I too follow Itchy Boots this trip to Africa is giving me palpitations she is so trusting its scares me, on her last video she had left Africa which is great, take care greetings from Ireland.

I love the advice you are giving her. You have such a great heart. Your advice is very valid. Thank you.😃

Thank you so much!

Good advice. It's should be remembered that the cultures there are tight knit and they all know each other. They have phones and radios. So if you are tagged as a "payer", the nightmare will never end. Better to stand your ground the first time, and the next time will be much easier. They will not want to waste time on you. My advice from many years of living there.

Hey, Road Pirate, you're one cool man. It was generous of you to send her this fantastic message. Deep respect for you. Noraly is such an inspiration to all women and men around the world, and she's also got the world's respect as well. Have an awesome day and a great New Year 🇨🇦💯👍

I too was so worried when i saw that episode. She is too trusting. But at least she got away safely.

Great advice, but you have to consider the gender & physical dynamics, as an older white male this might work but sometimes you have to consider the situation for your safety, and its safer to just pay and avoid further conflict! Reckon Itchy weighed up the situation and acted accordingly and is now able to tell her story and certain that officials will be livid that this has happened!

That's what it's all about, there are a lot of fake police officers and when you've been treated like Noraly, you know that you won't hand over your papers. You insist on driving to the next police station, then the crooks will let you go. I am not blaming Noraly for that, i understand her situation. I want to start a conversation about that problem. Its about the next travelers and the next one. It can not go on like that, we have to be strong and stick together. When you pay, corruption will grow!!!

I'm 51. I ride an old 68 triumph that I've had since I was a teen. My one and only. I live in Nova Scotia. That's the East coast. My father was stationed in Soest Germany from 1961 to 1964. I have a half brother that lives there.

I understand that she is passionate about what she does, but hopes that she understands that there is a split occuring in humanity. One side is getting more angelic every day and another side getting more horrible every day. I would be more sellective of the places to visit, establish very strong social, economical, political investigative filters and grape-vine impressions of locals on general safety. It might also be a good idea to switch to a team format and not always be alone out there. Besides this I pray for her and wish her well. What a gentle soul this lady is!

richtig geile tipps, danke Dir !!! ⭐ hoffe die message ist zu ihr durchgedrungen ... aber es hilft uns allen!

I agree she is a wonderful role model and very skilled and courageous young woman. My point is that in a country like Liberia where police are often corrupt and she is frequently in very remote places a young woman is at risk when confronting corrupt police. I would suggest that she pay, get to a safe place and then file complaints or contact senior police officers. Like you i watch all of her videos and only hope she stays safe.

Thanks for your command. I do not understand why Noraly shut stay away from Africa. She was never in a life-threatening situation, and if she was, so be it. That is by no means a reason to give up on the plan. She won't give up on her plan to travel through Africa because of this. Noraly is made to do so, she is and has the strength and energy to handle difficult situations. She has learned to handle even the most difficult situations. Based on her experiences, she will certainly take certain measures that will not put her in unnecessary danger. I'm sure she can do it without a male companion. Your judgment is not the measure of all things.

A Chuck Norris movie situation. Breaker! Breaker!"

What I do when cops stop me: I greet you with a smiling face. I ask them how they are. Are you married? How many children do you have? Do you have brothers and sisters? Do you have enough money for your family, do you have animals at home and so on. Get them talking. And you are getting much better along with them....@road pirate reno

While I agree with the concept we must remember what others have said here - Gender makes a difference. It is easier for a male to apply this but a female is much more vulnerable. Also as you know, many of these African countries are corrupt to the bone, and going to a police station means nothing., in fact, it can be worse.

@@RoadPirateReno impossible to not hand over papers. You get asked at border's, check points, stopped on road and even some hotels up to 10 times in one country. Its common knowledge that this is a practice that exists in most poor countries so is ignored by officials even if you make a complaint. It's the small cost of travelling in these developing countries and no different than getting ripped off by restaurants in Greece or Italy at tourist spots or taxi drivers across Europe.

when you happy with that, do it.I don't and i advise others not to do it.

The problem with going to the next police station is that the captain/officer in charge is likely to be in on the graft as well. After all, he has to see and work with his two cops every day. While you'll be gone tomorrow, forever. Every country, every situation is different. Once you're off the main road, you're at their mercy. Better to pay a few bucks (especially if you can afford it) than to end up "disappeared". I had to do that once, long ago. My fault for letting myself get lured off the main thoroughfare. You learn as you travel. Meanwhile, nothing stops any of Noraly's subscribers from writing their local relevant embassy and reporting such incidents. The last thing such governments want is bad publicity for their tourism industry. I once spent twenty minutes in a tiny, un-airconditioned office in Nagpur, India, while the local police captain accused me of transporting drugs. I smiled, joked with him, understood he was just doing his job (no, I didn't have any drugs), and he made sure I made my flight. Gender also plays into these confrontations.
