Just ran across this posted a couple of hours ago. Itchy Boots flew her new bike to Ecuador and is now headed to Alaska.

Always remember that what you see posted from her is about three weeks old. Doesn't want people tracking or joining in. So, real life today may be quite different from the current report. We'll see how she progresses.

Her FB page puts her at Quito airport at 3:36 AM Dec 8. And then that evening she posts the day's events of getting the bike released and then picked up on her youtube channel on Dec 8th after she spent the day there. She has posted from Dec 6th getting the bike crated up for air flight to Ecuador. She has a FB quote on Dec 6 saying "THERE WE GO! Alaska in a crate and me on an airplane to South America!! Watch it in a few hours on my YouTube channel and you’ll see where I went to restart the journey!!
That is fairly fast turn around time.
2 days before that on Dec 4th she has a story of taking the ferry to England I tend to to think she is in close to real time on this trip.
-
She is so organized I wouldn’t doubt that she sinks her Facebook posts with her videos and has a lag built in for safety.
Also, look at her intro for this season. Things we haven't seen yet.

Frankly, I (we) were bored with the topography of Africa. South America is already much more interesting..

Unless of course she had to out run a big cat chasing her :food: . Not sure she would have had time to get her GoPro focused for a good video.

...at this rate, there will be at least 100 episodes by the time she reaches Alaska, so I give up...no more updates on her adventures from here...
-
It's near one in the morning here, and as is usual I cannot sleep - so I'm watching S6 / E18
That woman has it together - I don't know what gives me more anxiety, using my sparse Spanish to avoid the subtitles and pretend I'm there, or watching the traffic she drives through, or how she navigate the social / legal morass of international borders, or crossing that river and dealing with all the mud, or ... Well, you see my point.
-
E21 is already up. guys have some catching up to do. I think E20 with her buried in the mud showed some good ingenuity on her part to get it out by herself. It was buried bad.
-
I've been watching and enjoying thoroughly. I had quit when she was done the the RE Himalayans but the CRF300L looks to be a decent bike, somewhat lacking in torque and I do wonder why she never complains about that narrow saddle after 8 hour days. Well if Honda gave me a bike I probably wouldn't bad mouth it either.........And South American does look pretty awesome for such and adventure.

We watched episode 19 last night. Gorgeous. I would love to do that ride..

Where did you see or read that Honda gave her a bike? First I'm hearing it.
-
She said when she got the bike South Africa it was all she could afford and it was second hand.

That was a different bike. This new one is a 300. I've never heard of Honda giving it to her, either.. but they are missing a really good opportunity if they didn't. Same with RE, although she has found that lighter is better.
-
I think she purchases her own bikes https://www.itchyboots.com/blog/season-6-new-bike-of-choice

That was a 250. The new SA adventure - season 6 is a CRF300 i think. The South Africa bike was left in a museum collection in South Africa on loan.

It was difficult to watch this episode while eating my lunch. I could definitely empathize with what she was going through in this episode. Leaving us with a cliff hanger while on the edge of a cliff. dang!

That road was real sketchy,not my idea of a fun day.

I did not hear it but I would assume that Honda would have the sense to give her a current, new bike, for the incredible advertising.

I’m sure if they would have reached out to her, she would have accepted it as long as no strings attached. She wants to be honest and says she will not compromise her values to be an influencer. She just wants to travel and bring that to us. She has already pointed out negatives of the bike which she might not have been able to had corporate Honda given her the bike.

She bought it. She did get her riding kit from RevIt (Dutch) and her luggage from can't remember, but she was upfront with those and doesn't really mention them since. Plenty of logo's on show. Somewhere I read there was a crew with her but I think that's BS. Everything I've seen is POV/Selfie stick drone.

So many people can't fathom the idea that Noraly is doing this on her own. It is just not in their world view that an independent, educated, self sufficient, driven, focused, talented female exists.
-
She makes a lot of money. A lot more than most people.
I'm pretty sure she can buy a cheap bike for each new trip.

I hope she makes that much money, (because she deserves it) but that is just a swag. That is just another YouTube channel trying to make money.
There are so many detailed factors that go into what you make off YouTube. A lot has to do with where your audience is located, are they watching the ads. Are they clicking on the ads. Are they buying the products in the ads. She doesn't have paying sponsors.
The video in your link has no clue how many products she is selling through her website. On and on.
You would be better served finding actual YouTubers who share what they make than watching that YouTube Channel.
This guy (TeamOne Learning LK) serves mostly 3rd world countries and says he makes $100 for 357.1K views. That is around the number of views Noraly has per video. So, somewhere between $100 and what the money matters channel posts.
If you can suffer through this video, this young lady shows her computer screen to show how views don't correlate to the amount of money. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4azCcsv-_oU

Why do you feel she deserves this much money? A lot of people would pay to take a vacation like this. If I could get someone to watch my farm for a season (or two) I'd be down there in a heartbeat.
There are other, much more detailed videos out there which delve deeper into what she makes (including stats on who watches her videos) if you look for them. Unfortunately these are all You-Tube videos so they should probably not be trusted since they are profit driven. I do not understand how an inaccurate video would be worth more (or less) though. It seems to me that any video on the subject of what she earns would be worth more if it were accurate and less if inaccurate.
I am unaware of any communally, Church/religious, non-profit produced videos on the subject of her income. I trust non-profit videos. People who don't enjoy profit are always trustworthy. :thumb:
Since she is able to jettison her bikes at the end of each vacation, I'd guess that she's doing quite well. That is however, just my opinion. I have didn't earn a Red cent coming up with it so take it for what it's worth.

I feel she deserves the supposed income because she is putting out content that rivals anything Hollywood puts out.
Go for it. Life is too short. It is very easy to make excuses for what you are not doing.
Also, no one know exactly what a youtuber makes other than Google and the owner of the channel. Those 3rd party channels that purport to know what she makes are just guessing.
Not sure why you feel the need to bring in subjects not to be talked about in your post, but whatever.
Which bikes did she jettison?
Bike #1 was ridden from India back to the Netherlands. She couldn't register it in her name, so the Royal Enfield importer traded her a new Himalayan (Bike #2) for her bike with everything still on it to use to market their bikes.
Bike #2 was shipped to South America where it had to be abandoned when the world shut down. By the time she was able to get it shipped home it was in bad shape.
Before she was able to get bike #2 home she bought the used Honda 500 (Bike #3).
Bike #3 was used to ride around the Netherlands, Iceland, and as many northwest countries as she was allowed to enter. She realized that it would not be a good bike to ride in Southern Africa so it got parked.
Bike #4 was a used Honda 250 bought in South Africa and pretty much destroyed during the Rally so it is now housed in a museum in South Africa.
Bike #5 is the current Honda 300 Rally that she is riding.
I don't see that any bikes were jettisoned.
Let's guestimate how much she spent on bikes so far in US dollars.
Bike #1 maybe $2500 bought in India.
Bike #2 traded even for Bike #1.
Bike #3 maybe $3000 for a used Honda 500.
Bike #4 hopefully not more than $3000.
Bike #5 sell for $6000 in the US.
So under $15k in motorcycles. Way less than many on this forum have in bikes. LOL!

She has said this is her job. She does her own filming and edits on the road. If you have ever tried to put together a video of a ride with music you know it's not simple plus she's putting out content two or three times a week . Her Youtube's support her travels, good for her that she can do it.
-
That old railroad turned into a multi-use road was impressive. I wish I could ride my bike on the rails to trails around the US.
All the rail to trails I have come across in my travels is what has me looking at EV assist bicycles.
Her choice in music at that crossing really added to the drama.
-
I wonder how she took the drone shots of her crossing the old railraod bridge? An amazing young lady.

At about 11:32 in the video of her on the bridge you can see the drone controller on her tank bag. The drone is already over the canyon pointing at the bridge. She probably makes minor adjustments as she progresses. Quite the multitasker. Whew!
-
You can put the drone on 'follow me' mode to achieve the same outcome, but she has previousley said that she uses manual controle only.
-
This girl is fearless. I've watched all her youtubes and her ability to "git 'er done" is second to no one I know of.

She just took "Alaska" on a little boat ride adventure.
