    I flew hundreds of geologists all over Alaska, British Columbia and the Yukon in helicopters and never met one as cheerful as you. Recently watched your adventure through Stewart, BC and Hyder, AK. I grew up in Hyder and met my wife (of 49 years now) in Stewart, BC. Admire your adventurous sprit…..keep up the great work….stay save, travel safe and go get um girl.

    Itchy Boots offesr you a free holyday, be it a virtual one. I travelled some time through Mid- and East Africa and know a bit how it looks like. However, her very deep insight and the happy faces she leaves when departing, does tell enough. Furthermor she does it alone. No crew, no editor, no director, just her. Compare that with the other channels! She has a degree in geology and know perfectly about mountains and caves. The best tourguide youe may ever wish for!

    Noraly I just became a owner of my dream bike a 40th anniversary GSA . Being a big fan of yours I was going to name her. I thought that I would name her after a famous explorer. Trying to find one that just felt right but I couldn't find one that would fit. Days of thinking and thinking and I had nothing. Then one day watching one of your videos it hit me like a rock. I have been watching a famous explorer. I named my bike in honor of you Noraly

      Same here, I don't understand how some people can appreciate such desolate landscapes (maybe I would visit South Africa, which has them all, mountains, desert, animals, beautiful beaches and cities, but that's it), but the information she offers and her nice personality definitely make it bearable even for a "green" lover.

      I'm a beach, the ocean with waves that are all different, never one exactly like it before and never will be again, they're here briefly and gone. I like the blues, greens, browns and grays, the white froth and the clear. To each their own but, I think the sense of wonder is the same. If there's something that does it for you, you like to see that excitement in others. I think with Noraly it's that, how alive she is and that she constantly reinforces the message that people are good. All of the information she shares and the way she does it kicks a persons quest for knowledge into high gear. All in all, we're better humans because of Itchy Boots.

First it seemed like a typical channel with motorbike videos but then I quickly realized that your channel is a treasure - a medium to view this amazing and colorful world through your simple and smooth filmography. I'm really grateful for that.
    And for this particular video, the word spectacular would describe it well. :)

    What an interesting place! I have never seen such a thing. Just as I was wondering to myself -"how does that happen..?" Noraly gives the explanation in terms I can understand. Then she shows both sides of the area - with water and without. I love the contrast, the beautiful landscapes while riding and the sense of space, so wide open and natural. The drone shots are the icing on the cake - stunning! What a great adventure Noraly. I love your joy in these places, it is clear that you truly love what you are doing!

      All of Namibias national parks do not allow motorcycles in. I can understand off road bikes being a problem, but adventure bikes would stay on the roads just like the cars do. They should make an exception for adventure/road bikes and just ban off road riding, maybe impose a hefty fine if someone does. They are excluding a large contingent of potential travellers from entering these amazing places.

      There is a parking lot near the dunes and what the guard said is not allowed to ride up to the parking area. There is no question of riding or driving on the dunes. The dunes are protected ares
