Learning Stuff From Itchy Boots - You?

Aside from admiring Noraly's bravery, confidence, and smarts, and being inspired by her - I really appreciate how she teaches me so many things over the course of her videos/seasons. I learn stuff from her, and I love that.

So, thinking that some of y'all might learn cool stuff from her videos, too, I thought I would share a few things and then see what, if anything, you would add to the list.

Here goes:

  1. How fast terrain and landscapes can change in a big way. Saw this again in one of her recent rides in Turkey,

  2. No matter where you go, soup and bread is really popular. Also, versions of tacos or burritos or wraps. Caffeinated beverages.

  3. So many apartment complexes look remarkably similar, as do many highways, regardless of the continent. Highways with white stripes dividing lanes; similar overhanging rectangular signs, etc.

  4. The prevalence of English-speaking people, even in the most remote areas. (Thinking Africa season, for instance.)

  5. More stuff about motorbikes than I can list. (Not being a rider, this is a very very big list.)

  6. Ditto, geology.

So happy for the new season, and praying for Noraly to stay safe! I know she's brilliant and precisely plans her travels, but wow. Looking at the map, wow.
