- In this episode I meet some of my followers in Swedish Lapland and she tells me about discovering her Sami roots. Later I meet Jomi, who is also Sami and has his herd of reindeer up in the mountains. He was asked by his friend, the owner of my accommodation, to show me to the place. Along the way he teaches me which trees to use to built a good fire - best tips I ever got!!

Hi Noraly!
Nice to meet you in Jokkmokk
Stay safe
Thank you for giving the details
Hello, Carina. It was lovely to meet you and hear your stories. I live in the New York Catskill Mtns where our deer are the northern white-tail (Odocoileus virginianus borealis), rather than caribou. It was nice to hear that herders receive compensation for a deer that is killed on the road.
So nice of you to catch Noraly and spend time with her! The real question is, do you ride (on your husband's GSA or on your own bike?) My husband also rides a GSA, and I started riding about 3 years ago on a GS. It's never too late to start!
How lucky were you to find Noraly and talk to her? Because of your meeting we have been able to hear your lovely stories. I must try to visit Lapland, it looks enchanting and welcoming. She is giving tourism a big boost to wherever she goes!
Hi Carina , I know the feeling that you have described when speaking about something missing in your heart , it's good to know your true origins and ancestors . I feel this strong force that is calling me to visit the northern parts of Europe , I have some Norwegian ancestry .
This is what sets Noraly apart from most other adventure bike channels. No partying and blasting fast over the roughest terrains. But exploring and sharing the countries with her special interest in geology. Rather than partying having an interest in the local people and ask intelligent questions.
Good morning
What kind of a bullshit comment is this..?..😳.. There is a whole broad spectrum of things to do and enjoy in this life.. Itchy is just doing what she likes to do and documenting it.. Of course things of a personal nature are kept private.. As they should be..
That cabin on the lake 🤩🤩
Noraly : Oh look Reindeers how beautiful!
(A few moments later)
Ok, I'm eating one now.
😂😂
Though the same.. 😂
There is a place for all of gods creatures - and it's usually next to the lingon berries.
Good morning
Reindeers are comed food in Finland and Sweden Lappland.
Holy moly! That is the best comment! LOL!
That's not a camping spot...that's Heaven. This was a fantastic episode, Noraly. I absolutely loved it. Karina is fascinating and I'd love to hear more of her stories.
What a journey you're on. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.
Good morning
Thank you Wayne
Dear Noraly. As an elderly gentleman who has been ridden a motorcycle for 13 years, I want to praise you; for your courage, for your winning being, for the amazing tales.
As a result of your stories, I have chosen NOT to hang the helmet up on the hook, but run several seasons more. So thank you beautiful and charming motorcycle woman, and good wind ahead! All the Best from Denmark 🇩🇰
Totally agree with you John she is amazing. I have had several motor bikes since 1964 but had to hang up my helmet ten years ago due to back problems. Still miss it a lot though.
@@brallybear620 Sorry to hear that. I hope there are some good years left in me, and the Honda. Greatings from Denmark 🇩🇰
Your a kid been riding 54 years
👍 NZ
I was watching Long Way Up, Charlie and Ewan traveling by motorcycle, accompanied by a team of vehicles and support staff through the same roads in Argentina, Chile and into Bolivia. This young lady just does it by herself amd with a smile. Respect.
It's not just the scenery that's great, but the interactions with the locals can also be so heartwarming.
As a 🇸🇪Swede🇸🇪 my self ; you’re doing a great job to show the world Sweden.
As an American having never before seen any sights of your country, I am astounded at the beauty. It looks like a country you can be very proud of.
@@pjp6134 That's the problem with all tourism, the very act of going to see and enjoy a site potentially destroys the very thing you went to experience. The same has happened in the Flinders Ranges in South Australia. They now serve soy double decafe coffee in the wilderness interpretive centre where you can brush shoulders with all the Audi Q8 and ML drivers in air conditioned comfort while you decide which tour package you want to buy, sigh. :-(
@@pjp6134 tha is right for sure, but lets be honest: there are many people earning there money with tourism, its not as its only a bad thing. (ps: I was one of the visitors and I enjoyed every second of nz )
The young Dutch woman recognized by an older Laplander. Wow! I’m sure many of Noraly's more senior viewers in the U.S. remember the old Mary Tyler Moore show. The theme song comes to mind each time I watch an Itchy Boots video. "Who can turn the world on with her smile? ...Who can take a nothing day and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile?... Well it's you girl and you should know it.. . With each glance and every little movement you show it.... Love is all around, no need to waste it, You can have the why don’t you take it. You might just make it after all."
You said it...
People tend to come in to our lives by chance, but it's not by mear chance the stay inside us (heart/soul)
That song says it all, and NORALY does deserve that recognition!
Can't wait to have her travelling through PORTUGAL, Porto and the DOURO Valley... must meet(!) must meet(!)
MAHARANI ( Triumph Bonneville 900 STwin) must meet RONIN
Can't wait...
(from Bolivia)
Mary Tyler Moore tv show - u got a good memory. Thanks
@@billmitch920 No kidding at 53 years old I can barely remember the melody to the theme song
You made me cry Richard, I’m a 63 year old GW rider, stop that
My sentiments exactly! 70 and in the USA
That opening drone shot over that lake was magic.
What a cool place! & the Sami lady was wonderful....... my family recently found out that we have a Sami grandmother!
And exactly how we started a fire as Boy Scouts!
When you get far enough north, go and ask Santa Claus for a 4-season sleeping bag for Christmas 😉
She actually was about 30 min from Santas Village when she passed Rättvik :-).
Santa lives in Finland near by town called Rovaniemi.
@@artsilaakso7773 So is Ho Ho Ho derived from Hoova Huormenta!
@@artsilaakso7773 Nope, Santa lives in Greenland.
@@PoulLausen clearly swedes and finns disagree, i too belive he lives near rovaniemi but im incorrect too because saint nicholaus lived in what we now call turkey
A beautiful dutch women in a beautiful swedish lapland landscape,the drone shot was really something👍👍♥️🇸🇪🇸🇪
Your coverage of my Country is amazing, thank you. Ive seen a fair bit of travel videos in sweden but yours 100% take the prize of covering history, culture, nature etc...
What a place to stay for the night. The peace and quiet must have been great.
Good morning
Wow like a space capsule!
You meet the best people when riding a motorbike - bikers and non-bikers alike - fascinating to learn about local culture.
Your videos continue to inspire me (and many others) - Sweden (and the rest of Northern Europe) is now firmly on my touring list.
Shiver me timbers,that is pretty cool.
You also meet dirtbags and criminals.
@@SkepticCat-pz1zz true for all walks of life, bikers or not
MotoSera bikers and pickup truck drivers more so
you meet the best people ON A HONDA...
This was one of the most beautiful and interesting areas to date. Your interaction with the people was so great and their info was so interesting. Your place to stay was just amazing. The drone footage was absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for sharing. Ride safe and keep up the great adventure.
Cinematographer, explorer, and world ambassador. You are an amazing lady. God bless you and keep you safe in your travels.
This was a great episode, I've recently started watching. Im from Sweden and I must say that 1. Your Swedish reading is actually very good, as well as your pronounciation! and 2. Thank you for doing such a good job of showing the best sides of our country, not only the cities.
Keep on rockin' in the free world, Noraly.
Good morning
that floating cabin by the lake, in the middle of nowhere looked heavenly 😍
I have never seen so many fir trees! It is like our states of Oregon and Washington must have been before the loggers came in and cut it down. We have hardly any "old growth" trees left. All have been planted again to be "harvested" in 20 to 30 years. How I wish I could be seeing in person what you are enjoying. 76 years young, thanks for taking the ride for me.
Mostly planted trees in this area too. The old forests are either cut down or made into nature reserves.
Well, one million swedes emigrated to the US in late 19th century and they probably contributed to that.
@@johan.mp4 and later on us who stayed tried to fix that mistake. If I remember correctly 90% of sweden's forests have been replanted by man, so called "culture forests".
Wow, the ultimate camping spot. Boo on the mosquitos! Looks wonderful!
I like Karina. Seems like I would love to hear her stories.
Thank you Noraly. Each day you bring the far reaches of the world into my home. These are places I have only dreamed of visiting and many I did not even know exist. You have given me an appreciation of the diversity of the geology and landscapes that exist. Also the pleasure of seeing the many cultures and people on this planet. You are a courageous person. Thank you for enhancing my appreciation and understanding of the world in which we live.
Exactly my sentiments
Don't ever think any of your videos are boring! I love every one and put it on each day as I eat my lunch. I love seeing all the countries. You probably don't realize how totally educational your work is, especially for those who don't get to travel to all the places you go. And I loved your visit with the Sami lady. She was lovely. How nice that people recognize you. I can hardly wait for you to get to the Southwest of the US. With your love of the mountains, I think you will like it here too. Try to plan to go through Santa Fe in New Mexico. It is a 600 year old multi-cultural city that I know you won't want to miss. See you then?!?!
I started watching Noraly’s videos about 2 years ago. Going back to these older one is so cool!!! Can’t get enough of Itchy!!! ❤❤❤
Looks so much like northern Canada. Always love Scandinavian countries
What an a amazing place to stay, I'd be sad to leave after only one night !
The content on this channel never ceases to amaze me !
Looking forward to lots more !
Itchy Boots at it's best; lovely people, and beautiful scenery. Who would give a 'thumbs down' to this?
People and children are the same everywhere. The commonality of the everyday person are the same. It always amazes me when I see people from other countries and we actually have so much in common.
TH-cam is just the distribution - YOU bring people together!
So true!
You are absolutely right!
Lapland looks spectacular. The accommodation on the lake was fantastic. Although showing this to the missis, she said; "its beautiful, but I couldn`t stay there, I would fall in walking down the narrow wooden walkway". I said, " where`s your adventure and also it would be funny if you did fall in". She wasn`t amused.
Lapland looks a lot like northern Canada.
@@randyolan1273 Well it is literally on the same latitude as northern Canada and northern half of Alaska.
I get wanderlust when I see pictures like this.
Im glad i found this channel, good stuff :)
Brilliant
As we have Ikea in UK we all know about lingonberry 👍🏻
Really cool 😎 place to stay the night. Epic & very Romantic.
Smoke 💨 from the fire 🔥 good to keep the mosquitoes 🦟 at bay.
❤️
It's always great to share my morning coffee with Noraly and Ronin!
SWEDEN is a beautiful country.
Terrific video. What a blast staying in that gorgeous glass cabin on the water. And so wonderfully isolated :) I went across the Arctic Circle in Finland, and yes Lapland is a special place, very special and it has a special energy. I went to Iron Beard tattoo shop in Rovaniemi and had some figures from a traditional Sami drum tattooed on my arm, so now I can look at my tattoo and think about Lapland and how much I love it.
It was interesting to hear about Sami history and how it has fared from the Swedish lady, and funny that she recognised Ronin. Ah, thank you so much Noraly. Happy Rides.
It's Lapland in English, too. I follow a Danish trucker who goes up to the Finmark and northern Norway to pick up salmon. This countryside looks familiar. It's lovely to me...sort of a boggy boreal forest I'm sure only the hardiest and not minding wet feet sort of trees live here. May these terrains remain forever vast!
Such an interesting conversation with your lunch companion. Heritage connection is important, imo. A spotting scope at your little cabin - niiice! Another fascinating episode - thank you!
I think she was referring to English pronunciation of the word
WhiteTiger333 who is the trucker? I would like to follow him
@@johnn17golf Hi, John. His TH-cam channel is "Slipses".
WhiteTiger333 thanks. I am subscribed, I did not realise he was Danish! You have good taste, his videos are excellent.
Amazing hut! Love the drone footage!
The best travel guide on TH-cam by far
This is your best eps on this journey yet - thanks ❤️
Wow that place you stayed is amazing. The drone shot is great.
Your chance meeting and visit with the Sami lady and her husband was very interesting. The video on this episode is gorgeous. Just like on all of your videos.
The Swedish scenery is spectacular and the camping pod is in the most perfect location 👌
Your interview with Karina added something special to the video - please consider doing more of these.
Hej Karina och Mikel, you two are famous now, too! ^^)
Hjärtlige hälsingar från Troisdorf i Tyskland! :oD
Did anyone else first drop his jaw then make a happy squeak on seeing that hut on the lake? Imagine sitting there under the windows in the warm and outside is cold night with northern lights comming down.
I wouldn't call it *_the_* best place you stayed at though, Noraly: That tree hotel in Thailand was jaw-droppinbgly beautiful as well, fully on par with this here gem.
It's a perfect place.
Norrland really is a fantastic place to live
Sincerely from a proud Pitebo
hahaha....*raises her hand* I DID! SOOO envious!
Ich komme aus Troisdorf auch!
@@youssef7640 Hey, zhis is internätionäl hier, please shpeak English! Vizh an eggscent is okay, zhough.
Hey León! Small town, yet we are everywhere, right? Which of the ten parts of Troisdorf are you from? Central here!
Love that accommodation...fantastic location :)...great drone work thank you
That is the most amazing accommodations I have ever seen. I would take that over any 5 star hotel!
I can barely find a decent trail to ride on and Noraly finds places to stay like this. She is truly a logistical genius!
Wow ! What a beautiful place to stay and amazing drone footage. And how fortunate you were to meet the nice Sami lady . You have so many followers now . You are like a movie star. Another great video. Thanks. 😄👍🇨🇦
I have follow you from Bangkok, every video, and love them all. Now you ride through my north of Sweden and I love this videos even more. Dress warm and drive gently . Lycklig resa!
At 60 years old I am planning my trip to the Arctic Circle in May next year. Thanks to you! Be safe.
Amazing video as always! Loved the little hut by the water!!! So interesting.
Superb lake view and the little cabin on lake. Amazing. God bless you.
Its lovely when you meet the nicest people in unexpected places 🤗 🇬🇧
Noraly, I'm from Swedish & Dutch descendants so your vlog has really piqued my interest to plan some travel in The Netherlands and Sweden. I just discovered that my Grandfather immigrated from Holland in 1892 at the age of 8 years old a few months ago. Seeing a copy of the census log was incredible for me as I always thought I was 100% Swedish. I'm so proud to know that I'm also Dutch! Love all your posts & appreciate your hardwork and talent. Travel safely.
Good morning
What a perfect camping pod! Lovely!
I had to laugh when you saw the reindeer, and I remembered Dhanno dressed as Rudolph with his x's... You have the world in your palm...enjoy as we all do...Thanks
Another fantastic episode!
This is one of the best vlogs I have seen. Great chat with the lady with Sami blood. The pod you slept in, is like a page from a science fiction book!
Wow what a fantastic spot to watch the stars 🤩😘
Your little camp pod on the lake is off the charts!! Love this video so much, I will watch it again now...wheeeeee 🙃
Roxxi when are you putting something out?
Ken Kong
I’m picking up my Triumph October 13 finally!!! Will start my ride on the 15th heading up to BONNEVILLE Salt Flats in Utah then across Colorado Continental Divide and drop back down to Texas, Oklahoma etc going East till I get to Florida...almost 4,000 miles
Update:
Shipping delayed from the UK so won’t get my Triumph until the 23. Better late than never 👍
Cool i cant wait to see the video
Me tooooo love from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
I would defiantly watch your vlog of that ! Your adventure sounds Awesome 👍 can't wait to see your bike too. Stay safe Roxxi👍🏍👍🍻
Looks like you ended up at the right spot for your accomodation. It looks wonderful and sooo peacefull. Thanks for your videos (like getting 3 christmas presents a week :-)) - I embrace your humble approach to people and nature on your journey. Keep it comming and keep filling the world with joy and laughter.
Great vlog Noraly! Thank you for sharing your travels 🇺🇸
So glad you are spending time talking with the Sami. My father and grandparents were Sami. 🥰
Good morning
Always happy to see you.
You're living my dream. :)
Shots of night sky from your cabin would have made it mind blowing
Love it when you meet with people on the road. That's what traveling is for !
That accommodation is one of the best I’ve ever seen 👍👍💜
This is one of your best videos , cloture, senary , enthusiasm and that pod at the end awesome ! You must have loved seeing the drone footage. Errr! That didn't go for a swim did it !? At the end.
I think you master the Swedish language like a BOSS Noraly!
The other video when you read on the closed restaurant, completely understandable.
My Dutch would be unrecognisable to everyone :)
The really odd thing is that in south of Sweden we say Umeå, but in Umeå they say only Ume.
Same with Luleå, seems to be Lule.
Someone from nothern parts will correct me if i'm wrong.
You are right! :)
Thank you for shareing this great adventure..
What an incredible episode! Loved the encounter with your Sami fans and that little place on the water was amazing! Thanks for sharing Noraly!
amazing video!! love it.. waiting for next episode
Good to see you enjoying our
great country.
You seem more mellow since you got here. Maybe we can make a swede out of you😉
It is sooooooo nice to see you having fun all over the world. Thank you for sharing your travels with us!!!! YOU ROCK!!!!!
What a wonderful video about Sweden and it's wilderness, love to follow you around the globe, subscribed since long time and love to look at every episode
So beautiful! Would love to go there someday. I am from the United States, I live in Anna,Illinois. Lots of history here with the Native American people. Actually our farm is on the Trail of Tears. I absolutely love your videos and how positive you always are.i have been a subscriber since Season One, this is my first comment. Thank you so much for sharing these amazing adventures. Safe travels to you..
Interestingly, the Same people of the Northern countries and Russia, share a lot of cultural similarities with Native Americans. Like, a lot! For example they sing almost identically. Here, their singing is called the Jojk (pronounced joy-k). Also clothes and rituals, not to mention spiritual views and beliefs are all very similar. Probably, they share some history not too long ago, relatively speaking.
Awesome camp site, love the interactions with the locals in your travels.
Wow..scenery, picturesque villages, and a youtube follower in the middle of it, then the hut on the water..just wow!!
Love the videos diaries. Thank you for all the work you put into them to show us your adventures. I love the accommodation on the lake, look like it would be amazing to see the stars and very relaxing. 💙💙
A kind couple, amazing stay, this is the best episode i have ever seen from you Noraly. Thanks a lot for making this kind of highly enjoyable video. And i hope you can find more and more beautiful places in the future
Many of the place names in Lapland are not Swedish but Sami or Finnish. Jokkmokk is Sami and means "River Bend".
True. Jokkmokk isJokimutka in finnish.
i became your subscriber , when you started posting videos of your travels in India... hundreds of amazing videos from Asia, Europe, Patagonia and also from your own country Netherland...but to me this one is the best...the last part of your video about your new temporary abode is just awesome... keep vlogging...keep posting this type of Amazing videos...looking forward for your North Sweden videos
That is thee most brilliant accommodation ive ever seen , love watching your videos , keep posting .
Sweden, the most beautiful country in the world. 💖
What a totally amazing, beautiful place you are in, that metal camping pod is incredible !
I'm so envious of your lifestyle Noraly !! XX
Incomparable! Thank you so much.
Fantastic Noraly, really enjoying seeing this part of the world, a world I may never see myself, but you're doing the things many wish they could.
Yea we do the same with the birch trees in Michigan . . use the bark for fire starter
Collecting birch bark is not included in swedish "Allemansrätten". Sometimes people peel off big deep chunks of bark. Looks really ugly.
The cabin is absolutely wonderful, that is perfect isolation.
Heading North in October? Very brave. We went early May and had a very cool ride at +1 from Murmansk to Ivalo. Keep up the honest videos, very entertaining!!
That has to be one of the coolest, tiniest, little camping huts I've ever seen. That is just simply cool as hell.
Good morning
Finally a YT recommendation that make sense! Safe travels!
Stunning accommodation Noraly
One of the best episodes ever.
Love that little house on the lake. You find the most amazing places to stay. Be safe on the road and keep the videos coming. I look forward to them.
