The INSANE escape mechanism of the Guinean People 🇬🇳 |S7E39|

In this episode I am visiting the Echelles de Lelouma - centuries old handmade staircases hugging the steep cliffs of Guinea. There is a fascinating history to these stairs and it baffles me that they are still being used until today...

    Today I met a very petite lady with greying hair while standing in line at Popeyes for lunch. I noticed she had a slight accent, beautiful white teeth, a super friendly and very pleasant attitude/disposition, and asked her where she is from. She said Ghana. I mentioned that I'm watching Itchey Boots drive her moto thru West Africa and am so impressed with how friendly and helpful ALL the people there are to Noraly. She lit up like a sprarkler !! She offered me a coupon she had for a big discount on a meal, I accepted and then noticed she was very exacting on her purchase and counting her money very carefully. Then the cashier stepped away for a moment and I thought, "What would Noraly do??" When she returned I asked her to add the lady's ticket to mine. A friendly protest ensued but I prevailed and we were both very happy with the result. THANK YOU Noraly for showing us the "best side" of people all over the world. THANK YOU, too, Noraly for inspiring one of the happiest moments I've had in a long time. I would bet that this same type of happy encounter happens a thousand times a day everywhere, to a greater or lesser extent, due mainly to you showing all of us the other people in this world.

    I don't know if you get to read these. I am 75 and as my life is winding down, I am so impressed with you. You are living life with courage and to the fullest. I stopped riding dirt bikes back in1989. I crashed hard and snapped four ribs in half two inches from my spine. So I only ride street bikes now. I really enjoy watching your videos and know that you have so much to do to make them. The most important thing about them is you are showing the beauty of God's creation. The lands and the people. Most of us here in my small part of the world only get to see places when they are in the news. We only hear about a place when there is a war or a disaster. Your videos show the amassing way humanity lives. Even in places were it is so backwards without running water or electricity. Yet they have so much dignity. I hope you know Jesus because you are showing His creation in His light. everywhere the good and loving people. Well done. May God bless you and keep you safe.

    In english? yes. In spanish there are two more guys, one of which, is also friend of Noraly. His channel is Charly Sinewan, 14 years traveling around the world. All his content is in Spanish, but he speaks English and travelled all around the US during some of those years He is basically the same as Noraly but male version, they even have a couple of episodes together when they crossed paths in El Salvador (in Noraly's channel is season 6 episode 61 and 62). The only difference I see is that Charly tries to ride and meet the whole country while Noraly goes a lot faster. Charly started america in 2016 and stayed in the US close to 2 years, same in Mexico and in every single country he stays way too long, riding through small towns and meeting people and interviewing them. The other guy is Agustín Ostos, his channel "Soy Tribu". 5 years on road and 18+ countries. He makes a ton of interviews of native American towns in his travels through south and central America, right now he is in Mexico.

    My goodness, I have just read through maybe 200 comments! Such an impressive lady Noraly and her bike, Alaska. I was scared for you in the beginning of the video. Then I realised you speak enough languages to connect with the local people and they think you are great. I find it refreshing that they hold you and your bike with respect and don't thieve from you. That is truly uplifting. And that ladder! Absolutely amazing. I vaguely remember something about it form my much younger years at school. My teacher was a man who wanted us to know everything and he showed us things from unusual parts of the world. But I have not heard of these ladders since. Epic to see them still in daily use 60yrs since I learned about them at school. And to hear they are 100s of years old is absolutely astonishing. I said to myself, those women walking with those long dresses on could not have come up those ladders. But apparently they did indeed come up those ladders only 30mins before! Just phenomenal. I have watched 3 of your videos over the last few months and will endeavor to watch more if I have time. Great work and an amazing embassedor for all.
