Gambian men cannot believe their eyes 🇬🇲 |S7E32|

In this episode I am crossing the Saloum Delta in Senegal, on my way to The Gambia. Another border crossing yes! The border crossing is fine - but the chaos truly begins when I board the ferry to cross the river Gambia! There are many, many, police and army checkpoints in The Gambia and they all ask me tonnes of questions. They don't get to see women on motorcycles here often..

Yeah I be proud to, a courageous women who explores every continent of the world who's not amazed by that.

[@beatieswanepoel3004]

[@getoutwithrockandsherri]

An awesome adventure! The Gambian folks seem pretty laid back and kind. Thanks for the inside look!

[@SULLYtheSojourner]

I was disappointed when your Americas trip ended because I thought nothing would equal that. Once again you have surprised us with more great adventures. Keep on keeping on!😊❤

[@annoyed707]

She still has eastern North America to do. Great Lakes, Canadian Shield, Appalachia, Bay of Fundy, Newfoundland, etc. Hopefully timed for the big solar eclipse next year.

The man at the gate, you are the lady I love!!!!!!!! Get in line man,it's miles back.

[@0HARE]

I so enjoy seeing your interactions with all the friendly people you meet. All your travels reinforce the notion that we are all in this together. Positive Vibrations!

[@yusuphajammeh7959]

That's amazing seeing my Gambian people through here..

[@felipedourado5721]

I guess Alaska is becoming some sort of "amphibian" bike since she is acting more and more calm every water crossing.😉 As always you, Noraly, prove us that a big and honest smile is a powerful door opener. All the best from Brazil.✌

[@tonkooij]

Je maakt er opnieuw een prachtig avontuur van, en geweldig om je video’s te bekijken . ❤

Another example of how men, at least men of honor, are naturally inclined to help a woman when she needs assistance, be it locating a ticket purchase, crossing a border or loading her motorcycle on a skiff to cross a body of water. They are impressed, as are we, how you negotiate so many foreign countries, languages and chaotic situations with aplomb.

[@lasagnapepeeno]

Nah, as someone who lived in Africa as a child I can only say she is incredibly lucky, and you are all incredibly naive.

[@osimnod]

@@lasagnapepeeno Perhaps you missed the caveat of "men of honor"?

[@rev.wukolokollie8675]

Good to see you traveling to the Gambia. Your travel through Africa is also giving me a broad knowledge on the countries and culture you passed through and how receptive my brothers and sisters are you. The bike you ride is attractive with the GPS and everyone is excited when you come across them with your smiles and laughter. Keep up the good work.

[@JohnnyBeegood1]

It's amazing how nice all the people you meet are. It's probably your friendly personality that set them all at ease. Enjoying the ride along. 😀

[@fredogden936]

Noraly: You are showing us a world we did not know existed. Thank you for expanding our horizons.

[@Pedroforpresident2024]

🤣

[@atticuskilby515]

The Gambian People are inquisitive and quite friendly. Noraly, you have traversed desert, water, mountain, and crowded market places on this journey, so very smoothly. I am amazed; you take it all in stride.

[@ReptilesGeniales]

Such a positive vibe! I loved it!! I am a Swedish woman who has travel around the world all alone two times, I loved it!

[@sarahporter9541]

If you knew the joy and adventure you bring! I was born and raised in East Africa...and had many amazing experiences..and trips...now as an older adult...would love to grab my sister...and do some shared travels. You are an inspiration! Thanks so much!

[@ragbag46]

Me too, almost, although only arriving in Dar at age five. I often wonder how it is today. We finally returned to England from Entebbe when I was 16. I am hoping Noraly visits some of the places I remember, namely the game parks, and the 🏝 around Dar.

[@bikermc]

Gambian are very expressive, lovely people

[@user-kn1kl2fg8i]

[@MrPotatochips4]

The things I don't know about the world and the people are infinite, thanks x1000 for all the wonderful surprises and expanding my mind :D
