[S2 - Eps. 72] Things took a turn for the worse in Peru... 

Thank you all so much for the many encouraging words. 🙏 It means the world to me that you are supporting me from all over the word in these hectic times. Please all be safe and take good care of yourself and each other ❤️❤️

The landlord definitely has a great heart. He must be under a lot of pressure from his fellow townsmen but still stands by our dear Noraly...

Looking at this video now two years later... unbelievable what we all experience and extremely valuable video to keep for the future and show how it was... thank you Noraly

Even though this video is old,it still hurts me listening to this story,I don't want anything bad to happen to this sweet soul💓!

I hope you know that 99% of your audience is not saying "I told you so" ... we are just thinking of you and wishing you all the best, and taking inspiration from your courage.

Who else can make an interesting motorcycle video with no motorcycle? You are a master story teller. Best wishes in these next days.

Watching this two years after you posted it, and having now seen all of Seasons 2 & 6, taken in the context of your entire trip, this is my favorite episode. It's so good that it deserves to be framed. Your logic was flawless, your spirit was strong, and your heart was full and forgiving. Thanks from the future for sharing yourself two years ago! --Time Traveler

Gut wrenching to watch the troubles you had. Your loyalty to Dhanno is inspiring.

24:43 "my motorbike is my life, and my home, and my job" ❤

The owner of the guesthouse is a good man.

Wow!! What a episode.... I'm just watching this video 2 years later. You really are emotionally strong and super positive Noraly. I admire you.

Two years later to see this video, what a hard time you had at Peru, but thanks Nora to show how brave you are. God bless You.

We are so sorry to hear about your situation. We live in Puno, we're from the UK but have residency to live in Peru. if you need any help please let us know. If worse comes to worse and you have to leave we have a place you could keep your bike. Our thoughts are with you.

Praise for the owner of the place you are staying ,Bless him .

The way you explains how uncomfortable you were feeling finding yourself unwelcome with no reason is crystal clear. This episode is a masterpiece. Explain so much about the actual society.

"The delight of today is" just amazes me your positive attitude and the ability to be able to find the positive during those difficult times! Truly inspiring! I am watching this 2 years later and feeling the same anxiety that I experienced under lock down!!!

Noraly I and many other people will so sorry to hear this, please be assured that you are loved and treasured by many people...please be careful...we love you and thank you. X

Hey Noraly. I’m a healthcare worker in the middle of the pandemic in PA/USA. Ignore the Monday morning quarterbacking. You are doing a really good job. And job #1 is staying safe and maintaining morale. You’re doing great at both. We really appreciate your communicating with all of us and your honesty and bravery. Keep it up and know that we all love you and will help you get what you need to continue on.

Wow. I’m glad I’m watching this in 2023 and not as it happened. It is heartbreaking to see how you were effected but also touching how some people helped. How you carried yourself is an example to us all.

This Dutch lady is the perfect example for the saying, “when life gives you a lemon make lemon aid”. What a great attitude she has.

Wow. A big "thumbs up" for the guest house owner, the Mayor and the Dutch Embassy. Wishing you a safe journey to The Netherlands, and return to retrieve your RE.

Wow. Interesting times. The guest house guy is a star - and surely a friend for life!

First time I’ve ever seen her sad. Breaks my heart because she’s always so positive.

Wow! That experience must've been so hard for someone who moves around the world freely! So glad you're moving around and finally reach your destination in Alaska!

This was the most intimate video you've ever shared.I hated seeing you in stress but loved this video more than any other. Simply because it was all about you. You are amazing Noraly. A very strong woman in every perspective. And just as much emotional at the same time. Eventually all this will come to an end and we'll all continue our lives like it never has happened. I hope this won't effect your dreams and you too will continue from where you left off. Greetings and love...

Oh Noraly, my heart dropped watching this video. On March 26 I "celebrated" my 65th birthday in isolation and felt very sorry for myself. No party, no bike ride, no positives. Your heartbreaking video made me realise tonight how lucky I am to have family near me. My wife is a frontline NHS nurse in ITU and sees the horrors of Covid19 everytime she goes to work. It breaks my heart to see her leave in the morning and I'm so relieved when she comes home, 14 hours later. I'm praying for her to stay healthy and safe and I'm praying for you to stay safe and return to your family. When Covid19 has run it's course, the world will still be there for you to discover and share with us. Ignore the knockers, ignore the ignorant commenters, stay positive, stay safe, stay well. Keep your distance, wear your face mask in company and wash, wash, wash your hands and don't touch your face. See you soon Geoff, Staffordshire, UK. 😷👍😷

I admire how well you were able to maintain your composure during this time. We love you , Itchy.

Watching this exactly one year later. So sorry you had to go through this Noraly.

Noraly, anyone who is saying "I told you to go home already" are people who don't travel beyond airports and hotels. They are just tourists they are not real travelers. You did what all the rest of us who do real travel would have done. Thank you for the update!

Hindsight is easy and the Internet is full of “know it all’s” Don’t let them get to you Noraly! Stay healthy, stay safe and …… hang in there! The world will calm down eventually… Until then safe travels and hope you will make it back to Lima in time to catch that flight back to Holland!

Watching this in 7/22. I really feel for what you went through there. I’m so glad you made it to the Netherlands safely. I am an American living in Mexico these last 26 years, I know how it is to be a foreigner, but thankfully the Mexican people have always been wonderful. (Well, except the bureaucrats!) I’m binge watching your videos in whatever order RU-vid gives them to me, and enjoying them immensely. You recently went through my town, San Miguel se Allende, and then through a former home, Dulzura, CA, after crossing in Tecate, so it’s fun seeing familiar places on the videos. Best of luck to you, may you reach Alaska safely. 👩‍🌾 🍃🌸🍃

I apologize on behalf of all Peruvians for having had a bad experience in Peru... I love your videos, I adore them!!!

Well, Noraly. I suspect when your feet touch Dutchie soil and mom wraps her arms about you, you'll feel at home. Perhaps for a little while. But those of us who have been lucky enough to have found you know your real home that moment in time when you and your beloved partner Dhanno explore the endless open road and world in front of you. You share that with us. I've been to so many places with you. This episode was extraordinary. The caged free spirit. And yet, no complaining, no self-pity. Fix the garden. Call mom from a Peruvian hilltop after a clever drone shoot. Solve a massive logistical and legal problem. And! A cliff hanger. Will Dhanno be saved? Your fans, I included, enjoy your bright positive spirit. But I've always admired that sharp intelligence hidden by the charming smile. I'm glad you explained how you ended up in a tiny room in a small town. Made perfect sense to do what you did. And the emotional connection with your proud steed Dhanno? Sure, it makes financial sense to not leave her, but you can't fool us. Over four thousand comments, so I doubt you'll have time to read mine. Still glad I took the time to comment. We canceled our month-long trip to South America ( from Canada) while you were dashing from Bolivia. I hope when the world returns to 'normal' I'll be in Buenos Aires watching you and Dhanno heading norte again. Now, off to your blog to buy you some petrol for that new adventure.

I have a close friend in Lima that could help you find safe storage for your bike if you make it there together. Buena suerte!

Thanks for this 🙏🏻 These are historically important documented data. 👍🏻

Me gusta el espíritu con que enfrentaste. la críticas y acusaciones de la gente de Peru eres. Una gran mujer te admiro mucho

That guest House owner is a great man.🙏

This is the most tense video I have seen on RU-vid. We’ll be on the edge of our seats for awhile!

Hi from the midwest area of the USA. I just found your channel half an hour ago! I'm 66, retired, no hubby anymore. I decided to buy a small, live in camper a week ago, and hit the road permanently in my truck, hopefully for many years. I've always been an outdoor woman, competed in horse show jumping, and raising my daughter. I have a wonderful, friendly, large and protective dog coming along. I hope to have many wonderful experiences like yours. I wasn't searching for your channel, it rather found me quite by accident - wonderful serendipity! I will be following your adventures, and soon creating many of my own. Much continued happiness to you, and happy trails.

Hello, I'm watching this video 2 years after all this confinement. The first half of this video was pretty fun to watch, now that it's all over. The second part was more worrying especially since you said that people were afraid of Europeans. I disagree about not blaming anyone because of fear. For me, fear is no excuse to act selfish. Fear should be a motivation to do better, something you have to overcome. By the way, this video was not boring at all.

I binge-watched your first season. One observation: you have the rare gift of immediately bringing out the best in people. And that includes your subscribers. I count on seeing you back on the road in a few months. You are clearly an addiction.

The owner of the guesthouse seems a nice guy, just take care and stay safe best wishes

I found your channel a week or so back, recommended by a wonderful gentleman who attends the same gym as myself - I'm addicted, admittedly I haven't watched in order. You are like a breath of fresh air, even in the most trying and testing of situations your positive outlook shines through. Keep being truly amazing, thank you for giving me the opportunity to see so many beautiful places and learn along the way. Much love and respect to you.

Wow Noraly, that was quite an unexpected addition to your adventure. Thanks for continuing to share your experiences over those challenging times. So glad you made it back to The Netherlands to continue with new adventures. Much appreciated.

my motorcycle is my life! that phrase that only motorcyclists understand ❤

Noraly, listen to your heart, and forget what the "armchair quarterbacks" advise. They are in no position to intelligently give advice. You are doing the right thing (I believe) in listening to your Embassy. You have many friends empathizing with you throughout the world. Keep your sanity in these adverse circumstances.

I have been following your stories for a while recently, and i must say after watching this episode, i came to admire your positive and hopeful attitude Noraly, despite everything that was going around you and being blamed for it (that was crazy though- lol), you kept your sense of humor and happy persona. You inspire us! Wishing you the best.

I've followed each vlog of this trip thus far and this episode has done more to illuminate the awareness, resilience, and grace required to navigate an international motorcycle trip than anything I've seen up to now. I'm really hooked now!

I watched this and I am absolutely stunned and amazed by your resilience, Noraly - I think we can all take a lesson from watching this. For all the people who were passing judgement on you - f--k them. I know from motovlogging on my own channel that the trolls who post negative crap don't have the guts to even ride on two wheels, let alone ride alone around the globe. I hope you make it out safely with Dhano and I am sad to know your trip will be cut short. All of us in the moto community watch and root for you weekly and your vlog brings a lot of joy to us all - especially now that we are all locked in our homes as well. Best of luck and safe travels.

Noraly, please stay safe. The gentleman at the guest house really is a good person.

You are absolutely amazing! My heart was breaking every second of this video. Our World has changed forever! You were right in the middle of a terrible situation and you handled it with so much grace and dignity. I assure you if the people in this town had seen any of your postings you would have been held as a hero in town. You were the perfect you g woman and you got through this! Your parents must be so proud of you. Again, thank you for sharing you life with all of us.

You’re a legend! I would love to sit down for coffee to listen and learn from you 👍🏽🤗

Hi Noraly, once my grandfather told me: You never take the wrong decision. I was to young to figure it out. Age, I'm 74, have proven me that he was telling the truth. At the moment, you take decision with the knowlege, experience that you have. Time after only proves if you were right. Since then other say's dont matter. Hope to read and see youre smiling again.

Well that escalated quickly. Luckily she is highly experienced traveller and can handle whatever rides bring to her. No need to give advise. Best wishes!

Watching this on 18 Dec 2021 but got so emotional and cried for you baby and your bike which I already knew couldn’t be repatriated - love you so much Noraly ❤️❤️❤️❤️

The bravest of the brave , Noraly ,God has made only one of you in this world. Bless you .

Day 4: I eat alone. Damn Noraly is starting to feel the pressure of being stuck in a place that's not home. It was LOVELY to hear you and your parents speak Olandese. Day 5: Noraly is a blonde, blue eyes foreigner... in Perù... yeah I didn't think about that until now. Day 6: The hospital is treating you like a walking virus. predictable... Day 7: Noraly became a VIP. A subject of public attention. Incredible... People are AFRAID of the "Lampa foreigner", you are like Thanos ahah This is the script for a movie. "I don't feel safe anymore". You've done a lot of crazy things, and yet this is the first time you've ever felt unsafe, in a small town of 14.000 people, because they think you brought the virus there. Lovely to know they would announce VIA RADIO that the blonde foreigner is not a risk ahah Day 8: Noraly is treated like an international terrorist Day 9: Noraly is doing adorable gardening (also to repay the hospitality and to not look like a virus monster, good move ahah) Day 10: it became a movie ahah, Noraly studying and jump cut editing! ahah Day 11: WHY are there 600 Olandesi in Perù? ahahah Holy meloni. The GOVERNOR visited her. She became a national attraction. She is basically in jail. But she works out. Day 12: Noraly quotes Italy! Yeeeeee (which in this moment is going down the toilet ahah) Yes, going back to Europe which is THE CENTER of the epidemic would have been pretty dumb. I had no idea you don't have a house in Olanda. The speed with how Perù closed the borders was... well VERY effective. They literally closed you inside. There is not really much you could have done. Day 13: FOOD FEST! That was lovely, I'm happy that the owners are treating you good. Could you imagine staying in quarantine with crazy motherfuckers? Not good ahah Day 14: I've never seen Noraly so angry and stressed. My gosh... I feel you, girl. It must suck. 33:12 you look sooo mad. Thanks to Juan, he is a boss. Let's repatriate the senorita! From the thumbnail we can see you managed to leave Lampa at least. I felt stressed for you, that looked like a movie! You rock Noraly. Also you didn't cry one single time, you must have iron nerves.

I am in the exact same situation!! I started my world trip in december, from Germany, made it "just in time" to the border with Iran (Im in Turkey) to escape the winter and make myself to India, but my visa was denied, then it took 25 days to get a new one (winter was already here, no way to ride my motorcycle) and then the borders got closed. I also have no home and no job back in Germany. Going back there? no option, I have no where to go. I will get a visa extension (I hope) next monday April 7th. I have been lock down in a room pretty much since January 30, I have experience the fear of the people here in Turkey from the foreigner, I also do not want to leave my motorcycle behind and have no money to transport it to Germany, and they have more virus there than here in Turkey. I want to start my channel but I cant, because i can not even travel, all I have is an instagram account. anyway, this is your video and your channel, just want to say i relate to you 100%

What a nightmare! Stay safe and keep riding! My husband and I watch your journeys together each night, complete with popcorn.....lol I look very forward to seeing more new episodes. I now have you on Facebook and have visited your website! Love and happiness from Columbia, SC USA

Its middle of December 2020 now.... I was stuck home back then, nothing to be afraid. I is good to see&learn how scary and unclear it really was for people out there far from home.! This is scary . I know now how that felt, and it shifted my outlook on things around me a lot. Thank you for showing us!

You are the strongest woman I have ever seen in my life. I wish you the best of everything.

Oh gosh! Finally you are going out of this town. But want to say thanks to the owner of that guest house . God bless you the brave heart. Noraly, I must have to say that world has changed, may be temporarily, but for the time being, it's for sure. Please take your utmost care. I have a request, please let us know when u reach your country. God bless you. You are my inspiration.... Best of luck

You are a champ and so inspiring. Love your adventures. Safe travels...

To all those who said Noraly "should have" done this that or the other. Many years ago I heard the saying "Advice should be given with monetary backing" . Noraly, you did all the right things in a volatile situation. As always you do not fail to amaze me, this was a very gripping video. Glad to hear it all worked out well. Bravo

This is getting interesting... I can't remember the last time i was so focused and obsessed watching a youtube video) 35 minutes past with a blink of an eye. A big hug from Armenia. Good luck!!

Living out your independence and following your passion makes many people uncomfortable. Courage scares most people who don’t know how courage feels. ❤️

Noraly, you have perfectly reasoned at every time. You were conscious, responsible and intelligent. And you took the right decisions at each time given the available information. All the government decisions were not programmed or announced in advance and we all had to adjust very quickly. In your case, it was much more difficult. And you explained everything perfectly well !! More of us should be as reasonable and kind and smart as you are. Once more, big thumbs up!!

This video and the subsequent episodes in this season form a valuable record of social history in the time of Coved. These are definitely some of your best episodes.

I actually had tears for you , that town reminded me of the Salem witch trials !! I hope to God you get out of there and to safety !! What an epic video Noraly !!! I wish you the best and pray you are safe !!! 👍👍👍

I realize that you don't know me from a hole in the ground. At this point I feel like I know you quite well. I truly admire your spirit. That was great drone footage. Oh Boy, watch out for the pitchforks and torches. People can do crazy things when scared. I am really glad you decided to share your non-motorcycle experience. I feel bad for what you are going through. Don't bother with those people telling you what you should have done. Anyone can be a Monday morning quarterback, hindsight is 20/20. Everything you have described that you have done seems very rational to me. I hope things work out for you it the best possible way. Thanks for sharing, ride safe.

You are a blessed Spirit! Stay strong and let the light guide you. Sometimes in life circumstances happen beyond our control. I would think by now you are doing fine. Many Blessings!

I just found out that the Peruvian government scaled up on the quarantine. Soooo hope that Noraly is on her way back to the Netherlands, or better, will have arrived. Best wishes to Noraly, but these wishes apply to all of you 🤝

Noraly - been following you for some time. If you need help in Peru with storage for Dhanno, let me know. I am involved with impact investing for smallholder farmers in Puno, Pulcalpa, Lima and Cajamarca. We have plenty of space in our warehouses that would be well protected without cost. Denny

Whoa, this is the first video I've watched of yours. Admire the way you've navigated this protracted unplanned adventure & the discipline shown throughout.

I’ve just discovered you on RU-vid going through your RU-vid channel. I’m enjoying this immensely. At episode 72 you lock down in Peru. Also my heart goes out to you and what you’re going through. I must commend you on your bravery I don’t think I have got the heart for what you’re doing. Thank you for your content very enjoyable again. Will be praying for you.

You are the most positive person I have ever seen! Your attitude is amazing!!!

Wow, that's some lot of difficulties you had victory over. You're tough, and you keep strong. I was slightly worried with the locals and everything, but see, you always find some good people everywhere. It's because, you're yourself such a good person and god always takes care of his best people. You're set out to make history, and I have full faith that one day when you and I are old, I will get to tell my younger ones, how you took dhanno around the world. You might not even know me, but I would always admire you. I bought my own Himalayan snow, after you and your basanti! God bless you girl, and you hang in there! Very few people in the world dare to live for their dreams, and even fewer make it bigger! Lots of love from India!

I’m watching this historically but I really felt for your situation, I was off work sick when local down came in but was surrounded by my family and plenty to do. I know what it’s like when travelling to miss a connection and be delayed a day but 15 in a room little more than a comfortable cell. Glad you got through to allow you to make such good travel films of Northern Europe x

Watching this video 3 years later, the whole situation is just as stressful as it was then. We all know how the story turned out but it could have been so different. I hope we never go through that situation globally ever again.

Dear Norally, I know everything is going to end well for you, don´t be discourage. I´m following you since you started you trip in Bolivia, I wrote you several weeks ago because I thought I could meet you in La Paz. I´m really hoping when this whole thing ends you´ll be right back in track with your amazing adventures, until then please keep us posted with your travel back to The Netherlands. Be safe!

Carry on my friend! This are complicated times for everybody. Just take care of your health and security, South America will be here when all this is over. I wish the best for you and and for all the friends on the comunity.

Este é um vídeo histórico. Super interessante o que vc passou no início da pandemia. Somos guerreiros e não fraquejamos por nada. Viva o motociclismo.

This must be one of the most gut-wrenching and saddest episodes I have watched since the beginning of your journey. The last time you had me in tears was when you saw your mom and dad after trip 1, I was sniffling then. Now I am bawling. I feel for you, and I agree it is the fear that brings out the hysteria with some people. I know you did finally reach the Netherlands safely. Hopefully, all is ok with Dhanno.

Girl, you have nerves of steel. I would've gone crazy being locked in this room/house for so long. Be careful and have a good flight home and good luck with Dhanno. You're an absolute inspiration to every motorcyclist around the globe and I really hope to see a lot more videos of your journeys in the future when things getting normal again. And don't listen to the know-it-alls, nobody knows what's in the future. It takes a lot of courage to go on a trip like this. Much Respect from Germany.

It is nice that your embassy cares and helps. There are so many embassies of other countries who do not care or give a damn other than selling hollow excuses not to help

Thank you for documenting this. It is truly a devastating situation but you endured it very well. I'm also very much impressed with the fact that you do not own a house. Stay safe.

You are absolutely amazing. You see the bright side of everything. The beauty you were able to capture in these difficult times speaks volumes. Your videos (this is my 2nd time watching them in order) just take me to where you are. The music choices are perfect for each video. Thank you for all of the work you put into these videos.

Age 70 locked down in my own home, so much concern. Then I watched this video and wow! my life is very simple. Good luck to you and Danone

Noraly, my husband and I admire you so much. We enjoy your sense of humor, your adventurous spirit, your kindness, your positive outlook, and your guts. We were touched by your phone call with your mother. She sounds just like you: happy, positive, trusting, loving. We are so sorry that your journey has encountered this interruption. We would love to hear how you are getting along when you are in Netherlands, too. I know there are others who feel the same way. You have so many positive, supportive followers. Be safe and be well.

You are a very brave woman, I get on your feet and feel the same, fear, and that it may happen to me in the days to come, if they accuse me of transmitting COVID-19 you were trapped in the middle of the beginning of the pandemis, thank goodness all went well

Things really did happen FAST in March. The first few weeks of the lockdown were weird for me as a truck driver. I was actually thankful when my husband's truck had to be in the shop for a couple of weeks, so we ran team in my truck. It was far less lonely then.

Noraly, glad to hear things are working out for you. Me and my husband, we been following your travel since last one year now. We are praying that you and Dhanno reach back safely.

For the 1st time I felt guilty for liking this video. I hope to god that this all works out. And to all those wonderful people here that have offered to help, You are amazing people. Stay safe everyone. 🇬🇧🇬🇧

Have been enjoying your current travels immensely but when I look back at this period, as an Aussie in Thailand I have some understanding of what a difficult time you went through. Even more respect and thanks. Noraly

I am sorry you have to deal with this, this event was super unexpected for the whole country. Greetings from Peru

Noraly, this clip broke my heart. My friends and I in Thailand have been following your journey since your first series. I never thought anything could stop you, let alone something like this. I may not know you personally, but when I see how you’ve been treated, it makes me really angry. I’m sorry. I’m assuming you’ve made it back to The Netherlands safely; otherwise you would not have been able to post this clip. Please update your viewers on your status as soon as possible. We want to know you are safe. Waiting anxiously. 🙏🏽

Noraly, I'm so sorry for you. I never for one second considered anything but that you had made the right move, were in likely one of the safer areas of the world and the journey would continue in a couple of weeks. As we all have seen, things are changing by the minute. I'm just glad your host in Peru from what you have shown is a solid "Rock Star"!!! I'm sure there are many of us out there that would not only like to help you but would like to show him our gratitude even if it is just a thank you note. I pray that your trip back to the Netherlands is safe and that you make it thru the next quarantine. Best wishes

thank you for being understanding ma'am noraly. I really admire you for being so broadminded about other people's emotion. hopefully you will always safe. God bless you ma'am..

You're so brave.... You're an example for the free people in the world. Thanks for share everything

Jumped the gun and laughed about how you told your mum “ein paar Menschen” are listening in, (I’m German, but can’t be too different), and then going on to listen to your worrisome stay. I’m so happy for the Peruvian help you’ve received, as well as the things you told me about your country’s embassy. I only hope to hear from you on the other side, wherever that may be. Good luck to you, and I hope you and Dhanno get to where you would like to be. My thoughts are with you.
