[@danusbartosova]

There are many motorbike rider's and traveller's KZbin channels, but Itchy Boots is absolutly the best of all! And it is because of her so nice personality. She is such a humble, natural, open, respectful and friendly, big heart person and she thinks of others. She doesn't need to show off like many other KZbinrs. The way she is, together with her courage and independence, she shows us much more than the others. She shows us the real real world, with real people in the most remote parts of the world, I love her way how she's always respecting people, supporting locals by eating and sleeping there, and what she's giving, it's returning to her everywhere, she opens the door everywhere. This goes beyond her travel. She carries the strong message, that we all live on the same planet and we are the same. Only thanks to ideologies, unfortunatelly, those who desire overpower others are trying to make us belive that other people are worse than us and are enemies. Thank you, Noraly, keep it up, enjoy and stay safe !

The gas station guy, after you order gas, the first thing he asked, "yemek?" with gesture, means did you eat?. Our people (Kurds and Turks) are very hospitable and welcoming. I am proud of them. Also that street vendor in Irak Kurdistan didn't want mony for the lunch. She insist to pay.

[@TheKonstantinius]

I am genuinely interested - do you experience same level of hospitality among your people as well?

[@DieWilWheatonDie]

@@TheKonstantinius yup, it’s a normal thing over here. I’m Turkish and I have a childhood memory from when our family was driving to another city to attend a wedding and our car broke down in the morning while going through a random town, dad was trying to fix it and my mom asked a random lady passing by if there’s a cafe or a restaurant nearby cause me and my sister didn’t have breakfast yet and the car looked like it’s not gonna get fixed anytime soon. Instead of directing us to a restaurant the woman just invited our entire family to her house to have breakfast with her family, and we agreed. So we just had a brekfast in a complete stranger’s house with her family in a town we’ve never been to because she would not take no for an answer. These kinds of things are normal around here, communities are fairly tight knit and people are often very open and welcoming, even naive. Turks tell each other examples of western and northern Europeans not offering their guests food like these are horror stories, lol.

[@bahadrgumus8446]

@@TheKonstantinius yeah depending on the context but if you are hungry and dont afford it you can randomly enter a restarount and get food. You can get chai anywhere at anytime just ask :) you can get food or even a bed if you are in a bad condition everyone will help you

[@DragovianMythiX]

@@TheKonstantinius Yes, and abroad it's even better, because we are tighter to each other than in Turkiye. For example, we share our food with our fellow Turks and Kurds, we frequently visit each other's homes, we volunteer to accompany non-blood-related elders to the hospital etc. when we don't have money at hand for groceries we tell each other to put our names and money on a list to be paid later. When I see how the native population and some other non-Turkish communities are falling apart due to individualism, I am glad that we still have a tight-knit community, though individualism and materialism is taking a toll on our society/community as well.

[@nicholascowlan7743]

For me this is one of the best posts Noraly has done as it shows how positive and calm she stays after set backs damaging her nav tablet and the various checks at different kiosks at the border. How brave to go into Iraq on her own and still continue filming, chatting to locals, who obviously admire her. I have learnt a lot from this episode, keep them coming Noraly !

[@elizabethrimiru-m1]

Noraly is my happy place, seeing you on the road doing the impossible and making women look good☺makes me so happy... you have such amazing energy and I can't wait to see what this new l country holds, I'm already loving the people 😍, safari salama❣

I still can't believe what i ve seen so far about Iraq.....the whole picture painted came crushing down... My faith is with you Noraly...show us how Iraq is once and for all..

[@Palitato]

I've noticed that it's very apparent in all her videos that in general the regular people of a country tend to be very kind, welcoming, and happy to talk to people from other places and countries on the whole. It's just the extremist voices that are the loudest and take up the airwaves of media and government.

The People along this route are super nice people, Specially as you enter Iraq, theyre the nicest people and i cried of joy. Im so happy they thrived despite the wars in every other side of the border. If im only young... I would travel that side of the world. Thank you so much for taking us with you Noraly.

[@jeffjohnsonfutdoc]

As a military guy Noraly you show how important diplomacy and how kind words go such a long way. Like said below: Genuine Kindness matters and respect for others...that is what life is about. Thanks once again for the great season so far.

[@TrevorH-l6f]

How very exciting 🙌🙌 Welcome to Iraq!! 🇮🇶 Noraly, you are such a great example to us all on how to remain so calm and collected when you confront serious stuff like running over your tablet, border crossing, and riding blind. As always, melting hearts 💕 wherever you go. Rest well and stay safe 🙏 Bravo from North Borneo ❤

[@naskha8143]

Welcome, Norali in Iraq. I am very happy for you. You are a brave woman to do this and visit my country despite that. I am saddened because I am not there to provide you with excellent service and be at your reception. I wish you success and a pleasant journey in Iraq. You will find a lot of kindness, respect and hospitality in my country Iraq.

[@cp4512]

Nice to see so many friendly and helpful people. 😊

Already I have learned that Iraq is not a pile of rubble after so much conflict. It has normal infrastructure and friendly people. Your journeys through such countries really are educational and insightful, Noraly.

They say traveling is very educational. Noraly stands at the top of her class. And because she permits us to ride along with her we can see and learn so much. The majestic mountains, diverse architecture, unique culture, and friendly faces are drawing us higher and higher in our learning experience. Have a blessed day

[@jimiorezzoli]

While you go on adventures I can't personally make, you take me there with you. One important thing I see on these trips that I don't sense anywhere else is we are truly one species. Different languages, flags, clothes and cultures but inside just people. Universal people. Like pictures of Earth from space there are no lines, just the ones in our heads. Very enlightening, thank you so much!😘

Just showed my wife Iraq 😀😃. We are laughing at our ignorance. Growing up, there was a local song that talked of the end of the World starting from Iraq and Iran. The picture of Iraq in our minds has been totally different. Well, the place of the Garden of Eden must be as beautiful as what you have shown. Thank you for helping us travel the world virtually as you shatter our stereotypes along the way. Iraq just extrapolated the beauty of Turkey. This season will be the best.
