Dear Mr and Mrs Schoenmaker, if you are reading this, thank you for having Noraly. You could not have picked a more appropriate name for her. I wonder at what point in her life you knew she was destined for greatness and would be loved by hundreds of thousands and millions of people around the world. She is bringing so much entertainment, joy, and education to us. I can only imagine how proud you must be as I type this with tears in my eyes watching her drone shots of Guinea Bassau with music. And of course, Thank you Noraly. Peace ❤❤❤

As a Bissau-Guinean, I am very happy to see you crossing into Bissau and showing the world what our country is like, despite the difficulties we are holding on. Thank you so much.

As a native Portuguese speaker (Brazil), I was marvelled to see how fluent and clear your Portuguese still is. Congrats on both your channel and amazing trip. 🙌🏍🍀

Portuguese is very hard when you’re not a native Romance language speaker, but for you it was just a walk in the park. You even sang a song! Perfect!

Breaking into the Portuguese song - made me smile so big. Woah - the electrical situation there - I had no idea. My goodness, I'm learning so much, while seeing places I would never see, otherwise. I have co-workers from several of these countries, so it's very special for me to get at least a glimpse of their home place!

New country new adventures full of people and wonderful landscapes, thank you for continuing to discover how beautiful Africa is

Saudações de São Paulo aos irmãos de língua portuguesa da Guiné-Bissau ! Noraly, adorei ouvir Maculelé !!!

🇬🇼🇬🇼🇬🇼 Guiné Bissau, mesmo com tamanhos problemas ainda fazes-me sentir um frio na barriga quando te vejo virtualmente. Obrigada por passar pelo meu país ❤🙏🏿

Good morning Noraly, from Toronto. Your explanation of how Bissau gets its electricity is fascinating and something I’ve never heard of. As always, your videos are a wealth of information and a pleasure to watch. Cheers and safe riding, Dan ❤️✌️🇨🇦

How Noraly is able to synchronize the exact music required to maximally enhance the video then showing discloses to me a seriously enviable musical ability!

On top of everything I'm amazed how you're able to manage that many cameras simultaniously and later blend all the footage in a seamless content! Can't even edit a single video at home myself and you do it while being on the road! 👍

Caramba!! Você sabe falar português. 👏👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

She's the definition of freedom, also she's becoming my favourite history teacher now, aside from teaching, she is showing it to us.

I learned Portuguese working in a Brazilian bar for 3 years. Great video as always Noraly. Thank you. 😊

O Português dos guineenses é muito bonito. Viva Guiné-Bissau e os guineenses!

Parabéns Noraly, seu Português está 100% compreensível 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇧🇷

Impressionante como você se vira bem com vários idiomas. Parabéns Noraly!

Rough terrain, strangers and another language yet you overcome all this with a smile! African countries are so diverse and interesting. The drone shots show some of the true beauty of this country. Thanks Noraly!

🌍🇧🇷🗣 "It's great to see you putting in the effort to learn Portuguese for a future expedition to Brazil! Language skills can open up new doors and enhance cultural experiences. Brazil has so much to offer, and being able to communicate with locals will undoubtedly enrich your journey. Best of luck with your language learning, and I'm excited to hear about your adventures in Brazil in the future!"

Noraly shows what a fearless, purely curious human can achieve by simply treating everyone the same & respecting everyone she meets, whatever their circumstances, with no judgement. Would that we all did the same. You go girl 💪

Love it when you take some time to talk and teach about local things, history and such!!!

Another day, another successful border crossing! Noraly's Rusty Portuguese turns out to be not so rusty after all, as she flawlessly communicates with the locals in Guinea-Bissau. And the drone shots are absolutely breathtaking! Also her insights into its culture and people are so enlightening. 🤓😁

Having a ship to supply electricity for a whole country, amazing right? I would never have thought of that. What an interesting place and history. Thanks Noraly.

Your footage, your editing skills, your optimism and positivity are all remarkable! Oh yes, your courage and kindness are exceptional as well. You truly are a treasure! Stay safe and keep on doing what you do! Thanks much!

Greetings from Portugal 🇵🇹, have a safe road trip trough Guiné-Bissau and enjoy. 😊

Just love when you use the drone. What lush jungles! Thanks for information about electricity. These are things we learn when we actually visit a place. I'm of Dutch heritage located now in the steamy jungle of Mexico. Heat during the day is intense! Thank you for taking us on your adventures!

You are a wonderful ambassador, thank you for showing the world thru loving eyes, bridging culture gaps and so much more.

Why did I even question myself if she'd be able to speak Portuguese after she's proved to speak every language she gets in contact with... Noraly, você é maravilhosa!!!!!!!! viva você!

Noraly is always very well prepared for Border Crossings .

I'm really impressed how clean Senegal is, looks really nice and green aswell.

Que coincidência. Eu estava curioso pra saber se você falava português. Até perguntei no vídeo anterior. Que bonito você falando e cantando em português. Adorei!!! Saudações do Brasil e espero ver você por aqui também.

Most enjoyable episode Noraly. Enjoyed your singing in a foreign language. The drone footages were awesome, especially when you were riding on that long and amazing bridge.Thank you for bringing joy to us. The educational information is priceless. You are opening our minds to different livelihoods Thank you.

As always an interesting perspective on how lives are lived in countries that exist in such a different way than I am used to. I’m never surprised at your bravery and resourcefulness any longer, Noraly. You are such an amazing world traveller being able to navigate your way through all these strange countries, taking it all in stride in a manner that must seem to be almost ‘matter of fact’ to you. You must have the most varied diet imaginable !…❤❤❤Rick

The Dutch Slave Coast (Dutch: Slavenkust) refers to all those factories owned by the Dutch West India Company on the so-called Slave Coast, which is located on the coasts of present-day Ghana, Benin, Togo and Nigeria. The primary purpose of this series of trading posts was to supply slaves for plantations in the colonies in America. The presence of the Dutch on the Slave Coast began with the establishment of a factory in Offra in 1660. But later, the epicenter of the slave trade moved to Ouidah, where the English and French had also established other factories.

Noraly, muito fofo seu sotaque em Português, fique tranquila que ainda fala bem :) Abraços do BR

Olá, aqui da ilha da Madeira - Portugal . No continente africano muitos países lusófonos. Viva a língua portuguesa. Viva Guine Bissau, Viva Portugal!

It was a very proud and pleasant moment to hear Noraly speak Portuguese (being Portuguese myself). Thank you for your lovely videos.

Noraly can start her own "world culture course" in any top notch university.

Watching from Portugal. First time I get to see what Bissau looks like. Beautiful country, I wish the best to its people. Thank you for the amazing video.

Shivering with excitement before each episode! Thank you Noraly.

Those drone overview are awesome, i didn't know this part of Africa, you always see things about the Sahara desert if they film the northern part, but that west-coast is so stunning...🧡🧡🧡🧡

12:50 Drone video of the water crossing is magnificent!

Sou brasileiro. Que tenha uma ótima viagem pela África!

Guiné-Bissau minha terra 😍 sweet mother land 💕 Saudades

Having worked on ships in the past I understand that we used a lot of power, especially in port when the cargo discharge pumps were running. But for a whole country, that a lot, the power ship must be specially built, HFO or Heavy Fuel Oil is horrible stuff, has to be purified heated and filtered a lot before the engines can burn it, we had quite extensive exhaust gas recovery systems to remove pollutants. Interesting video, fascinating your voyage of discovery how these countries operate, corruption is a way of life and the ordinary man in the street has to fight to survive.

Itchy,by the time you finish your adventures you will be multi linguistics, super awesome love you always ❤❤❤😊

Gosh Noraly, what an interesting explanation you give here about the power supply and what pollution it must produce. I am stunned. Now we in the Netherlands, a postage stamp on this globe, worry about CO2, nitrogen and pollution in general, while it should be easier and cheaper to find an environmentally friendly solution for these kinds of things. In 2010 I was also in The Gambia and saw a garbage incineration the size of a football field with 1 meter high mush of smoldering rubbish in the open air. There is so much to improve on a global level in the environmental field, easier than what we in the Netherlands worry about. You have now seen enough with your travels to be able to give beautiful presentations about it. The world leaders need to be emphatically pressed to the facts. Keep up the good work you are doing now by letting us know all about these situations. Regards, Ton

I do appreciate this video by showing my country to The world, Guinea Bissau God bless you by your amazing work.

The best 25 minutes of the day. Interesting story of the Power Ship. Thank you Noraly .😊

Hi Noraly, thanks again for a well informed episode, your drone footage is out of this world. No matter where you go you are always helped and the language barrier is never a problem for you, you are such an inspiration to us and your parents must be very proud of you. Millions of people watch you every week and if i can speak for all there is only one word for you Magnificent. Be safe out there and God Bless. Stay as humble and good as you are. Cape Town loves you. 🇿🇦💯🏍🙏🙏

Noraly, you’re such a beacon in the beauty, and the human connection though out the world. The light you bring always shines a light on the struggles that different countries have to face. I am imagining you are seeing so much economic, climate, challenges and social economics struggles. I repeat, you are a great ambassador to the world to see, and model, your love of life, passion, and respect that you give is always admirable. Thanks for another adventure

Que bonitinho te ver falando Português. Eu te conheci quando estava pesquisando sobre a CRF300 e vi o seu vídeo de apresentação e preparação para a viajem à América do Sul, desde então já assisti todas as outras temporadas e tem sido muito bom te acompanhar e te conhecer. Sempre que você fala um pouquinho do Brasil é um prazer. Uma pena que você não passou por aqui durante uma das temporadas. Estamos te esperando.

You never ceases to amaze me. I knew you had been in Brazil for a while. But i would never guessed it was for so Long ( 9 months!). For that reason i was waiting with lots of curiosity, your passage through a Portuguese speaking country, to appreciate your skills in that matter. And u done it quite good. It was so cute see u chantting a song from my country, Brazil. For those who are curious about it , i will share the name of the song. You can found out here in YT. Boa Noite ( Maculele )

WOW!! The drone! Noraly you are the boss with the drone! I loved the scene where you are crossing the bridge! Brilliant! Looks like crossing all these borders is keeping you on your toes with the language skills! Of course we all know how easily you can pick it up! Hey you can even sing in Portuguese! Loved this video….the history, the walk through town and local cuisine! Loving the relaxed vibe since you went to 2 videos a week! Enjoy your journey!! I know we are!! Hugs and cheers from Texas USA!❤❤

Amei conhecer um pouquinho de Guiné-Bissau! É triste ver a situação de pobreza em que se encontra o país. Seria muito bom ver o Brasil fortalecer os vínculos e retomar os projetos de cooperação com esse país-irmão cheio de potencial!❤

I really appreciate you taking the time to educate us about the history of these countries. I find it incredibly sad to learn about the story of slavery in this part of Africa, and also to learn about the situation with electricity there. Just unfathomable that an entire country has to rely on a foreign ship to generate it's electricity, and that the situation is cause by corruption locally. Hopefully one day soon there will be a government dedicated to stamping out corruption and improving the quality of its citizens. Once again, thank you for taking us on this epic, facinating, enjoyable, educational journey. Keep safe and bon voyage!

Thanks for taking the time for the drone footage, appreciate it. The "tourism parts" are as important as the bike riding. But most importantly, your outstanding ability to connect with anyone, showing us the real world. I'm still stunned, after all these years :-)

Essa musica boa noite pra quem é de boa noite, é tocada nas rodas de capoeira aqui no Brasil, muito bom 🇧🇷

As a Bissau-Guinean, I deeply appreciate this video. 🎉🎉 First, your super positive, nice and open minded attitude. Second, your courage. It's inspiring! Third, you hot all the facts right about the country. I hope you had an amazing time. Our people are poor but very welcoming. ❤ Thank you so much for sharing this adventure.

Fiquei muito feliz em saber que você esteve no Brasil à alguns anos. ❤❤🙏🙏

Noraly is worried about her Rusty Portuguese language skills and ive not even heard of the Country shes about to enter! What different lives we lead 😂

EVERY episode delivers! Spectacular scenery, people, interactions, etc..The videography, editing, music, riding, adventure, on and on. Just amazing all of this is produced by Noraly.

Hello World Traveler Noraly. Very fine choice of places to visit and excellent videography. The drone gives a unique perspective, allowing the viewer a very comprehensive understanding of the area you are traveling through. I wonder; after this many years traveling why these counties don't know who you are when you ask for passage. Your reputation is impeccable and the tourist industry would benefit greatly by your easy ingress and egress so you could spend more time exposing the richness of each area you visit instead of bouncing from place to place working out the details like it's never been done befor. Thank you for remaining so pleasant while these places make you jump through all those hoops. Take care and we'll be waiting to see you in your next video! ben/ michigan

Muito bom o português da Noraly. Guiné-Bissau, país irmão de língua portuguesa.

Noraly!!! What a surprise.... Voce fala Portugues muito bem!!! Amazing video.... "como sempre"

Good Morning Noraly! Thank you for another amazing episode. It is so interesting to learn some of the history of the country/areas that you visit. You would make a fantastic teacher!🤔👍 Always Best Wishes and Safe Travels! 💖😍🏍🤠

É maravilhoso viajar e conhecer outras culturas e costumes.

É engraçado quando você vê um vídeo de um país tão distante quanto Guiné-Bissau e o atendente fala "bom dia" e aquilo te soa tão familiar.

Nora ly, you continue to amaze with how adept you are in weaving through crowds and traffic on your cycle.

We are loving Africa so far, beautiful country, beautiful people...thank you Noraly for this amazing experience, this has been such an inspiring journey❤

thanks for the information, images and cultures, Brazil has its doors open,..encantado ☕🌹

Um grande abraço de nos Brasileiros o seu português é lindo e você mais ainda.

NORALY. OLÁ MUITO BOM VER VOCÊ FALAR PORTUGUÊS. SOU DO BRASIL. SUCESSO AÍ! !!

Your drone footage was spectacular.....such a different landscape than in your earlier episodes. I admire your tenacity and great sense of adventure Noraly .....you never seem fazed by difficult situations !!!!

Gostei de saber que vc morou no Brasil e falava português. Fala muito bem. Põe mais músicas brasileiras aí ... Adoro seu canal.

Congrats for all the travels and beautiful places you visited... So you gained my subscription when you sing Boa noite pra quem é de boa noite.... your portuguese is very good!! I'm planing a moto trip with my wife to Paraguay, Bolivia, Chile and Argentina... and your chanel is helping me to boost even more my excitement for moto trip... Thanks!

I am a beginner, I 've been riding for 4 weeks now. I am slowly getting used to it. I named my bike "Noraly". Thank you for taking us with you.

I always enjoy the local history lessons. Thanks, Noraly!

Obrigado por visitar o meu país, Guiné-Bissau.

When I started to subscribe to Itchy Boots a few months ago there were 1.62M subscribers. Now there are 1.69M, before long I’m sure 2M will be on the cards, and deservedly so.

Incrível perceber que a arquitetura de Guiné-Bisau é parecida com algumas cidades do interior do Brasil. Adorei ouvir vc falar português Noraly! Saudações do Brasil!

It's really lovely the way you navigate through borders, countries and situations with your friendly personality and beautiful smile Noraly.😄 The drone shots are great!! Lots of love from Gene in Tennessee.

Amo seu vídeos sou d guine Bissau

Noraly você é uma mulher corajosa e destemida viajar com uma moto sozinha em países diferentes enfrentando perigos pra mostrar essas aventuras parabéns Deus lhe guarde e proteja👏👏🇧🇷

Thank you Noraly, for another brilliant video, stretching history from dark colonization to contemporary corrupt infrastructure, with beautiful skyviews of natures in spectacular drone shots. You're a dream for many who see you on YT, or by simply rolling up to a fuel pump. 🙂👍👍🙏

Muito bem! É bom treinar o Português para uma futura expedição ao Brasil!!

Thank you Itchy Boots for showing respect to local people, for providing good information about the country (history and economy) and for uploarding a superb video. I am so glad to hear that you have already a Portuguese language background. I am from Burundi in East Africa and usually I watch videos of East African countries, it is interesting to see how the market scene looks like East Africa.

What an interesting and very informative episode about Guinea-Bissau. Believe it or not, I had learned a lot of things from you Noraly. Things that are normally out of scope from my field of interests. I consider myself lucky to have learned it this way, through you and your adventures, because I can retain them in my mind, rather than reading it somewhere. Slave trading of "black" before is very inhumane. They were looked down and treated low because of their color and poor life status. Had seen several docu movies too about it and always brought tears to my eyes. Heart-breaking to see families torn apart being sold to slavery. Anyway, I always love it every time you welcome us into another country. I am always anticipating for it, and say it out loud with you regardless of where or what time I am watching. Again, thank you heaps for sharing another adventure, See you again on Sunday episode. Take care Noraly

Noraly, excelente que está a treinar o seu português, disponho-me a ajudar no caso de precisar de algo! Obrigado pelo conteúdo! Best regards and much love from Portugal! 🇵🇹

It’s ok for you to complain about the heat. I’m a born and raised Texan and you handle the heat better than I do 🥵😅 How interesting that Guinea Bissau is powered by a ship. My dad worked in the power industry for over 45 years, so I’m sure that will be the topic of our next “Itchy Boots” conversation 😊 Great episode, Noraly!

Excelente seu português! E cantou uma música que gosto muito. Já pode voltar ao Brasil para explorar os maravilhosos lugares que existem aqui. Você será sempre Bem Vinda😊

You are an exemple of how People should and could live together no mather the culture or différence, learning and sharing with each other...merci de nous faire partager tes voyages, de nous montrer la vie ailleurs sur notre belle terre! Belle continuation ❤

Thank you for the history and all of the richness you bring as you share your journey with us all.

Noraly is a smart educated woman the can go wherever she chooses. Everytime I mention her and what she does to my friends, they think she's dumb to venture on her own. I pray for her safe travels and good health to continue.

This episode is very informative & new things to me that never heard ship producing electricity for entire town at the same there is a great news too that they have new projects of Dam. Drone shots & Song or Prayer ( A blessing…my father…a blessing) was cherry on the top of the cakes…❤ Messi..

Abracos do Brasil, o português é um idioma lindo ❤🇧🇷😁

Hey itchy boots, I love your journey. You are truly incredible. Excited to see what comes next.

How nice to have had some easy easy border crossings. Looks like a peek into what rainy season will cover in the drone footage. Beautiful country! Hard to fathom, that a ship can supply electricity for an entire country. I hope the corruption does not interrupt the hydroelectric plans. Noraly should do a compilation of helmet singing as she has ridden through all the seasons!

A few years ago you went to the northern part of Sweden where you also got to go by helicopter to see a bit of the mountains and now I'm there about to start my hike up the mountain.

South Africa is going down that same road regarding electricity corruption corruption. Thankyou for your beautiful videos may God bless you be safe on your travels ❤
