What a queen of bike traveling adventure you are… Amazing, how you come up with the places you visit and overwelm us all…
utterly fascinating!
Hi Noraly, in response to a comment on one of your videos this season, you wrote “I don’t use AI in the subtitles.” If you’re using a service for this, it looks like they might be using AI.
where is frankie??????
Red gasoline???????
Great video, but that is one ugly bike.
"Reserve fuel" takes me back to my Honda 50 in the 1970s.
So good, thank you 🙏🏻
You are amazing, so many hidden world gems you keep showing during your travels… keep it up and thanks to your wonderful guides. Decent people all of them… love the "beach" front resident

Gotta say Noraly, have been following you for round five years, these past few episodes have been absolutely fascinating thanks so much for showing us that part of the world. The best episodes ever in my book, thanks again ❤…
thank you for showing this side of our country
this caveman has a supermarket in your house.
Very interesting, thanks for sharing.🇬🇾
absolutely WOW!!!! 😍
Another very fascinating video of the land and the gentleman living in the cave. Absolutely interesting how he caught so many different fish and squid by hand. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. Ride safe ride free Noraly.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I think I have had enough Socotra. Time to move on.
National Geographic ain’t got nuthin over the cave guy, amazing!🤗
What an experience.
Norali, I think i missed the episode that you loose your bike, what happened to your frankenstein Yamaha?
In all honesty it is becoming more like a booked and paid by sponsors tour. Beside that, Yemen is being bombed by the US. That is the reason why nobody travel to Yemen or Socotra because it is not safe for foreignors and do you see only locals Noraly. There is a negative travel advise to Yemen. I think you should mention this also in your video Noraly. As a dutchie you should know what can happen flying from or to Yemen and Socotra when the country is under attack from the US. You should respect the advise from your own government Noraly. Maybe you forgot MH17, July 17, 2014. Your videos are stunning, but not at any cost. Do not travel to Yemen or Socotra at this time, it is not safe.
الامارات تسيطر على سقطرى لذلك من الافضل لك عدم ذكرهم بسوء و الا سوف يقومون بطردك من الجزيرة 😂

Hello When you go to your country, where your bike is now Middle Eastern, they may ask for a visa for cycling😅

The tanks were not left by the Portuguese, who were only there at the beginning of the 16th century. They are Soviet tanks.
Sea wildlife ❤
Geweldig ❤
You drank tea that was poured into a giant clam shell, from some dude in a cave that wore an orca tooth necklace,. Bonus, he had the whole rest of the orca skeleton. Yep, okay. That beats my summer vacay
