Hello Noraly, Cabinda my hometown, the man on the border you were referring to is my brother, I showed him the video, he was very happy, blessings and good luck on this journey

So you speak Dutch, English, Spanish, French and Portuguese.. Plus entertain the masses.. Incredible lady 😃

Im a Zimbabwean based in South Africa, addicted to this channel! We explore vicariously through you. Your channel is a breath of fresh air!

You have my 82 year old mother hooked on your adventures. God Bless 🙌🏽

I've never been interested in motorcycling. And now, of all things, a motorcycling channel is one of the best youtube channels of all time for me. I am so happy to have discovered Itchy Boots. Noraly, your videos are so fascinating, highly interesting and exciting, and you show us that most people all over the world have a good heart. Take good care of yourself and please never stop making videos! ❤

Noraly’s smile when she realized she indeed was going to make it onto the ferry, PRICELESS 😁 Great job putting this episode together! I think we were all at the edge of our seats to see if you would make the ferry in time. Way to pull it off, Noraly! 👊🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Who needs Netflix? With Itchy Boots we get all the adventure, thrills and excitement, we might ever need!

I was in Luanda when this Ferry arrived from Damen Shipyards in Singapore . We were tasked in getting all the systems up and running and gave familiarisation training to the engineers and captains. There were lots of delays due to the landing berth at Soyo required dredging and a floating pontoon. I'm so glad to see this service between Cabinda and Luanda finally fully operational.

Happy valentine's day to Alaska, noraly & everyone tuning in hope you all have a lovely day ❤❤

Yet another video showing why Noraly is the perfect world traveler. 99.999% of the rest of humanity would have gone crazy with the run around and seemingly impossible complications. But Itchy Boots, just accepts it as another day. Amazing.

As a female biker in the U.S. who loves to travel alone (though it’s no comparison to African travel), I admire your spunk, skill, and trust. As an old lady in the U.S., I worry about you, especially when you admit you are traveling alone BUT you have proven yourself to be extremely self-sufficient. I only recently found you on UKposts so I have some catching up to do to see your prior adventures but I am very much enjoying your adventures in Africa. Safe travels!

We all could stand to be more like Noraly, brave and strong and kind and respectful of everyone and good humored. A true Shero!

I'm an African from Kenya. Ever since I discovered this Channel, I have never stopped watching. It's been some sort of a school where I learn about other African countries that I've never been to. It also makes me appreciate my country. You are welcome to East Africa whenever it will be possible for you to make it.

Amazing how the angolan policeman knows that Holland is actually a region of the Netherlands and not necessarily a synonym. The level of education in many countries is so much higher than what they want you to believe.

Angola 🇦🇴 is beautiful, and developed,you have taken me to parts of Africa i never knew,following from Kenya 🇰🇪.

As a sailor and adventurer born and raised in Africa, your adventure is breathtaking. You light up my day every episode. Fair winds and following seas, as the sailor says.

Arriving as a stranger, leaving as a friend, always with a smile and a kind word. What an ambassador of good will and humanity. Truly admirable (and enjoyable too).

I am never ceased to be amazed at how you handle all the confusion in border crossings, ferries, hotels, broken Alaska and everything in between. Thought it amusing when you were wondering if someone important was going over the border…of course someone important was passing…ITCHY BOOTS ! Glad all worked out and you got something good to eat in the end. Great video👍🏻

Epic journey my dear Noraly. Knowledge of Netherlands geography displayed by that policeman stole my heart. Love❤

Noraly, your ability to navigate and figure things out amazes me. You are obviously a special person.

This episode was a real thriller! The broken crane, the last-minute boat ride, the night riding and the support from kind people at the port made it one exciting adventure. I also enjoyed the Panama episode, a lot, but this is on a completely different level of awesomeness. I love how Noraly always manages to find a way, no matter what obstacles come her way. Itchy Boots is unstoppable!

It's insane how you handle such situations. Being able to film while riding fast, running around and still explaining the situation with calm words. You deserve an Oscar! :)

Your perseverance and ability to remain calm under stress is nothing short of miraculous! 😃

Hi Noraly, you’re such an inspiration! I’m a 70 years old woman from the Netherlands and because of a condition my brain is very fast overstimulated and I have to rest a lot. But thanks to your determination and bravery I can watch your adventures and meet with all the beautiful people of the world. You let me see that with the conviction: ‘Just do it,’ you can accomplish a lot! I send you all the love from Amsterdam. (Such a dull place in comparison 😂) ❤

The most amazing things is 15 minutes already 12k views that prove how amazing and exited it was... Happy Valentine's Day ❤🌹

Thanks for saving me the trouble of touring Africa. I feel like I’ve been riding beside you the entire way (while relaxing in comfort). I can’t wait for each new episode.

Querida Noraly, eu sou professora de História. Assisto seus vídeos, cada um deles, desde 2020. Sempre me vem a cabeça que você é uma exploradora contemporânea, e que seu legado será estudado no futuro, como um Vasco da Gama. Mas, agora, com toda o respeito e deferência que cada cultura merece.

Estou muito Feliz ❤ Bem-vinda em Angola🇦🇴👏🏾👏🏾I have been watching your journey since you entered Morocco 🇲🇦 . Welcome to Angola and hope you enjoy your journey ❤

Who else has been waiting for another Itchy Boots adventure? Much love to everyone and their families from Cedar City Utah!🥀🤠✌️🙏🏻💪🏻

Noraly, you always have your guardian angel with you. You have had such unbelievable good luck on your journeys. Roger with the chainsaw was totally random, and highly suggestive of a divine presence following you. May the following journeys have such providence in solving travel problems you may have. God Bless you brave lady.

You amaze me with your positive attitude in difficult situations and you usually pull through. Noraly, you an epitome of strength and hope, keep the fire burning. I am waiting to ride with you once again in your next video.😊

This blog teaches us, make us realize that anything is possible if you handle it with passion and determination. Salutations.

Your edits and narratives are beyond compare! I'd also like to acknowledge the research that you evidently do as regards to all the areas you intend to travel. The smoothness of your transitions between currencies and languages is very impressive as well. You are quite simply ONE OF A KIND! I love you and will follow you wherever you go!

Yes. “A little tricky” indeed! While you were racing around, breathing heavy and stressing, all of your subscribers watching were too. I realized that I was holding my breath at one point.😂 A testament to your Hitchcock-like skill in building suspense ;) Happy Valentine’s Day!❤

Better than any movie out there,. Your disposition is amazing being faced with the challenges you come across. I would not be so patient! Stay safe Noraly. Love this channel.

"Travel is not just a journey; it's a kaleidoscope of moments that paint the canvas of our memories, a symphony of cultures that plays in our hearts, and an exploration of self that reveals the true colors of our soul."

The correct term is Exclave as Cabinda is cut off externally by the DRC- an Enclave would be like Lesotho.. but I digress, forgive me, I love your adventures Noraly!😅

I am so glad you made it to Angola. As a Portuguese speaker myself is so cute to listen to you speaking in my native language. I can only hope one day you can venture again back in south America and ride all the missing parts of it. French Guinea, Suriname, Guinea, All of Brazil , Paraguay and Finally Uruguay. It is a good idea for a fully season with plenty of kilometres to ride it again, right? All the best for you Noraly. I am wishing and rooting for Alaska to gets a proper service as she desperately need it. She was relentless through the wild west Africa.

I'm glad you are aware driving at night. I was rising home on my bike and hit a drain and was thrown off and broke my entire face. Jaw, roof of mouth. Almost died. Best wishes and safe travels!

So happy on seeing Noraly speaking Portuguese! Greetings from Brazil!! ✌️😊

Even when things don;t go according to plans you seem to get get around the missteps all with a smile on your face. Thank you Noraly for the adventure of a lifetime in your travels.

Opens video sweating profusely from heat and humidity. Bad enough, then "sweating" making the boat due to many sequential challenges. Those that know Noraly can hear the tension in her voice. Something we don't hear often especially for this length of time. But Noraly comes shining through, because she stays focused maintaining a "cool" head in the "heat" of the process.....all on an empty stomach. The one and the only; Itchy Boots. Peace! ❤❤❤

Its hard to cement how difficult travelling the world is, proper stressful on a motorbike. Massive respect

The port staff's banter slightly increased Noraly's stress level, but after getting her realizing that she had received great help at the best possible moment, the man had a lifetime moment of basking in the glow of Noraly's famous smile. Noraly, you still glowed so beautifully at the end of wrapping up.

I love how you get all amped up and the anxiety starts peeking and when it works out your Face is Priceless with relief!! I did a lot of Traveling like this across the world when I was younger. I started at 17 going across The United States from California to New York. From New York I took a Ship to Spain and made my way across Europe through Ukraine to Russia then Through Kazakhstan into Mongolia and worked my way through China on my way to Thailand. Then from Thailand made my way all the way until I reached Singapore. It took me 2 year and 5 months and I gave my Motorcycle away to a friend I met in Singapore who was making his way to Europe. When he returned to The United States he gave my Motorcycle back to me when he Arrived at my House in California. I would love to do it again but unfortunately I am 58 years Old now and Disabled from a serious work related accident. Back when I did this there was no GPS Cell Phones or Internet and it was one hell of a adventure especially Traveling through Ukraine Russia and Kazakhstan. I think I made it through them because I was so Young and did not really pose as a threat LOL. But Kazakhstan was some serious Beautiful Country but some places were really Dangerous. When I hit the Russian Border I spent two days in a holding cell and questioned for hours even though I had my Visa. It was during The Cold War but when they realized I was just a wide eyed Teenager looking for adventure they gave me the proper papers to pass through to Kazakhstan.

One of those nervewrecking days while travelling around the world, but due to your awesome storytelling and editing skills, still managed to create an episode, which was 100% worth watching.❤

You really captured the stress of being in a time crunch, and your editing made all of those frenetic moments seamless.

An unusually reactive day today for our heroine Noraly, bouncing from point to point like in a pinball machine! However she showed her “metal” as always and survived another day. Wow this lady is tough!

Another HECTIC day in life of ItchyBoots! But, once again you get the objective DONE! I am in total awe of your ability to find your way thru all the logistics of international travel. Happy Valentines Day to the Queen on MotoTravel!💖💖💖 Best Wishes and Happy Trails 💖💖🏍🤠

Happy Valentines Day Noraly & Alaska. And thanks for the Angola welcome... Pretty hectic but all worth it. You are one determines lady. Hats off to you

Only your positive attitude with laughs & smiles with multi language skills has carried you so far across the whole African continent on a motorbike.amazing 😅

🇮🇹 Here WE are, folks! Gooood Afternoon, Noraly, Internet, sisters and brothers, let’s gooooo, as usual! 🇮🇹

Noraly your patient personality is what always enables you to overcome & advance. Yet another great video. Looking forward to your Sunday post.

Thankful you made it safely!!! Prayers for continued safe travels ❤

I wanted to cheer when you made it on not just a cargo boat, but a nice one! I can't wait for your tour in daylight, but you made it safely and got something to eat. You're so brave and you find the good in people! Such an inspiration, Noraly!

Noraly your resourcefulness, adaptability, resilience and ability to cope in stressful situations is remarkable. And, you're still able to create a great story line along with a fabulous video that keeps us all hooked. You're phenomenal! Just love your channel - and, I'm not "into bikes" at all - just a curious, adventure junkie who loves great stories! 👌👍😉

This is one of my favorite videos. I love the logistics of traveling, so getting to see that play out was really enjoyable.

All I can say is WOW! Just WOW! You rock Noraly.

Oh my gosh, we took that exact same cargo boat (Secil Maritima) with our overland 4x4 (their offices are not at the main port building in Cabinda, but they are in the main building in Soyo)) super nice guys on the boat. We came from Soyo to Cabinda after waiting a few days, then suddenly big rush! We also sat in that little office waiting for someone to release our vehicle on the Cabinda side, as we didn't realise we had to go to another office in town. Lou helped us so much as we met him at the port in Soyo 2 days before sailing, and he gave us his number and messaged us when the boat was leaving, as the boat crew are really the ones who know the sailing times. Super super nice guy. I have Lou's number if anyone else needs it! We were also the only passengers. I am so excited to watch your journey. Make sure you go out to red rocks (Canyon) when you get further south. Shame you cannot camp out there as it is stunning at sunset and sunrise., but a nice manageable ride on Alaska. There are so many incredible wild camping spots in Angola. Check out the ship wrecks on the coast as you head south. There are great view points from cliff tops along the way, and nice picnic camping spots. Also Calendula Falls is beautiful and a wonderful scenic drive with lots of stunning Baobab trees along the way. I am amazed you managed to talk to us whilst racing around in a rush and stressed out. Soyo is such a busy port town too and we had to wait for ages in the hot sun for the ATM as no one would change our US$!

You don't need a thumbs up!! You deserve a medal!! Well done as usual, unbelievable. God is your companion. Thank you so much. Fantastic

Superb Noraly! You made it. Happy to see you happy!

ALWAYS a delight to watch these adventure videos!!! Way to go, Noraly!!!

I discovered this channel as she had 260 k Follower, and now more then 2,1 Million...just so amazing, there is no other Biker out there, who give the UKposts Community such an authentic perspective in other cultures, cities & National parks like Noraly....hopefully her journey will never end, and i Hope one day we will see some Videos from Saudi Arabia & Oman 😁.

Dear Norely, (or "Not really", as my wife pronounce it 😅), you have my absolute greatest respect. I have travelled for many years, and I am now living in Portugal. Coming from Denmark, I simply hate bureaucracy, and get too annoyed dealing with it, as I grow older. My wife comes from a war ridden land, and has experienced more than her fair share of war related crimes and brutal violence against her people, so she will only accept that we travel inside the EU these days. I get my wanderlust for more exotic places satisfied through you. I couldn't do half of what you're doing, though! You're absolutely amazing!!!😮

How do you manage to stay calm and still smile even with a lot of adversities right in your face , I just admire you so much

Noraly you're just amazing... after all you've already went through. The way you still hang on and continue despite the challenges... speaking english, french, spanish, portugese, dutch, ... smiling to everyone on your path is such a pleasure to see. Good luck for the following adventures!

Now that I'm through with all your episodes, I caught up to the actual one. By the way, your summary of season 6 when you arrive in Deadhorse is a masterpiece. Hats off!

Excellent production. Better entertainment and education than 99% of what Hollywood delivers.

As always, I am in total awe of you and your stamina. Just amazing! Cheers.

I've been watching your videos for quite some time, They are excellent! After watching this I started planning a trip across Southern Africa. I love how you plan everything and how you face the challenges on the road. You probably make an impact in a lot of people's lives. Thanks for your channel and i will wait for the next episode!

In terms of capability Noraly truly is a superwoman. I don't think any of us mere mortals could have pulled this off.

Watching Noraly’s channel has been my turning point 😊😊

Your positive attitude is amazing, I look forward to every video and enjoying your journey

Your tenacity never wavers and your adventure can be hectic at times. but it is what keeps us all coming to see what is next. I love your big smiles when things are going well and you take the ups and downs in stide. You Rock!

It’s great that you made that ferry! Very good that you made it to Angola and bypassed the DRC. The hotel search had to frustrating, but you found a nice place. Ride safe Noraly!

I first saw your video from the river near Afghanistan (this appeared in the ytb list of recommendations to see) and I really liked your travel style, filming and editing style so I decided to take it from your first video to see them all, but I also see in parallel what you are currently posting. I admire your courage to travel through such a tense country as Nigeria. please forgive my language, but you have bigger balls than many men. I appreciate your positivism. good luck in the future, good roads without unpleasant events and with wonderful landscapes.

Noraly, your resilience is what keeps me going through this journey with you, when you really think it’s not going to happen you manage to pull through. Love from South Africa.

It's unbelievable how you go past all these obstacles. I learn a lot from you. You are an inspiration to me. Have a good trip Noraly... Groeten uit the Netherlands.

Sigh. 😍 She's my hero. Her strength, resolve and passion for adventure are unparalleled. Ride Safe Noraly. Paint up, rubber down, knees in the breeze.

I never doubted for a moment that Noraly could miss the ferry. When all the stars are aligned, good things happen to good people. 👌🏼❤️

Clear skies and good environment in Angola. I am just smiling because of the joy you have after boarding the ferry.

I'm proud of you Noraly, being a woman you make me super, super proud. Your bravery is astonishing 😮 I have subscribed of course ,I have started going through all your videos You make women proud !!! 😊

Itchy Boots going through hell just for fun! What an adventure! Thanks for bringing us along!! Just wow, amazing what you have accomplished!!!

Cannot wait to see you ride through the East of Africa, most especially Kenya, and see how your journey goes. All the best Nolary

You did excellent job putting together this video under the circumstances. Well done. Stay safe. Thanks so much for sharing. Can’t be said enough!!! Best, Jim

Incredible work! Both with handling everything and getting everything done but also turning it into an amazing video! Great content as always.

Itchy Boots is always a challenging journey, always be careful on every journey, I hope you always have a safe journey

Happy Valentine's Day Noraly. This video was Just fine. It captured a very important aspect of a foreigner negotiating with the local culture while offering a glimpse of the logistics involved in getting from one place to another. There was some scenery of the exact area, so it was very well worth it. And Noraly, you are what makes your videos. It's so great to see YOU and hear your personality. Thank you ! ben/ michigan

Noraly, your editing skills are impressive. It takes a lot of concerted effort to make the timing of the changes between the various cameras on a timely basis, and you seem to do it flawlessly. Almost like you have a back channel review team co-ordinating it all, but it seems more likely that you're all up to the task. To repeat: "Impressive!"

Noraly wat een avontuur, zoveel verschillende landen,ben zelf verleden jaar met de auto van Amsterdam naar Senegal gereden,let op jezelf en veel succes,blijf je volgen 😊

Can't wait for the journey through East Africa... mostly Kenya🇰🇪

Noraly You have been able to overcome all the adversities to arrive to your destination. It's incredible your ability to convince people that you haven't met in your life to help and guide you. Eventually you are going to have to take Alaska to a mechanic and have her checked out. May your journey be pleasant through Angola. Keep safe.

Noraly it's wonderful seeing you make your passage across the way joy made it safely to a place to rest much peace safe travels 😊👍.

this channel really helps put my travel woes into perspective

This is one your best Itchy! An old Army expression is to eat when you can eat because you just never know when you have the opportunity to eat again.

I was almost certain this episode was going to be a cliffhanger with Noraly frantically riding around on Alaska looking for a hotel room to stay the night. Thanks to the heavens I was not correct. The people working at the ferry ticketing area looked kindly upon Noraly. Excellent episode cool😎

Awesome video, Noraly! What a journey! Glad you made it.

Sometimes life is just a pain.We all have one of those days.Of course Noraly does it with her ususal flair, good humor and flahing theat trademark brilliant smile!
