Itchy Boots visits the 2023 ABR Festival!
The one and only, the legendary Itchy Boots herself visits the ABR Festival 2023 breaking off from her current tour of West Africa especially for her fans here in the U.K. The video is raw footage, no editing, no tripod, a bit shaky in places but hopefully you’ll still enjoy the presentation she gave.
Please feel free to leave a comment down below and I will respond to any questions/comments etc.

Hey you’re very welcome, if you’ve enjoyed the video then I’ve succeeded in my intentions. 👍
Noraly is such an awesome lady. Did you notice how quiet the audiance was, everyone is so intristed in what Noraly has to say. We all get to travel the world with her, go places where most people have never seen before and meet people from every culture. People who have been watching Noraly for along time know she can do all this by herself. Its the people who might watch her once or twice that who question that she does it alone. Big thumbs up for Itchy Boots.

Noraly can do this because she’s built up an amazing audience through her videos. She takes us to the places we wish we could go to but can’t for various reasons. Noraly likes to take the back routes that are off the beaten track that give us the scenery and up close encounters with the people you wouldn’t see as a regular tourist if you could go to these places. Noraly deserves all of the accolades reigned upon her. I applaud what she does.👍👍🇨🇦
As a Dutchie, I am so proud we have Noraly, who to me has gained Rock Star Status, she (to me) is a great inspiration, her attitude, her self-made-ness, and she seems like the most generous person you can think of. @itchyboots, I wish you safe travels for eternity, you take a lot of risks, but you’ve shown us so much of the world that would have otherwise probably never seen. ❤

I can't guess whether you'd be interested but, there is a 15 year old Dutch girl that will be racing tomorrow in the European Motocross Women's Championship. It's her first full season on 250s. This is the sixth and last race of the championship and she has finished first place in all 5 races, all 10 motos so far. She has won pole position today and if she wins both motos tomorrow it will be a perfect season. The race is in Italy and it's a hard pack track, not the type she has as much experience on. Maybe some positive energy directed towards Lotte Van Drunen will help her luck.
She is an amazing human being! Her answers really show who she is as a person. She defies all man made conventions.

So just wanted to sincerely thank you for coming to the festival and meeting us fans. Wifey and I have been watching you for years now, indeed, you are the only one on KZread who she wants to watch. I might have been telling her a few “Porkies” as I said that you were probably going be at the festival this year, so she should come, as I had indeed written to both you, and the organisers, to try and pursuade you to come.

I'm an avid fan of Noraly. i've been watching Noraly's journey since S4. Keep looking forward always for her next adventures.
Noraly, aka "Itchy boots" is truly one of the most inspirational human beings of the modern day. Her get up and go and "can do" attitude never fails to lift me. It is hard to imagine her ever settling down into "normality". She thrives on challenges and lives on the edge and goes to remote and inhospitable places that most of us would never dare go to. I could go on and on, but all I will say is "Thank you, Ms Schoenmaker!"
Huge ItchyBoots fan, glad to see her giving a presentation. I've suspected many of her hardships in running a one lady TV show while traveling, I personally don't understand the negative people. It's obvious she puts in really hard work to bring us a great Adventure. I have enough of a hard time just riding and camping, and routing.
