Noraly's parents certainly did a good job in raising Noraly and I suspect her mother fed her surreptitiously a little ground atlas along with her breast milk. And there was also accidentally a hair of a cat with it. Noraly loves all animals and cats. So.......a German young man , Martin, wanted to travel the world on his motorcycle. He bought a bike and made a training round to Morocco. On the way back to Germany he saw a little kitten on the roadside. The kitten climbed up his arm and fell asleep. What to do?...... He travelled half of the world with the cat. There is a book: [ Einmal mit der Katze um die halbe Welt] and a few Video's on KZread. .

"I somehow strayed off the main track"; "I didn't expect..."; "This wasn't part of my plan." The life of the Itchy traveller, who always ends up somewhere interesting and exactly where she intended. Another great video and some lovely shots of the country, interspersed with some worrying "unofficial" checks. All in a long days journey for Noraly. I think we worry more than you!

I'm continually reminded how unfazed you are about being in the country and subject to random "checks" by paramilitary groups. But, people are basically good and I wish that you always find more of them in your amazing travels. There's no one else like you, Noraly. Thanks for bringing the world into our homes.

Paramilitary groups? What an ignorant statement! This is a common thing in most of African countries. These checks are for the protection of the citizens. They can also be seen in Ghana mostly in the evening. Your part of the world is not the only "civilised" or "peaceful" place in the world. Just because you're not used to something doesn't make it dangerous. I have more fear for the American police than I have for the so called paramilitary groups because you can talk to them like human beings.

Noraly's talking about her current location's conditions aren't boring for me, because it's all part of her journey and experiences, and the more she shares, the more real it is for me. Keep it up, Noraly.

I can’t ever get over how you must feel when you make another border crossing. The “welcome to _____” is always said with such relief and exuberance. Guinea certainly gave you some challenging roads. Can’t imagine how bad they will be in rainy season. Have certainly enjoyed the seeing it thru your lens. Your videography just keeps getting better! Great video Noraly!

Love to watch your travels Happy Fathers Day to all the dads out there.

Very beautiful scenery. We thank you alot about your efforts. You show us around the world while we are sitting at home😊

First...'Bored' ???....whatever you want to talk about Noraly, we will never be bored......Second....the views from that drone flight were stunning....the plateaus with the valley below !!!!! Fantastic.....Thanks Noraly !!!!

Seven years of global motorcycle adventures has developed your senses as to what is acceptable & what isn’t. You are a geologist who also has a great understanding of the fundamentals of a lot of rain (torrential?) + a lot of sloping dirt roads & tracks = a lot of potential problems. lol another great view of a part of the world I will never see. Your GoPros & drone images are much appreciated. Thanks for another informative ride. Stay safe. Stay as dry as you can. Keep as upright as you can. Looking forward to you Wednesday post.

Good morning Noraly. Happy Father's Day to everyone out there in Noraly Land. You are a great inspiration to daughters every where. 🏍️

Love Noraly to bits. Always happy. I’m retired. She the first thing I watch on KZread when having my breakfast. Keep going Noraly but stay safe.

Some great drone video, so glad you didn’t have to sleep in a mould infested room, I am often surprised at the high quality of the rooms you are able to find in such out of the way places. I suppose that speaks to my sheltered life in Canada. Keep smiling, Noraly, you are an inspiration to all who crave adventure !❤❤❤Rick

How you stay calm and cheerful in all situations is beyond me.

Whenever you say "I have no idea where I'm going!" I find my self mumbling "So does your navigation." 😊 The landscape shots are absolute stonkers yet again! 🤩 What else is there left to say than: Can't wait for Wednesday! ☺ 🤗😍

Love your videos. It's a joy every time you post here on youtube. Ride safe.

Stunning views of the area on the way to Sierra Leone! The aerial view are always amazing! Your camera hides the difficulty of the treks you were on earlier in the day! Great to have an easy border crossing and find a nice place to stay! Ride safe Noraly!

I have such admiration for you! You are living the dream I have always wanted. Now into retirement, I'm enjoying my dream through your videos. God Bless! Safe Travels. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures. You are a very brave woman. Greetings from Texas, USA! 🥰

Another great episode. I'm interested to see what you find in Sierra Leone. I was there in the 80s and it was an encounter with what I would call a failing state. Massive poverty, and endemic corruption. Nothing worked, Government workers were never paid, runaway inflation, and it got far worse later with a brutal, nasty war, fuelled largely by diamonds. Despite this all the people I met were wonderful and kind to me and to each other and just tried to make the best with what they had. I often wonder about them and how they fared. Loving your journey and hope you have a lovely ride through Sierra Leone. From the border crossing it looks like a huge improvement.

You can tell it's motorcycle country just by how unimpressed the various livestock in the road are by your bike. 😄 Aaaand, the drone up - I always gasp at the wonder of Nature when you do that, then pause the video a million times to examine the terrain. Cool mesas, buttresses, whatever they are called, with mounded rock hills alongside. So different in formation, but likely shaped by the same conditions.

"I have no idea where my navigation is taking me" hahah definitely another great video, thanks for taking us on your journey!

I just recently found your channel and am LOVING IT! I get a few things from your channel, 1- shows people not to be afraid of just traveling to New places 2- shows women can do this 3- shows the beauty of the land and people around the world. 4-I was going to sell everything I own and try sailing, but I would have to learn how to sail, but then one of your videos popped up last month and I said to myself"that's it! I bike, I have 2 motorcycles , and all I want to do is travel" well there it is. I'm planning for everything to be sold and everything else taken care of and on my way within 6 months-ish 😁 And it's all your fault❤️ Take care&Stay safe. From Nova Scotia, Canada eh! 🇨🇦

For me, it was the first season or first trip, was most impressive, the videos wasnt that good from editing or time wise. But to know every country beetween asia and europe was facinating, the people, the views, the visas. It was mind blowing. Season 2 was good. After that it is kindla getting lower or not that exiting. Also first part in africa. (Not this season)

An inspiration to so many. You empower people to 'have a go'. You show us all that people are fundamentally the same the world over. When we're feeling a bit down, you raise us all up with your adventures. You allow us the privilege of travelling with you. You bring us Action, Education, Inspiration, Information. We all care and feel every bump in the road, worry about what comes next and joy at your achievements. Keep doing what you're doing.

Thank you Noraly for visiting and showing only the good side of Guinea. Wish you all the best throughout the rest of your road trip. And yes, they are all legit checkpoints. Sometimes, officers in charge might use villagers for the rope and first contact.

Noraly, I love to hear you talk about the challenges that, not only you, but the locals face. It's highly unlikely I will visit these places but I love to learn about them from Itchy Boots on the ground, not documentaries that only choose what they want us to see.
