This is an important milestone for me: reaching Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia. I was keeping my fingers crossed this day, hoping for a day without any problems (unlike the three episodes before this, when I had fuel problems, a mudpit of doom and a flat tyre)...

Itβs been almost eight months since I started watching her, and every one of her videos has been extremely entertaining. I donβt know how she does it.
The reason there are so many Toyota Prius in Ulaanbaatar is due to exceptional fuel efficiency for a city with heavy traffic, and reliability in extreme cold starting at - 35 celsius and colder.... The Prius has a reputation for starting reliably in extreme temperatures, often outperforming diesel vehicles, which is crucial in Mongolia's winter.
Mongolians love Prius because itβs fuel efficient and have no problem starting at -35c.
The video was 2 minutes old, and 5000 people already were watching it! Glad Franke got a spa day.
Iβve learned more about different cultures, people, history, and geography from Noralyβs videos than I did in 20 years of schooling. Her content is not only engaging but deeply educational, offering real insight into the world in a way few platforms can match. Without a doubt, this is the best travel blog out thereβan exceptional resource for anyone curious about the world.
I love this Woman. She is simply magical... Too many great qualities to mention. The best, for me, is her never-ending source of optimism. Negativity is simply not acceptable in Noraly's World, and fortunately, the Universe always reinforces her Optimism. She has no time for wasting.
Nothing makes my motorcycling day better than watching Noraly's latest episodes then discussing it with my old friends over coffee and a ride. When I rode solo on my DR650 in Outback Australia, an old German guy and his wife walked up to me as I was saddling up and said, "Do you watch Itchy Boots?". We bonded. Different people from different countries talking about Noraly. Best Youtube entertainment in the world....
Noraly, the way you navigate traffic in foreign countries, and the relaxed way you do it - - will always amaze me!
Finding ones car in a large parking lot in Ulan Baataar is a nightmareπ
Hello Noraly fans all over the globe. Sunny greetings from Germany to you all.
3:04 I once saw several large birds alight on a fence rail at the top of a steep hill I was struggling up on my bicycle. I soon realized they were vultures, taking bets on whether I would make the climb or become lunch!
Ulaanbaatar, the coldest capital in the world, is the most reliable Japanese car, the Prius, which starts up quickly at -40Β°C.
Hey Itchy Family good morning wherever you are. Watching from Canada π¨π¦π
A cool ride thru Priusville and a cliffhanger! Canβt wait!
The large, trumpeting flock of birds in the sky, those were cranesβin Asia, it is said they bring luck. Thank you for taking us along.
I rode from the UK to Ulaanbaatar in 2011. I cannot believe how much itβs changed and how easy it is to get there today. Back then (time flies!) none if this was there and βmain roadβ was in parts only. I was greeted by piles of trash either side of the roads. The smog and dust was thick. It literally was a different place! It definitely wasnβt what I expected!
βI donβt need no drama today β - good T-shirt for you Noraly.
The only Good activity on Sunday is to watch herβ€
I feel so happy and proud to see you traveling through my home country, Mongolia! Thank you for showcasing the beauty of my homeland to the whole world. Since I live abroad, I miss my country so much, and watching your videos is a truly healing experience for meβit feels as if Iβve returned home for a moment. I hope you continue to travel to many more beautiful places, encounter amazing things, and keep warming the hearts of people all over the world with your journeys. Safe travels, wherever you are! β€
Happy that you get to spend some time in the civilization Noraly. I've been going through an illness and have been a bit more emotional than usual. Watching you ride through the deserted parts of Mongolia and encountering so many challenges hasn't been easy for me. You're an incredibly strong person, thank you for showing us the world.
