I need to return this Honda Africa Twin in MADAGASCAR 🇲🇬.. FAST! [S7-E104] 

No political comments, no religious remarks , no racial slurs , not complaining about people, poverty anything , just enjoying the world as it is showing the world as all we wanted to see. Thank you Noraly making our every Wednesdays and Sundays memorable.

Through all the logistics, break downs, highs and lows, the hours of video editing, bad roads and sometimes crazy boarder crossings, and all with a smile. To say you are an inspiration would be an understatement. ❤

I've been following Itchi boots since the beginning. I wanted to react today following your episodes filmed in Madagascar. I know this country very well... When I saw the first videos, I said to myself "we have to warn her, she will surely get sick, her body is not immune to being able to drink and eat like the locals! !!", but I knew that the warrior was going to get through it, obviously... I wanted to write today to thank you for these few episodes which show only the good things in this country which has so many difficulties. Not once did you complain or criticize or make fun of the Malagasy people, you only had positive words. I especially remembered when you said in a natural way that "these people are strong and courageous" when seeing people pushing carts in the mud, in the rain. I deeply think that you have just understood everything about what life is. Thanks again, Norali!!

Lady, you are amazing and overpassing any one. I am old (70) with 94 countries traveled in for work and never seen such resilience. Bravo!

Many towns in Madagascar start with "A" because it's a common prefix used in Malagasy language to indicate a place or location. It's similar to how "ville" or "town" is used in French or English names. For example, "Antananarivo" means "the city of a thousand" and "Ambanja" means "the place where there are lots of banja trees." So, it's more of a linguistic convention rather than a specific reason tied to geography or history.

Eight hours of straight non-stop riding requires mental toughness, and Noraly's got it.

Thanks for the GREAT tour of Madagascar! For those that are interested in lemurs, in the area of North Carolina that I live we have Duke University. The university has the Duke Lemur Center, (located in a part of the university-owned Duke Forest) that since 1966 has been fulfilling its mission of performing research and conservation of lemurs. Information on the program can be found on YT and Facebook. In addition, they also have boots on the ground in Madagascar for lemur conservation, habitat study and preservation!

I have been watching your travel videos in Madagascar with my 8-year-old daughter, and we were sad to see them end. It’s unfortunate you got sick, but such is life in Madagascar! Nonetheless, it amazes me how brave you are, trying all sorts of street foods. I’m originally from Morondava, and all my family is there, but I grew up on the eastern side and went to school in Fianarantsoa, near where you stayed. My daughter thinks you gave me a bit of the travel bug; I am now in the process of getting an adventure bike to explore the east coast where I grew up. I’m not an advanced rider, so we’ll see how it goes. If you ever come back, consider visiting the east side; I'm not in the country for now but my team and I would be more than happy to provide logistical support and guidance. Thank you for sharing your fantastic journey! P.S. The town you passed through with the pulled rickshaws is Ambositra, known as the woodcraft and art capital of Madagascar. There’s a beautiful off-road ride to Zafimaniry, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Considering all the circumstances on this day - still not fully recovered from food poisoning, thus driving hungry without eating anything for 8 hours, possibly bad weather, road and traffic ahead but still plan to catch the airplane in the evening... would be too stressful for me. But then there is Noraly, our true adventurer who is just doing it with a smile on her face, against all odds. Wow.

Madagascar must be incredible if Noraly puts it in her top 5 😊 Thank you Noraly, Francois, and Didier for making this Madagascar adventure possible. It’s definitely been a memorable part of the Africa series ❤

Its truly been an amazing and adventurous experience watching you ride across Madagascar. From our screens we've been able to enjoy and feel the same experience with you. Thank you so much for showing the world the beauty that is Madagascar.

Embarking on a journey with Noraly, is nothing short of exhilarating. With each episode, she takes viewers on a thrilling ride across continents, weaving through diverse landscapes, and immersing herself in rich cultures. Itchy Boots isn't just an adventurous travel channel; it's a passport to exploration, discovery, and genuine human connection. What sets Itchy Boots apart is Noraly herself and her commitment to presenting an unbiased view of Africa. In a world where stereotypes and misconceptions often cloud our perceptions, Itchy Boots offers a refreshingly authentic portrayal of the continent and its people. Her genuine curiosity, infectious enthusiasm, and unwavering determination make her the ultimate adventure traveller. She fearlessly dives into the unknown, forging connections with people from all walks of life and sharing their stories with grace and empathy. One of the standout features of Itchy Boots is its exceptional use of traditional African music. As Noraly traverses the rugged terrain of Africa, the soundtrack effortlessly transports viewers into the heart of the continent. The rhythmic beats and soulful melodies add depth to the visuals, enhancing the overall experience and providing a cultural immersion that is both authentic and captivating. Moreover, the drone shots featured in Itchy Boots are nothing short of breath-taking. From sweeping vistas of sprawling savannas to aerial views of winding mountain roads, these shots offer a bird's-eye perspective that truly showcases the beauty of the rural areas Noraly explores. They provide a sense of scale, allowing viewers to appreciate the vastness and diversity of the landscapes she encounters. But perhaps what keeps me most entertained are the scenes that keep me on the edge of my seat. Noraly's adventurous spirit knows no bounds as she navigates challenging terrains, encounters unexpected obstacles, and embraces the unpredictability of life on the road. Whether she's traversing muddy trails in Liberia or crossing rivers on makeshift ferries, every moment is filled with excitement and anticipation, leaving me eagerly awaiting the next adventure. Keep up the good work.

Deals with difficult people, beauracracy, difficult terrains, difficult circumstances and bad road conditions ALL with A SMILE! so that she shows every nation she visits in the best light! You're awesome Noraly! Thumbs up!, 👍

Noraly, you definitely do not have to be concerned about not making friends on the airplane due to wearing your riding gear! You have over 2 million of us right here! Today’s adventure was exciting while riding through a beautiful area. Ride safe and hope you find Alaska in excellent condition!

We really enjoyed traveling with you NORALY, through Madagascar. Fantastic to see Renault R4L cars over 60 years old running in the streets. Good Luck

I thought this Noraly had a cast iron digestive tract. So you just shielded us from the unpleasant details, and sit it out. You are so thoughtful. Prayers for a healthy constitution from this point on.

I love this lady. I follow her wherever she goes. She brings the world right into my eyes.

When you were on the plane, clad in protective gear and with a helmet in your lap, did any fellow passengers ask you if you know something they didn´t? 🤭 Yes, Madagascar stunned! 🤩 Thanks for showing us around, I bet with the number of people watching your videos, travels to Madagascar will get quite a lot more! 🤗 😍, 🤗!!1! P.S.: The rackety-rack-comment was pure gold, great laugh! 😊

After I have changed a dirt bike tire I have to lay down to rest for a while, but ok Im 60+. Im so impressed by Noralys energy and stamina.

Noraly, My wife and I really enjoyed your Madagasgar series very much. As always, your filmography was fantastic as well as the views, threats and theme. You certainly did make the most out of your time. Didier was quite the sport to hang with you on that 200 as that sure looked tough to go through in sandy, loamy soil. As always, we hope you stay safe, enjoy your travels and keep feeding us these wonderful videos filled with your awesome ability, attitude and experiences. (Old Biker Dude)

I thought Madagascar was one of the most beautiful places you have been. I had no idea. Thanks for taking us there

Thanks to François, Didier and all Crew for this amazing trip in Madagascar. It was a eye opener in so many levels. I knew i would be able to see the lemurs and iconic baobab trees. But the highlight for me was the gorgeous and pristine coastline with turquoise waters almost untouched. The fisherman's boat adventure was the cherry on top of the Madagascar cake. And I felt like that was still something left behind and so much to discover in this huge island almost unknown by massive tourism. And finally when you said you had some poisoning food related problem i was like: Finally one. I thought - like we say in my country - she had an ostrich stomach.😂 The superwoman is still a normal human like us. Well, a little bit upwards. Let me put that way...😂 Thanks Noraly. 🎉

Unbelievable, down sick for two days. Got up and rode That road on a new/used bigger bike than Alaska for 8 hours with no food or drink ( good choice) I'm speechless. Amazing ride. Congratulations you win. 🎉

Considering all the varieties of foods our Noraly consumes its a miracle she is not affected more often. God bless you Noraly you are so brave and everybody loves you! 🙏❤️🙏

You are amazingly optimistic, you tell us how you got food poisoning and with a laugh and a smile. No doubt one of the main reasons your channel is so popular is your bright attitude you deliver while showing us real places we would never likely to have seen if you had not shown them to us. I could type that in Dutch but it is better that all can read your praise.

Here we go again. Noraly really giving us the best of entertainment. She is indeed the best on you tube ❤

Considering all of your obstacles, you remain incredibly positive. Even considering the food poisoning, and not eating all day, you still remained positive and frankly looked pretty good. Surprised you did not appear more exhausted. Keep up your great work. You are an inspiration and a source of entertainment for many people.

Hats off to Itchy. Eight hours challanging riding while on a three day fast. Fasting is the secret to fixing travel tummy bugs.

Seven seasons in and you still show the enthusiasm of a teenager. Keep it up Noraly, we all love taking the ride with you.

Noraly is awe inspiring and allows us all to travel along with her, so very happy to be a part of this wonderful community.

I severely injured my left knee Aug 1,2023. I found your channel while I was stuck elevating my leg 20 hours a day for 6 months after surgery. Now I have been off the crutches and I found you when I was buying my New 22 Royale Enfield Himalayan. I love it and now understand how good a rider you really are. I found out Wednesday that I can no longer work with the damage in my leg. I still go to physical therapy 3 days a week and in the gym every day. I now want to do some long distance traveling this summer and love how you handle traveling. Good poisoning, flat tires( I got one two weeks ago and you inspired me to fix it on the side of the road with my spare tube I got because of watching you, so thank you) and always look forward to Wednesday and Sunday video's. My girlfriend now watches you because of just how wonderful the places you go traveling. Thank you for taking all of us on your journey. Since I live in South Carolina USA, I will be exploring my part of the world. So many historical places to see

Get those guys running with rickshaws BAREFOOT!! ….and I complain when a traffic light changes. Noraly is an inspiration.

Food poisoning, can’t say that I’m surprised, actually I was wondering for so many years how you managed to avoid that little difficulty. But, thanks for NOT SHARING, although I commiserate with you, nothing worse than having to suffer through that physical trauma. Glad you made it back to Francois’ location. You are a real ‘trooper’, Noraly. Good to see you’ve kept that winning smile of yours. Waiting with anticipation your return to Africa. Truly hope all goes well as you re-unite with ALASKA !…❤❤❤Rick

Madagascar has been a fun experience. Seems like never a dull moment. As you chatter/converse along the way it always seems like you are talking directly to me. 💗 Always feel included.

Loved the Madagascar series thoroughly and if Noraly ranked it one of the top 5 of her adventures it mustve been really enjoyable for her. Enjoying it on screen from the comfort of our homes is a different story altogether but riding is tough. Her passion for riding bikes makes her enjoy it every bit wherever she goes. She would rather wear her riding gear on a flight than risk losing it with the luggage , this speaks volumes about her cool attitude and preferences. Another important aspect of riding like she does, from country to country , is health issues. Too bad she got sick in Madagascar but such a possibility always exists. Wish you well on all your future rides Noraly .....Godspeed !!!!

Caught up. Finally. From season 1 episode 1 and every episode since. Not sure how I will mange to watch 1 episode at a time when accustomed to watching 3 or 4 per sitting.

From day 1, to when you bought Alaska I've travelled the world with you from the comfort of my bed. You don't know me but it feels like we know each other. Thank you Noraly for taking me around the world with you.

Madagascar has been absolutely beautiful. Especially off the beaten path, that we've come to know through only Itchy Boots. Now take us back to our Alaska please!

Welcome to Malawi Welcome to Malawi 🤗 the Warm heart of Africa

What can a person say about Noraly Words do not describe her She is just something else like never before on YT or on any travel documentary. She is just outstanding. I am addicted to her videos. Thank you for the lovely time and pleasure you give everyone with your videos

Noraly...!! It's so memorable that you make us partake of your adventures. You're always giving the best. Thank you Noraly and Madagascar for giving us those magical videos.😊😊😊🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

Difficult conditions on a strange bike, Noraly is proving her worth yet again. ❤️

Dat was haasten geblazen vandaag, ook mij stond het zweet op mijn voorhoofd. Heel veel dank en groetjes van de Veluwe.

As this marks the final episode of your Madagascar journey, it would be wonderful if you could extend an invitation to Didier to bid him farewell. His contribution has been instrumental in the success of your Madagascar episodes, and his dedication is truly commendable. Thank you for consistently bringing joy to us, your viewers, with each episode.

Last strech in Madagascar ? What a pity. A wonderful country with great people !

From Kenya we follow so much this adventure 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪

I've never seen Madagascar. Thank you for showing the beautiful people and those gorgeous Baobab trees!

From a TX girl rider I have to say you have a lot of guts! Stay safe! 🙏

Thank you for sharing the world with us.May God protect,keep and preserve you always. Amen

Ob schlechtes Wetter oder Lebensmittelvergiftung, man merkt es dir in deinen Videos nicht an. Was gute Laune und Optimismus betrifft, so bist du mein großes Vorbild. Vielen Dank für diese Reise durch Madagaskar mit dir.

today I watched many of your videos! now it's like 6hours since I started watching your videos! I can say that you are doing a good job as you are showing us the beauty of AFRICA to everyone who can not travel to many countries! btw DIDIER is a good guy! not everyone can risk to take such decision ! MUCH LOVE FROM RWANDA!

Hooray!!! What an incredible odyssey through Madagascar! I've been utterly captivated by the breathtaking beauty of this remarkable part of the world. The simplicity and serenity here have left me utterly awestruck. Heartfelt thanks to Noraly for graciously guiding us through this unforgettable adventure!

Set yourself free when the clock strikes three because everything stops for tea. Good afternoon Noraly, from Derbyshire England 😍

One of the best adventure motor cyclist vlog out there. It's educational,, thrilling and super fun. 👍🏽👍🏽

Noraly! This is the only channel that myself, my wife and my 5 mos daughter enjoy together. You are nurturing here a female moto adventurer for 2044 😊

With love from Uganda🇺🇬 the Pearl of Africa ❤

Rack rack rackity rack.... lol, she's so awesome. One of the most incredible women I have the pleasure of following her travels. As soon as I see her posting, I stop watching whatever I'm watching to see her new adventure for the day. Her laughter is also very contagious lol because she literally laughs at every blunder that she encounters. I can also see nothing negative on her channel, which is fantastic this day and age, it seems. Lots of love from Canada Noraly 🇨🇦 ❤️ 💯👍

That celebrating "Yay" plus arms up brought a big smile to my face and I confess a bit relief, yes dear Noraly, you did it! Keep glowing, never getting tired to say thank you for everything!

Safe travels and lots of love from Canada. You surely brought joy when speaking about getting back with ALASKA. That bike needs to be in a museum at some point. Surely a Keeper. BEST to the rest of AFRICA

How do you appear so happy and in high spirits after severe food poisoning I just don’t comprehend! Remarkable woman and sooo lovely. Think we have all fallen for you. Thankyou for providing us with by miles the best travel videos ever created. Doubt they will ever be matched.x

Incredible stamina and strength Noraly to ride all day on an empty stomach....and most amazing after an total energy draining illness. Thank you so much for the education of Madagascar through your narratives and absolute masterpiece cinematography. I knew nothing about Madagascar before you arrived there. To be in your top 5 or 3 favorite countries out of all the places you've been is a strong testament coming from you. Once again we see looking at a "main road" on map in Africa is no indication of condition! Thank You Always for sharing with us. Peace! ❤❤❤

Здравствуйте, Noraly💐! Два слова, БОЛЬШОЕ СПАСИБО, за ВСЁ что ВЫ, делаете, СПАСИБО… пожелаю душевного спокойного равновесия, крепкого здоровья. Берегите Себя, и до встречи в следующих видео🙏🏻✨🎆…

Monday and Thursday mornings are the best for me. I wake up early and start my day off by watching your latest episodes. I have now watched all of the seasons except Season 6, where I am up to Episode 58. You are an Amazing person. Thank you for bringing the world into our very homes. - Gus

What an adventure. Noraly has made me fall in love with Madagascar. I've learnt a lot about the country, people, wildlife and much more. My high was when Noraly went diving. I Love Madagascar. Thank you Noraly.

Instead of the modern rule of travel of time vs money Madagascar will be remembered by its own rule of good road vs rain. This is whole new perspective which leads to improve the patience. Thanks Noraly for very well narrated the new side of travelling.

I read the title & immediately thought about the customs in panama & knew she gonna make it "never underestimate noraly"

And now we know the real personal cost of your magnificent video log of your world travels, brought to those of us who live vicariously through you..and the fact that the food and water does make you ill in the locations, has been a question of mine for several years. Beautiful as Athena, with the digestion of a hyena. Thanks for all you do.

Hey, nice that you've enjoyed Madagascar. Superb rides and impressive riding skills you've shown and delivering back those bikes. Think that city is Ihosy - it's always so busy. Pretty sure you would make friends on your flight though after that day/s you might be sleeping! 😎 footage 👍

In closing this episode Noraly, I have to say, you look GREAT for being recently ill. I have all throughout the seasons wondered, eating street food 😳and NOT getting ill😵‍💫. That mystery has now been solved. I have to believe that riding in pothole strewn roads AND in the rain all the while not feeling the best, had to make the 400+K ride even more difficult! You are a BEAST! I'm glad you are safe. Here's reuniting with Alaska and "let's go"👍👍. Bob in Nevada

Hey Noraly. Thank you for this great Madagascar series and glad to see you fully recovered from the food poisoning. As you said, it’s all part of visiting so many diverse countries and cultures . Madagascar really looks like a fascinating country and with wonderful, friendly people. Looking forward to seeing the final leg of your Africa adventure. Cheers and stay safe, Dan. ✌️🏍🇨🇦

You have fallen ill, you have many inconveniences on your trips but you continue with that smile and optimism that inspires us and fills those of us who travel with you two days a week with life, please take good care of yourself.

For all the episodes weve been your pillon with my 2yr old son now (insert itchy boots voice) Oh! No thats how he says it when he does something wrong...itchy you've been a real inspiration...we really look up to new episodes...

You're doing well Noraly. From us the internet cousins we appreciate your good work. Be safe

Thank God that you're fine after the food poisoning 😢.A lot of Thank to a lot of people that made this serie in Madagascar posible.

What an amazing journey through that beautiful country now we’re back to Africa cannot wait 🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 Truro, Nova Scotia

Oh Noraly totally agree with you on health commentary. In every community there are those who “enjoy poor health “ because they regale all around them with their issues like we “need to know”. People ask me “How are you”? I always say fine! Because if I’m not I’m way better than the days I had malaria. Everyday is a blessing and all those I’ve known who have died would all expect me to be grateful to be Alive! Besides like all others I have Noraly as well! Loving your ‘work’ so much, very grateful I found you when I did...thankyou thankyou.

Really hoping Noraly can return one day to see all the Geological sites she wanted to see up the north 🙏🏽

Yay Madagascar!! Top 3 out of 100 per Itchy Boots!! That’s impressive!! So illness caused this mission driven ride! I could feel it all along…get there, get there, get there, just didn’t know why till the end! But of course Itchy Boots will make it happen with a smile!! Thanks for sharing this wonderful surprise adventure and for your partners in crime Francois and Didier for helping you make it happen!! And now, Let’s Go Alaska!! That’s enough break for you!! Ready for the next adventure!! Hugs and cheers from Texas USA❤❤

Riding into rain clouds and out again, Noraly is the universal ray of sunshine.

After my check the gas tank comment I wanted to say that after watching all of your older videos or at least a hundred of them, I just wanted to tell you I have the utmost respect for you you are one of the bravest and at the same time beautiful women that I have ever seen that takes it upon herself to travel around the world and is totally secure and who she is. I believe you're an awesome person on your channel there is no super thanks or super shout out where I can donate a few dollars and can't even join is what it shows me on RU-vid otherwise I'd throw you a few dollars just so you know. I actually look forward to your videos because you give an Outlook and perspective on some place that I'm never going to end up being in my life and I appreciate it.

Hi Noraly! Even Though you were not able to spend some sight seeing at Madagascar's capital before flying out, still this is like adventure into several countries. You were able to cover mud, sand, desert-like, mountains, greens, dry, rains, heaps of Baobabs, wild animals, being the first tourist on a remote village, a "bonus" luxury beach side villa with fine, sugar white sand and dive into one of the most crystal clear sea with a very stunning sunset.. and of course the warmth and hospitality of the people of Madagascar! Wow! AMAZING! Hope in the future you'll visit Madagascar and take us along with you again thru ItchyBoots! Hope you are feeling a lot better now. Excited to see Alaska too

Much Love from Namibia 🇳🇦

Final leg? NOOOOOOO! You can't be! You got to be Non-Stop for us :-) Incredible riding, I can't imagine riding like you do, I have been on bikes before, no small feat. Unimaginable lifetime of memories and encounters. Your living life to the MAX. Good for you! All the best from Nova Scotia, Canada!

Honestly, I don't know how Noraly does it. Back in my youth I did a few of these all day rides but on clean highways with hardly a pothole to navigate on a smooth riding road-bike. This is far beyond next level this is at the outermost extreme of difficult motorcycle riding and on top of it not feeling well. Not sure what category Noraly falls into but I would love to see if even veteran Navy Seals could do what noraly does almost everyday and I'm not even including the navigating, finding Internet, crossing borders and editing these wonderful videos. Well done Noraly !!!

"Sitting in the airplane with wet motorcycle gear, I'm not gonna make any friends." 😂🤣 Great ending to the Madagascar adventure Noraly.😄🥰❤

what can I say, beautiful Madagascar, good people, you got a new friend (Didier), we are waiting for a new adventure, I hope very soon🥰

Just to say thank you Noraly for taking us with you! Beautiful land, people and above all, yourself…..always your laughter and happy comments, even sometimes, under not so good circumstances; showing us to be grateful and humble. God bless you👍👏👏🙏🙏

Também ficava imaginando o estômago de ferro de Noraly que nunca passava mal...🤢Que bom que ela fez a declaração de que já passara por momentos bem ruins. Com isto ela retorna do Olimpo para a terra dos normais. Kkk Noraly é uma daquelas mulheres livres, fortes, focadas! Simplesmente continue assertiva Noraly! 👏🏼👏🏼💪🏼💄🙌🏼🪶😍 I also kept imagining Noraly's iron stomach, which never got sick... 🤢I'm glad she made the statement that she'd been through some pretty bad times. With this she returns from Olympus to the land of the normal. Kkk Noraly is one of those free, strong, focused women! Just keep assertive Noraly! 👏🏼👏🏼💪🏼💄🙌🏼🪶😍

What a lady you are, Miss Noraly....always see new parts of our earth while riding along with you...thank you for sharing with us...

This kind of material Noraly is delivering is so unique and informative. Your demeaner is delightful. Thank you for your hard work.

A wonderful, wonderful series on Madagascar. Even when you're not feeling 100% and you are running 'late' and it's rainy and full of potholes, Noraly, you still remain cheerful and calm! Good for you and great for us. ps the guy on the back of the truck...Spiderman!!

I am amazed at your ability to navigate such congested city streets with all the pedestrian traffic, rickshaws, vehicles, all going in different directions. I have ducked a number of times while watching your video.

Love from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳 I miss Alaska

I drove across Morocco with my parents in 1973. Good memories❤️

450 km and still got a flight to catch. You have become a beast.

Despite having a tough few days at the end of your Madagascar adventure your still able to smile and sign off at the hotel. You are a tough person, able to overcome challenges. Excellent vlog. Stu

Outstanding tour of Madagascar, while living in Pakistan it is not possible for me to visit this part of the world. Thanks for sharing with us this beautiful country. Love to see more and more . Regards Amir from Sialkot Pakistan

Red earth slick with rain, Dry boots hide itchy secrets. Lemurs greet, reefs call. *Haiku in honor of Itchy Boots' Madagascar trip.

Beautiful country, those Baobab tree's, and still so much more... But those roads... OMG 😱

You a true legend,your kindness,respect, amazing adventures that are surreal and breath taking,you remain resilient and give us an educated and honest visual,thank you
