I’m from Angola and I discovered how beautiful my country is because of you, thank you. ❤️❤️❤️

Two strangers met in an isolated rainy African forest; all you see is their smile and good wishes to each other; there is still hope for the rest of us who live in fear and hate of each other..

My little daughter was startled, turned back and said "shes coming to Zambia? You are welcome to Zambia please pass through our home!! In Kabwe.

It needs a lot of courage to do such travels and record them,you are brave lady keep it up,want to see more of beautiful Africa .

As Angolan, I must say you have chosen the toughest routes to travel in Angola. But was good to see some unfamiliar places and remote places to me. You are a brave woman!

22:34 I’m sure you were as frightened as I’ve seen you because of the thunder and lightning, however I questioned the wisdom of seeking safety within the trees as they are kind of a lightning rod. But such are the hazards of adventure riding like you do. Happy to see that you’ve found a roof over your head for the night. Your mood certainly improved with those beautiful skies as you moved away from the storm, mine too ! Take good care, Noraly, can’t wait to see how you fare in the next video ,…❤❤❤Rick

Firstly, all the Angolan people that Noraly has come across are so helpful, friendly and polite. I’m definitely going to visit one day from South Africa. And secondly, Noraly, you have such good manners - saying thank you to every person who helps you and chatting to people you encounter. If everybody was like Noraly the world would be a better place 💙

This level of bravery is insane for a woman. You are a rare Gem Noraly

If nothing else, Noraly's travels remind me that most people are basically good, and our media only likes to show and report the negatives, which is really not the norm. You are a wonderful person, Noraly!

You are a strong, courageous and very determined lady. May God guide and protect you always.

I am so glad I found your channel- it’s like being on the adventure of a lifetime with you! You are so brave!!

Happy women's day and god bless you. Appreciate your guts and passion. 👏Stay safe and healthy.

We are organizing three tours this year to showcase Angola and invite visitors to the country. Thank you, Noraly, for helping us promote Angola.

This woman takes the word "remarkable" to another level. I have followed Noraly for several years and her courage, determination, and kind spirit are truly exemplary. I have traveled the world-over but all of my experiences pale in comparison to this amazing Dutch Geologist.

I'm originally from Huambo in the Central Highlands, a remote location you probably haven't visited. While taking a route directly to Zambia from there might have been quicker, that shortcut wouldn't have captured the true spirit of the journey. Lightning is no joke! I vividly remember an incident from 1984 when a woman was struck by lightning. It's a powerful force that deserves respect. I was impressed by your time in Kazombo and your command of basic Portuguese. Kazombo has great potential for future development as a provincial capital. Your journey likely continues to Njimbe, and if you have the chance, I highly recommend visiting Mwinilunga Secondary School, my alma mater. I attended the school in 1983. Mwinilunga, Zambia is also known for its incredible pineapples, some of the best in the world! If you get the chance, please try them and give them a shout-out in your video. Following your adventure from Europe has been fascinating; it's made me feel like I want to go back home. Wishing you all the best and continued safe travels!

Girl you have guts!!! Respect ❤

As a veteran of high altitude mountains with lots of experience with lightning I can say that you were perfectly safe on the road on your bike. In fact, you are safer on the road on your bike that standing next to the big trees! Lightning is not from the clouds down, but a meeting from the ground and clouds. As everyone knows, the high spots are more likely to make that connection. The rubber of your tires insulates quite well, and even wet there is not enough current carrying capacity to be of any real danger to you when riding. Also, if standing, make sure you stand with your feet touching each other, as the current differential between one foot and another creates a path of travel through your body that kills you. I love lightning as I know how to be around it safely!

Angolan people are down to earth calm and pacific. They struggled a lot during wartime, so they know the value of peace and friendliness.

Humans were made to be happy and kind to each other... i love your kindness Noraly ❤

I’m so inspired!! Seeing Africa through your eyes fills me with so much happiness! One day I will go Mama Africa, I have been dreaming of you since I was a child ❤

Who else thinks Itchy Boots is the best channel on UKposts?👍🥀🤠

Shout out to all Angolan people that seems to be humble and down to earth. That encounter with the villager in the middle of the forest was unexpected and cool to see. It was a short stay in Angola but very pleasant to watch so far. Regarding to your route today was pretty hectic with all that non stop lingtining strikes and thunders. Pretty much like my country, Brazil 🇧🇷. Have a nice week for all Itchy Booters. 🤗

Angola looks wonderful!

My respect and admiration you are one brave woman.

There is nothing more magical than an African tropical rain storm. It’s loud, mystical and the smell ❤❤❤

I’ve thought this many times but never said it. I am thrilled with your channel, BUT I worry that you place yourself in such vulnerable situations. As an 80 year old I can’t help but feel you’re just a kid to me. Love you. 😊

I will never complain about the roads around my house again. Thank you for sharing this, it is a beautiful part of the world I will probably never get to, so it is wonderful to see it like this.

She has her Doctorate in motorcycle travel in my book. %100 respect here.

UKposts : Video uploaded 1minute ago Views : 1107 Comments section : 22 You are a amazing Noraly

If we could all hug and protect you from the lightning and rain while standing there, we would! All 2.21 Million of us ❤ and more! But yes, your courage, fortitude, strength and astounding humility protects you all year round. Bravo Noraly. Always, BRAVO!

Safer on your bike Noraly, the rubber should insulate you. Once you put your stand down, you are creating a path for the lightning to travel. Also, growing up in Africa, we were always told, from my first memory as a small child, never stand under tall trees when there is lightning around.

Well done Netherland lady, ur fearless impressed me. Many men fear drive roads where u passin. God is ur strength 🙏🏿

Every day is a new adventure with Noraly, and this one was unique. I am always surprised at what a relaxed adventurer you are. It was pouring rain and thundering on the open dirt road between villages, but you casually motored on down this tiny single track that leads who knows where.... And there you were standing by a tree in the rain, looking like a helmeted alien with red legs, while I wondered what somebody would think if they came upon you at that moment. And then along came this charming fellow with just the helpful information you need to get where you need to go. The angels really do look after you!

I hope my daughters are as bold and confident in their own ability as you, Itchy Boots. Thank you for these shows. My girls and I are fans.

Wow, the sky after the storm is so beautiful.. I can almoast smell it :) 18:32

How can someone be this cheerful ,kind and brave Truly wonderwomen!! Lots of love and blessings,🕉️ from Varanasi, India🇮🇳

Lovely as always. Angola seems super relaxed to travel compared to the other African countries so far. Felt that thunder in my bones through the stereo 10,000 kms northwest of Angola 🤣!

Thank you for showing us more about Angola and her people. They all seems so nice and welcoming. The country is so vast and fertile. It has a potential to be an African giant

I can't say enough...I love Angola, with it's beautiful pleasant people, beautiful landscape, and the Portuguese accent. I never new they spoke Portuguese in Africa, Love it, thank you Noraly for this wonderful journey through West Africa.

A beautiful lady in the midlle of a jungle, alone! No fear of wild animals or wild people! Your simplisty is all that this life wants, isn't it wonderful!!. Say hi to anybody, smile to everyone, visit everywhere, sleep anywhere! You're a brave lady Noraly! The HD Thunder comment, hillarious 😂. When the gentleman at the forest said "Its 1 hour, because the road is good", I honestly expected a tarmarc road. Keep doing what you doing as we keep following you keenly. Thank you for touring us around the world.

Thank you so much for showing us this beautiful continent and all the wonderful people. I am so amazed by everything.

Great to see the kindness of my African people to strangers like Noraly. What an incredible journey.

Noraly i absolutely love everything about you and your channel. Your courage, humility, and thirst for adventure, brings me so many good feelings. We are all children of God, we all have our different cultures, that for me is one of the magical things about being human.

Thanks God For protecting Noraly From day one until today always fresh and Active in her episodes ❤❤❤

WOW, to be cold and wet in an Angolan Forest with Lightning all around and still have a smile on your Dial, just extraordinary. Sheer guts to do a trip like this . Safe Travels

Beautiful world. Gorgeous sunset over a river in Angola. Great video

Hi Noraly You are Braveheart God Bless you...

Noraly is amazing and an inspirational person. She is full of positivities in any situation. I have never seen her cribbing about anything anywhere. She can easily be considered as global citizen and ambassador. Love & Respect from Delhi, India

As a congolese, I am getting to see places I never dreamed of seeing. Thank you !

Noraly, you are my Heroine, for sure: Cool under all circumstances, getting along with everybody and keeping the courage. A true adventure traveler, allowing us to travel along and to see all these new places. A big thumbs up and warm hugs from neighbouring Namibia. 🙏🌄🌍🎊💐

Arthouse cinema from the rainforest in Angola! Thank you very much!

Salute to you Born to strive glad you ended up safely by Hotel Zambezi. May God keep protecting you throughout your adventure short for words Bravo You deserve all the glory

I recently found this channel, so im a private pilot and you've inspired me to do some flying and film my adventures. Im in the process of trying to enquire a small aircraft for myself, my first stop would be Europe. Id absolutely love to do some flying in Africa!!! Great channel, thank you.

Just wanted to say hello from the 🇬🇧. Me and my boys watch you all the time. Neve 7yrs and seth 5. Your a natural on camera and very calm. Safe travels ..❤ 🇬🇧

You just made me back in time when I was living in Angola and riding the motorcycle through the country. I believe it mus be one of the best places in the world to ride. You skipped the south of the country this time, but believe me if you loved the northern/tropical part, wait until you ride in the south not only in the desert but inland where you have so many places that will blow your mind away. I know the region pretty well, I would be glad to give you some tips for places to ride so you can decide. Ride Safe ✌

Impresed by your bravery. Riding on those rough roads

You such a brave person to be honest travelling alone. Be safe sister and take care.

Ah Noraly, you never disappoint! Yet another "edge of my seat" edition! Thanks for the ride!

I live around Detroit Michigan and you would not be greeted so nicely as you would in Angola. I'm sorry to say. I can't wait to see the friendlier places

Noraly that was so good.... loved it from beginning to end. Your amazing...be safe, the world needs you.

Always have a tarp and rope to make a quick shelter to stay dry. Lighting can strike anywhere, even in a little forest. If you can hear thunder, it can get you. Good luck, be safe.

I love everything about your travels noraly, I’m from nigeria and I wish you safest trips

We thank God that you we’re protected from the thunder in that jungle. The land is beautiful just like Zambia’s. When I was young person I could have walked on that road from Zambia but we never reached Cazombo, which I would like to see how it looks. Thanks a million times for your bravery to show us Angola.

While enjoying your worldwide trek please be careful: Prayers of protection for you my FREIND... 🙏🙏🙏😍

You are traveling alone… but there are so many people that have you in their minds. You’re never alone. Good luck!!

You are a true modern day viking zero fear. Lots of respect ❤️

Dang woman. Please be safe as you can. You're an inspiration.

I never seen such brave girl vloogers ❤❤❤ all the best 👍 God bless you and may God protect you from all the devil

Noraly as an old time bike rider I always carried a small polyester tarp (2×3 metres) which is invaluable in that kind of weather. Folds up small & weighs only 500 grams or so. The advice about moving away from your bike is right & also make yourself as small as possible is also right. The tarp just makes it a bit more bearable than sitting in the downpour & in hot weather provides shade. It is amazing how you manage to put out your excellent videos while enduring the extremes of weather you encounter. Take care & ride safe from W. Australia. 🌹 👍 😁.

I watch this channel a lot and have learned that Africans are very friendly

Dear Noraly, first off I'm glad you're alright. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. As a 59 year old man with disabilities due to my extreme sports lifestyle in my youth, i no longer ride bikes. Your videos help me to remember what total freedom is. I can barely drive my car from Los Angeles to San Diego without being sore (150 miles) The people you encounter have mostly been honest, caring people. Where we can't trust our governments, we CAN trust humanity. God Speed Noraly ❣️

Itchy, worst place to be during a thunderstorm is under trees, they act as conductors and are more likely to get hit, best place to be is in the open away from trees. Stay safe 😊

You are a masterful story teller Itchy.💚

I love the storytelling :D first just some lovely riding, suddenly the upcoming menacingly dark clouds… holding up in the forest.. the dramatic moments of just being there, hearing the thunder… A jolly fellow coming up, a friendly chat, uplifting moments… the drama has been defeated. then more riding and slowly coming close to civilisation and a safe roof over the head - ending the episode with a short talk of the impressions. I really like that :D thanks for sharing your expeditions and for your so well-crafted videos. You are my favourite on UKposts :)

My heart sinks when I see you in a vulnerable situation. I always pray that everything good happens so that you keep smiling with faith in life. Go Noraly Go!!!!

Standing under the trees in a lightning storm is not very wise......glad you made it out safely.

We were literally holding our breath as you waited out the thunder and lightening!! Wow just wow. We love how youre just, I'll take this little side road off the main dirt road into the forrest, surely it leads to small village... oh nope I'll just stop here in the middle of no where in 360 directional storm.. and without being startled greet a local man who appears out of nowhere with a smile. Absolute legend!! You've inspired so many people, to be adventurous and get their motorcycle licence. Me being one of them!! Thank you so much for sharing with the world 😊

Wow wow! What an absolute trooper. How she remains so optimistic and focused is beyond most motorcycle riders. A real inspiration,

Amazing.Truly beautiful video. Be careful out there & safe travels.

Está até falando português. Esta mulher é uma maravilha.

Noraly! You are just doing all what some of us would love to. You really fulfilling our dreams! Thank you for bringing the world close to us! We are riding along with you! Courageous super woman!

The best channel in the internet thank you for sharing your amazing journey God will always keep you safe 👍🙏🏻

Your courage gives goosebumps

Your touring is such a delight ! You teach so much too - like not being in the open when there is lightening....absolutely the right thing !

God bless you ❤

iTCHY, don't play with the luck... Take care in all ways!!, not only the climate, but the imply dangers on the road

Hi Noraly.. You continue to demonstrate incredible courage and resilience in every episode. This entire tour is truly remarkable-kudos to you! I've always found it fascinating that portion how you seamlessly immerse viewers by using the caption with helmet camera of front view along soothing background music. It feels as though I'm riding through lush landscapes in bustling weather. -it's fantastic! Just a heads up for your safety, especially given the recent incident involving a Spanish biker couple at the India border. Please take extra precautions and prioritize your safety. Keep up the amazing work!

what a Beautiful Journey,,, Thank You for Sharing.

Спасибо за то что вы это делаете, спасибо за русские субтитры. Спасибо что мы можем окунутся в Африку. Спасибо за то что ты в моем сердце ❤

There is no time to be scared, not on a bike. You did just fine. The thunder and lightening is absolutely beautiful and God like, but deadly. The beautiful deep purples of the flash. Your odds are even, wherever you are in a lightening storm. Keep your body away from the trees during. The trees are a ground strap for the lightening. don't lean on them, just hover underneath. Lightening doesn't care and is not particular. There was some blue in the sky with the other colors after the trees and noise, God giving you a wink saying "you did just fine". Keep riding Noraly, you have more chapters to write. Be careful, trust but verify. Most of the people seem nice.

You're a very courageous wonan. I salute you. May God keep you safe.

The confidence in you is amazing. Am watching from Kenya 🇰🇪

Be safe you are also traveling alone ..i thougt you also heard that news from INDIA SO BE CAER FULL..GOD BLESS YOU..SAVE TRAVELS

About 1/2way through. I camped for 1 year in the forest (and beach). I had a very cheap camper which was not a faraway cage! In other words, in lightning storms was the most scariest times for me. The problem is you can't go under big trees for protection, nor could I stay in my box camper, which sat on top of my ute. Sometimes I found bridges I could sleep under, but I looked up bridges in lightning, and they too are NOT protection as the lightning will travel along the beams! Whilst my 2 door car was definitely the safest option (and uncomfortable) you must remember I was in many lightning storms! Directly on me, and here I am in a metal car in the middle of the forest! Whilst other people (not many ever seen) were always a concern for me, the biggest concern was massive lightning and no where to hide. I remember one day sitting out the extreme lightning hours and hours of fear, and then it did hit a tall tree close to me. The tree came down with a huge thump. So glad I stayed away from big trees. In the morning I went to find the tree that fell, but couldn't find it in the dense shrub. I didn't count the trees at dusk, so no idea which one fell, but it definitely did as that's what made me stay awake all night long. Throughout the entire year camped way out bush (sometimes also right on the beach) and never in any official camping ground (as 365 days x cost of camping, clearly can't work). Although I did stay at some 1 - 3 nights ONLY (huge sign) free camping sites. Most of the time it was find ANY place. Throughout the year I NEVER got use to lightning. I overcame many other fears (wolves howling etc, and pitch dark that you can't even see your hand in front of you). But I never overcame my real fear of lightning, whilst in the bush/forests/beach hidden offroad areas. EDIT// Where you parked your motorbike, is exactly the look of where I camped. Smaller trees that could protect me from the rain, but wouldn't cause too much concern if lightning hit them. That look in the forest, is what I saw for a year. No one came down those lonely tracks, and I knew I was 50 sometimes 100kms from any town. (I had about 50 cans of soup, which when ran out, I'd have to buy 50 more (usually $2 each) plus many 20lt water containers, I filled most of the camper with water and soups LOL.

Bravo . You inspire your viewers with your courage, patience, good mood and wisdom. Keep the bike going, keep the positive attitude standing up , keep loving life alive and the happiness present . You are our hero .

Hi Itchy Boots, Thank you once again for a very entertaining video. You remind me of when I was a kid watching a guy on a Detroit TV show called George Pierrot Presents. George had people on who showed their trips from all over the U.S.A. recording themselves on 8mm film. Back in those days there was no sound so the guests would sit in the TV studio and narrate as the film was presented. Your narration and editing remind me of those days. I hope you are still having fun and being careful out there in the "jungle.'' ben/ michigan

We fought a war there in those conditions. Angola can be brutal. Zambia is also beautiful. I love those afternoon rains. Don't like the mosquitoes.

A Dutch woman communicating with an African man in Portuguese .. how cool is that. (before all the history teachers come for me, I KNOW history, its just nice to see..)

More Strength to you ! Your Strength and Shree Grit Inspires so many people around the World ! Keep Up your Sprits ! Love From Rajasthan India

I watch your videos for adventure and to relax. You are amazing! Greetings from Brazil.
