  • In this episode I explore one of the islands in the Saloum delta in Senegal. To get here with a motorcycle was not so easy, and so people are not used to seeing a foreigner on a motorcycle! Nevertheless, I was welcomed with open arms and meet tonnes of new people in this episode. What an incredible place, with incredible people..

    Here I teach all my filming techniques including getting drone shots while riding!

      People tend to forget that if you treat others reasonably they mostly do the same, or do better. It is always a minority, which are troublemakers and unreasonable.
      But you are right, if one only learns about different places from news stories. The logic about news is such that the bad news are more news worthy and have higher priority than the good news or news which describe normal life.

      It's by design. They have been telling lies about West Africa for over 50 years to keep everyone at bay so the French and the British would have all the recourses in there to themselves. Chinese has exposed them, that's why the skyline in Africa are changing rapidly. Hence, the hate towards China from these two countries.

    Hallo Noraly, Lucia hier. Ik volg je al een tijdje . Bedankt dat je mij meeneemt op de motorfiets naar al de fantastische landen. Ik kan het niet zo goed zien welke begroeiing er groeit op het strand van de eilanden. Maar ik weet dat in Suriname er ook landverlies was langs de zee. Dit is in samenwerking met de Anton de Kom Universiteit in Paramaribo tegen gegaan door massaal Mangrove planten in de grond te doen. Het houd de zee tegen en het is tevens voor zeedieren en andere fauna en flora een broedplaats. Zo krijg je een biodiversiteit en de bevolking kan met mate van leven. Ben erg nieuwsgierig naar jouw volgende belevenissen. Ik wens je gezondheid en succes toe. Veel groetjes uit Rotterdam. 🎉

    For any motor cycle, loose sand is difficult. Either the bike is too light, or too heavy. Nobby tires, with lower pressure, can help. We make our choices. I’m about ready to let my Road king go. I’ve ridden so far, so long, and getting tired. Noraly, you bring us much joy, so many adventures. I know that your long adventures come with significant sacrifices, family, friends, someone to love and support you. TH-cam comments can only give so much. You demonstrate a real independent nature though. I wish you much happiness, a safe and sound life. Thank you for sharing.

    are the brief things we hear about in the news.

    Truly amazing in every way. You have reached the end of the island and you find somebody that has made it his mission for 10 years to stop the beach errosion. And talk about riding skills. Take on a passenger to ride narrow bridges with no railings in most spots and pass within inches of donkey carts. As many of the comments have said; your willingness to learn the language, to smile at all you encounter makes people open their doors for you and they want to help you find your way.

    Wow...the landscapes change so drastically from episode to episode. It's fascinating.
    From endless deep sands to ocean wetlands almost overnight.
    Interesting free travel tip provided to us by our Noraly...if you plan to visit Africa, it's a good idea to speak some French.
    I was thinking this trip was not going to be as visually interesting as others, but I was completely wrong. It's as beautiful as any...

    National TV corporations hardly ever produce programes of this quality. The drone flight over the delta was amazing, I've never seen that area in any travel or nature documentary before, the same with the simple yet effective coastal erosion project.

    As has happened several times before, the river crossing of a PEDESTRIAN bridge shows the wisdom of riding a lightweight bike! (Courage still helps!) Tires: a harder compound could very well be the problem. So difficult to pack extras as with Basanti.....

    Google says the huge tree is from the genus Ceiba (SAY-ba) perhaps species pentandra (kapok tree). The boabab trees we've been seeing are genus Adansonia species digitata. Both trees are in the scientific family Malvaceae. While the boabab trees can be thousands of years old the Ceiba trees are more likely hundreds of years old. The Ceiba trees can grow 13 feet (4 meters) in one year. I relearned that genus and higher scientific names are capitalized and lower than genus is not.

    Seems so friendly there. Beach projects are needed in many places. There’s one place I go to at the Jersey shore that used to only flood during extreme high tides (not storm related). Now every high tide it floods. This change only took about five years. Now there’s a major rebuild going on. I’m learning a lot from you and Myron Cook about geology and ecosystems. Safe travels Noraly.🌲

    Noraly, You have this ability to take charge of all situations without the people knowing it. They come to you knowing what you are doing is good. Your showing the world all the goodness that is everywhere! I’m not great at explaining, people NEVER FIND YOU A THREAT. Just the opposite! Your smile your classic laugh! So good.❤️

    The shells are slippery because they are flat-ish plates sliding on plates? The vastness of this atmosphere to sea shell carbon storage is so huge and green and amazing. The beach-stabilizing project…inspiring. What a wonderful peaceful place! Thanks for two-wheel-pioneering through such an interesting delta.

    Fascinating video! An over-100-year-old man living on a remote island with family is wonderful to see; and the ongoing sand-recovery project is simple yet fantastic in its effectiveness. It seemed many people stared at Noraly as an unusual sight - now we know a motorbike is a rarity!😀

    Islands of Saloum delta with so many goats and shells. You are such a plain Jane among the colorfully garbed women of the islands. Love seeing you and the island from the drone is so special, thank you. New experiences with Alaska in the sand should help in future sand situations. Enjoyed the very long narrow bridge ride. Surprise meeting a cordial white Frenchman beach erosion mitigator. 👍 ❤

    Super Amazed !! Its pure good fortune for being able to see these Itchy Boots vlogs. I say so because the content is a story line of a journey into the unknown boldly . What we see in this part of Africa is something which one never expects to see. One hears the name Africa and the picture that flashes upon the screen of one's imagination is that of vast African bush plains with Zebras , Giraffes and other wild animals roaming around. But this isn't so and one gets to see something totally new. Hats off to you Noraly once more. Luck favours the brave , that's too so true for Noraly. She bumps into a frenchman and gets to see a project worth working for. As luck wud have it , people she meets are helpful n kind. God bless you
