I have been riding roads like this for longer than she has been alive and I am in awe of her skills-skills which are as apparent even on some of the less intimidating circumstances. And that’s it. You dare not go faster than you can instantly recognize and assess every threat. This woman is utterly amazing. Forget gender. Find me a man who faces daily the host of threats, large and small, and surmounts them, that this woman does. She is without peer.
For sure, a serious gas tank issue is located, resolved etc, should have never been released like that! She found the right mech to tap that stud out too. Frankie's quite the custom build, IB is learning her secrets.
I,to, have ridden large road bikes all my life until I got too old and I would be intimidated by the chaos many of these countries call 'traffic'. Unbelievable how she navigates through all of this despite language barriers and lack of knowledge of local customs. All done in the most benevolent manner possible! Thank you for showing the true nature of these faraway places I can only dream of!
Once again, a most striking part of your journey is the warmth, kindness, and generosity of the people. Cultures are often fascinating, but the people are the stars of the experience.

Ah! Christmas came early this year with a Saturday episode. Glad you are feeling better. You are a beautiful soul for helping the handicapped man. I see you are approaching 2.5 Million subscribers! WOW!👍👍👍 Best Wishes and Safe Travels Dear Lady! 💖💖🏍🤠
Thank you noraly, for showing us the world and letting us see that kindness is still everywhere to be found. Brings tears to my eyes everytime, You are truly an inspiration and your freedom and strenght as a women is such a inspiration as well. ❤
Norally is a woman with balls of steel. She is a fantastic adventurer who, with her partner Frankie, has traveled throughout Africa and the Middle East. She deserves to be considered for the TIME MAGAZINE award in 2025.
🤔 sticking to the truth “her partner Frankie” is her current bike a Yamaha Tenere, same age as she is and renewed custom built in Germany, she started off this journey in Istanbul onto Asia. Maybe you want to check out her channel 😂 It’s been on her previous bike named Alaska, a Honda CRF 300 Rally, she went from South America to Alaska before going on her next trip throughout Africa on that bike again being done after those two trips.

Thank you for squashing all the preconceived notions about so many places. You prove everyday you treat people with kindness you get kindness in return. I look forward to your travels through Iran!
I’ve been really curious about Iraq, after our disastrous wars, what would it look like? Rubble? But no! Thriving cities, very kind people. So grateful to Noraly for her excellent filming and editing and showing us the world, through her courage and indomitable spirit. Cheerful always.
50 lbs. of fuel weight when full, was probably tweaking that one bolt pretty good, since the other broke. Yes, I'd say it's a good thing. In fact, when typing this, I went out and checked my front tank mount rubbers and bolts on my 1983 Honda CX650c. I guess I owe Noraly on that one...she got me to check out something i never thought about. It takes a village !
Nice job getting the broken bolt removed and insulator flipped on the tank. Thank You Moritz for looking after Frankie and Noraly. Comforting to know you are there. Thank you Noraly and Ride Safe! Peace! ❤❤❤
Your energy is a bit low due to illness. However, you remain one of the most patient and generous hearted people on this planet. I wish i had half of your grace moving thru this world. Thank you again for sharing.
Noraly's travels and interactions with the locals brings home the message that kindness and generosity can be found in every single country on the planet, but if we listen to the politicians and the media, a more grim and cynical picture is painted, including stereotyping whole people's. Noraly really is an ambassador for all that is good in our species and she deserves to be internationally recognized for her breaking down cultural barriers and showing us how we can all approach life with an open mind and a kind heart. Bless you Miss Schoenmaker for being a beacon of light and inspiration in a troubled world.
That broken tank bolt was not a small problem! If Noraly had not gotten it fixed right away the tank could have gotten a hole in it or even worse, split open. That would have been a disaster. The mechanic did a great job of digging that bolt out. The resourcefulness of the Kurdistan people amazes me. They see a problem, they figure it out and they fix it. +++ I was also taken by how round and curved everything was, from the streets to the buildings with their rounded edges to the wonderful mosques. Just beautiful and so pleasing to the eye. Although Noraly wasn't about to plummet off the side of a mountain on every road, this might have been my favorite episode. I just feel good after watching it.
A Saturday episode! Thank You, and Happy Holidays to everyone! We are enjoying Iraq and seeing the beautiful sites there. Glad you are feeling better. Safe travels Noraly!
I want to go to Turkey and Iraq now, these places look wonderful and fabulous friendly people. This is what we do not see in the west. Thank you Noraly!!
Noraly, I always get a little bit nervous, when you tell us about problems, concerning Frankie. But as always, you solved it 👍 ! That`s great ! And Thank You again, for beeing my (virtual) guide through so many unknown countries and showing me foreign natives and their kindness towards foreign guests.
Thank you for being courageous and adventuresome. Parts of the world I would never have thought to venture into are now displayed in a way that feels inviting.
Thanks Noraly without getting too political your time in Iraq and the lovely people you have met serve to remind me of all those that lost their lives in the Iraq war. Its a country you have proven that is worth visiting.
Which "..Iraq war..". IRAQ-1 or IRAQ-2. There were TWO wars and it is often forgotten that IRAQ-1 achieved its purpose (the removal of Iraqi forces from Kuwait) and was fully mandated by the United Nations and the Arab League. The latter is often 'forgotten' when trying to score political points via a vlog about motorcycle adventure touring.....
As always the people are very friendly and generous too. Beautiful country with an amazing history. It’s mind boggling to think how many centuries back those people were thriving. Stay safe and Merry Christmas or whichever holiday you celebrate.
You may already know this but for those who don't. If you get a piece of flexible hose and with your bike at idle, hold one end to your ear and move the hose around the bike touching the engine, and other places where a vibration may come from like the bolt, you will hear it. Mechanics have been doing this ever since the first automobile.
@@navalcomand1981 I don't think she gave him because he would pester her. She has been welcomed very nicely in that country . Remember whenever she went to buy food from the first town she entered in Kurdistan, no one wanted her to pay. She got so upset at first but I think she's now used to their great hospitality. Well that begger got her blessings and maybe he blessed her too. 😊😊
Just a simple Merry Christmas to all. Especially our generous host, happy holidays to you and yours. Thank you for your videos, you show us the world as it is,a truly marvelous place.
Amazing, hypnotic, I can't stop watching your channel. The view of the world portrayed by the mainstream media would have you believe Iraq is wrecked and dangerous, thank you for for showing the beautiful side of humanity Noraly❣Franky is AWESOME !🤩
The places that your camera captures are incredible. It's a journey that transports us to the wonders that nature has to offer. I'm happy to know that you're better and to continue taking good care of you since you fixed the bolt.❤
I am really enjoying seeing Iraq through your eyes. Thank you! Glad you are feeling better and got the bolt issue sorted. What a great trip you are doing!
That makes her journey through this region even more incredible as a lone woman This may be also why the men will pay for her food wherever she goes. it is part of their custom. A form of protection, not based on possession or malice. I am speculating...
Merry Christmas everyone! Merry Christmas to Iraq. Nice to see places like the genuine generosity of Iraqi people. ❤ Thank you Noraly for bringing us with you in stunning places like Erbil.❤
Thank-you again Noraly, for reminding us all, that people are good wherever you find them! You are the spice of life wherever you go. I'm happy to see you feeling better and can't wait until you get your book translated into English and published so I can buy a copy and read it in between episodes.
Noraly, you are indeed the good will ambassador because you connect with people on a human level. That is why we watch. Breathtaking scenery and wonderful people. That's a winning combination, 👍👍 Sending much love and cheer this Holiday Season from Jim and Harriet Richmond, VA.
You make me smile every time I watch you mixing with the local people. You are the attraction to all that get near you and Frankie. The stories and history make me want to know more. Keep spreading your smile around the world. We all need to follow your example😅
Добрые люди во всех странах, только их рисуют из Америки, так как им надо, потому простые американцы удивляются что Noraly так встречают во всех странах. Читаю многие коментарии Американцев и очень удивлён их реакцией, будто им открыли глаза, мне кажется что они просто не интересуются что происходит в Мире. А просто слушают что говорит правительство, масмедии, радио... Мне искренне жаль не просвещенных американцев. ЖЕЛАЮ всем людям мира, добра и здоровья!
So glad you are over that bout of flu . Again we see that the picture the mainstream media would have us believe is totally false and the people are actually so nice and the country an interesting place to visit. Thanks Noraly for enlightening everyone. Already looking forward to the next video. 👍
All the places you have been, you are a brave woman. If I had a daughter, I'd want her to be brave like you. That I what the world needs. More brave and intelligent women, only way humanity will get past the ignorance in so many places. Thank you 😊
What an amazing day! The city is so clean and beautiful views! Glad you found and repaired the noise with Frankie. Lots of great food too!! Thanks for sharing another day of your adventures. Ride safe Noraly!
I did not expect such a rich and vibrant city, full of life and trade and food. It's terrible how the world news has warped my ideas about Kurdistan. Thank you for this video.
So many sights and sounds.....but what stood out for me was Noraly offering some money to the old man as he walked through the traffic......THAT was special.....and shows how compassionate Noraly is !!! ☯☯☯
Those with only one crutch are usually fake. Leaning sideways looks impressive and one hand is free to collect the money. I saw a vid from switzerland where one of them even managed to swing and shake "uncontrollably" before he went off in his one car.
@@larifari4371 I accept the possibility of that being true, however, it does not detract from how I view Noraly's action (which is a reflection of her inner character)
Loved this episode. It's so refreshing to see real people, places and situations. As for the people, as they say we're all Jock Tamson's Bairn's...and it shows, with the warm hearts seen everywhere. Iraq is a beautiful country.
stunning location, and the best on a dull and grey day - this Noraly brightened it up - thanks so much, keep on riding and showing us the places we wouldn't without your great vlog🎉❤😂
Noraly, you were driving like one of the locals after Frankie got fixed, zipping in and out of traffic. Love that your videos are more mellow but still very interesting ❤ btw, all those goodies at the market looked so good.
So fascinating. The foods in the markets look amazing. From my perspective it seems strange that, except for some tourists, it is almost all men in the streets and markets.
Welcome from the UK. You never cease to amaze to amaze me female on bike walks into street repair shop - explains the situation - hey presto fixed x how much did that cost you? Not much - brilliant. Arabs in there own countries very hospital. Enjoy.
Noraly, With each video I am more surprised regarding Iraq's infrastructure. Modern, quite organized, clean and with super friendly and cordial people, at least that's what you show us, very different how the MIDIA show to the world... Now just wait what your next destination will be and how you will continue your journey without risking your own safety... Good luck and take care of yourself!!!
Beautiful city and citadel. So eye opening to have a fresh perspective of this country. Love seeing all the friendly and kind people. Noraly you really are a special traveler.
Whoops, I wasn’t expecting to see a video from you today, Noraly. I thought I had lost a day somewhere, not expecting to see a submission on a Saturday. That bushing that was installed incorrectly is quite a surprise because the ‘remanufacturers’ seemed to be so completely thorough. However, all’s well that ends well. Glad to see that you’re feeling better. Now I’ll have to keep watch every day to make sure not to miss a new video!…❤❤❤Rick
The amount of times she's liked and replied to comments over the last two weeks makes me think that she's already taking a break at home with her loved ones for Christmas. Maybe she'll send Frankie off to a new country afterwards and continue her journey there - final destination Japan. Merry Xmas
It’s great to be able to see nice people around the world. There is so many bad things happening on our planet, but thanks to Noraly, she shows us the beauty there still is. ❤
WOW what a surprise! Itchy Boots feeling so much better she released a video a day early!! So nice to see so many happy people wanting to greet Noraly just rolling down the street!! I thought it was quite bizarre to see people set up shop in the middle of traffic! I guess that’s customary there. Great tour of the city! Thanks for sharing your wonderful adventures! Let’s continue ! Hopefully no more rattles or funny noises from Frankie! Cheers from Texas USA ❤❤
Honestly, Noraly, you should put like a documentary on your travels. I'd definitely be into watching an hour and a half or whatever you'd come up with. You ride through some of the most picturesque places I've ever seen. It's beautiful here in Canada but it's absolutely beautiful in other countries as well. I appreciate your dedication and realism into your channel, and with that said, happy trails to you from Canada
It is safe to travel but trust me, coming from Holland makes transit a lot easier getting across borders and through checkpoints than saying you come from the UK or USA in places like Iraq. Attitude and the sheer guts on display from Itchy Boots goes a long way and we can all learn from her. I have always found the real people of any country to be always welcoming and gracious. The world isn’t as bad as it’s made out to be by the media.
Merry Christmas, Ms SchoenmaKer. Just a quick message of holiday health & happiness to you from a loyal subscriber wishing you endless miles & smiles for the upcoming New Year! All the best from Doug in Delaware (USA).
While a few people in power may create chaos, ordinary people remaind kind and generous.Your are a world ambassador Noraly 👊🇸🇪

So many sights and sounds.....but what stood out for me was Noraly offering some money to the old man as he walked through the traffic......THAT was special.....and shows how compassionate Noraly is !!! ☯☯☯
Those with only one crutch are usually fake. Leaning sideways looks impressive and one hand is free to collect the money. I saw a vid from switzerland where one of them even managed to swing and shake "uncontrollably" before he went off in his one car.
@@larifari4371 I accept the possibility of that being true, however, it does not detract from how I view Noraly's action (which is a reflection of her inner character)
Some are permanently disfigured when young so they can spend the rest of their life begging which is usually more productive than working - sad.
@@brianmcdonald1776 Yeah, shure! She was hoping he was no fake and maybe he wasn't. She gave with a pure heart to somebody. We'll never know.
Why do you think they included that part, it doesn't have to be shown.
Loved this episode. It's so refreshing to see real people, places and situations. As for the people, as they say we're all Jock Tamson's Bairn's...and it shows, with the warm hearts seen everywhere. Iraq is a beautiful country.
Liked your comment, and knew exactly your neck of the woods!
Absolutely awesome as always 👏
Much love from Canada 🇨🇦 💜👍
stunning location, and the best on a dull and grey day - this Noraly brightened it up - thanks so much, keep on riding and showing us the places we wouldn't without your great vlog🎉❤😂
Bedankt weer Noraly, altijd een plezier om jouw video’s te bekijken. Groetjes uit Ridderkerk🙋♀️

What a beautiful city Erbil. Thank you for showing us and sharing your travel experiences.
The amount of positivity you possess, Norali, is enough to heal 20 people suffering from depression.
Noraly, you were driving like one of the locals after Frankie got fixed, zipping in and out of traffic. Love that your videos are more mellow but still very interesting ❤ btw, all those goodies at the market looked so good.
So fascinating. The foods in the markets look amazing. From my perspective it seems strange that, except for some tourists, it is almost all men in the streets and markets.
I notice that also. All men!
Welcome from the UK. You never cease to amaze to amaze me female on bike walks into street repair shop - explains the situation - hey presto fixed x how much did that cost you? Not much - brilliant. Arabs in there own countries very hospital. Enjoy.
Noraly,
With each video I am more surprised regarding Iraq's infrastructure. Modern, quite organized, clean and with super friendly and cordial people, at least that's what you show us, very different how the MIDIA show to the world...
Now just wait what your next destination will be and how you will continue your journey without risking your own safety...
Good luck and take care of yourself!!!
Beautiful city and citadel. So eye opening to have a fresh perspective of this country. Love seeing all the friendly and kind people. Noraly you really are a special traveler.
5:40 "That's not really why I'm here, obviously"
Noraly, I love your never-ending portions of humor in every episode😁😊❤👍
I am always impressed with how she deals with people and it is always so favorable. A true ambassador every where she goes.
Watching from Santa Barbara Calif. Thanks so much Noraly. I can’t wait to receive your book in June in English. 🚶♂️
Whoops, I wasn’t expecting to see a video from you today, Noraly. I thought I had lost a day somewhere, not expecting to see a submission on a Saturday. That bushing that was installed incorrectly is quite a surprise because the ‘remanufacturers’ seemed to be so completely thorough. However, all’s well that ends well. Glad to see that you’re feeling better. Now I’ll have to keep watch every day to make sure not to miss a new video!…❤❤❤Rick
Christmas is Wednesday this is probably the only video until next weekend she needs to take a few days off
The amount of times she's liked and replied to comments over the last two weeks makes me think that she's already taking a break at home with her loved ones for Christmas. Maybe she'll send Frankie off to a new country afterwards and continue her journey there - final destination Japan. Merry Xmas
Great love for Kurdistan from Finland 😍😍😍❤
It’s great to be able to see nice people around the world. There is so many bad things happening on our planet, but thanks to Noraly, she shows us the beauty there still is. ❤
WOW what a surprise! Itchy Boots feeling so much better she released a video a day early!! So nice to see so many happy people wanting to greet Noraly just rolling down the street!! I thought it was quite bizarre to see people set up shop in the middle of traffic! I guess that’s customary there. Great tour of the city! Thanks for sharing your wonderful adventures! Let’s continue ! Hopefully no more rattles or funny noises from Frankie! Cheers from Texas USA ❤❤
Great to see the kindness of the people. Regular people everywhere are wonderful.
Kindly get as much rest as you can. We are with you in the spirit. 🙏
Honestly, Noraly, you should put like a documentary on your travels. I'd definitely be into watching an hour and a half or whatever you'd come up with. You ride through some of the most picturesque places I've ever seen. It's beautiful here in Canada but it's absolutely beautiful in other countries as well. I appreciate your dedication and realism into your channel, and with that said, happy trails to you from Canada
Honestly u have showed how the world is safe to travel and we are more grateful dear, Ugandans 🇺🇬 and Kenayns 🇰🇪 let's Gather here

It is safe to travel but trust me, coming from Holland makes transit a lot easier getting across borders and through checkpoints than saying you come from the UK or USA in places like Iraq. Attitude and the sheer guts on display from Itchy Boots goes a long way and we can all learn from her. I have always found the real people of any country to be always welcoming and gracious. The world isn’t as bad as it’s made out to be by the media.
Noraly: what a beautiful, kind & warmhearted person you are!
Each time she introduces herself I wonder how many young girls around the globe have been named Noraly after this legend of a traveller.
Stunning view of the city, the people are so friendly...Great to see a REAL view of this amazing country, makes me want to visit 🇬🇧♥️
Merry Christmas, Ms SchoenmaKer. Just a quick message of holiday health & happiness to you from a loyal subscriber wishing you endless miles & smiles for the upcoming New Year! All the best from Doug in Delaware (USA).
Thank you Noraly for taking us around this beautiful world!
Hi,Norlay
Good to see you in beautiful Kurdistan ❤️💛💚
Enjoy have safe trip
