Was this a bad idea? REMOTE forest in ZAMBIA 🇿🇲[S7-E89] 

Hi Noraly, I have been depressed, unemployed, struggling Assyrian woman. I just binged the whole series from the start and am in tears - Your travels, unwavering strength & radiant positivity are so very inspiring. Thank you for giving me hope that one day I can smile as bright as you do ❤ much love from Detroit Michigan Edit: Ohhh wow I guess Noraly took away her like but did not expect anyone to care about what some random girl being vulnerable on the internet is going through. I am deeply moved and you’ve filled me with so much hope, made me feel loved. You are all so inspiring & all I can say is thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for being a wonderful community, thank you for sharing your struggles, offering gentle kindness, & showing me love. God Bless you beautiful people! You are amazing and I love you ❤

Give this lady a thumbs up folks. She's a ray of sunshine in a dark world. God speed noraly

I lived in Lusaka for 6 years. I actually know the gentleman who spoke to you on the "ferry thing." The one who said "serious!" What a small world. I enjoyed your Lusaka drive very much, memories ❤

International Woman’s Day just passed & you are an amazing inspiration to young girls everywhere to aspire, dream big & be resourceful. I am 75, raised in a cold climate where we had to wear dresses to school. Changes in my lifetime have been miraculous. Keep going!

Lions! Dropping the bike 10 times all alone and still smiling. If anyone earned a shower and a big dinner it is Noraly! Wow nerves of steel!

What makes Noraly’s videos so special is that her storytelling makes us all feel included in her journey. And we are privileged to witness her AMAZING journey! Thank you, Noraly ❤️

Our continent Africa is 30million square kilometres of breath taking Savannah , mountains ,rivers ,the most exotic wildlife found on the planet ,but most of all kindness, humility,generosity and love.welcome to Africa all of you .Noraly is a pure Gem !!

Noraly is a modern Amazon warrior ! With the metal horse she is travelling around the planet and taking us with her as witnesses to her bravery and strength! A BIG thank you Noraly!...😊

Soft sand is so awful on a bike. Your determination was fantastic. But like on a boat on the ocean when the sea kicks up, there's no going back, no stopping, your only option is to simply carry on. I am from Africa, I have driven similar roads. But alone, on a motorcycle? You are truly one of a kind, a genuine hero.

Dear Noraly, Having watched your video, I've come to recognize the profound depth and kindness within the Souls of Africans. As an individual of Indian descent residing in Malaysia, this realization has enriched my understanding and appreciation for the diverse and beautiful tapestry of humanity across the globe.

The world should crown u as the best traveller. Woman with a lioness heart❤

I love love love Zambian people, Zambia is probably the friendliest country in Africa (2nd to Ghana maybe) , been twice & im already planning my next trip! 🥰🥰

Who all heard Volkswagon and then got to know its Ox wagon?😅, A salute from India to Noraly, may you achieve more success.

Watching from Zambia. Welcome to Zambia. Land of peace

Oh lovely Zambia! I spent 2 beautiful years there and loved racing through the countryside on my little Yamaha.

“Lion ambush” isn’t what you want to hear when you are alone. That was a very difficult road to navigate but at least Alaska still has 2 mirrors. 😂❤️❤️

I'm an old man who can no longer enjoy the adventures of life, so enjoy watching your challenges, your enthusiasm, and your courage. I have seen all of your exploits and admire the positivity, endurance and tenacity, but be careful as Africa can hurt you in so many ways.

That guys expression at the river crossing was priceless! 🤣

Am learning so much about my continent through your travels. You are one brave soul. Much love from South Africa.

Africa is such a stunning continent!! Thank you for taking us with you

Noraly..! Thanks you for giving us the honor to enter in your world of adventure , ride with you and to know places, people. It's so cool,so magical.❤.

I want to visit Zambia one day, loved this film.

am delighted to see you ride through Zambia my peaceful country. i recall having met those fuel attendants in Zambezi at that filling station.

Welcome to Zambia 🇿🇲 We are happy to have you here!! We are a warm hearted people!! Enjoy your stay

Her smile melts my heart 😢 So courageous ❤ So inspirational, for ppl in general but especially for us women ! Lots of love and blessings from Rishikesh, India🕉

Norally, You have what the Finnish people call sisu! Unrelenting determination during insurmountable adversity! Love your videos.

Strong Norally ,Fell down 10times but still smiles Mehn!! your the beast👊👊👏

Watching from Newfoundland , where we are blizzard bound . I love seeing her videos , she is so joyful and happy . Hope she rides every road in the world !

🇮🇹 Here WE are, folks! Gooood Afternoon, Noraly, Internet, sisters and brothers, let’s gooooo, as usual! 🇮🇹

Hi everyone, Visit Zambia we are ready to accommodate you and host you. Thanks @ItchyBoots for showing our beautiful Zambia, my Beautiful Zambia

Geezus.....Noraly does this almost everyday.....Year after year..... Physically strong, mentally tough, emotionally stable dealing with uncertainty and adversity. THIS is a woman my daughter should know. I sent her a link to Noraly's channel.

Welcome to the smile/butterfly of Africa 😊, been looking forward to following your journey through my motherland of Zambia. Wishing you safe journeys, hospitable people, beautiful moments and hope you'll get to see the mighty Victoria falls ❤.

I am a simple man. I see Noraly video...I hit like.😊😊 Thank you so much for showing us the world.

No need to worry about lions, she IS the lion here! Wow, what a power woman

Zambia ku chalo, finally you are in Zambia. You are welcome

charismatic, very attractive, strength to the core, focused and an enduring force... A lion would look at you and walk away in shame... Much respect to you Noraly

Your channel restores hope in mankind. Thanks for taking us on these amazing journies.

Welcome to the land of peace and friendly people. Zambians we're welcoming and friendly people enjoy your stay Noraly!!🇿🇲

Thank you for teaching us that a fall is not a setback, that traveling through dangerous places is learning survival, and that being cordial and affable is giving happiness wherever you go. Infinite thanks

Welcome to Zambia

The whole of Western Province is super sandy🤭🤭🤭🤭! We call it Kwa Haye (western province nickname). The language widely spoken by the locals is called Lozi. Enjoy your ride.😊😊👌👌

Sunday mornings are my favourite! Another episode of Africa tour!

Good to see you riding through my country Zambia, I have been watching your videos for sometime now, I didn't know that one day you will pass through Zambia. Enjoy your passage here in Zambia.

Empowering people all over the world. Showing determination, perseverance, humanity, grit, focus, humour and fun. Beautiful, thanks for sharing, cheers 👍

Oh, my goodness -- I struggle and sweat along with Noraly with every challenge she faces, I was counting the bike drops and I was shouting: 'Take the middle instead of the ruts!' It was as if she heard me, then she let some air out of the tires, I was exhausted AND I AM ONLY WATCHING FROM THE COMFORT OF MY HOME IN CANADA😂 Noraly, your selection of music to complement your footage it is so good does proper justice to the magnificence of the landscape. I am enjoying this series along with so many thousand of your fans👏👏👏 GO ITCHY BOOTS, GO ... 🏍🏍🏍

Hii Norally, my name is Taufik, im from Indonesian🇮🇩🇮🇩, I really like your adventure videos

I grew up riding motorbikers in neighbouring Zimbabwe, and these sandy slippery roads are real memories!

She dropped Alaska 10 times and got a room with number 10 😀(23:00) , Very well done Noraly and happy you are safe.

Another episode is here again, all fans of Noraly and Alaska let's gather here, let's watch with 🍿😊😊. Nothing is as classic as Noraly videos.

born and raised in zimbabwe i can feel that sky, smell that rainy season bush and air. my heart breaks for it. 🙏

Noraly, you are double tough. I dump the ol’ DR 650 in deep sand a half dozen times, and I start to lose interest. Because picking up a fully laden bike is exhausting, and riding in deep sand is exhausting, and doing it over and over again is _really_ exhausting! Your fortitude, persistence and positive attitude set a fine example for us all. I hope Alaska is OK! 😃

I watch from the US. I love watching your epic adventures! Thank you for showing things that I’ll never see in my life! Such beauty in nature and people! I’m amazed at every post! May you continue safely on your journeys!

By looking at the map and coordinates i think you reached a point that you crossed all latitudes in African continent. Which means that you achieved riding all of Africa by road. From North to south in two different seaons. What a milestone ! Congratulations 👏 🎉

Noraly, all those falls never broke your spirit! That is why you are so beloved! Nothing stops you! That ride kicked your butt, and you and Alaska kicked right back!! Congrats on making it! Well done! BTW your longer hair looks beautiful on you! Love it! Hugs and cheers!!

Your an experienced rider, you probably already thought about it. Instinct after a fall is to get back onto the saddle and go again. I find it helpful to wait a moment to get over the exertion of lifting the bike, and relax a few minutes to cool down before getting back on, allows the body to rest, and cool down, a mental and physical reset. Too often people rush to remount the bike and go, and the fatigue tends to multiply, rider over heats and crashes become more often, than if they had rested and cooled down to restart fresh.

Goeie dag Noraly, I just watched and enjoyed your ( S7-E89) trip in Zambia and lowering your tyre pressure on a sandy track is a very good technique as this lengthens your tyre footprint giving a larger surface area on top of the sand so you will not sink in as much. Your chance of getting a puncture will also be reduced. Think of it this way, a fully blown up balloon can be easily punctured with a pin, a half blown up balloon is much harder to puncture with a pin because the rubber of the balloon is much more flexible. The same with a tyre, at lower tyre pressures the rubber is more flexible and the Tread can conform to the shape of the object you are driving over reducing the chance of a puncture.

A proper ferry, instead of a canoe. The roads look much better for sure. No more knee deep in clay. Thanks for your hard work and dedication bringing us another awesome video. 😊

Recently discovered you a few weeks ago and have been binging your African playlists. Incredibly talented, incredibly courageous. The Dutch mumbling always makes me smile. Stay bold, stay awesome 🤘🏼

At 77 and with mild cancer, life can be dull at times but your videos are like regular pep pills and make 25 minutes zoom by in a delightful way. You inspire with bravery, cheerful optimism and sheer determination. You are a lesson in spirituality wrapped up in boots and a crash helmet. Bravo! You also provide a contemporary picture of the state of modern central Africa. As an ex-Rhodesian it brings back wonderful memories but frustration at the lack of improvement to so many African lives. Things look no better than when I travelled in Zambia shortly before independence.

Your intro whenever you enter a new country is something to die for. I feel like I have traveled across Africa with you. I hope nothing got broken when you fell. The can do spirit you have is all that many need. You are my hero. Thank you. ❤❤❤❤

We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.” I love you Noraly, and I am a big fun from Lusaka Zambia. I am still keeps my hopes to meet you here in Lusaka Zambia.

Always look forward to Wednesdays and Sundays as I know I’ll be making a trip over Africa with Noraly at the helm.

Soft sand is tough going but you made it through. Such a stunning but remote region. I am glad you made it to the lodge. Alaska is still the best choice for this journey. A motorcycle road racer told me that if you don't fall off you are not trying hard enough! Thank you for taking us on your incredible journey. Safe travels.

Welcome to Zambia 🇿🇲🇿🇲🥳. Loving you from Lusaka.

Madam you are such an incredible person a real super woman keep it up and welcome to Zambia ❤

In "Zambia Shall Be Free" by Kenneth Kaunda, he recounted an incident of being waylaid by a lion, in one of his travels throughout the country to rousing the political consciousness of the people, in the 1950s/60s. Instead of surrendering effortlessly, he wrote that he scared off the menacing lion by raising up his bicycle shoulder high (as if to attack the lion with it). I read this book over years ago but I recalled this incident by your imagining that the narrow-muddy-grassy path you plied looked like a lions' ambush magnet. I admire your bravery in plying these lonesome bushy pathways, keep up the great adventure. Zambia so far reminds me of my Eastern Nigeria homeland, I can't wait to see the rest of your exploration of this country of West Africans-seeming people.

I cherish your determination riding across Africa. These nations deserve more innocent, beautiful explorations of the vastness and diversity of all of this continent. Bravo!

Africans have to travel the same routes and many times on foot carrying things. I admire those that are committed to their villages and the children. The best path in our heart is the narrow path , watching Noraly revealing the things we can't do is wonderful. God created in six days and you can see the beauty .

Welcome to Zambia 🇿🇲 ❤❤

Man oh man! You are such a treat to watch. Thanks for taking us along on the ride. Gobsmacking stuff. Respect! Lady respect!

Glad you made it to Kaoma - ten falls in one day must be a new record for you. Glad Alaska held up alright and that she didn't have any major breakdowns. Hope you get a good meal and a shower at your accommodations. Once again you are lucky - hard to say if the shortcut was a good idea but at least you made it through all your falls. Stay safe, stay well, get some rest, and be careful. Enjoy the journey and keep up your great attitude. You have to be sore after all of those falls but at least you had no injuries.

Noraly, as an African living in the diaspora I love your content and look forward to each and every episode you post. I binged on your videos after discovering you by accident and never looked back! Cheers my friend from a fan you don't know. I adore you!!

You are now near Kafue National Park, and the Kafue Gorge (River) Power Station, and the many incredible Wildlife National Parks on either side of the Zambezi. I toured and worked all around this area. Thanks for the re-visit Noraly! 😊

Another beautiful day of riding! The man at the ferry’s face was priceless as you related the countries you had ridden through! Your interactions with the people are amazing. A good dirt road is better than no dirt road! Did safe Noraly!

I am a 67years old business man traveling all over SE Asia and after a hard days work sit down and watch you every evening or early am and get inspired and see you so determined to go on and on. You’re so amazing. Thank you. When my wife ask me what you doing I am with this Dutch lady

This Dutch Lady never, never quits ... Ride On ... Ride On !

Noraly you're truly a strong energetic brave traveller. Thank you dear for showing us the world around. Keep doing it!

A beautiful, bright day in Zambia!☀️ You got quite a workout, a test of your upperbody strength! 💪🏻 You did it!!! 😊

One good lesson from Noraly. Never give up. Move on❤❤❤ Shes keep on smiling.

Hey Noraly. So many drops in one day must be exhausting, and as always, you and Alaska conquered the sandy track with no damage. Another great demonstration of your skill and tenacity. Kudos to you for your positive attitude on challenging rides. Thanks for this great video. Cheers and safe riding. Dan ✌️🏍🇨🇦

“I made it” “I made it”! Good thing that was the good dirt!! It’s like you’ve said before, Noraly, it’s always something! That soft sand really tested your skills AGAIN!! It felt like rally mode!! But of course you can do it! And Alaska has proven again that she can do it too! Even with all those struggles, you continue to deliver great footage with great music! Thank you! Hugs and cheers from Texas USA❤❤

As an Aussie I still find it amusing at the distances for the days ride. Have to admit Zambia’s scenery is excellent, so far so good for Zambia.👍

Well done Noraly....your stamina and energy is indeed impressive having fall and lifting up the bike more than 10 times!!!....and once again your ever so super reliable partner Alaska didn't let you down....Alaska is indeed bulletproof! 💪💪💪

I just love how fearless Norally is, riding in the middle of nowhere. She is so adventurous.

Each one of the videos in this season amaze me all over again with how beautiful and unique each part and country in Africa truly is. It is Her greatest wealth and resource, and although we know how important it is to use and develop natural resources in order to better the lives of the people, i do hope that each country finds a way to do this without the great loss of large natural beauty that so much of the world has lost and is still losing. Africa is such a beautiful jewel! Thank you, Noraly, for sharing it with us!

I thought you said "Volkswagen" when you saw the Ox pulled cart but then I realized you said "Ox Wagon". I was laughing out loud because I thought you made a joke about VW.

Watching from Zambia 🇿🇲. Please enjoy our beautiful and peaceful country.

Hello Noraly: Fairly new subscriber here. I've been watching regularly several recently and liked it very much, THEN all of a sudden came to realize that your channel OUTSTANDING and became a super fan! Love your adventures and have been binge watching videos to "catch up" and then came to the conclusion it's very difficult to catch up. I watch daily and 👍 every episode from the beginning, I've never been disappointed in any video. Be safe and I will continue to watch. God's blessings to you 😊🙏

Alaska likes to take a sand nap, first on the port side, then on the starboard, several times this day. Noraly will sleep well with all the exercises on the way. What a save from the sand and vistas that she show us today.

Thank you Noraly you are such a ray of sunshine to so many of us. May the good lord keep you safe and bless you with many good friends in your travels.

I am a machine programmer and watch your Amazing videos …. Thank you for all you do it’s makes me happy knowing you are out there doing your thing… many prayers for your safe travels.

You're pure sunshine, Noraly. Tipping over a dozen times on a solo ride with luggage and still smiling. That's the joy of life and travelling, while many people moan all day. Thanks for your channel. Happy days, Günter/Nürnberg

Hey itchy. I havent been on a bike for 4 years now since an old fart in a car almost killed me.. turns out, all i needed was som inspiration, and your videos gave me that inspiration. Thank you. Keep em coming

Liebste Grüße aus Deutschland und danke dass du uns mitnimmst auf deine Reisen❤

Zambia is cool, Zambezi is a beauty keep on keeping on we are with you all the way Naraly.

I find it amazing that you do not get flustered by the challenges you face during this trip. Sometimes when i watch you fall i try from here to lift you up hahahaha. You have a remarkable attitude to set back and i am glad i found your page ❤️ from 🇳🇬

Welcome to Zambia. I never miss an episode.....this right here beats any show on any travel blog or channel. You have the best content as it allows your audience to feel and sort of experience every journey with you. Priceless

Can’t get enough of your Channel!

I did not know about this channel until 2 days ago when I was researching for a trip I want to do with my 14-year-old daughter. I watched your S7E81. I was so impressed that I had not watched anything else for 2 days. It almost feels like my days of watching the Breaking Bad series. I could not stop watching. I am in Nakuru, Kenya, and I am sure that is one of the places you must stop when you get to Kenya. It will be a jol for my daughter and I to meet, and probably host you.

Falling ten times and still smiling. You are a true hero and a miracle Noraly. Be blessed. So many people in their darkest moments are drawing inspiration from you to lighten and brighten their days. 🙏
