On a motorcycle trip to Alaska in 2008 I blew up the engine just south of the Yukon Territory line. A really nice couple stopped and gave me a ride (about 10 miles) to the nearest truck stop. From there 3 truckers helped me go back to get the motorcycle, bring it back to the truck stop. There it got loaded on the back of one driver’s Kenworth and hauled me and the bike to Anchorage (1,000 miles?). I got dropped off there and 3 days later the same trucker (who had made a run to Fairbanks) picked me up and decided he would give me a ride back to Great Falls, MT (where my trip started). 2,495 miles back.

I am 72 years old, and took up back country riding and camping about 4 and a half years ago. I ride a Suzuki DR 650, and after watching Noraly's ride through Alaska and the Youkon, it inspired me to do just that. I rode from Vancouver BC to Tuktoyuktuk NWT and back, taking as many dirt roads as possible in the time frame I had. I was gone 40 days, camped 30 nights widerness camping, and rode 11000 kms. Noraly was the inspiration to do this, and she has my utmost respect and gratitude for demonstrating the courage to step outside ones comfort zone. Next year my younger brother Mark and myself will truck our bikes to Yuma AZ and then ride Copper canyon MX. Thank you again Noraly for the inspiration.

She might have been better off having surgery in Africa. Having lived in both Southern Germany and the Southern US (Texas) this is what so many Americans with the "grass is always greener" complex just refuse to accept, that the healthcare in much of Europe is absolutely abysmal. I was neglected in a Germany hospital with four people per room separated by a curtain, nurses would take an hour to come after alerted and then apologize they are understaffed, and the amount of mistakes and lack of funding are so apparent. Then I was in Texas which I had heard was horrible for healthcare and I was treated like a queen in the most amazing facilities and staff and with my own private room that was so clean and modern.

Yes, what a heartwarming story of compassion. But, i do hope Noraly must realize that while most people are simply trying to work and feed their families, she's just putting herself in very dangerous situations with no consideration for the imposition she creates for not having her own support team. I'm all for Noraly and her adventures, but this solo concept is just not a responsible way to continue. It's time to be responsible and get a team together for this adventure to function in a more responsible way.

What a lovely comment, Christine. Condolences for your loss.

Carissima Noraly sono sollevata che sei al sicuro...anche se sei rientrata in Olanda per avere cure migliori alla fine forse in africa avresti trovato ospedali in grado di operarti senza perforarti il polmone...chissà.. ti auguro di rimetterti in forma presto, prenditi tutto il tempo che ti serve .. non avere fretta noi ti aspettiamo per la prossima avventurissima stagione...

As a doctor, i just kept developing goosebumps as the story progressed. The bumpy ride in pain, the punctured lung. Wishing you a speedy recovery with no more complications. You make us women proud by showing how brave and resilient we can be. Stay strong!!!. My Wednesday and Sunday evenings will be very dull now. But you need the time to heal and we are praying for you. Take care!!! Love, a Nigerian who has been watching you in Saudi Arabia.

[@talosdarkbane2432]

I am a retired APRN and I am truly disappointed and quite shocked at the level of care she received in her home country's hospital. She held off and went home to have better health care and by the looks of it she did not receive that care unfortunately. I wish the best for Noraly and hope she heals well without any more complications. Take care and you will be missed can't wait til your next adventure.

As a physician I cannot help but comment your medical care is a new level of incompetence.

A few years ago, while my mom was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer, I sat her mom down and we began watching your videos. We started with season 1 and she was so amazed with your fearless attitude. She fell in love with all of your adventures. She ended her fight and passed in December of 2023. This is the first time I am able to watch your videos without her here. I just couldn’t do it, but I’m glad, today, I did. She would always say how brave you were… I’m so glad you’re safe… your videos bring so much comfort to me… thank you

[@deldridg]

Mark - I'm sorry for your loss mate. There will always be a big hole there but it sounds like you were close and no doubt will have many happy memories. We lost my beautiful dad this time last year after a brief but tough battle with cancer and I still find myself reaching for the phone to call him and talk about nothing in particular. We talked almost every day since I left home at 18 to go to uni (now in my 50s). No more suffering and we were lucky to have had them in our lives. Take care brother and know that you're not alone in your difficult moments. Cheers from Sydney - Dave

Mark, I envy your mother having such a devoted son. I’ve got Stage IV prostate cancer, COPD and kidney disease so something is bound to get me. I’ve been fortunate like your mother with her son. My son asked me to move into the guest bedroom so they could take care of me. My daughter is an hour and a half away and comes to visit. What you did for your mother is more than a lot of adult children would do. God Bless you.

Dear Noraly, I usually watch your videos with my 6 and a half year old son in the morning before we go to preschool. We find it inspiring and uplifting and in general a great way to start the day. I get to teach my son about all the different places and people around the world. When I told my son what had happened to you he almost started to cry. He wants you to know that he loves you very much and wishes you a speedy recovery. Best wishes from Viktor and Ivan from Croatia!!!

Without question, this is the most heart wrenching and emotional video she has ever produced. 65 year old make here and fighting back tears. Noraly, the most determined and resourceful person that I have ever encountered. Her mettle is unbreakable and unfathomable. Bless you young lady and may you heal well and heal fast. Looking forward to Season 8 and your book in English. God has without question been with you all the time. To be rescued by doctors?? Really!! And then a complete stranger rides Alaska in frigid weather for 4-5 hours to get her back to you. Praise Jesus and the Angels that have been with you all along.

[@Pher1954]

I 100% agree. I've watched too many NDE's to know that all the people involved in her rescue were sent. They just didn't know it.

[@jasonzerbini2375]

I fully agree Paul. I've teared up in other videos but was overcome with emotion here throughout. Try explaining that to people at work! Just like many of her videos Noraly packs so much into it and though this was troubling content, she still made a masterpiece out of it, Noraly style. For years I have seen so many comments saying angels have to be watching over her because of miracles we've seen happen. And here we are again, doctors just happen along on a sparse travelled remote mountain road in Tanzania!!! Can't make this stuff up. I have been praying for Noraly every day for a long time so she is able to continue shining the light on humanity and setting real life examples how to treat people. A year ago I vowed to greet and treat people like Noraly shows us and it has changed me. Still working on the cussing part when things go wrong but there is progress, LOL. Also anticipating the English version of book. I hope Alaska makes it back to her safely. So sad about the punctured lung but in a way if there is a bright side she needed to be forced to rest for months, not weeks as she is a workaholic in every sense or word. Peace brother!

[@slicinglife4115]

Amen! I agree 100%.

[@alanyoung474]

Yes I fully agree with Paul and Jason, she needs to rest and come back fully fit. I fractured my collar bone in a bike accident and it took me a full month to get back to riding again. You take care Noraly and hope Alaska is back with you by now. God Bless and recover soon.

Liebe Noraly. Im a german Girl from Germany NRW. My Englisch is not so good. So i want to Tell you my opinions in german. Ich hatte Tränen in den Augen und ich war geschockt als ich deinen Unfall gesehen habe. Ich folge dir seit einem halben Jahr jede Woche seit mein Hund gestorben ist und ich einen neuen Sinn im Leben suchte. Bin 57 Jahre alt, habe mich nur um andere Menschen gekümmert. Seit ich Zeit habe, mich um mich zu kümmern und auf der Suche nach neuen Herausforderungen bin habe ich durch deinen Kanal und deine wunderbaren Videos einen neuen Lebenssinn und neue Möglichkeiten gefunden mein Leben neu zu gestalten und das zu tun was mich glücklich macht. Durch dich und deine Videos habe ich wieder Mut für neue Abenteuer entdeckt und du hast mir gezeigt was eine Frau alles kann. Dein Mut, deine harte Arbeit, deine Sicht auf Menschen in ihren Kulturen und dein Respekt gegenüber jedem Individium hat mich nicht nur beeindruckt und demütig werden lassen. Ich möchte dir von Herzen danken, das du das tust was du tust. Ich habe eine völlig andere Perspektive zu den Menschen entwickelt. Habe wieder mit einem kleinen Motorrad fahren angefangen um meine Ängste zu überwinden und werde immer mutiger. Ich wünsche dir nach deinem Unfall alles liebe, Glück und eine schnelle Genesung. Erhol dich ausgiebig für neue Herausvorderungen. Sammle Kraft für neues. Dein Körper sagt dir genau wann es Zeit ist sich zurückzuziehen. Und irgendwann geht es dann weiter. Ich freue mich auf dein Buch egal ob auf niederländisch oder englisch. Ich freue mich irgendwann wieder etwas von dir zu hören. Achte gut auf dich. Wir haben nur dieses eine Leben. Liebe Grüße Beate😊❤
