I remember the day my husband came into the kitchen while I was cooking lunch and asked me if I’d ever heard of a lady motorcyclist named Itchy Boots. He told me I absolutely had to see her videos. I finished lunch and went to you tube. From that time on it has been my most favorite pastime. That year at our family Christmas get together...our entire family got introduced to Itchy Boots as my husband turned on You Tube to your channel and hid the remote. Everyone was amazed. Today’s video, the conditions, and how you handle it all brings back memories of that young girl on her first trips through in-climate weather and conditions. My how you’ve grown..rider wise, video and camera work wise. You ROCK! Beautiful video today...thank you!

Hi Noraly, As a volcanologist and an avid drone pilot, I was blown away by your footage of you riding with Cotapaxi in the background. Cotapaxi is a textbook example of a stratovolcano. You should check out the magnificent painting of Cotapaxi by Frederic Church that was done in 1862. It’s a great example of the Hudson River style of painting that was popular in the United States during the late eighteen hundreds.

As a retired geologist I often consider myself blessed to have spent a career in a science that never ceased to amaze, inspire and at times, humble me. Ms. Schoenmaker, thank you for using your special talents as a geologist & videographer to present the views of our planet that will inspire not just the "fantasy" travelers who journey with you but likely the thousands who are considering geology for the first time as a study or serious hobby. Really great stuff.

I work in the airport control tower and every morning I start my work day admiring the beauty of this volcano, I even had the opportunity to see the eruption. It is really beautiful.

Wow, quite the dramatic emotional contact with COTOPAXI, got emotional. Majestic ruler of the valley, strong, tall, and commanding, king of the stratos.

Cotopaxi is the second highest summit in Ecuador, reaching a height of 5,897 m (19,347 ft). Cotopaxi is among the highest active volcanoes in the world. Amazing pictures and perfect music. Thanks for sharing!

Cotopaxi is so majestic.

Ecuador has such amazing sceneries, so beautiful!

Ecuador is God’s country, absolutely breathtaking the drone shots of the mighty Cotopaxi!!!

Hey Noraly, I'm from Ecuador and I've been watching season 6 since episode 1 and I have to say that I am absolutely in awe of your bravery, your Spanish, your kindness and your appreciation for my country. If you are ever back in Cotopaxi, (Or if there is someone reading this) there is a Hotel that you should definitely take a look at, it's called "Hacienda los Mortiños" it's actually those white houses you can see at 11:09, It is for sure one of the most beautiful places around, plus food is great, people are extremely nice and you can reach it with your motorcycle :)

That drone view of you and of Cotopaxi was the most amazing you've done, since you started using your drone. Superb, just brilliant Noraly. Take care and ride safe.

Sehr schön Tag für den Cotopaxi....Exelente saludos...💪👍👏🗺👋👋

I literally have goosebumps watching the footage of the mountain volcano. All of the drone footage is just INCREDIBLE!!!

Noraly - I just happened to watch your June 2019 episode from Armenia where you tried flying a drone for the first time with Tony. And now today's video (January 2022) with stunning Cotopaxi drone shots and perfectly selected music and editing.....WOW! You are an inspiration on many levels.

Majestätisch, wie der Vulkan in den Himmel ragt. Deine Aufnahmen von ihm mit der Drohne sind Spitze. 👍

I’m an immigrant from Quito, the Cotopaxi has always been a postcard from home. Thanks for filming those magnificent views that took me a little closer to home.

That sight of the Cotopaxi from far away. Breathtaking!

Another wonderful adventure. I am always an avid reader of the comments, you have created a great family around you and I love being part of it. There are nearly a million of us riding along with you and that is a testament to you, and the joy and involement you give to us. Thank you, as always you are an inspiration.

A beautiful early Ecuadorian morning, with just Noraly, Alaska, some critters, a volcano, and God, and 950,000 subscribers! :) Soon 1 million! Go Noraly!

7:55 That is one of the most spectacular views I've ever seen. I can only imagine what that must be like to see in person. Absolutely breathtaking.

When you make videos like these I get so emotional, for so many different reasons. A big reason is it makes me realize I'm not living life truly. You are the epitome of living life and enjoying life. I learn so much from you and these videos, even learn about myself thru the emotions that I experience watching these. Continue to inspire us Noraly! Safe travels and enjoy this world to the fullest! Thank you again for bringing us along with you everyday!

Hi Norlay, mere words are inadequate to adequately express my gratitude for the joy you bring through your creations. The segment from 7:53 ~ 10:40 contains some of the most beautiful and moving cinematography I've ever seen in my 71 years!

COTOPAXI looks like something from another world

9:00 Absolutely breathtaking!!!

Thank you Noraly. Amazing video with the backgroung music. You are the only vlogger that I don't skip the ads.

That breakfast looked so good!

Vamos eres una mujer increíblemente valiente y una inspiración para mi. Muchas gracias por todo, tus viajes para mí son mis viajes ya que por motivos es imposible que pueda viajar a corto plazo.

👍👍 Impactantes imágenes del Volcán. Thanks! Good job☘️🌹☘️🇪🇦

That Volcano was like something out of the Lord of the Rings, pretty amazing country Ecuador.

Noraly, This is spectacular! The most effective use of a drone ever. At 9:00, it is captured and framed. Fabulous scenery and human interaction throughout. Awaiting each new episode patiently. Thank you for telling the world about our fantastic world in this manner. For a shoe maker's daughter, you make your parents proud -- we are ll your parents. jim

Wow that drone shot of the volcano. Chills.

Breathtaking shots of mighty Cotopaxi!

Better than National Geographic! I especially like the drone images and the extended parts of riding footage. It is great to witness all this beauty through your camera! Stay safe, ride safe!

wuau, imponente ese volcán, Cotopaxi, amo Ecuador🇪🇨

You are spoiling us with such high class footage brilliant film making 👏

I wish I can have half of your energy and courage to go around the world and see all this beautiful places. You are a great inspiration for all of us.

the best for Ecuador is the short distances between very diferent places, the security and the people.

Your drone footage of you approaching the volcano is truly cinematic, especially with the musical accompaniment, you really are spoiling us! 😊👍….. I’ve enjoyed all your adventures but this trip seems to be getting better and better, thank you for taking us along with you 🙏

Cotopaxi is gorgeous. Reminds me of the time I’ve spent near Fuji.

Thank you for showing us Ecuador, absolutely beautiful and breathtaking... God bless you and all your hard work Noraly!! ♥️ Safe travels to you, mighty Dutch girl 👧 💪 🏍 You make watching KZfaq such a magnificent experience

Magnificent landscape, that volcano is so beautiful.

Beautiful scenery and very nice roads to ride! The countryside is just amazing. Excellent to find the correct size tires in a very nice bike shop. Thank you Noraly for continuing to take us along with you on your adventure! Ride safe!

Our home the world is so beautiful! Thank you very much Boots!

Thank you Noraly ... I've always enjoy your videos

As a fan of ed march I was aware of your adventures thanks to KZfaq recommendations. Your cinematography is excellent, especially the drone footage and the helmet camera. I've ridden bikes for over 30 years but couldn't imagine doing such amazing riding. Keep safe. Peace to you. 🙏

I must agree with some of the other commenters: the drone footage of your morning ride in front of Cotapaxi volcano was stunning. Keep making me dream until my next solo bike trip, hopefully will be as exciting as yours is.

Que hermoso ❤️ gracias por tan lindas tomas lo más hermoso de nuestro. Lindo país gracias por visitarnos por venir. Y mostrar la belleza de nuestro país millón de gracias Dios te bendiga y te cuide

That view of the volcano just left me speechless!

Good morning, afternoon and evening Internet. Hope everyone is good out there. Stay safe and healthy. Thank you Noraly for your videos🙏 we love you and we'll keep supporting you. 🙌

Fantastic! Thank you Noraly! Always brilliant

Noraly your music selections seem to fit the scenery so well

Thank you very much Noraly for showing the beauties that my country Ecuador has, seeing through the drone the majesty of the Cotopaxi volcano provokes infinite emotions. always travel safely and take care of yourself

I'm starting to think that they call it a rainforest because it rains a lot there. Beautiful scenery. Thank you for sharing it.

Am I the only one who watches the same episodes multiple times cause everything is so beautifully captured that it feels that its you who is actually riding and experiencing everything.

I grew up in that country, I rode those roads with my friends on our Honda XR 600 Enduros, and let me tell you: that volcano is one elusive diva who loves hiding behind the clouds. You were really lucky to capture the mountain in all its glory, with that beautiful weather. Thanks for sharing.

The drone footage of the scenery and landscape in this episode is so stunning that it does not even look real. Simply stunning!

This vlog was a masterpiece without any doubt! Thank you for showing it to us

Me encantó el video y los paisajes, Ecuador es un país muy hermoso cuidate Dios te bendiga 🙏

The volcano and a drone shots looks surreal 😮

I still love those Hima. Those were the times that real adventures of riding. Classic, rugged bike adventure bike.

Wow, Cotopaxi looks unreal and incredibly beautiful! Excellent drone shots and content, as always. Thanks Itchy. 👍😎👍

What an emotional adventure and reminder for me. I recall a day very similar to that, packed inside a tiny jeep with seven others and climbing until a blizzard blew in and chased us off the mountain. Don't we all absolutely love Noraly for what she does. Stay safe girl!

I loved these amazing shots of Cotopaxi. Having summited it a few years back, this mountain and Ecuador have since had a special place in my heart.

The drone footage of Cotapaxi is breathtaking.

wow, what an adventure. especially that shots around 10:00 look so unreal with the volcano in the back covered in snow. i think that would be one of those rides where i would get a little bit emotional 🙃

Thank you Noraly for the beautiful images of Ecuador and his volcano, I truly hope more " compatriotas " (citizens of Ecuador) are seeing this magnificent travel documentary you are sharing with us and comment on it. Safe travel and ride.

The last half of this video was absolutely delightful. The footage, the editing, the music, and the natural beauty. I'm so grateful that you share the world with us.

Howdy IB! Simply stunning! Ecuador es magnifico! Love this country! Saddle up!

Thank you for sharing more of your meals and your conversations with the locals. Love learning about these cultures. Also love that we can see the GPS. K60s are great tires. You will get 16,000 kmd out of them. Ride safe!

I had K60's on my Florida to Alaska trip. Great tires and yes they have a long trend life. Enjoy!!

I saw the Mayan gods looking down below from the top of the volcano. What a view, it surely took my breath out of me.

Just simply wow

09:03 looks just like Mount Fuji 😁 I’m watching your entire journey through South America and honestly, you’ve lived my dream but now I get to see it through your lens- thank you 🙏🏻

Those lanscapes are so mesmerising. Now I want to visit South America! You converted me! And I already have Heidenau K60 on my bike. 😁

Ecuador is absolutely amazing

One woman and all the world ... Extremely fascinating .. Brave, is a smaller word for you, Norali!

Those Drone shots are fantastic!

Thank you so much for this beautiful episode Noraly. The drone shots especially were stunning!! I do believe that in the 2 or 3 years that I have been following your travels, you have saved me several hundred thousand dollars in travel money. You really are a special lady.

Thanks for the beauty you share with us!

Equator has so much beauty to it I’ll be hard to leave.

Hermoso Ecuador 💕

Today I had it hard to keep my eyes open, am terribly tired for some weird reason, and all the crappy weather there made me think "Poor Noraly, oh poor Noraly!!1", clinging to my coffee… And then day two started and knocked my socks straight off! 😳 What insanely beautiful landscape shots! I'm awake now! 🥳🤗 Thanks for that! …and I really like the walking mode the two at 4:42 show! 😁

one of my favorite places in my beautiful Ecuador Cotopaxi!!! Every time that I go back home I have to go to Cotopaxi!! I just love it!! Thank you soooo much for this beautiful video😍😍

I love putting new shoes on my girl. Anyone who spends as much time on a bike as I do, (and you, of course) can immediately feel the difference and quality of the ride with new rubber. Love your videos. They are a nightly part of my routine as I wind down from the day. Relaxing, and immensely entertaining and informative.

Ecuador certainly has a variety of beautiful scenery. They seem to have everything. Great drone work yet again.

All good to go with a new fresh set of tyres. Alaska should feel the difference, oops, and Itchy Boots.

The best. The very best. I am just overwhelmed with the beauty of this volcano. I live at the base of a Volcano in Glacier, WA, USA, Mt Baker, elevation 10,780 ft. It too is active, second most active in the Cascade mountain range. The last eruption as I recall, was some 4,000 years ago. This volcano is about 15 miles from the Canadian border. You can drive to within 1,000 ft. of the top of Mt Baker. There is a very popular ski area at the end of the paved road. Last summer we had the highest summer tempretures ever recorded in the area, there were 3 consectuive days (105°, 107°, and 112°) in Glacier, WA. Much of the deep snow pack and the glacier melted. Then the area recorded flooding not seen in over 500 years. It was unprecedented.

Wow Wow it is the first time I can see this painting, Cotapaxi by Frederic Church that was done in 1862. It is incredible the one with the eruption. Well it says that if Cotopaxi Volcano erups will destroy not only a part of Ecuador but also will affect the whole world. It si so big. We grew up with that worry. I live in Quito just beside de Guagua Volcano that erupt in 1999. All the city of Quito was covered of ash. I cuoud see from my balcony the explosion one morning. That day was a totally clear day with blue skies. So imagen how we see the explosion. In several hours the city will coverd of ashes. Almost from the roof of my house and streets we fill several quintals of ashes. Thanks good the volcano stops. Whit this experience, Imagine the fear we had when in august of 2015 the Cotopaxi began to erupt. Many parts of Quito, Cumbaya and other places just abandon their homes. Thanks God nothing happend, just many days we could see and photographied a column of smoke from the Cotopaxi. We live in a city surrounded by the most powerful active volcanoes of the world and it is incredible how you get used to everything in life. Now the volcanoes are monitored all the time and I hope we can get out in time if one of them erupts. So in my life I watch three volcanos erupt Gauagua, TUngurahua near Ambato (where at that time I was working there) and the Cotopaxi. Now I think of thtat is incredible. I got such a nice pictures of them. I can remember that the vulcanologist in charge of monitoring the volcanoes lived next to my house. So we decided if he runs from his home we will do the same ha ha.

This is an absolutely beautiful video, Noraly. Your bravery and video skills are the best on the internet. Safe travels to you, always!

I just got my 300L Rally two days ago. I'm 5'10" and have to pole vault on to the seat. Just to let you know that your free spirit, positive attitude, courage, cinematography, directing, editing and all the giggling through mud and rock has inspired me very much. Great Job on this video and I am so impressed with the effort and product.

I've climbed the Cotopaxi and rode on car and bicycle all those roads. But now I'm an Ecuadorian that's been far from home for several years and this video made me tear up quite a bit, thank you so much for that amazing footage it warmed up my heart. I've been following your journeys since the Himalayan trip, and now that you're in my beautiful Ecuador makes me so happy. Although I'm not there I welcome you and go back any time thank you for showing my home to the world

Oh my, words can not express the emotion and feelings this work of yours elicits. Maybe a famous poet or writer could put it in to words this wonderful & Inspiring episode 17. I do not know what is more powerful, the view or your choice of music. Were I to die and fly along the ground as an angel, I suspect that would be close. A deep heartfelt thanks for lifting my spirits with you amazing skill and bravery! By the comments below mine, I am sure many feel the same way! I have watched many YT vids about folks traveling on two wheels. I think yours is by far the best! Your work needs to be put together in a compilation ( of sorts) , a treasure as it were,.... for your fellow man to enjoy and experience the planet in a most sublime and incredible way. For many the only chance to see what an incredible planet this is. May the wind always be at your back, May the sun shine upon you, May mother nature continue to protect and provide you with safe and industrious passage!

It doesn't always receive the credit due but the GoPro is such a capable camera. When filmed, uploaded, streamed and viewed in 4K, the results can be just stunning.

I often think Ms Noraly has done a perfect vid again, then on a new one, she takes her "art" up to a higher level with something like this one on 7 Jan!

Hi everyone! Hi Noraliiiiiii! Cumpliendo el sueño que te conté! En las sierras de Tandil en moto con mí pareja , mí primo y su señora. Un Finde Hermoso! Hermoso video, me encantó! Have a nice day! Kind regards, Mary Rainero

The drone shots with Cotopaxi in the background, combined with that ethereal music, were so awe inspiring they made my hair stand up! Welcome to Middle Earth....

Watching you doing all of this Noraly makes me even more excited to get my license, so I could just start riding(btw I like riding on asphalt), it's that you are such an inspiration for so many people around the globe, and I hope you have the best journey and the best time of your life.

The fruit name is dragon fruit in my country , there is another type of colour with red.

The yellow fruit is what we call "dragon fruit"...It's the fruit of a cactus...The ones planted at our fence have red fruits while the one you are holding is the yellow variety...... I love the video - beautiful volcano, snow covered near its crater... a very serene view... thank you!!

I know you have to go through all deficulty without even showing us, you showed us only the good and happy moments, live your life to the fullest I enjoyed all your videos, bless by what you do
