They Don’t Let Me Into Kunduz Easily – AFGHANISTAN 🇦🇫 | S8, EP90
As the sun dips below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the rugged landscapes of Afghanistan, one adventurer embarks on a journey fraught with uncertainty. In this gripping episode, we follow the intrepid Noraly Schoenmaker as she rides her motorcycle toward Kunduz, a region steeped in complex history and contemporary challenges.
Kunduz, notorious for its volatility, presents a striking contrast to the serene beauty of Afghanistan’s vistas. Noraly’s anticipation is palpable as she prepares to traverse this perilous territory, navigating not only the rugged terrain but also the political realities that come with traveling in a post-Taliban landscape.
The presence of Taliban forces adds an unexpected layer to her adventure, raising questions about safety, resilience, and the unyielding spirit of exploration. Will she be allowed entry into this pivotal region, or will her journey be halted by the realities on the ground? Each mile brings her closer to the unknown, and with it, the stories waiting to unfold.
Join Noraly as she confronts the challenges of her journey with courage and curiosity, all while highlighting the breathtaking landscapes that make Afghanistan a land of contrasts. This is not just a ride; it’s an exploration of human spirit and the desire to traverse the unexplored, against all odds. Buckle up for an unforgettable adventure in Kunduz!

“Brunch While Riding” — only Noraly can turn a meal into an adventure! 😄 Love how every day brings something new on the road.
How often do you have to change your air filter?
I thought the war as over who are they still fighting? are the guns for controlling their own people?
6:14 what a stunning view, I want to be there, just sitting and watching for a few hours.
Amazing
8:06 – the guy asked do you speak russian, lol bcz of your blue eyes and blond hair 😀
I wish you a healthy and peaceful journey.
I wouldnt go to Afghanistan if i got one million dollars.. NO way! People with brains got out of that area 12 000 years ago.
I happened to love that “5 star”hotel room loll… More like a little adventure within the big one
they need to look after their own country. So do we.

I have now watched this episode for the third time! The kindness of the people cast no doubt that there is good people all around the world! Frankie getting washed was a blessing! The crowd loved it. The architecture of the ancient buildings is amazing. Glad you found a “5 Star” Hotel and had a nice stay! Ride safe Noraly!

We the People! That is heartwarming to see the American Constitution first words in real life due to this wonder which is Noraly! For local officials, even to state officials where Noraly will be visiting, I advise them to receive her with full honors, make her journey as easy as possible, the benefits that she is bringing to your countries are ENORMOUS!

As an Arian german you travelling through the ancient Aryana Iran especially spending a night in ancient capital cty of Aryana Iran Bamiyan. You visited the tump of the Arian hero Rustam, Rustam were ruling Aryana Iran around 5,800 years ago during Mithraism God Mitra. Those status are the status of Mitra God not Buddha or Buddhism.
You also didn't notice those Hazara people living in Bamiyan city are Arian Persian the actual Persian with high end Arian DNA.
I am just wondering how the German people call themselves Arian while doesn't know where anything about Arian Persian history?
To be honest, ordinary people will carry an AK-47 and NOT be part of the Taliban. I have been to that area when it was Mujahideen controlled and many people had weapons. It is a bit of a 'wild west' environment.
Watched it like 10 times: "The room tour is not end yet😀"
Are you going Zagros mountains
May be any red light outside your last hotel ????
the picture on the hotel wall is the masjid of Medina Saudi arabia
Hello Noraly, My name is Andrew, I am 55 years old and live in Central Canada my family come from Germany, Poland, Norway, and Estonia and also have some Ojibwe(Northern Canadian Indigenous), i am born in Canada in Northwestern Ontario in a city called Thunder Bay, I grew up riding moto and bikes and have great mechanical skills as well as video and sound editing experience and use the same cameras that I see you using and am well travelled, this past January I was diagnosed with stage 4 Colorectal Cancer that has spread to my lymph nodes, I have completed my 1st – 6 week round of heavy daily chemo and radiation and had excellent results and am now awaiting round 2 to begin very shortly and after this next round will have a huge window, possibly up to a year and i have been seeking a project to help give me my spirit and fight back and I would like to say that you are a true inspiration and have become a huge fan and would like to throw this out there….. If you would ever like a travel partner second bike for a long trip, In the new year, this kind of thing would be a dream come true for me, I speak fluent German, French, and can get by in spanish, Korean, and a few others and well would love to gear up and join you as possibly a last grand hooray, other than the cancer I am in top physical health and would have no issues on a long trip and would get all medical clearances first, I would love to do a northern silk road ride starting in either Japan or south eastern China riding through China than through tibet making our way west through the alps than through Europe, but any long trip would be awesome as I am very adaptable, I have no problem riding long distances or difficult terrain, I would definately cover my own expenses or share In everything, and I believe something like this would be great for my body mind and soul and would also give me a whole new reason and direction in life!!! I will try to find your email (mine will start with "kyewdrew")
and send you this as well!!! A dream without a bike is just a dream, Four wheels move the body, but two wheels move the soul, and Ride not to escape life, but for life not to escape you.
I truly hope 1 day to cross paths and to meet I'm person but if this doesn't happen know I will always be here watching and I am riding next to you in spirit every mile!!! Thank you for being you and stay safe out there!!
