The INSANE escape mechanism of the Guinean People 🇬🇳 |S7E39|

In this episode I am visiting the Echelles de Lelouma - centuries old handmade staircases hugging the steep cliffs of Guinea. There is a fascinating history to these stairs and it baffles me that they are still being used until today...

Today I met a very petite lady with greying hair while standing in line at Popeyes for lunch. I noticed she had a slight accent, beautiful white teeth, a super friendly and very pleasant attitude/disposition, and asked her where she is from. She said Ghana. I mentioned that I'm watching Itchey Boots drive her moto thru West Africa and am so impressed with how friendly and helpful ALL the people there are to Noraly. She lit up like a sprarkler !! She offered me a coupon she had for a big discount on a meal, I accepted and then noticed she was very exacting on her purchase and counting her money very carefully. Then the cashier stepped away for a moment and I thought, "What would Noraly do??" When she returned I asked her to add the lady's ticket to mine. A friendly protest ensued but I prevailed and we were both very happy with the result. THANK YOU Noraly for showing us the "best side" of people all over the world. THANK YOU, too, Noraly for inspiring one of the happiest moments I've had in a long time. I would bet that this same type of happy encounter happens a thousand times a day everywhere, to a greater or lesser extent, due mainly to you showing all of us the other people in this world.

In english? yes. In spanish there are two more guys, one of which, is also friend of Noraly. His channel is Charly Sinewan, 14 years traveling around the world. All his content is in Spanish, but he speaks English and travelled all around the US during some of those years He is basically the same as Noraly but male version, they even have a couple of episodes together when they crossed paths in El Salvador (in Noraly's channel is season 6 episode 61 and 62). The only difference I see is that Charly tries to ride and meet the whole country while Noraly goes a lot faster. Charly started america in 2016 and stayed in the US close to 2 years, same in Mexico and in every single country he stays way too long, riding through small towns and meeting people and interviewing them. The other guy is Agustín Ostos, his channel "Soy Tribu". 5 years on road and 18+ countries. He makes a ton of interviews of native American towns in his travels through south and central America, right now he is in Mexico.

Most of us here in my small part of the world only get to see places when they are in the news. We only hear about a place when there is a war or a disaster. Your videos show the amassing way humanity lives. Even in places were it is so backwards without running water or electricity. Yet they have so much dignity. I hope you know Jesus because you are showing His creation in His light. everywhere the good and loving people. Well done. May God bless you and keep you safe.

I am surprised that Honda has not stepped up and sponsored you, they couldn't get better advertisement for their little 300 capability. You look even more beautiful covered in dirt IMO , you have taken me to places I didn't even know I wanted to go to thank you for showing us all how the remote places work with so little . Shows us all how good we have it.

Itchy Boots, it’s always a pleasure to watch your traveling adventures! You’re sharing information and locations that most of us would not have known about..... Have a Blessed journey and Safe travelings!!!

[@rafaelmotos]

I must say that Noraly´s adventures are simply INSPIRING..... no more words to add.

My goodness, I have just read through maybe 200 comments! Such an impressive lady Noraly and her bike, Alaska. I was scared for you in the beginning of the video. Then I realised you speak enough languages to connect with the local people and they think you are great. I find it refreshing that they hold you and your bike with respect and don't thieve from you. That is truly uplifting. And that ladder! Absolutely amazing. I vaguely remember something about it form my much younger years at school. My teacher was a man who wanted us to know everything and he showed us things from unusual parts of the world. But I have not heard of these ladders since. Epic to see them still in daily use 60yrs since I learned about them at school. And to hear they are 100s of years old is absolutely astonishing. I said to myself, those women walking with those long dresses on could not have come up those ladders. But apparently they did indeed come up those ladders only 30mins before! Just phenomenal. I have watched 3 of your videos over the last few months and will endeavor to watch more if I have time. Great work and an amazing embassedor for all.

Loved your comment!!

I was bit scary for you in my country sierra Leone not to come across with the society men😂

[@scautt1656]

Africa is incredibly beautiful and culturally rich. People are mostly good and smart. Nice that you show this to the world!!!!!

[@williampansarhandske5756]

lol

[@veiledallegory]

Culturally rich? Is that another way of saying desperately poor? I love learning about cultures different than my own but feel for those who live in desperate conditions.

Absolutely incredible ride, walk & drone view of the ravine ladders. I could sense your near heat exhaustion. Feared for your possible dehydration. A wise decision to not venture further given your circumstances. You took us your viewers to a place I doubt none of us will ever see. Great ride. You were right to protect yourself & your bike. Looking forward to your next post.

[@raktoda707]

Those ladders, centuries old with all those stories attached were awesome.I do thank you for educating us.Dont know how you are enduring all challenges and still have enough strength, interest and good humor to share the journey with us. Strength and Respect to you!

[@lucindavillarreal2676]

I agree with your comment. The conditions are becoming truly challenging but I believe Noraly thrives in these conditions!! Go Itchy Boots!!

[@sslcfc]

Noraly you are so chill. Kept those kids under control like a pro. Not even a curse word needed. They loved you.

Noraly, I am a man in my seventies, world traveler and adventurer, sky diver, expert skier, hot air balloonist, parasailer, white water rafter, to name a few, and have the introvert advantage. Thank you for sharing your travels with me. Even I am impressed by the all round person you are!!!

**Hi Noraly!!** It has been a minute since I have last seen a video of yours, albeit I did know that you were "tackling" the continent of Africa on Alaska, Impressive, very impressive indeed!!! When you started doing the racing thing, I thought to myself.., "damn... good for you Noraly, as I absolutely believe in, and love seeing a brave, strong and beautiful young woman like you, taking on a "mostly male, sporting event," such as over-country, motorcycle racing... 👏... well done, you!!! HOWEVER, and having said that, I now have started abandoning that thought... because in ALL SERIOUSNESS... I HONESTLY BELIEVE THAT YOU HAVE FOUND YOUR TRUE CALLING....., and that is, exploring the entire world on an Enduro motorcycle, while documenting, sharing, in its entirety, every physical, every emotional and every crazy-fun moment along the way!!! I am going to go out on a limb here, and state this... I do believe in your future, and your very own "NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC," travel show!!!!! NOWWWWW, THAT TRULY WOULD BE EXCITING, while ushering in New breath in the tired old concept of travelling/exploring television shows!!!! Because, NO ONE, AND I MEAN ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, IS DOING IT AS WELL, AND WITH AS MUCH PASSION AS YOU ARE DOING IT!!!!! ANYWAY, KEEP ON KEEPING ON SISTER EXPLORER!!!!!!!!!!😁 PEACE!!!!!!!!!!✌🏼

[@jasonstone1046]

Absolutely loving the adventure.

[@ReelBasileno]

The reaction of people seeing something new is really lovable to watch.

[@BL-jt3qt]

I can only repeat what I've said many times before...... Noraly, you are one very amazing, very daring and very adventurous Lady. Your idea of 'fun' by far exceeds anything that I would ever try. Take care and stay safe.

[@kevinbrennan2004]

Humanity in its purest form. Noraly..😀.You know how to adventure mate. Once again, a stunning video. The kids, the country, those "stairs"?? WOW🤠

[@robertmassolini4503]

Africa is a fantastic Continent!! Noraly, I started following yr journey when you came to South Africa, then to Botswana and Zimbabwe. I was born and bred in Zambia and have lived there for half of my life before migrating over to Australia. I noticed you had been to Victoria Falls on the Zimbabwean side. I'm so enjoying following you in West Africa. You are a very brave woman that's all I can say!! Be careful and travel safe.
