- In this episode, my plan was to make one last loop through the mountains of Malawi. But the road is tough and my plans take a few turns during this day...

You should be awarded an honorary Good Will Ambassador title. Through your travels and TH-cam channel you show how wonderful, friendly, generous and genuine the people of the world are. Amazing content. Thank you.
Ditto!!!
Better than any UN special envoy
Well said friend. :)
For real though. We (the dutch) should be nominating her for knighthood - if Noraly has positive feelings towards the monarchy, that is lol. Knight in shiny MX armor!
Sure
The drone shot with the family on the bridge made me cry for some reason. So beautiful.
Same here. Also can't explain why. Somehow moving. Lovely!
Uśmiech tych ludzi na moście bezcenny. Dziękuję
yup - cool - thought it was just me
Brought tears to my eyes too...tears of happiness. Thank you, Noraly❤🎉
I totally agree the drone footage was spectacular!
Kudos to the teacher, he did not '' blame " the goverment but convinced his students to give a hand in fixing the road. What a lesson in diplomacy and self help !
Noraly, you and that teacher are cut from the same cloth ! Kudos to you !
Yeah, that’s a cuddly version unfortunately. The reality is that the ‘government’ will be counting their millions while they allow the country to go to ruin. The truth hurts as they will one day find out.
I notice that, and he was very confidence ❤
They are both doers, not takers! Thank you for recognizing this trait.
the teacher certainly knows that he can't expect anything from the government, but he wrapped it up nicely in the conversation
It's funny that wherever Noraly stops even a little bridge in the middle of nowhere within 5 min a friendly crowd turn up.
Yes, that has been a common occurrence while in Africa!😁
If there is one thing that has been a given in all of Africa…there is no shortage of technical trails for our adventurer. I can’t imagine how tired Noraly must be at the end of every day…whether riding or doing logistics, paperwork sorting, and the mass amounts of work that goes into making a video for all of us to enjoy. Thank you Noraly!
Yes, exactly!
Just another day at Noraly’s office!🤪
Yes, Noraly is truly an amazing lady, and I thank her very much for sharing these EXCELLENT videos with us!! ❤❤🙏🙏😊😊
Any Schools?
She has an Acency doing her logistics and editing her videos. You Tube is a big earner these days thats why so many people are vlogging their travels.
This world would have been a better place if a fraction of people saw the world the way Noraly sees it. She is the most humble and gracious woman, and people in the remotest parts of the world respond to her in the same way.
Well said
She carries a powerful grace a potent DNA... She is what the Hausas of west Africa describe as one that have "Farin Gini" (White/Pure Blooded) I tap into your grace and anointing in Jesus name ❤❤ Amen 🙏
Yes, if we can only achieve a small amount of what Noraly has, we can make this world a lot better place, so let's all try ❤
Yeah bill, sure, I've been watching normally for ages and she doesn't do anything interesting nor nightlife. I've ridden all her pathways for decades but had a festive.
@@Lee_Proffit
I have, but hell I enjoyed myself more. She just rides and sleeps
FOR THOSE OF You that dont ride a motorcycle, it takes great strength and stamina to ride a bike on these wer, washed out, rocky roads. I can only ride mine for about 2.5 hours in this type of terrain before my limbs become noodles and all my arm strength is depleted. You have to work up to this many hours of riding. This makes Noraly one amazing rider!
well, she have years of experience riding like this. thats why her body can endure this.
not to mention skill and courage too, but they are the norm for this Lady.
Kenyan here
Noraly is notably a very friendly person and depicts Africa very well especially our hospitality and kindness
But most especially it’s your approach that we appreciate and teaches us a lesson or two on patience and zeal when she finds herself in tricky situations
Karibu 🇰🇪
What lovely people. Just look at all those smiles when they rescue Noraly from the mud!
Agree, the most friendly I met on the gold mines in South Africa.
Malawians are the most friendly people in Africa. 😅
Beautiful people
@@denisecarrick5220 There are friendly and unfriendly people everywhere.
They all seem to enjoy helping Noraly regardless of the situation!
The reason it's so enjoyable to watch your videos is because you never complain. Road is terrible, you pass it with a smile on your face. That's incredible.
Probably why it turns out okay. I guess we're all supposed to learn something from this.
It's called a bike ride. We all do it
Noraly applies the fundamentals of off-road riding and her track appears effortless at times when in reality, it’s a very difficult ride. She has gained a lot of skills over the years.
This is why Noraly is so warmly welcomed and assisted. She was mud-stuck and several men came to her assistance. She was out and rolling and could have ridden away. But the first thing she did was come to a stop to thank them and ask about their work or their school and engage in a conversation with them.
That little Honda is amazing!! You are amazing.
It's all you fault Noraly, lol. At the young age of 75 you inspired me after street riding for over 50 years to get an ADV bike. I bought a used Honda CB500X with all the modifications already done to make it more dirt worthy:). Rallye Raid suspension, wire wheels, bark busters, bash plate and much more. Took a dirt riding class two weeks ago. Thanks so much for the inspiration and taking us all on such an incredible journey!
You don't stop riding because you get old. You get old because you stop riding.
🏍️🏍️🏍️
She was an inspiration for me too. Got myself a little moto to my 60. birthday. Female solo riding in Central America. Thanks to Noraly!
Living the dream! Determined to do the same at 65!
@@whiskeytuesdayBeen telling all
my friends who quit riding that exact same quote!
You will love the CB500X! Great choice of a bike. I bought a 2021 model nearly a year ago and I've loved every minute of riding it.
Noraly you're wearing the most powerful weapon on your face which's your SMILE😊, with love from South Africa.
The fact that you stopped to share the drone experience shows your a true spirited traveller and a class act.
Tanzania 🇹🇿 my beloved Country.Enjoy the beauty and hospitality of the good people of Tanzania.
I'm so proud to call Africa my home. You really have shown the real side of Africa and how wonderful and helpful the people are. True Ubuntu! Karibu sana Tanzania 🇹🇿
Yes, this is what Ubuntu looks & feels like! All the people united in good will.
No Ubuntu. Just Palestinian.
@@collinsoconnor5843 Closer to home Congo and Sudan
Noraley. You give the world hope. An adventure that tries to stay on the side of positive. Showing us places we could never see otherwise.
Our world is amazing. With hot coffee, I watched this episode 15 minutes after it was posted. Now I share and enjoy comments from around the world. Amazing. I am in Milwaukee, Wisconsin U.S.A.
@@RobertCrawford5017 I agree . From Newfoundland Canada myself.
@@RobertCrawford5017 Johannesburg, South Africa 🇿🇦👋👋
from Albuquerque, New Mexico. Noraly's video adventure scenes are the best world travelouge ever!
From Appleton, WI
It’s so heartwarming to see the locals gathered around Noraly as she amazes them with her grit and determination. Watching the locals standing around while she flew the drone really made my day, week, month……..
Noraly commences the day with a bug in her tea then goes on to ride across wild terrain, meets people and spreads happiness, crosses a border and ends the day with a smile. Awesome!
A bug? No problem and not a big deal for Noraly...
I’ll throw the water and start fresh.
Noraly always finds the best roads. I Love how you are always laughing and giggling through the hardships. Others would be swearing and cussing up a storm. You are the most unique woman I have ever observed, may your journeys always be filled with laughter and Joy. Blessings and prayers. 🙏🙏🙏
laughing and giggling is a known release of anxiety.
"Others would be swearing and cussing up a storm."
That is why this is the ONLY motorcycle riding channel I watch.
Certainly doing a better job using her clutch than the mud after Liberia!
Noraly is the true meaning of a woman of steel. Great display of perseverance. Journey well Noraly.
Africa has to be one of the safest places in the world. Noraly is the most courageous woman in the world. She goes where nobody will ever consider to go.
I admire your sense of adventure. You make rough and hostile terrains look like a walk on the beach. I love watching your vlogs. Awesome
For all of my fellow Itchy Booters let's get inspired by our intrepid adventurous Noraly and fight for our lifes and dreams. Everything is possible if you have faith in yourself. Don't subestimate our capacities. We can overcome nearly everything. God bless you immensely. 🙏
I loved the guys comment " THE ROAD IS NOT COMPLETELY FINISHED"
I did not hear that; that is funny.
"The road is just completely finished" -> There is barely any road to speak of, and it is barely motorable.😅
The comments shud have read, aii but we thought it should last forever. Blacks just can't think maintenance
...and gone 🤔
I laughed out loud when he said that……..
Excellent places through out the journey, lush green and water every where. But, for the roads it was bashing for Alaska. Horrible!!. The drone shot was wonderful. Every where there are people to help you when in trouble. You are so lucky!!.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I can't decide if my favorite moment in this was when you met the technical college students or you met the family on the bridge and showed them the drone and took photos. And once again, you rode a road I could never ride - sheesh!
Noraly is the #1 motorcycle ambassador in the world!!
True (sorry Charly Sinewan!!) ❤
and african ambassador too!
Yes you are right! Noraly is the Ambassador of Motorcycle Adventure Travel!
The people on the bridge "were full of amazement." I think that describes most of us after watching an Itchy Boots episode. What a tough track to tackle especially after what appeared to be something less than a 'breakfast of champions.'
It brought me smiles to see the technical college students in the middle of Africa.
Extraordinary...you always manage to bring such joy and share how truly genuine, generous and beautiful all the people you meet are...mutual respect...so moving and overwhelming...congratulations to your hard hard work and dedication...another outstanding video ...THANK YOU and safe travels Miss Noraly
Welcome to Tanzania....
Some swahili words to get you by
Habari ya asubuhi- Good morning
Hujambo (habari yako )- how are you
Waenda wapi ( welekea wapi) - where are you going
Hapa ni wapi - where is this place
Kwaheri - Good bye
Ahsante - thank you
Note * this is standard swahili ( kenyan dialect)
Amazing how Norally, no matter what situation, will come in contact with the most beautiful people offering kindness and assistance . What a pleasure to see each country being traveled.
it's amazing how Alaska holds up in that ruggd terrain! just keeps trucking on!You too Noraly!
Noraly and Alaska were definitely meant for each other!
You manage to capture images with the drone that fill us with happiness and nostalgia at the same time, you never complain and continue enjoying good and bad roads and kind people giving their best.
I just can’t understand how the “ almost impassable “ track is shown on your Sat Nav as a rout at all. You are an amazing human doing what you are doing and videoing such outstanding programs for us mere normal beings to be in our normal homes and watch in awe what you are doing! ❤❤ By far the best travel series ever produced and no back up team involved at all. Heartfelt Thankyou Noraly. Super human! Xx
“almost impassable“ track ... and still shows up as the only/best option. She is living the dream ❤
Poor Alaska got a bashing again today. She is such an amazing motorcycle with the most amazing driver!
After all the thousands of miles it’s great to see that Noraly still finds it fun to ride these difficult roads. ❤️
How many times people just seem to be right where you are when you need help most just proves your kindness always comes back to you. Another lovely video.
Every video. I am amazed at your can do attitude and your friendly engagement with everyone you meet. Youre a real gem and you show that so many people out there are as well.
🇮🇹 Here WE are, folks! Gooood Afternoon, Noraly, Internet, sisters and brothers, let’s goooooo, as usual! 🇮🇹
Have a great day Stefano 🤠
Watching from the Philippines..
Noraly, Noraly..!! Fantastic video👏👏👏. When the problems arrived Noraly is ready for them and she never said no I can't. Bravo 🏍️🏍️🏍️
Is 7am in Washington US
Have a good night sir!
Hi Stefano, hope your mom is recovering from her fall?She is a very grand lady. Enjoy your afternoon in beautiful Milan.
To see all the smiles and joyness of amazement when you fly that drone was a moment so pure and genuine that should be frozen in time to remember forever. And a big shout out to the boys that helped you out, putting their hands and shoes in the mud to rescue you. Good hearted , humble and pure people like we witnessed in this episode it's like a gem in our days. ❤
I agree your country should put you as an ambassador for the United Nations. Your ability to communicate with people of all over the world is amazing. No matter where you go, you shine, the African people seem to identify and respect your courage and ability.
Nothing nicer than a smooth ride after a great bugfast...I mean breakfast.
After watching Noraly go through all these countries, I think of this. When Europe and United State gives money to help these countries, they should send less money and instead send equipment to fix and maintain the roads. It would help the people and not go into the pockets of the leaderships.
This is what armies could help with , bring equipment and army personnel and rebuild these roads.
Double edge sword, with accessibility a consumer society will come and wreak havoc on flora and fauna!
Two things that are true:.. roads (some) are bad no question...but Nolaly doesn't necessarily follow the main roadways.
She chose the most adventurous road to make most impressions. It's not lack of paved road, it's just what she chooses.
That all will end up in the pockets of some corrupt officials.
When they cooked some chips for your meal, they cooked it on a Kenya Ceramic Jiko. That's an charcoal stove with an insulated lining that uses 1/3rd less charcoal than an all metal one. I worked on that at the Kenyatta University Appropriate Technology Centre in the 1980s. It looks like it has got to Tanzania.
Hey, I can use that! Very cool
we have it in most homesteads in Uganda 😃
These days are also made locally in each country. I knew a guy who made them in our neighbourhood,Tanzania 🇹🇿
@@kassimdinno I ran a training course for stove technicians from across eastern and southern Africa in the 1980s.
@@DavidNewmanDr Well done! It's great to see your innovation has spread across the continent
Seeing how lovely people are everywhere around the world really makes me smile and restores my faith in humanity. Another great video, Noraly!
One thing about Africa is that we have some of the most beautiful places. This drone shot is just amazing. Wow, thank you for taking a little more time in Malawi. You should come back and spend two weeks exploring the whole of Malawi. When you are done with the tour, please continue to create content showing the world about Africa.
👏👏👏
Great job on what you've accomplished!
Noraly, since I follow this trip of yours through Africa, I am having THE BEST OPINIONS about Africans, they are cordial, they collaborate, they suffer from the conditions they face, a great great great people... they really move me, many greetings and have a good trip!!!!
The relationship between Zambia, Malawi and Tanzania it's so perfect than any other no wonder boarder crossing for its citizens it's so smooth
We're a sicilyan family and we live at the foot of Etna volcano🌋. We really admire your happy mood, your optimism, your tenacity, your sunshine mood during your difficult travels. Kindly regards🤗
Being able to experience your journey is my antidepressant. Thank you very much for your freedom videos, you courageous and free woman 😀
Yes Noraly provides medicine no pharmacy can. Peace!
The world should applause you norly for your good ambassador work you are doing, letting the world knows how other lives and their culture ❤
Noraly's storytelling and adventures immerse us in the beauty of the world. Riding those crazy roads is just one part of her amazing adventure; the other is the wonderful people she meets along the way! And a shoutout to the Malawi people who have to navigate those difficult roads daily.. legends, really strong people!
Love your adventures. You keep me on the edge of my seat.I traveled up and down the east coast of the USA across upper New York state around the Great Lakes through Michigan then all points south through the Shenandoah Valley back to Miami three times in a two years period. I rode as passenger behind my husband (RIP Jerry). That was in the 1970's. I absolutely loved those days.
I love seeing that excited smile at the beginning of your day .
Took my bike out yesterday for a few hours along nice paved roads of Nova Scotia. Got home and needed a nap. Anyone who rides truly knows what a strong person Noraly is. 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Ha, yes, I'm with you there..I've seen comments on here that seem to think that she rides for 25 minutes just twice a week...!
@@bogey149it’s funny someone might think that, eh. She shows us on the map. I lived in Africa for 3 years and have been to many of the countries that’s she ticking off. It’s crazy how far she’s gone considering the conditions.
It is 8 AM here in the Rockies of United States. Watching Itchy Boots before heading out for work. Your TH-cam video postings of your trip in Africa are truly captivating. I am also amazed and happy to see how Africans from the North, West, and Central Africa have been welcoming, VERY HELPFUL when you needed help and friendly too!
Veilige Reis, Noraly!
Wow it's 17:18 PM here in South Africa, am about to go home from Work... Enjoy your day...
I love that you're showing the local people how their land looks like from a drone.
Noraly’s skill at climbing over massive rocks with both feet up is exceptional.
your bravery is incredible. i really hope History channel gets a hold of you. thank you Angel Noraly to give us moments of happiness and awes.
I have to agree, the drone shots of Itchy on the bridge with the people was wonderful. Another great video!
Watching you navigate those rocky roads was so nerve wracking my heart rate was through the roof 😳 Noraly you are an absolute legend.
Welcome to Tanzania Noraly.
I am very excited to see that you are visiting my country because I was worried you might not. As a Tanzanian, I wish you a very pleasant journal and hope you will come out with only good news about my country.
Their idea of a finished road isn’t like ours. And we complain about potholes. Always amazing how you fine help when you need it. You are truly watched over. ❤😊
Noraly, you sacrifice all your time and life to make us view the world in reality. Simple and difficult adventures, you don't give up! Thank you, God bless you!
She needs to be awarded an all African passport well done itchy boots your STAR ♥️
The good hearts 💞 of the locals defeated those cruel rocks across the road... The melody of the engine for Alaska is very fun and gives a lot of enthusiasm to continue 😍, but the beautiful smile of Noraly, as usual, breaks the boredom that we live in our routine life... Thank you very much Ma'am, we love you🥂
You killed it once again Noraly. That road is a test for the most skilled of riders which you are among. Wonderfully scenic country and beautiful people.
I can't wait for Itchy Boots the Movie. It would be an epic 7,000 hour adventure movie and take a full year to watch from start to finish.
You showed me an Africa that I didn’t know existed. I thought it was all flat and dusty and some people say dangerous but you have proven it. Totally the opposite wonderful people thank you so much,Noraly
Those roads, wow. You win the iron butt award for navigating that. Love from 🇺🇸.
Well done!! Team Alaska and Itchy Boots conquered the rocky roads, AGAIN!! Don’t know which is worse, mud or rocks?? Either way, they both get an equal amount of giggles!! Itchy Boots always makes it fun!! Fantastic drone scenery thanks to drone pilot!! Great to see locals having fun with it too! Yay! Welcome to Tanzania! Can’t wait to see another country! Let’s go, Itchy Boots! Show us some more!! Cheers from Texas USA❤❤
As Noraly motorbike through Africa, her infectious warmth and kindness leave a trail of smiles in her wake. Strangers become fast friends, drawn in by her friendly nature. It's a quality that reminds me of a childhood song we learned in school - one that encouraged us to lend a helping hand and respect our elders. Noraly embodies that same spirit of love and acceptance, transcending borders and backgrounds as she pedals her way across the continent. “Karibu Tanzania” which means “Welcome to Tanzania” in Swahili 🇹🇿🇹🇿
The reaction from the family on the bridge seeing the drone fly 😢 backed with video fotage display on the controller is exceptionaly emotional and made me miss my village life which still is exgraved in my heart....large vasts of land without borders and a very cooperating and generous community in our village back then.Harvest time was sharing time.🥺🥺 Am emotional
I'll bet your glad you decided to bring all your luggage on this leg of the journey! That drone footage was amazing! Alaska and you are troopers of the highest order. Thank you Noraly!
Noraly…you are an absolute wonder! That road! 😅 Alaska and you make a great team! That bug in your tea…”you don’t belong here” as you scoop it up in your spoon! It is amazing when you get stuck, people always appear to help you! You are being watched over, for sure! 😇. Thank you for showing us the kinder side of the world! 👍💕🌷🐻
i’m absolutely staggered that your wheels, tyres, inner tubes and suspension have all held up through these really rough rocky areas!!
Yes it is amazing she has never had a flat tire on Alaska in 66,400km through horrid terrain. No accident though, Noraly makes good choices on tires when she has the option and does an excellent job with tire pressure management and picking her lines through rough stuff. Rocky terrain on a loaded bike is a high pinch-flat risk.
For sure Noraly...you are an Ambassador! Very calm and very positive! You've made us realize that we need only love and understanding of one another and enjoy nature in it's diversity to be happy on this world. Nothing else matters. One can find happiness anywhere
Noraly, Noraly 👏👏👏. Fantastic video. When problems arrived Noraly is ready for them. She never said no to them. Bravo 🏍️🏍️🏍️
"Escape the Ordinary because the world is yours to Eplore, thank you for another exciting episode. Noraly you are simply amazing. ❤❤❤
Alaska and Itchy...What a great combination today on those crazy rocky roads in Malawi! Very helpful people and the awe on the faces of the locals when you first sent up the drone was so cool! Welcome to Tanzania! I am really looking forward to your continuing adventures there!
Always your videos renew the beauty of the land and the good grace of people. You are an ambassador of the Earth.
So cool that the people on the bridge got to see their homes and fields from above! I'm familiar with drones, and I also find them amazing.
Wow Noraly as an old retired bike rider you must be exhausted after getting through those rocky washouts. I remember travelling through hundreds of kilometres of central Western Australia in the 1980s on a Yahama XT350 & my arms would be "burning" after some of the rocky sections. I think those people on the bridge will have a lifelong memory of how where they live looks from the sky. It is this type of interaction between different cultures that brings the human family closer together more than any slick talking politicians & diplomats can rarely do.😮
Beautiful. I look forward to the drone use during your travel. I can imagine the unforgettable joy and amazement experienced by the locals who joined you on that road. Great job. Keep on keeping on.
It’s been a treat to watch Norally drive through in Africa more so for me as I am on a holiday presently in the US with my children who have started watching along with me
Thanks Norally for kindling the adventure sprit in my children as they have age on their side
Good luck in Tanzania and we are waiting
Having watched a few of these videos the thing that I get from them is this:"you laugh at the difficulties", you don't make a face and curse.
And that's no easy to do. I am trying to follow Noraly's lead in these kind of circumstances and its not easy but am learning. Peace!
@@jasonzerbini2375 A couple of million dollars will always make it easier.
I wish I got paid for my troubles when I got stuck in East Africa.
If you listen carefully, you will notice she actually does think their poepalls and knows their backward. Just can't do that, this makes money and loves you guys
@@user-qe1tv1bu2f Your comment makes no sense, I'm assuming English is not you're first language?
I love Africa. Born and raised there...and miss it so! You bring all of it to my heart with your adventures...amazing ride on this one..grueling roads..awsome people..love the school help on the road repairs !!! Thanks for filling my heart with joy!
Everywhere you go the people are so friendly. It must have been so comfortable for travelling alone. Thank You for a wonderfully well done series. Jim and Harriet 👍👍
That drone footage shows how resourceful the people of Malawi are in farming the forest. And you can tell it's all unmechanized and done by hand. But if I were ever to take a trip thru Malawi, I'd do it with a Caterpillar bulldozer and make my own road as I go.
“Mijn hemel” 😉😀geweldig dat je in zo een situatie je moedertaal spreekt. Was quite a ride,but you managed. You go girl❤️
Yes, I would have skipped breakfast 😂
Well, I like bread & peanut butter.
Mad respect for a woman on a bike tackling the challenges of some very rough roads. Another good one!!
Father of two daughters. I tell them to, “Make it good”. And they do. One is an English professor in East Tennessee . One is a RN in central Texas. Noraly reminds me…she goes out in the world everyday and makes it good, better because she was there. Thank you for sharing this…from East Tennessee.
...your best shot should be memorable!
I had a friend from Malawi when we were both at The London College of Printing in London. I have never met since such a calm, pleasant, decent young man like him in my life.
I love the transition between the intense focus on rocks and mud to the drone shots of the paradise that surrounds Noraly. Another great episode.
Yes the scene selection that makes the cut for video from a days events is phenomenal, and one of many qualities that put her so far above everyone else in cinematographic content. She is a talented artist....among many other things. Peace!
Noraly is indeed far better than anyone else that shares these experiences. Her work is amazing and she certainly deserves her 2.3 million subscribers!
Dear Noraly, I really admire your tenacity. These rocky road conditions are really tiring and yet you soldier on. Love your encounter with all these friendly people and how you interact with them.
I know that it is a bit time consuming, but the segments when you show drone footage are, in my not very humble opinion, the best!! Excellent stuff Noraly x
Itchy Boot's Rocky Road Rally in Malawi! It should be a tradition, lol. Love it when you get to interact with the locals like the collage kids and the family on the bridge learning about drones. Now you get to learn some Swahili. Happy trails!
