I was in your live chat yesterday and you opened up about your stresses, anxieties, and the overwhelming support and hate. I didn't realize these were things you struggled with because you were always so upbeat and positive. Please don't be so hard on yourself. We deeply appreciate all the content you put out. At the end of the day, what matters most is being good enough for yourself and setting out to do things that lives rent free in your heart.
I couldn’t agree more, people go their whole lives with the regret of not trying, not traveling, or not feeling fulfilled. I can speak for many, you help inspire people to get out and go. Even if it’s just on a short ride or some where new.
Just loving all of Noraly's interactions with all those wonderful people she is meeting on her adventures. Not only is she showing us places we can only imagine, she is showing us how helpful, warm and welcoming people can be. So wonderful to be able to follow along with her on her travels.
You just haven't lived if you haven't ridden a motorbike through a restaurant😂. And then slid down an active volcano on a piece of board, nogal. This series has had the most incredible variety. As a South African, I thought nothing could top your African adventure, but this whole series has had me eating "humble pie". Brilliant stuff. Please keep it coming.
How can Noraly outdo herself time after time after time? She just does it with ease. Coolest person on the planet. Just beautiful. ..the climbing, the sledding, the interaction with the young man and the thoughtfulness regarding his motorcycle. Noraly.......you dear are my spirit human even though we are polar opposites. ❤️ you!!!!!
Amazing, in one segment, see Noraly drive through a bar and restaurant, show us a beautiful church, a new dimension on how to serve corn on the cob, ride the sand like the wind, climb a volcano, teach a bit of Geology, sit on a board and fly down pyroclastic gravel to the bottom with the touch of a smile, laughter, and humility.
Noraly could advise the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs on many subjects when she returns to The Netherlands. Her experiences motorcycling the world are enormously enjoyable and educational to everyone.
That bloke did that sandy volcanic trail like a true Kalahari warrior. With that board attached to his little bike he was relentless. For that amazing effort he was awarded and granted with the prestigious " Itchy Boots Seal of Approval. " What a top legend lad.
One of the things I do in my professional life is inspecting restaurants, cafes and bars. In almost 30 years of professional life, I've seen a lot of completely crazy things, but this is the first time I've seen someone riding a motorcycle inside a restaurant. Life is always full of surprises...
@@NerosOfDecay Do not put your money on that. But mostly it involves some drinks or something or places and people many do not want to met really. And there is at least one place in eastern europe you can do this regulary.
As I been following you since you started down in South America, I've thought your journey through Nicaragua was going to be a couple days long at the most, you proved me wrong and gave me more than a couple places to visit in my own country. I really appreciate what you have shown of what Nicaragua has to offer and it's friendly people, it shows how much you've enjoyed every moment in Nicaragua.
Again and again and again. Every ITCHY BOOTS video is like opening a lucky (surprise) packet. I have opened it, now I am going to sit back and enjoy it.
You NEVER fail to educate, entertain and give an enthusiastic and positive outlook on life. You're a Hero Noraly! Please be safe. I look forward to ALL of your videos!
that was outstanding Professor...... as was your live cast yesterday..... your main appeal to followers is your endlessly optimistic attitude and happy personality ....
After you said "I used to fear sand", I said exactly what you said! Your channel is a true world adventure, and I always enjoy being there, riding on your shoulder.
Riding in sand is the hardest thing to do on a bike, you cannot be half hearted, sit back on the seat and get the front wheel light to skim over the sand, it takes a lot of confidence to go for it but once you now what to do it’s not so hard.
You play the internet like a concert violinist plays a violin. Enjoyable music and more importantly, in the end, of some real human value in terms of providing entertainment and education at the same time.
I thought the ride through the restaurant was wild, until I saw 👀 the wildest ride down that volcano 🌋!!!! I love ❤ it! You are the most courageous adventurer!! Thank you 💃.
Truly pure entertainment! I am in my late 60's and have had a fairly adventuresome life, lots of motorcycle riding, serving in the armed services, overseeing construction projects in many places and have been so fortunate in so many ways. But, you Noraly, are one of few people of whom I am envious of your experiences and explorer spirit. What an amazing person and superb chronicler of your shared experiences. Thank you so much for sharing this with us mere mortals. Boarding down volcanic outflows has to be so exhilarating. Safe travels.
I guess Alaska behaved herself at the bar, considering she only drinks petrol. What a down volcano slide, with a ton of giggles and enjoyment too. Noraly's the only one that can make time fly watching her videos. Great job as always.
Hi Nor! I'm a recent subscriber. Just wanted to say how I like it that you leave your privilege back in Holland, and engage with locals. It humanizes you, and the friends you meet. Just one of the unique characteristics you possess. You are an ambassador of women, strong, smart, adventurous and determined; it's a joy to watch and makes me a lot less jealous of your amazing adventures. Keep ridin!
WARNING! 2 minutes of me smiling and giggling like a school girl. The content of this channel just keeps getting better! Noraly, you've excelled yourself once again.
I never imagined the Sandbord ride on the volcano was so much fun. Thanks Noraly to introduce to new adventure sport. Volcanos are always a fascination to geologist.
Noraly, you are unquestionably the world's most fearless, most adventurous woman!! What an amazing adventure you're sharing with us. It almost felt like we were along with the ride when you were blasting down the side of that volcano! Thank you!!
Noraly, you will have such amazing stories and memories to share with your family & friends for the rest of your life. I guess the monkeys and the chickens heard you were in town. Wanted to give you a warm welcome ☺ As always, stay safe young lady !!
I'm sad, mad, and disappointed that you, Noraly, have to deal with haters. You're an ambassador of love, peace, and inquisitiveness! You're a hero to us as you travel the world making new friends and sharing your love of learning with us all. Thank you for everything!!
Many years ago I spent a lot of time in Matagalpa helping the Mayor's office develop and implement an awareness campaign about water conservation, as the region was going through a serious drought at the time. We got the schools involved and youth helped us develop a logo and campaign theme for a series of posters. We had a parade and crowned a Water Queen. Everyone was so helpful and kind and the campaign was a huge success. So nice you get to tour the region and enjoy the hospitality of everyone. And volcano surfing! What fun!
Noraly, this was the most fun vlog ever that you ever made. I giggled too for over 2 minutes. 😂🤣 Thank you for cheering me up! Been following you since you started vlogging. Bless you!
I have boarded down giant sand dunes but never thought of a volcano. Awesome. I thought your guide did an amazing job of recording you while running down the side behind you. Great video.
Qué tía más graciosa, y qué actitud más maravillosa ante la vida. Me encanta. Debe ser toda una experiencia conocerla y oír sus historias. Te deseo lo mejor del mundo, Noraly, y que tu viaje no acabe nunca.
I think that todays trip was the most fun I’ve had riding with ItchyBoots. I’m used to riding pillion on her motor cycles, but pillion on board down a volcano to the sound giggles and laughter, is a first. Thanks for taking us on along with you.
I am here for the inspiration to live life larger and the message that the world and the people in it are not nearly as dangerous as I thought. I live in the US, was thinking of visiting Ecuador with the possibility of moving there. That's how I found this channel, it was posted on a Ecuador expat channel when Itchy Boots was there in January. I've watched all but a very few of the 418 episodes. My plan is now to put some stuff in storage, sell my house that doesn't fit me anymore and get out in the world without the worry of what is going on with my home. It's easy to see that Noraly is the perfect medicine for me right now. Thank you, Noraly!
@@donminecuador6044 If I were guessing I would say June would be my month too. It will be how long it takes to get my stuff down to where it fits in a 10x20 storage unit and getting the house in shape to sell. Last week, one house very near me went pending in 7 days another in 2 so quick to sell, the closing may take longer. I'm planning to start in Olon. Do you have a locale picked out?
@@jerrym3261 I don't have a house to sell, but I have a lifetime of stuff to sell, and it's going slowly - very slowly. Putting stuff in storage is like putting good money after bad. I know because I've been doing it for many years. 🤣 It is great that you have a house to sell. Prices are insanely high and not sustainable IMHO. So you are probably getting out at just the right time. Good luck! I've all but decided to start out in Cuenca and hope that I don't have a problem with elevation sickness. If that doesn't work out, I might try Loja. I want to live where there is excellent public infrastructure and everything I need is an easy commute. Also, healthcare is an issue, as is fluency in Spanish so that limits my choices. For a long time, I considered Manta but I think it is too small and frankly, I've had my fill of heat and humidity.
@@donminecuador6044 I have lived on the beach and know I can be quite entertained sitting/ walking on the beach. I might consider moving to elevation for the climate knowing the beach is a short motorcycle ride away. I recently got the idea that the tourist visa you get when you get off the plane is good for 90 days in a rolling 365 days so, you can suspend your 90 days. I could stay in Ecuador 40 days, go to a different country and come back to Ecuador with 50 days left. I'm thinking to maybe look at Nigaragua, Panama, Costa Rico, maybe others before I commit to getting a visa in one of them. As far as stuff, there's very little my son will want when I'm gone and there is very little I use or even see often. For example, I have 11 motorcycles but, most of them sit unused. I'm only getting a storage space in case I end up back home. I like having options. I did learn from Dr Robert Holden to ask myself, what do I need right now to find my happiness? The answer is always, nothing. IHTH
I have been watching from Season5 in my home country South Africa and neighbouring countries i.e. Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe. I have been hooked ever since and I haven’t missed an episode.
What a blast! How you managed to pack all that action in, in one day is beyond me! Pretty sure you must've slept like a log after that adrenaline rush! Bloody brilliant video Noraly!
Having ridden 40+ years in the dirt and on street bikes, I can really appreciate your video work Noraly. The view over your handlebars particularly...makes me feel I am riding with you. Thank you for your expert camera work and your love of riding in the dirt.
It's not everybody that gets to slide down the slopes of a volcano! What fun that was! All these experiences of a lifetime will stay with you for the rest of your life! Ride safe!
Me traes lindos recuerdos cuando iba con mi padre a traer miel al cerro negro y la pasaba super bien en esa carretera que es pura arena suelta y los divertíamos mucho cuando se nos pegaba el jeep cargado de miel . Gracias por traer esos lindos recuerdos .. mi padre ya no esta en este mundo pero mirándo este video me lo recordaste cuídate mucho y espero que la hayas pasado bien en mi país.
Oh dear...what an incredible experience! That had to be absolutely hearthumping! It looked so so fun ! Nothing stops the dynamic duo of Noraly and Alaska through the sand...Hi Ho Alaska! Great video Noraly!
So much fun! The crazy adventures that Noraly gets herself into. I wish I had half the guts that she has. I would have probably soiled my trousers coming down that volcano so quickly. LOL!
Eres una chica de mucha Adrenalina con mucha fuerza. Son lindas todas las aventuras, eres un Ejemplo de como Enfrentar los problemas de una buena manera y con una sonrisa , siempre tienes una solución .
Noraly, you continue to level barriers everywhere you go ... firstly, it was so funny seeing you and Alaska riding through a bar and restaurant to find a safe parking! Followed by flying down the steep slopes of an active volcano on a yellow plank! Your squeals of delight and broadest of grins afterwards was priceless! Brilliant badassed adrenaline junkie ...
The happiest and most infectious laugh and giggle on the planet. Mad as a bag of frogs (boarding down a volcano) but should we expect anything different?? Noooooo..... Stay awesome, Noraly!!!
We did not expect to see Noraly sliding down the face of a volcano on a Volcanoboard today. That was wild! I don't recall ever seeing Noraly riding her bike through a restaurant either. Should have stopped at the bar for a quick one. Two firsts today and we're sure there are many more firsts to come. Great video, Noraly! Thanks!
Waking to howler monkeys, then being welcomed to ride through a restaurant - all pretty exotic, but then, riding a board down a volcano! This adventure keeps surprising. Also, I continue to be amazed that Central America, which I'd previously only known to be jungle, keeps surprising me with its beautiful high country scenery.
1M subscribers. This is why. You are the neighbor we would all like to have, the friend we would all like to hang out with doing just about anything or nothing at all. You are the favorite school teacher who inspires and challenges us to see things fresh and new. Thanks. I think if Honda would ask you to spec an "Itchy Boots Alaska Edition" they could sell thousands of them. 👍🏼
No sólo es informativo que también m encanta ,pero también es relajante,entretenido y muy positivo todos los videos ,pero en la encuesta hay una sola opción a responder ,Noraly , tú y tus videos son muy lindos.
Your laughter is infecting. I have been giggling along. 😆 And what a lovely opportunity for drone shots by foot that volcano was! 🥰 I absolutely loved his one! 🤗
At age ten or so, ca. 1950, I climbed Red Lake Peak (10,063 ft), just south of Carson Pass (Hwy 89) at the ridge of the Sierra Mtn range. It is a former volcano, and had similar soft pumice like slopes. I did not slide down but ran down with my older brother. At that age, I was too young to be frightened but could not do it today (age 81).
Yes he did but like she said….isn’t fair because he’s bike compare with her bike is a pc …s;** !& (😁sorry by that)but is the true.however she is a good rider !
My God Noraly, you did it again!!! First, we see you driving Alaska through a bar and restaurant, then you take on your old nemesis sand! I thought you were kidding when you spoke about sledding down a volcano! You, and the world, never cease to amaze and thrill me! Thank you again!
THAT was a cool experience! Loved the squeals of delight on a yellow board! How weird did it feel driving Alaska thru the restaurant with patrons sitting at the tables you were driving by? You're really good at getting the nectar out of life! Great filming!
1.2k comments ...and almost all the comments hv acknowledged by Itchyboots ❤❤❤, yesterday's episode reminded me my sandboard experience in Tangalooma..at the end I was almost upside down 😁😁😁, Thank you for always leaving us with a smile ,thank you for always showing us the bright side of life.🍫🍫🍫🍫✌✌🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️ Ps. Wanted to tell you during the live session, one of my friends..doctor has reduced her doses for anti depression pills, never misses a single episode of Itchyboots( her new prescribed medicine 🙂🙂🙂) , she is happy..thank you again for touching so many people's life.✌🌻❤
I was in Nicaragua in 2010 and at this time, many people still suffered a lot because of the earthquake and the civil war. As it seems, many things changed in a positive way since that. The houses, streets and so on look much better now and the people seem to be also more relaxed. Very interesting to see that now!
Whenever I see your videos I get some positivity. Just I turn back and love my life. You repeatedly encourage me to live the life with Fun and Hope. There are lot of hurdles in our life, we can over come with the positive vibes. Lots of Love Noraly from India.
I tap out, I give up trying to predict your next adventure. Stay safe, be yourself and don't worry about entertaining strangers and what we might think... this is your journey and we are blessed you're sharing it with us.
The board slide down the active volcano is so exciting! It makes a person feel so happy and young again, just like a child playing. Incredibly fantastic!
What's more exciting than riding a motorcycle through sand? Riding a board down a volcano! What constantly amazes me is how you find these things. I love the comment below from Rodriguez Rey - you gave him a few things to visit in his own country. Thanks again for an amazing half hour. A million subscribers who should all be smiling today.
Good morning so nice to see you live don't stress just keep doing what you're doing you obviously enjoy it and you take us for the long for the ride and it's greatly appreciated. You have an amazing spirit that I can see the locals seem to to like and I thought you looked awesome yesterday many blessings much love 🙏❤️🌹🏍️😀
I agree, when she takes a little time for herself we all enjoy it that little bit more. Thank you Noraly and the young man for taking you to the volcano. Soooo much fun… David
This was my favorite video to date! I loved the happy laughs and screams going down that volcano. I felt like I was going down it with you...lol I found my self smiling and laughing with you at times... I loved the smiles and the happy energy. Such a fun video!
Noraly...you deserve 1 billion subs...loved this video, so much fun 😄 thank you ! You are taking us to the most fascinating places on earth 🌎...greetings from SOUTH AFRICA 🇿🇦
I find myself after a rotten day of working, sitting here watching your videos with a big stupid grin, just wanted to say thanks for videos and bringing joy to us safe travels
Hi Noraly so nice to see them smiling and waving what a change from the camera shy people we saw in the beginning your cheerful influence.Enjoy the slide down the volcano 💞👍love Cape Town 🏍😷❤️🩹🌍🙏🇺🇦🌻
I found you by accident. I gotta say.... you are one amazing woman! I've been watching this series and after the first video, I was HOOKED!!! I've been riding Motorcycles all my life. Started on Mini-Bikes, went to dirt bikes and then to street bikes. Well, after many miles & years with multiple injuries and a few accidents (not from bikes), and I'm slowing down and back to the ADV Dual-Sport Bikes (road/dirt) again. Your videos are GREAT! You have more balls than 1/2 the guys I went to high school with! I bet you can ride as good or better than 1/2 the guys I ride with! Be careful out there! Hate to see something happen to a fellow Dutchmen! OK.... its been 3 or 4 generations since we came to Holland, Michigan USA but still, one rider to another, keep the rubber side down and when in doubt, GAS IT!!! ;-)
incredible episode I was ducking and dodging rocks all the way down the hill. And the sand road also was awesome. Thanks Noraly you have earned your 1M subscribers and more.
First time riding a bike in a restaurant !!! And everybody seems to find it normal. You're easy on sand trails, Alaska's likes it. And then lava boarding down volcano slopes... Nothing stops you, Noraly !!! 😄😄😄😎
Seeing you ride thru the restaurant was incredible. How awesome. Your livestream was great as well. How could anybody give you hate mail. Greetings from Colorado!
That was a cool way to get down that volcano, good job filming that! I’ve been eating corn on the cob, all my life, never thought of eating it like that, you have opened up my mind, the possibilities.👍
Watching you go down the volcano was delightful, and I am jealous, but old age and a fragile body makes me regret that I never got to do this. Oh well such is life.
