I got STRANDED in the jungle of Central African Republic🇨🇫[S7-E76]

In this episode, I wake up in a small village in the Central African Republic, where I asked to spend the night, because night fell in the jungle and I had nowhere to go. The villagers and their chief immediately took me in, and insisted I park my motorcycle inside the house as well. The people in this part of the Central African Republic are some of the best people I've ever met - and I will never forget their hospitality!

It's incredible how good people all over the world can be. This should be on the news instead of all the bad stuff we hear about all the time.

[@user-us1hx2cx3j]

It's funny how people with so little can be so generous and (seemingly) happy, yet rich folks here in the west can be so suspicious of strangers (i.e. what does that stranger really want from me??) and unhappy because they always (seemingly) want more. Yes, quite the lesson!

"You are safe with us." --That's what the man in the village told Noraly. That's a clear sign of an advanced civilization. Such empathy does not come from religion, education, or wealth.

If you attribute the good to humanity then you must also do the same to the bad. Unfortunately the bad greatly outweighs the good. We have the potential for both good and bad but we choose the bad because humanity at its core is lost, selfish and corrupt. Myself included

[@vp4744]

@@jusplay7309 I watched the video to the end and did not see any bad at all. You're projecting your corruption on everyone else, aren't you?

[@jusplay7309]

@@vp4744 I didn’t say there was anything bad in the video. You watched the video and extrapolated an idea to the general human experience that such empathy is not religion but from humanity and lived experience. I countered and said that if you think that humanity is the source for empathy then you have to apply the same to the evil in the world. You removed religion as the foundation of their empathy and kindness and replaced it with humanity so ok in that case humanity is the cause of both good and evil then. If you doubt that there is evil in general then you must either be willfully ignorant or sheltered and naive. If you’re the later then I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news but the world is filled with much evil.

[@williecourthers9450]

What Noraly is showing through her Africa episodes is that the western media 's portrayal of Africa and its people are all wrong. The general population is kind and treat foreigners with respect. Sure there are street gangs and rebels running around but they are not the majority. It also show where people have very little material worth but they have good spirits.

You might not know this, but you have just created inspiration to all those kids. Some memory they will always remember and make a history tell. That will start like this: When I was young came around a white woman driving a motorcycle, that was as huge as an elephant and full packed with lots of bags.

As an African the treatment you got is nothing strange as we are usually a very kind and welcoming people. This was the vulnerability the colonizers exploited. However, I am thankful to you for showing the world True African Spirit as opposed to what the western mass media wants people to belief. Appreciated.

[@toodie6980]

Exceptionally magnificent people! So happy we all get to see the beauty in such a vast country, truly outstanding!

[@beaujac311]

I wouldn't say what the western mass media wants people to believe. I'm an African American and the western media here rarely covers Africa. The media so rarely covers Africa that some of my long held beliefs about Africa are being destroyed during Noraly's travels. Like most people world wide I thought that Africa was just a hot place year round. Most of us automatically believed that wild animals are roaming everywhere. I can't blame the media for that ignorance because I could have found other sources before now to be enlightened. That's why I stay on KZbin looking at videos of Africa to rid myself of that ignorance.

[@johnminer007]

@ibrahimsalami4014, dear sir, don't worry, many Europeans don't trust the western mass media. Everyone here is convinced that Africans are, for the majority, absolutely nice and generous people. ;-)

What struck me is how we enjoy watching the adventures and how we will not forget them, but everyone who meets Noraly, feels like this. The children of the village which took Noraly in for her safety (the chief said: "you will be safe here") and fed her and kept her safe, will eventually have children of their own and tell them stories about the time a white woman, who was riding her motorbike all by herself, came to stay overnight. How she smiled and laughed. How pale her hair was and how blue her eyes were, and with a wave and a smile, she rode away. The men with their canoes, will remember the lone white woman with the lovely smile, crossed the river in their boat one day. It had never happened before and has never happened since. So as much as we will remember Noraly's adventures, all those she meets will remember Noraly.

It is absolutely outstanding, and I genuinely hope it receives the recognition you deserve, possibly winning awards.

[@burenvanpaul]

Noraly thank you for showing the incredible diversity in this world. Showing us that you shouldn’t fear or hate people simply because they don’t share your same skin color.🍀🌍

[@adelefrank9617]

Exactly 😊

[@flashlight-media-original]

Or same point of view. It is better to try to understand others.

[@-Michelin]

Bam! Skin color, out of nowhere 😂 Bro, why’d u have to fear or hate black ppl? This ain’t colonial times no more

[@checko_o7524]

You do know they sell Caucasian body parts as medicine in some villages right? Look it up...@@-Michelin

[@geerenmo]

There's something wrong with you if you fear people because they have a specific skin colour. It's not that you're meeting up with aliens or something. We're all human beings just trying to be happy and healthy.

[@vasanthasrikantha6512]

what a brave woman you are Taking the rare opportunity to enjoy life. Amazed at least one part of the world is left without being disturbed, covered in green no tarmac roads or electricity. See how those villages living with nature sleep when the sun goes down and wake up when the sun comes up. Thanks for sharing and safe journey

[@loveboxinglucky1716]

Thats amazing

[@jeffevans7449]

The morning scene from the village denotes such beauty and joy. You have captured and provided us with such magic. Safe travels magic rider!

[@777interesting]

Only one motorcyclist anywhere gets treated like this and always with a huge smile, Noraly is a true world ambassador with what she does ,....... what friendly people she encounters, it takes a special human to just keep going through all of this .... well done Noraly .... cheers from Australia ....

[@jeeper5264]

I LOVE the first few minutes of this video..the people in the village were just so curious and respectful..Noraly you are a great ambassador!!

[@ericcox6764]

I watched that part with a giant lump in my throat and tears in my eyes! Those precious children will be talking about how that lady came to their village and spent time with them, and showed them her motorcycle for the rest of their lives. Things that seem so insignificant to us, are the biggest thing in the world to others. This episode really put a lot of things into perspective for me.

[@jfc213]

so right

[@JEmmertz]

Kindness, genuine curiosity, a smile and a giggle opens doors and hearts. You show us that just about every time, Noraly. What you give them with your presence reflects back in how they treat you.

[@bilaltajik]

The drone shot from the lodge of was out of this world. Really, really wonderful Job there, Noraly. Well done once again

[@cjctucson7683]

Wow, that was the easiest and most efficient river crossing on this journey and maybe easier than any of the previous seasons. Love how the first guy steadied Alaska standing on the edges of the boat wearing SANDALS! Your interaction with the locals in their names and customs gets returned to you in many ways with their help.

[@ericcox6764]

Ha!! Yeah, I was sitting here freaking out when I see another one of those overgrown canoes going by in the background with a motorcycle and at least 4 people in it. I literally laughed out loud as I thought this is a common thing for those folks. They probably do that dozens of times a day! Then I thought back to her, crossing the Darain Gap in a similar type of boat, except she was in the ocean!

[@reginald2004]

The guys sitting on the bikes make it possible. They are able to respond and keep everything balanced. Still, it looked pretty scary to start.

[@mattcalvert4529]

Noraly I have loved every video from this season! However, this one was particularly special….when the villagers came out to greet you and said, ‘you are safe with us’ it made my heart happy. Everywhere there are good people, the smaller the place, the better they are….of course the way you treat everyone is so exceptional. You are a beacon of light everywhere you go…thank-you for taking me on this adventure with you, it’s just…astounding!

[@JGKohlenberg]

I agree with many of your commentors that these African episodes are the best. More interesting and informative than I’ve seen anywhere. Ride on ✌️

[@wrayjordan7188]

Another amazing adventure day. What lovely people you meet. Thanks for sharing your travels.

[@Minina-Nena-Celina]

There's no reason to miss an episode in this season. All are awesome 😎,they are so challenging but thank God, Noraly are able to handle them pretty well..

[@ladislavsurovcik3129]

I didn´t miss a single episod, since Noraly started her youtube channel. Proud follower 🙂

[@mindrover777]

True

[@ericcox6764]

​@ladislavsurovcik3129 same for me. I started watching her when she was in Columbia crossing that abandoned skinny train bridge. After that episode, I was hooked and went back to season one and have watched everything she's produced. In my opinion, there isn't a better KZbin channel than Itchy Boots. I happily support this lady in what she does!!

[@zweispurmopped]

There's no excuse, even!!1! 🤗 They educate you and improve your mental health, brighten up days and exercise your face muscles to improve your smiles! ☺

[@jnjerinduati]

Africans are by nature very hospitable and they like visitors

[@andredutoit7710]

I am in awe. This lady has more courage than I could ever muster. Just when you do not think it can get any tougher, it does, but she always keeps calm with a sense of humour. It is also heartening to see how many good people there are in this world, always willing to help.

[@mudujohnjo88]

Extremely happy to witness the supports given to you from the villagers and the way you interact with them is just fantastic. Noraly, we are proud of you and pray that your adventures will help many to understand that we should always be grateful with what we have. I couldn't stop rewinding this video, the River and all those trees, OMG...Paradise as you mentioned it!

[@KimKemboi]

This journey was treacherous, the slippery roads, the river crossing... Unbelievably difficult, yet conquered with a cheeky laugh every so often. Above all, the hospitality of the people along the way, amazing!

[@christophere.herbert418]

This episode should be tagged for all high school and college classes world wide, where the African Culture is presented and discussed. I nominate you for World Ambassador to the United Nations with what you have shown us over the last few years especially now. Really enjoyed this episode. Thank you very much for sharing this. Hope your bowl of grubs delicacy tasted better than they looked.

[@Moxieman]

I'll bet you are all wondering ..why noraly falls ..there is almost no way to stay up without support. That's why you see the local people with feet like skis..

[@tshililonekhavhambe]

Hi. I'm from the north of South Africa. We also eat the Mopani worms and they are indeed a delicacy and very nutritious.

[@Simulera]

Maybe that’s why a slang word for simple food is “grub” ! A literal description of the situation!

[@yvetteguigueno2063]

I love how respectful and appreciative you are Noraly. It’s beautiful to see the world through your eyes.

[@jahson460]

One of the most beautiful countries in the world. Beautiful Africa. Thanks for a beautiful video.

[@ragweed3524]

Wow! The innocence , helpfulness and curiosity of all the people along this road is so endearing. The village that took you in for the night were such a blessing. Alaska did well on her river crossings too. Really loved these two days.

[@Olieman2012]

This was one of the best episodes of Noraly; what a beautiful and kind world we live in. She has shown joy and hope to the world.

[@duwomaiishgabrielle9498]

As a person who lived in Europe and got to travel to 29 countries so far , I still love seeing the beauty& friendliness of people everywhere. It's the first thing I tell people....how nice humans in general are, second the beauty of the world❤️ I love your videos🇨🇦😊

[@ring-tone278]

Those fellas are very smart crossing that river with motorbikes on a canoe. Simple but effective.

[@stekariuki4241]

I hope the world is watching ! This is the spirit of Africa ! It never leaves you the same .you just need to smile 😊

[@ComputerGeekOnTwoWheels]

Thank you to the people of Central African Republic for all your hospitality and helping Noraly. Such amazing spirit of the people; beautiful humanity.

[@bobyrasta100]

Unfortunately these innocent people are under western sanctions, Reasons being that terrorists that where used by the NATO let coalition that toppled Qaddafi in Libya invaded these country(Central African republic, Chad, Burkinaffaso, Mali, Niger etc) and the leader of this country decided to seek help from Russia in order to fight the terrorists that where causing genocide in these innocent villages, unfortunately France that refused to help and was the main actor against Qaddafi in Libya called on her NATO allies to sanction this country and they did. The good people of the western world need to know both sides of these problems.

[@SwirlingsOfLight]

I’m so glad you were treated well in all the villages. That’s African hospitality. So my question is if an African biker would be riding around the Netherlands like this, would he/she get the same hospitality? If we only learned to love all humans the same, we would be a much better planet. Itchy, your humility through this journey has made me a fan.

[@omarutariq9501]

Great Question

[@ogalaali4439]

... and no answers!🤔

[@SuperMohd1985]

Lol, what do you expect them to do😂 these villages are so rural and it's rare to see a white woman on a bike so often not the other way around.

[@V59971]

Not to say there are no beautiful human beings in that part of the world, but the chances for such hospitality is - 0

[@sharkydog45]

many people ride bikes here

[@sevenirises]

Even though this video was full of... "oh my's oh, oh".....it sure was a life changing moment for a young man sitting atop a motorcycle crossing a river who will tell that tale for years to come. What a great adventure to see the world this way.

[@kwakuasare1664]

The most hospitable and kind hearted people can be found in Africa ❤❤

[@b4utravel]

This is one of my favorites of your African episodes. The kindness of the villagers that sheltered and protected you and enjoyed your stay was beautiful. And finally the place where you ended the episode was amazing.

[@RandysRides]

One thing I've noticed about your travels..... you ride through places the media describes to the world as terrible, but you show the good side. I think we all need to see both perspectives so we can confirm the world still has good people, and it's not a living hell that TV likes to show. So...thanks for that. :)

[@beaujac311]

I never see these places in the media. I think the media gets too much credit for covering Africa when in reality they rarely do.

[@OAE7477]

You have to remember that 'media' is a for profit business designed to control peoples thoughts. If they can control someone's thoughts and emotions it is easier to have access to people wallets to enrich themselves.

[@jadatispeter]

Exactly. What we hear as (western) travel advice is: do NOT travel to Central African Republic as there are huge safety risks and you are likely to get robbed or encounter rebellion violence. And there is Noraly, a white solo travelling female who is treated with a smile and a lot of respect. Such a pity that fear is ruling our media.

[@beaujac311]

@@jadatispeter You said travel advice first then you said media. I can agree about the travel advice being that you have to look that up yourself online. I never hear any media here in the US talking about Central African Republic. The media here very rarely covers anything in regards to Africa. I bet if you ask any Africans living in the US where do they go to get news on Africa they most definitely won't tell you US media.

[@jadatispeter]

@@beaujac311 What I meant is that we (I am from Netherlands, just as Noraly, but probably there is not much difference from the US on this topic) don’t get any news from those countries unless it is bad news. Strengthening the ‘don’t go there, dangerous!’ message. But you are right, travel advice is usually government or public health organisation related.

[@alfredlegrandnizeyimana8232]

African we are rich by character, hospitality in our villages is an obligation, Noraly is our Ambassador , She is showing the real image of Africa. Keep up Noraly May God bless you!

[@richieinHB]

I just binge watched these episodes. Ok - i was totally brought to tears at the kindness of the villagers - "don't worry, you are safe with us". And to see them all come out to say good bye. I looked up this country - one of the 5 poorest in the world and yet these people are SO RICH in so many things that matter. May the God of heaven protect them from harm, give them good health, peace and joy all of their days. Would love to get the chance to visit this place.

[@felixolaogun]

The lesson I learn from your videos is that human, whatever their colors, races or nationalities, love each other fundamentally, even if some people try to hide this reality through their bad attitudes. This is why people like me are always hungry for Itchy Boots videos, and I admit that I am never disappointed, because I am always convinced that there is always love buried in the heart of humanity. Let's make this side of us, grow and it's certain that the war will disappear by itself. Thank you dear Africans for showing us this hospitality and true love and you Itchy Boot for highlighting them through your videos.

[@gogul.s]

The villagers vibes were so pure that I couldn't help but cry tears of joy. It's been a while since I felt this way, but seeing them touched me on a profound level. Always drawn to kind souls, and your videos allowed me to experience the place where modern humans originated, leaving me feeling incredibly blessed. 👍

[@toodie6980]

Thank you for saying the above. You are right! Kind souls everywhere and now we know for sure, never think the media is true and honest. These are magnificent people, their kindness shows in every vlog posted by Noraly! Such a sweet strong person she is!

Well said! I struggled to find the right words.

Proud to be an African seeing the way the villagers help and welcome you, Noraly. Thank you for presenting positive attitudes all the way. Every stop for the night is beautiful, as lowly as they were. Again, I wish you a safe trip on your way
