Was this even a good idea? |S7 - E14| 

That drone shot, with you sitting under the only tree for miles around - was simply amazing.

I am Moroccan and feel that you're showing me my country in a way that I had never seen or even imagined it. Thank you very much. Peace.

I am Iranian, i see your courage, self confidence, diligence, persistence (and pardon me :some craziness) which is impressive, women...life...freedom.

Noraly is an amazing world ambassador. The world would be at peace if more people were like her.

It is ironic. In the middle of the desert you are absolutely alone in hundreds of kilometers and at the same time, tens of thousands of inhabitants from all over the planet are following you, hoping that you arrive safely at your next destination. You are awesome NORALY.

18:09 One woman, one tree, one bike, one desert, one sky! Simply spectacular episode Noraly.

You chose the loneliest tree to stop and take a break. That tree must have been very happy to have a visitor.😃

The most beautiful motorbike adventure Ive seen on RU-vid in 20 yrs and still watching. Youve actually seen a mirage 😊

The drone shots of you sitting under the only tree for hundreds of miles was absolutely amazing. Doubt that type of picture has been taken before. It should be put forward for an award. Loving this series. Stay safe Noraly 💖💖

Oh my word….. what an incredible landscape. You see photos but the drone footage was just phenomenal. One tree….. one bike……one mad woman…… and sand, a whole lot of sand. 😁 I absolutely LOVE your adventures Noraly. Thank you for taking us to areas of this incredible world that many of us would never get to see ❤️

The drone shot of Itchy Boots having lunch in the shade of a lonely tree in the middle of the desert was quite remarkable.

When she stoped near to the tree, in the midle of desert...feels like a peaceful moment. Astonishing drone scene by the way! Regards from Brazil

It's already been said by others, but that drone shot pulling back leaving you as a tiny speck in the vastness of the desert was beyond amazing. A real indication of how insignificant we are as individuals. Having said that, your adventures and exploration pushes you further forward on the significance scale than most human beings. Bravo, Noraly!!

The "tree in the desert" scene at the 18 minute mark is probably the most impressive photography you've ever done, truly mind boggling!

I do realize that Itchy won’t ever see this message but, maybe if enough people wish her a very happy birthday today, she might see some of the well wishes! Happy birthday young lady and hope you have a wonderful and safe adventure this season!! 🎂🎈🎉

That drone shot of you having lunch under the only tree within sight in any direction is fabulous!You are unbelievably courageous. Best wishes from Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania.😊

You deserve a RU-vid cinematography award if ever something existed. You and that tree sharing that remote place on our precious planet. Very profound place. Keep it up!

A few episodes ago someone commented that this season in Morocco is boring. Now I am wondering how boring his life must have been if he can’t enjoy and appreciate this amazing episode. Way to go Noraly……. Stay safe🥰

Edit: Appreciate all the support

When I saw your drone shots when you have been sitting alone had your food it was like desert lioness sitting like majestic and it was awesome and unbelievable drone shots almost like Hollywood movies seen . spectacular view from the sky but that location is terrific and terrible to watch.

Incredible episode. The lunch time drone shot was spectacular. I also really enjoyed the way you chatted to us while you had your lunch. So relaxed and natural, as if all million+ of us were just one friend, sitting in the desert, having lunch with you and chatting.

That drone shot, of you under the only small tree for miles, is the signature shot for this season!

Filmography through the desert is absolutely EPIC!!!

My goodness, that One Tree in the middle of the desert ...!!! What an aerial view ... Thank you, thank you ...!!!

Noraly found the lonliest tree in the world, and kept it company for a little while.

I'm an old man in my 70's, and I've done some stuff in my life. But I'm in absolute awe of this womans' courage.

Bonjour Noraly, Je tenais à vous remercier pour la qualité de votre contenu sur le Maroc. En tant que Marocain, j'ai été étonné de voir comment vous avez réussi à capturer la beauté et la diversité de mon pays d'une manière que je n'avais jamais vue auparavant. Vos vidéos sont incroyables et m'ont donné une nouvelle perspective sur mon propre pays. Je suis heureux de voir que vous avez apprécié votre voyage au Maroc et que vous avez pu partager votre expérience avec nous. Vos vidéos sont non seulement divertissantes, mais aussi éducatives, et j'ai beaucoup appris sur mon propre pays grâce à vous. Je vous remercie pour votre contribution à la promotion de la culture marocaine et pour la diffusion de la paix à travers vos vidéos. Vous êtes un véritable ambassadeur du Maroc dans le monde entier. Encore une fois, merci beaucoup et continuez votre excellent travail. Cordialement,

@18:07 a single tree standing alone in all that vast bareness is such a sight to behold.

I am blown away by how well Noraly captured the scenes in a desolate area. Her words were few during rest breaks, but characterized the feeling of what its like to be there. Call me goofy but I wish I could have been there to experience it. Really appreciate the little details she provides like fuel management, how the rear tank works, the capacity of the fuel bag, the type of food she brought, water supply, etc. The drone footage is absolutely AWE-INSPIRING. In its own way, the area is as amazing to see as the Andes. Also appreciated her detailed update at beginning on the area conditions and hazards. Thank you so much Noraly. Peace ❤❤

I think this episode reaally showcased Noraly's confidence in "Alaska". To set out across the desert isolation took a good amount of trust in her equipment.

20:08 The whistling sound of the air hitting the mic combined with the views, adds to the whole desert visual experience.

I’m a retired news editor living a short walk from the Atlantic Ocean in coastal NJ, and thankfully, even as I age, my curiosity remains as insatiable as ever. Thank you, Noraly, for taking me on this ride with you and showing me the beauty of so many cultures and lands.

A moroccan American here who's learning about my birth country more in your videos! Super quality RU-vidr!! and thank you for visiting and showing the Beautiful peaceful morocco 🇲🇦

I am a Malaysian. My ancestors on my mother’s side are from Morocco. I have always wanted to visit Morocco and now after another amazing ‘tour’ with Noraly , I must go. In Sya Allah.

As a geologist also u inspire me to explore more of the earth part again one women one motocycle what an amazing geoladyst 💪

The moroccan sahara is so wonderful and specialy dakhla and it regions !!, I hope to do this road trip one day on 4x4 car !

There should be a commemorative plaque on that lone tree with the inscription, "Itchy Boots dined alone in the shade of this tree in March 2023." An unbelievable journey made believable by an intrepid young woman traveling alone with her trusty bike, Alaska. Thank you once again for taking us along.

I am a Moroccan citizen and I actually envy you while enjoying that stunning scenery.I really cherish your determination and bravery . Keep that everlasting beautiful smile of yours and wish you a safe ride.

As someone who has traveled in the deep desert I think this video captures the experiance magnificently. And as someone who has watched the entire Itchy Boots catalog I beleive this episode really shows what Noraly is all about. Although she loves her interactions with the people she meets her joy when experiancing the great wild wide open spaces seems to resonate to her very core. As Carly Simon said, "Nobody does it better."

The aerial view of the drone where it shows you in the only small tree within the immense solitude of the desert pierced my head, incredible !!!! 😯😯

I am speechless indeed. To have the courage to do a solo trip on a desert like this requires an extraordinary person. That drone circle in the middle of the dessert while you having your break to eat was mesmerising. Indeed you are a very very unique human being Noraly and I thank you for doing these videos. Personally you enrich me beyond you can imagine. It is crazy you don't have more subscribers and also that so far no one of those big famous Doco channels have hired you. If someone is the perfect host for such a channel is you. Amazing. You are just amazing and I am writing this in Australia at 1:30am on Saturday because I always wait for your episode to be upload, watch it and then go to sleep happy.

A lone tree in a vast landscape provides Noraly with shelter - incredible, breathtaking drone footage! The deceptive allure of a desert mirage like water on the horizon is truly a bizarre experience, so mesmerizing too! I witnessed that for several days whilst traversing the Sahara in Sudan decades ago. Mirages play deceptive mind tricks! Noraly, your levels of self awareness, confidence and courage to undertake this trip - 600kms of desert - all by yourself is remarkable and awe-inspiring. Kudos. You're an absolute legend!!!

Noraly..you are making history..You are an inspiration to a lot of people..thank you for sharing your adventures with the world…💕💐

I'm just in awe of the drone footage you record... and your choice of music is on target every time!! My son passin through, wondering why I'm doing exotic dancing in the sofa and watching my phone...😂 Thank you Noraly... you're amazing!!❤

Not only are you an inspiration to all "adventure riders" But your "can do" attitude is truly an inspiration to women and girls everywhere. There are many men, myself included who wouldn't do what you do. Stay safe on your wonderful adventures. I think when you are my age you will live with no regrets. No " I wish I had "or "should have". Living life to the fullest. I am in awe.

one desert, one women, one bike, one drone, one tree. This is why we love thee. You go girl, live your dreams ,we'll live them with ya. Much love from New york

Hi Noraly, A mirage is an optical effect that is sometimes seen at sea, in the desert, or over a hot pavement, that may have the appearance of a pool of water or a mirror in which distant objects are seen inverted, and that is caused by the bending or reflection of rays of light by a layer of heated air of varying density. A very common occurrence in the desert :) .

DUDE RIGHT!?!? I found myself rewinding (dating myself with that term) to watch it again and again! The empty beauty of the desert is simply stunning, and yet seeing the swirling color changes...it's just so beautiful in it's own way.

As a Moroccan who looks and speaks like the people there, I doubt that I can do this ride alone. Your drone video under the tree is unforgettable; it's by far my favorite one. Respect!

My mom and her parents came to the USA to live from Friesland back in the day on a ship 🚢. And back then that was considered a BIG accomplishment 😊 Now seeing a Dutch girl traveling the world at such a young age is beyond cool. Her parents have to be proud to see their daughter doing more in life than 99% of most people never see their own country. Thanks for taking us along on your journeys And a BIG shout out to her parents for raising such a good human being. Because she has a big impact on the world 🌎 when interacting with others. Proud to be Dutch

I see places through your travels ...luv it. Stay safe.

Amazing, make me want to go to Morocco. That is remote on another level. Safe journey and thanks for recording your amazing travels.

I'm Moroccan and I'm so proud of you, cause to do a solo trip in the middle of nowhere is not easy for everyone but you are a brave and extraordinairy woman. Welcome to Visite me at Marrakech in your way back😍

As everyone is saying in their own way, your videography skills and willingness to go beyond others, are really top notch and totally unique. You're so naturally friendly that everyone treats you nicely, I hope.

I only found your channel a couple of weeks ago. It has become one of my all time favorites. Can't hardly wait to see the next leg. Noraly is a young woman I only wish more could be like her. Be safe. Till next time...

I am American and am a person who requires a lot of alone time but you take it to extremes beyond my comprehension! I admire your bravery and determination!

Noraly is always spinning the positive. Love that! "Oh look, a tree! A pile of rocks!" The very absence of anything is quite something. Thanks Itchy Boots for always bringing great content even when you have to make something out of literally nothing. Morocco, you are an interestingly beautiful place.

I just recently started watching Noraly as she makes her way through Africa and it is amazing. This episode struck me. You stray off the track and there are landmines? Yikes! What in the world happens if you break down or run out of gas? Hundreds of kilometers of nothing, not even a tree. You are exceptionally brave, and it is compelling watching you.

Traveling through a deserted desert, no one else for 200 miles and she casually takes it on like we do on a stroll through town! The drone footage where she was under the lone tree was epic!

I am now showing this to my wife who is also Moroccan and my daughter. We live in the U.S. This is amazing. Will share it with my entire family back in Morocco!! The COURAGE you have. The COURAGE. Amazing.

The shot of the entire desert and the one lone tree with the drone was absolutely incredible! Noraly you are one brave bad ass!

My wife and I enjoy all your videos but this one is incredible. We're going to do the loneliest road in America but at least there's a few towns in the 300+ miles. The drone showed the solitude of your journey!!

my girlfriend is like what the hell are you watching all the time? itchyboots i'm addicted, she's not happy but cant wait for more episodes😀👍👍

I am Moroccan and I’m happy because you visit my country and my city Dakhla we have a beautiful beach and a cool weather there ,welcome to Moroccan Sahara 🇲🇦

The only reason I can watch some of these incredible videos is the fact that if I’m seeing it, you must have arrived safely at your destination. What you are doing is incredible and being able to share it is an honor. Stay safe. Thank you for the privilege of being a part of your journey.

I just love Morocco so much, the diversity in all aspects of the country is stunning!

Hi Noraly,i absolutely love your videos and following your adventures 👏. That drone shot of you and Alaska sitting by that single tree in the middle of the dessert was amazing,one of your best shots ever 👏🤠

I’ve said before and I’ll say it again, WOW I’m so jealous. Noraly’s multitasking is wonderful, the camera work, commentary and all the other skills make her so special.

Noraly has an endless amount of stamina and is always so positive. The camerawork and especially the drone footage is of an incredible standard.

Noraly you have given us so many beautiful drone shots over spectacular terrain but I must say your drone footage of you, Alaska and that sole tree in the desert was in my opinion the most dramatic thus far! AWESOME Gracias!!

Ok, the drone pan-out in the desert gave me CHILLS ❤

Hi Noraly...I remember when you first arrived in the USA (to San Diego) from Mexico on your way up to Alaska...I live in San Diego & I had assumed that you would just take a scenic drive up the coast along Pacific Coast Highway for at least maybe the trip up to Los Angeles...instead, after spending about a week here in San Diego getting Alaska serviced, you immediately headed west out deep into the Anza Borrego Desert in the late summer, when it was still exceedingly hot out there, all by yourself (something not too many local people, who know the very well, would ever venture to do)...&, now here you are in North Africa, all alone in the middle of an even much deeper, almost completely barren desert 🏜...you really are amazingly courageous woman!

Noraly deserves a oscar in best editing & documentary!!

Just as I finish watching this video , it inspires me to go on a ride adventure. Ill be on asphalt for about sixty miles, lots of traffic, never more than 20 miles from gas. With cell phone coverage. I am brave.

I love how you found 1 tree in the middle of the desert to eat lunch under!!!🙏❤️❤️❤️

Watching you just sit under a tree and eat your lunch in the middle of the desert shows that you are exude confidence and courage. I am more impressed every year.

OH, WOW - This is an adventure of mega proportions. Traveling such great distances with no infrastructure but only relying on what you are carrying with you it is epic!!! Finding the one and only little tree in the desert to stop to have a rest and little something to eat, incredible! Then reaching a town where there is no room for our Itchy Boots, unimaginable! Noraly you had my respect before but now I am in awe of you and your spirit of adventure. GO ITCHY BOOTS, GO ... 🏍🏍🏍

You are a legend Noraly, Hats off. Truly amazing

You are amazing! An inspiration. Thanks for sharing your journey

Dans le désert, Saint-Exupéry a rencontré le petit prince. Noraly, sous le seul arbre dans le désert, à des centaines de kilomètres de toutes civilisations, elle a fait la découverte d'une grande solitude 🤔Nous qui la suivons depuis longtemps, on a fait la connaissance de la petite princesse!! 🤩

The isolated tree …. Drone shot …. Simply one the best cinematic moment 🙏😊🙏

Wow, your biking experience is truly inspiring! As your big fan, I can't wait to start exploring locally in Zimbabwe on my bike. You've shown me a whole new side of my country, and I'm feeling more excited than ever to get out there and start exploring today. Thank you for inspiring me to go on my biking adventure - I can't wait to see where it takes me!

I‘m following you since season 3 and I am used to your high quality footage but the drone shot under the tree is probably a once-in-a-lifetime scenery you will never forget and absolutely brilliant video material that will make into all of your future “best of” video clips. I admire your bravery and optimism, what a ride! I wish you all the best.

These drone's views are spectacular - the very definition of "in the middle of nowhere"

Super remote spots like deserts are incredible for their beauty and solitude. It takes a lot of careful planning and common sense as well as skill and perseverance, but us viewers all know Noraly has plenty of these qualities - and more!!

When in Algeria with the military, I learned how deceptive the desert could be when driving across it ina vehicle. Mirages are common, vegetation is not. You did well, Noraly. A demanding journey that brought the vastness and emptiness of the desert to people’s homes. The chain guard issue seems to stay with your bike. Neither looked substantial enough to cope with the work the bike is doing. Stay safe.

Ganz großes Kino! Alles gute auf Deinem weiteren Weg. Du machst das toll.

Amazing ride, Noraly and so glad you made it safely through the danger zone. The shot of you sitting under the lonely little tree with Alaska beside you was a dream shot for an amateur photog like me, and would make a perfect magazine cover. That one picture speaks volumes. Thanks and congrats for this episode, and stay safe. Dan ✌️🏍🇨🇦

Not going to lie, I got chills seeing those drone shots of you sitting there eating and the vast emptiness of where you're at. Absolutely incredible. Stay safe!

You are truly inspirational and an exceptional bike rider😊! Thank you and stay safe.

Glad your ok Noraly and Glad to see your still bringing us your followers more videos for us to watch . I showed a friend your videos and he follows you too now.

Noraly, Alaska, and a tree. Just awesome.

This Top Secret is shared with joy: Noralee is an ArchAngel from the Upper Realm, benevolent Alien from Alpha Centauri region, and the prophesied perfect AI Person combined! ! In perfect awe from California, Godspeed Itchy Boots…

Through your journeys, we learn to overcome our fears and embrace the unknown. It's the daring spirit that allows you to make every journey magical. A tough and gruelling ride each time, but you always have a smile that makes the journey light! Thank you for surfing the wildest waves of Mother Earth and allowing us to be a part of your journey.

Wow!! What a terrific day!! So flat, barren, but beautiful! Drone shots were incredible!! Congratulations on an epic day we will always remember!!

This has reminded me never to take trees for granted again 🌴🌳🎋

Thank you Noraly for taking us with you over this vast and incredible Moroccan desert. To me, the real hero of this episode was that true and trusted friend, "Alaska" which, despite losing a chain guard, just kept on going when to do otherwise would have been disastrous!

This video is amazing. I've been watching your videos for 2 years and I'm such a fan of your skills and knowledge. You just keep getting better and better. Your drone images are iconic you sitting under one tree in the desert having a snack break is one of the best videos with the choice of music makes it incredible thank you so much.

One desert, one tree, one motorcycle and one hell of a women. And one pot of duo penotti 🙂 . Great footage as always. Keep riding and keep save.

Incredible scene with the drone. 1 solitary tree and you shading with Alaska. I always look forward to watching your video. Morocco looks amazing. Stay safe.
