sunny South Africa. We are a continent of hospitable people. North to South.
Sadly your government is becoming increasingly communist.@@ghoo283
People aren't poor either. They are rich and live a basic life. I never knew we were poor until later in life where I had the opportunity to compare our lives with others. We grew up walking barefoot, and it was very normal 😂
Thank you so much for all these faces of Africa! I'm so looking forward to every new episode!! My heard is with you when thinking of all the effords you make to carry us all througt Africa .... what great impressions of land and people!! So heartwarming villagers .... drive save and god bless you!
Noraly is showing us how nice the world can be without the influence of social media and mind manipulating main stream media.
The entire village knew "we have a visitor"😅....i like the way everybody is happy in that village!
Third world countries are so different 😂
What a thing to hear when you are alone, in the dark, in treacherous conditions. “..you are safe with us. “. Great people.
Exactly. They were not only providing a place for her to sleep - they basically ensured that she would be a protected guest. What great hospitality!
When the world gets to be too much and I feel myself starting lose hope, I turn to these videos of Noraly's adventures and immediately start to feel better.
It's a combination of her courage, her joy, and her ability to handle all of her adversities with a smile, along with the beauty of the places that she goes to, and the smiles and kindness of the people she meets.
It helps me to keep believing in humanity and that this life was meant to be filled with joy and wonder.
She is doing such a public service for all of us, and I am very grateful for it!
Absolutely this video made me smile and I watched it twice- shared far and wide. Humanity has a chance if most people are like these lovely people. We are One ❤.
I agree it's heartwarming to view the traveler and the villagers.
I agree with you for 100% and even more!👍🏼
Very nice episode, to see how nice most
people are. T.G
Same....i do that as well....
What I appreciate most about you is not just the fact that you travel across different countries but also how you make an effort to blend with everyone, indulging in their street food and respecting their culture. You consistently strive to showcase the positive and happy aspects of people, even in challenging environments. Your choice of accommodations reflects the true essence of the people. Even if you spend the night in a comfortable place, you choose not to highlight it as it doesn't accurately represent the reality of the people. By the way, I'm from Cameroon, and I love how you presented my country. ❤❤❤
No start button, lost one mirror, no windshield, no problem. Because Noraly+Alaska = The Best!
Alaska is going to need some work on soon, poor girl needs back her parts 😅
All Hail Honda! Really, that bike has gone above and beyond.
She's a hot wire 😅
Yes! Alaska is like a warrior coming from battle!🤺
@@obeahman6286 Absolutly. Bill and Darren, Madu, or Ramdan, get ready to upgrade Alaska again.
The whole village came to say bye bye. That’s sooo heartwarming 🥺❤️❤️🤲🏾🤲🏾
"You are safe with us." --That's what the man in the village told Noraly. That's a clear sign of an advanced civilization. Such empathy does not come from religion, education, or wealth. It comes only from lived experience, from humanity. That man sensed Noraly's apprehension and quickly assured her without any prompting. Humanity cannot be taught, only lived.
Beautyful wice words ✌️
Beautifully put ❤️
If you attribute the good to humanity then you must also do the same to the bad. Unfortunately the bad greatly outweighs the good. We have the potential for both good and bad but we choose the bad because humanity at its core is lost, selfish and corrupt. Myself included
@@jusplay7309 I watched the video to the end and did not see any bad at all. You're projecting your corruption on everyone else, aren't you?
@@vp4744 I didn’t say there was anything bad in the video. You watched the video and extrapolated an idea to the general human experience that such empathy is not religion but from humanity and lived experience. I countered and said that if you think that humanity is the source for empathy then you have to apply the same to the evil in the world. You removed religion as the foundation of their empathy and kindness and replaced it with humanity so ok in that case humanity is the cause of both good and evil then. If you doubt that there is evil in general then you must either be willfully ignorant or sheltered and naive. If you’re the later then I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news but the world is filled with much evil.
Thank you Norally. My sincere gratitude is the positive contribution you make in terms of communicating Africa to the world. Africa has been badly presented for centuries. Compare the treatment meted to Africans when they arrive a countryside neighborhood in Europe as a stranger and the welcome and hospitality you received in that village. The contrast is so wide. I’m glad you confirmed it’s an experience you are not going to forget. You are literally impacting the whole world with your great energy. Please make the episodes more frequently. You are a great daughter of Africa because you carry our beautiful Spirit in you.
You are so right. Sending you love from Norway.
What exactly is the comparison? She is passing through as a lone tourist, you leave in droves to go settle there, big difference.
@@frankozomah583 They didn’t come as lone tourists but brutal well armed traders with colonial intentions, yet our ancestors didn’t confront them aggressively. They were welcomed and listened to; and in the process they presented their own religion which made sense. Africans all over as our Norally is showing the world are hospitable to strangers
African are nice people forigener
Noraly is passing through. You cannot compare the complexity of arrivals who come in large numbers to settle in foreign lands. Noraly is independent, respectful and financial. She contributes to those along the way who step up to help her. She pays her way. I'm uncomfortable saying this as we know most people from the African continent are good people as are Europeans. Countries affected by resettlers are bending over backwards to find solutions. Not all will be happy with the results.
Thank you Noraly for debunking all the fears and wild stories about Africa and Africans. This is definitely a better perspective, thanks again, Noraly!
The story has always been of their legendary kindness, despite negative comments.
Go to southside Chicago at night. Get out of your vehicle and take a little walk. Not all are nice.
Right because African Americans totally share similar cultural norms with people from rural areas on the African continent.
@@shikcheese3234
Very sick or under influence!
Since when is Chicago in Africa?
There aren't enough thumbs-up in the world for that crowd of smiles.
💯
Sim,não há 😌
This is my country ! I'm glad that you passed by Central African Republic to show to the world that, there're just not only war that happen here. The video did a lot of good to my Mom and my grandma who watched the video with me.
I knew that you were going to go see the Elephant and maybe the Gorilla if you can catch there at the right time.
By the way, when you here "Wali" that's mean "Woman" they were saying that a lot, especially when you crossed the second river.
Saw your comment - i just had to say that you must be SO PROUD to see this. Our world has everything backwards - these are the rich in my opinion. It's so great that your country and your neighbors are being shared with the world to let us all know what amazingly beautiful and wonderful places these are. Peace to you from Los Angeles! :)
This was one of the best episodes on this Africa series! I had no idea Central African Republic was so stunning, and the people you met were all so friendly and joyful! Thank you so much for bringing this knowledge to us!
So green and fertile,wow .
CAR looks like a place I could linger. The people make it that way. Going to a village with a mosque means they will offer you the traveler hospitality as it is written many times in the Quran.
Being African, especially from Somaliland, I've always heard negative things about these other African nations. Thankfully, after watching your videos, I've learned that these negative things are untrue. What surprised me the most, though, was how friendly and helpful the people are to you, even though it's just you traveling through all these jungles. the kindness of the people, who don't have much to offer but try their best to look after their visitors. I appreciate you teaching so many people, including myself, about how lovely Africa is and how, in contrast to how the media portrays us Africans, Africans are warm and hospitable.
Keep yourself protected and attend to your needs. Hopefully, a large number of elephants and other creatures will be visible to you. You have gained a new admirer and subscriber today. I hope you have an amazing adventure.
"These other African nations".. Whaoo
This is something that a person who lives in Africa doesn't know how beautiful the people are, it's good that you're seeing this then.
I am quite widely traveled myself and have come in contact with people from your country and adjoining areas like Ethiopia etc and it seems you folks generally view us your African brother/sisters from the other side with a healthy dose of suspicion; I wonder if it is a cultural thing. Anyway, it's good you are having a change a change of heart.
Bro.dont say samaliland say it somalia
Be proud of your country
Everywhere I have gone in the world, uninformed people have told me that other countries are dangerous. Apparently this extends to an unrecognized de-facto state in the Horn of Africa region as well! Get out and see the world. Just go! I have had so many incredible experiences when traveling, and only very few bad ones. Hope to meet you in Somaliland one day. :)
You might not know this, but you have just created inspiration to all those kids.
Some memory they will always remember and make a history tell.
That will start like this:
When I was young came around a white woman driving a motorcycle, that was as huge as an elephant and full packed with lots of bags.
She has no idea of the level of inspiration she has left behind. Girls will be looking up to her as a role model while boys will remain challenged to cross borders as succeed, Kudos Noraly and welcome to Kenya too.
As an African you have experienced more of Africa than myself.Thank you for the love and patience you have with our motherland and its people.Hope to see you pass through Kenya.
really anticipating the east africa trip.
As a teen in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) I was fortunate enough to be close friends with the African villagers a mile from where I lived. A number of times they fed me and allowed me to stay overnight in one of their huts. Sadly, my father was a different person when drinking whisky and to avoid certain bodily harm I headed for the village. I loved Africa and its people then and still do to this day. It saddens me the people have to endure poverty, corruption and conflict.

Still amazed by the Central African hospitality you receive in a remote village. You have to be one of gods special people. ❤
I believe Noraly has a guardian angel working overtime for her! She is protected.
Without question Noraly is truly one of God's chosen people. That's why an angel appears from nowhere whenever she is trouble.
@@americaneclectic
She is a positive person, so God protects her and make her encounter positive people
Honestly, the people are the special ones. Noraly is the one with Western skills, who is showing them to us.😊
Meeting any elephant along the way?
I think the scene starting at about 3:16 is really THE representation of what this channel is all about. Those kind people looking on in wonder at Noraly and her motorcycle...not realizing that later, tens and even hundreds of thousands will be watching them with the same wonder. Thank you Noraly for giving us a view into these places and the lives of people all over the world.
You raise a great reflection point there... so true!
Millions actually
@@Kelly-oq9nh True!
I knew the kids would run after the bike as soon as it started moving. We use to run after cars when I was little…❤️❤️❤️Its such an African kid thing to do😂❤
@@nontobekogloriamlambo9689 yeah imagine the fun back then
Thank you for opening the eyes of your viewers by showing the beauty of Africa and its people!
Words well said/
Noraly thank you for showing the incredible diversity in this world. Showing us that you shouldn’t fear or hate people simply because they don’t share your same skin color.🍀🌍
Exactly 😊
Or same point of view. It is better to try to understand others.
Bam! Skin color, out of nowhere 😂 Bro, why’d u have to fear or hate black ppl? This ain’t colonial times no more
You do know they sell Caucasian body parts as medicine in some villages right? Look it up...@@-Michelin
This episode should be tagged for all high school and college classes world wide, where the African Culture is presented and discussed. I nominate you for World Ambassador to the United Nations with what you have shown us over the last few years especially now. Really enjoyed this episode. Thank you very much for sharing this. Hope your bowl of grubs delicacy tasted better than they looked.
I'll bet you are all wondering ..why noraly falls ..there is almost no way to stay up without support. That's why you see the local people with feet like skis..
Hi. I'm from the north of South Africa. We also eat the Mopani worms and they are indeed a delicacy and very nutritious.
Maybe that’s why a slang word for simple food is “grub” ! A literal description of the situation!

Me too. This episode is addictive 😊
@@michaeldg1324 Me 3! Just when we think she can't outdo herself and we've seen the most incredible video ever, she raises the bar again. Noraly can be compared to no one. The real Wonder Woman. Peace!

Agreed, really friendly they are.
Big Hugs, Love and Blessings to All the 596 inhabitants of beautiful Nabondo l village in the Central African republic.
Their 2 Chiefs were very Kind and Hospitable.
So many other good helpful Soul's along the way.....absolutely amazing!

Noraly, you are now in the true HEART of Africa, immerse yourself in the culture, the people, the bush. This is the heartbeat where you lose yourself and it gets into your bloodstream. I am African born and bred. Talking about word getting around quickly is called “bush telegraph”. These days we tie an aerial onto the tail of a warthog! 😉
Be blessed all 👋👋👋
"Welcome to the Central African Republic!"
What is there more to say.
Such hospitality and friendliness. ❤
The drone scene with jungle to the horizon just blew my mind. Anything moving there looks minuscule, even a brave woman on a tough motorcycle. Awesome!
I LOVE the first few minutes of this video..the people in the village were just so curious and respectful..Noraly you are a great ambassador!!
I watched that part with a giant lump in my throat and tears in my eyes!
Those precious children will be talking about how that lady came to their village and spent time with them, and showed them her motorcycle for the rest of their lives.
Things that seem so insignificant to us, are the biggest thing in the world to others.
This episode really put a lot of things into perspective for me.
so right
As an African I'm very happy that you're showing the world how good hearted people we are, your big fan from Zimbabwe 🇿🇼
Can black people get this same love in Holland no.
Do the black people act the same in Holland? No@@israeljacob314
But play the victim card when they arrive in Europe CRT is poisoning the well.
I thought it was just Zimbabweans who are to me the kindest, most hospitable, people on Earth (I may be a little biased though because it is home and Zimbabweans are just awesome), but really it is the whole continent.
@@israeljacob314yes, if Africa teaches the rest of the world their traditional community spirit, they can.
Wow, that was the easiest and most efficient river crossing on this journey and maybe easier than any of the previous seasons. Love how the first guy steadied Alaska standing on the edges of the boat wearing SANDALS! Your interaction with the locals in their names and customs gets returned to you in many ways with their help.
Ha!! Yeah, I was sitting here freaking out when I see another one of those overgrown canoes going by in the background with a motorcycle and at least 4 people in it.
I literally laughed out loud as I thought this is a common thing for those folks. They probably do that dozens of times a day!
Then I thought back to her, crossing the Darain Gap in a similar type of boat, except she was in the ocean!
The guys sitting on the bikes make it possible. They are able to respond and keep everything balanced. Still, it looked pretty scary to start.
I love the way Africanns are so hospitable,kind and ready to help even strangers
Noraly I have loved every video from this season! However, this one was particularly special….when the villagers came out to greet you and said, ‘you are safe with us’ it made my heart happy. Everywhere there are good people, the smaller the place, the better they are….of course the way you treat everyone is so exceptional. You are a beacon of light everywhere you go…thank-you for taking me on this adventure with you, it’s just…astounding!
There's no reason to miss an episode in this season. All are awesome 😎,they are so challenging but thank God, Noraly are able to handle them pretty well..
I didn´t miss a single episod, since Noraly started her youtube channel. Proud follower 🙂
True
@ladislavsurovcik3129 same for me. I started watching her when she was in Columbia crossing that abandoned skinny train bridge. After that episode, I was hooked and went back to season one and have watched everything she's produced.
In my opinion, there isn't a better TH-cam channel than Itchy Boots. I happily support this lady in what she does!!
There's no excuse, even!!1! 🤗 They educate you and improve your mental health, brighten up days and exercise your face muscles to improve your smiles! ☺
Africans are by nature very hospitable and they like visitors
Bless the whole village giving you a send off. That’s an amazing community.
Yeh, felled a tear there too.
Am from Kenya African these are our people.. Am so proud of them
Brought a tear to my eye seeing how friendly the locals all are.
Along with the beautiful African vibes

I feel incredibly fortunate to be part of your adventure, and I express deep gratitude for the hard work you’ve invested in the series. It is absolutely outstanding, and I genuinely hope it receives the recognition you deserve, possibly winning awards.
It’s the people with the least that offer the most, everything is gratefully received, thank you 🙏
All of the graciousness and hospitality from the villagers would make me want to hug everyone. They treated Noraly and Alaska like they were famous.
Then again Noraly and Alaska ARE famous.
@@kmer1975....yet, these villagers don't use social media. They haven't a clue who she is.
@@sneat2028So right! Not only do they not have social media they don't NEED social media. They have each other and extend that welcome to complete strangers like Noraly.
This was one of the best episodes of Noraly; what a beautiful and kind world we live in. She has shown joy and hope to the world.
The lesson I learn from your videos is that human, whatever their colors, races or nationalities, love each other fundamentally, even if some people try to hide this reality through their bad attitudes. This is why people like me are always hungry for Itchy Boots videos, and I admit that I am never disappointed, because I am always convinced that there is always love buried in the heart of humanity. Let's make this side of us, grow and it's certain that the war will disappear by itself. Thank you dear Africans for showing us this hospitality and true love and you Itchy Boot for highlighting them through your videos.
There should be an award for the most important and kind and generous person on this earth we live on because i dont think i have ever seen a stronger,braver,kinder human being in the world than you Noraly,You light up the world wherever you go.May God keep you safe on your further journeys and we will be following along with you ,and thank you so much for taking us along with you.
Wow! The innocence , helpfulness and curiosity of all the people along this road is so endearing. The village that took you in for the night were such a blessing. Alaska did well on her river crossings too. Really loved these two days.
Only one motorcyclist anywhere gets treated like this and always with a huge smile, Noraly is a true world ambassador with what she does ,....... what friendly people she encounters, it takes a special human to just keep going through all of this .... well done Noraly .... cheers from Australia ....
“You are a strong woman” ….. and he is right, you are! Love the way all the kids were running along with you to say goodbye to you when you were leaving the village! And quite an experience to cross the river twice with Alaska in the boat. My heart opened completely when I saw the drone vid above the endless rainforests …. Wow! It is indeed a piece of paradise where you stayed at the end! Thank you again for showing the true kindness of all the people you met during your trip and to show your determination, kindness, positivity and your warm heartedness! Take care and looking forward to the next episode. Greetings from Nijmegen in the Netherlands!
It takes an entire village to say goodbye to Noraly!
Nakakahanga si ma'am noraly
I say it again and again what wonderful people. Living like we should up with the sun and to bed at dark without complaint and want for everything. Wonderful people with next to nothing but richer than North Americans
Thank you Noraly. I was stressed out due to a job interview I have later today but I stopped to watch this, and my worries wiped away. In the first five minutes of this video, I just thought 'who cares. if I get it, great, and if I don't, that's ok too'. There is more to life than another cubicle job for me. Whats more meaningful are these beautiful interactions with people, and following passions and interests.
lol also in the exact same situation. had a job interview yesterday. hope everything went well.
@@Throttle_Wrist_Adventures haha that’s great, same to you!
Mala. Lovely comment. 🐿️🍃
did you get the job??? :)
I love how respectful and appreciative you are Noraly. It’s beautiful to see the world through your eyes.
100% agree with you
The villagers vibes were so pure that I couldn't help but cry tears of joy. It's been a while since I felt this way, but seeing them touched me on a profound level. Always drawn to kind souls, and your videos allowed me to experience the place where modern humans originated, leaving me feeling incredibly blessed. 👍
Thank you for saying the above. You are right! Kind souls everywhere and now we know for sure, never think the media is true and honest. These are magnificent people, their kindness shows in every vlog posted by Noraly! Such a sweet strong person she is!
Well said! I struggled to find the right words.
This is one of my favorites of your African episodes. The kindness of the villagers that sheltered and protected you and enjoyed your stay was beautiful. And finally the place where you ended the episode was amazing.
This is what the peace can be. Your heart accepted that the person coming from the mosque/masjid could be the person or the place where i can stay and feel safe. They were really kind hearted peoples.
The Africa is totally different from what the media were showing.
I am following your videos, Only the Africa vlogs because its my dream to travel all around the African continent.
Love Africa from Afghanistan
One thing I've noticed about your travels..... you ride through places the media describes to the world as terrible, but you show the good side. I think we all need to see both perspectives so we can confirm the world still has good people, and it's not a living hell that TV likes to show. So...thanks for that. :)
I never see these places in the media. I think the media gets too much credit for covering Africa when in reality they rarely do.
You have to remember that 'media' is a for profit business designed to control peoples thoughts. If they can control someone's thoughts and emotions it is easier to have access to people wallets to enrich themselves.
Exactly. What we hear as (western) travel advice is: do NOT travel to Central African Republic as there are huge safety risks and you are likely to get robbed or encounter rebellion violence. And there is Noraly, a white solo travelling female who is treated with a smile and a lot of respect. Such a pity that fear is ruling our media.
@@jadatispeter You said travel advice first then you said media. I can agree about the travel advice being that you have to look that up yourself online. I never hear any media here in the US talking about Central African Republic. The media here very rarely covers anything in regards to Africa. I bet if you ask any Africans living in the US where do they go to get news on Africa they most definitely won't tell you US media.
@@beaujac311 What I meant is that we (I am from Netherlands, just as Noraly, but probably there is not much difference from the US on this topic) don’t get any news from those countries unless it is bad news. Strengthening the ‘don’t go there, dangerous!’ message. But you are right, travel advice is usually government or public health organisation related.
As a person who lived in Europe and got to travel to 29 countries so far , I still love seeing the beauty& friendliness of people everywhere. It's the first thing I tell people....how nice humans in general are, second the beauty of the world❤️
I love your videos🇨🇦😊
I am in awe. This lady has more courage than I could ever muster. Just when you do not think it can get any tougher, it does, but she always keeps calm with a sense of humour. It is also heartening to see how many good people there are in this world, always willing to help.
Total respect to Noraly on how she interfaces with the local people, a quite special skill that serves her well.
Proud to be an African seeing the way the villagers help and welcome you, Noraly. Thank you for presenting positive attitudes all the way. Every stop for the night is beautiful, as lowly as they were. Again, I wish you a safe trip on your way
Just loved this. Humanity survives and thrives because of the kindness and generosity of regular folks. These are the things that we should be uplifting and prioritizing. Spotlight what we share, not what separates us.
I am amazed at how beautiful the African landscape and it's people are. Noraly, you probably don't realize right now how much of a positive impact you're making on the people you meet. People coming from miles to see the Caucasian female moto rider. What an honor to sleep in the Chiefs house. At my age and health the only way im going to see this part of the world is through your lense. It warms my soul to see how many good people there are in the world. Here in the USA Muslims aren't always portrayed as good people yet time and time again i hear how it's Muslims that rescued someone including my own Yank brother in Malaysia. He was robbed in Kuala Lumpur and left with nothing including the loss of his passport. Our embassy, our Christian brothers and the authorities didn't help him, two Muslim men gave him food, water and shelter until he could obtain a temporary passport.
God Bless you Noraly and im looking forward to your future videos. 💙🙏
This episode had me crying with tears of hope for humanity. The kindness of all African people is the way humans are. In the west we have been corrupted by the government systems. They turn us against each other with lies of lack, consumerism and capitalism. Look to Africa for the way we all should live. In harmony with the land in simplicity. Love your channel. Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
We call it UBUNTU❤
People are people; there is also amazing kindness in the west and unimaginable brutality in Africa. Slavery still exists there long after eliminated in the West.
Thank you to the people of Central African Republic for all your hospitality and helping Noraly. Such amazing spirit of the people; beautiful humanity.
Unfortunately these innocent people are under western sanctions, Reasons being that terrorists that where used by the NATO let coalition that toppled Qaddafi in Libya invaded these country(Central African republic, Chad, Burkinaffaso, Mali, Niger etc) and the leader of this country decided to seek help from Russia in order to fight the terrorists that where causing genocide in these innocent villages, unfortunately France that refused to help and was the main actor against Qaddafi in Libya called on her NATO allies to sanction this country and they did. The good people of the western world need to know both sides of these problems.
As an African the treatment you got is nothing strange as we are usually a very kind and welcoming people. This was the vulnerability the colonizers exploited. However, I am thankful to you for showing the world True African Spirit as opposed to what the western mass media wants people to belief. Appreciated.
Exceptionally magnificent people! So happy we all get to see the beauty in such a vast country, truly outstanding!
I wouldn't say what the western mass media wants people to believe. I'm an African American and the western media here rarely covers Africa. The media so rarely covers Africa that some of my long held beliefs about Africa are being destroyed during Noraly's travels. Like most people world wide I thought that Africa was just a hot place year round. Most of us automatically believed that wild animals are roaming everywhere. I can't blame the media for that ignorance because I could have found other sources before now to be enlightened. That's why I stay on TH-cam looking at videos of Africa to rid myself of that ignorance.
@ibrahimsalami4014, dear sir, don't worry, many Europeans don't trust the western mass media. Everyone here is convinced that Africans are, for the majority, absolutely nice and generous people. ;-)
Thank you. After all the misery suffered upon people the True African Spirit endures. Peace be with you.
We in America don't believe anything that is on the news anymore. They have been hijacked and now are leftist extremists.
I read so much about Central Africa Rep. before you entered and all over they advise of the dangerous of the place and must be avoided, etc.....And it turns out to be so far the safest one. So many kind and generous people around. Lots of smiles and genuine purity of the people coming from the isolation they are facing in jungle......One scene that stand out in this video. When all the villagers came in the morning to see the bike they maintain a respectful distance from the bike. They not even dares to touch it or mounting in without your consent. That speaks volumes about their education and principles. Those sweet memories are gonna stick in your mind forever. The world is beautiful.
3:39 I really love this so much. That’s the difference when you watch Noraly. You won’t find this anywhere else. Beautiful people inside and out.
The trip through Africa is pure adrenaline, literally living with my heart in my hand while I watch your journey along the muddy and stone roads, hoping you arrive safely at your destination.
It makes me so happy you gave the village a donation since their hospitality was so great!
What struck me is how we enjoy watching the adventures and how we will not forget them, but everyone who meets Noraly, feels like this. The children of the village which took Noraly in for her safety (the chief said: "you will be safe here") and fed her and kept her safe, will eventually have children of their own and tell them stories about the time a white woman, who was riding her motorbike all by herself, came to stay overnight. How she smiled and laughed. How pale her hair was and how blue her eyes were, and with a wave and a smile, she rode away.
The men with their canoes, will remember the lone white woman with the lovely smile, crossed the river in their boat one day. It had never happened before and has never happened since.
So as much as we will remember Noraly's adventures, all those she meets will remember Noraly.

Looks like I'm reading a pocket book through your comments.
Maybe you are an excellent writer 😊. Have a good day.
😁 And while growing up, the future children of the villagers, when told the story, would think that their parents were just making it up. But then some of them would leave the village and go to college and would come across this video on youtube or whatever might have replaced it and they would realize that their parents were indeed telling the truth.

What a beautiful description you did of how we all are involved the ones that are there with Noraly that has this opportunity to meet and share the adventure of this sweet and strong white woman with her beautiful blue eyes and from the other side us, the ones who watch and admire all the situation and feel happy how they were so hospital taking good care of this motorider woman alone in this remote villages.
Thanks Noraly for making it possible to share with you all this trips with all that this involved.
Thankyou very much.
❤️
Exactly true!!!❤
Pozdrav iz Njemacke.❤🌹🌹🌹💕
I’m so glad you were treated well in all the villages. That’s African hospitality. So my question is if an African biker would be riding around the Netherlands like this, would he/she get the same hospitality? If we only learned to love all humans the same, we would be a much better planet. Itchy, your humility through this journey has made me a fan.
Great Question
... and no answers!🤔
Lol, what do you expect them to do😂 these villages are so rural and it's rare to see a white woman on a bike so often not the other way around.
Not to say there are no beautiful human beings in that part of the world, but the chances for such hospitality is - 0
many people ride bikes here
Central Africa becomes the centre of warmth and hospitality. Generally, the world is a good place. Noraly is a strong , beautiful soul. Godspeed and good luck.
Stirs my heart, Noraly. People are good, they share what they can. Indeed, rise with the sun and have a great real local coffee. Get stuck in the mud, we'll pull you out. So much going on in this episode to ponder. So many wonderful views, so many beautiful people, so many little encounters demonstrating kindness, curiosity, and thoughtfulness. I appreciate you, Noraly. You don't sensationalize, no propaganda, no agenda, you just let people be who they are and share it with us. This, my online friend, adds much to my life these days. Thank you!
You said this so beautifully. I loved the comment about the elephants from those two gents giving directions, we were so busy with the mud we forgot for Noraly is in Africa with all the animals.
You and that Honda … AMAZING …. THANK YOU ,
Thank you, Noraly, for showing a beautiful side of Africa, the welcoming smiles, and always ready to help. Enjoy Africa!
Yeah.. Once you're only passing through.
"Beautiful"
@@Kitiwakeand what happen when not passing?
Welcoming smiles and all that nonsense is what got them enslaved in the first place.
Watching your interactions with the locals is wonderful, all the smiles you create in these small villages is heart warming. You're a great ambassador.
The promise land Africa, Noraly has been to so many places but we all can't deny her channel grew in Africa, she had her best time in Africa, more success came her way in Africa, met most of the nicest people on earth in Africa, .... Thank you for making the world see Africa isn't what they they see in the news, its the Promise Land ❤
Itchy Boots, you are the true definition of resilience and Alaska is the queen of the jungle.
A Brave girl with a Golden heart you are amazing 🖤
The villagers huts. And, everyone so nice to you. The lady doing laundry as the bike comes off the pontoon! Why do we complain? You are showing so much humanity, and you are so humble. Amazing journey.‼️👍‼️
I know I can speak for everyone here; we loved that village ❤
I really like the African music you have selected to accompany your wonderful African motorcycle journeys. You should win some video awards for outstanding documentary presentations of your trips. You are a skilled filmmaker as well as a talented motorcyclist and courageous adventurer.
The only channel my Dutch wife will sit and watch together with me. Thank you itchy boots
Norali is teaching us that in life you should fall , stand up and continue with the journey, look at how many challenges she encountered but she still keeps on going
I love you so much ❤
Itchy boots!. The greatest solo biker of all time. I have been viewing her videos for the past several months as I, am already in my 80s, have travelled quite a lot, including Nigeria, and the Middle East and there is nobody that can compare with her. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Ever heard of Emilio Scotto?
This episode is excellent. What a surprise the Centreal African Republic brings to humanity. Simple living, generosity, cleanliness and hospitality. Thank you for showing us something of a little known country. Peace.
she was very lucky to have good people surround her even in the jungle of nowhere. she deserved to be the ambassador of peace.
This is truly the most positive entertainment to watch in these times. This is what I call real ‘Reality TV’! Thank You!!!
Noraly I am so glad you took a bit of extra time to share more about your special experience in the village where you arrived just before total darkness. I almost cried the first time when they said you could stay and that you were safe with them. Then when you replayed this clip at the beginning of this video and told the story again at the end, I still felt such warm relief for you. I didn’t realize that I was even that worried for you out there in the remote jungle in the thick, slippery red mud… but I think I have been from my response to your safety. Thankfully, there are so many great and good people in the world! I am glad you have the support and kindness that you need for these adventures that allow me to visit these amazing places through you and your eyes that I would not get to experience otherwise. Thank you!
Thé jungle is safest place in the world
African people are amazingly kind & helpful ❤️😍 Beautiful children 🫶🏽😃💛
At 3 minutes when all the kids cheer the young man climbing on the bike! Made me smile! I think that’s why I love this channel, I have missed so much. Noraly thank you for sharing a moment like that!
I got goose bumps watching you navigate the drone as it zoomed away from you sitting at the lodge then turning the camera to show a panorama of that unbelievable vast African rain forest in the Central African Republic. WOW!!!! The interaction with the people of the village and those encountered on the road will be embedded in your memories forever. Best episode yet. Stay safe.
What a lovely community of people. I loved how they said, "you are safe here". The key lesson from watching many travel Vlogs like this is that everywhere in the World there are good and generous people. Sadly media focusses on the tiny minority who are the opposite. Glad you're safe and sound and I love how positive you are even in the most challenging situations.
I agree with many of your commentors that these African episodes are the best. More interesting and informative than I’ve seen anywhere. Ride on ✌️
I lived in Ethiopia and Nigeria for two years each when l was young. My dad was a hydrologist with USAID doing water projects. It was some of the most enjoyable times of my life.The people and country will always be close to my heart. I love your adventures they make me happy! Thanks!
In my travels ,the poorer the people the more generous they are.
What an amazing episode.
So nice to see so many smiling happy faces to greet you.
I agree it really is the best video so far I was very emotional witnessing humanity in action from all. Kind regards. Haley
Watching your channel has really opened my eyes about Africa and it's people. What a wonderous land and people.
The drone shot from the lodge of was out of this world. Really, really wonderful Job there, Noraly. Well done once again
