There are so many different subgenres of motorcycle enthusiasts. But still, chances are excellent that if you chat with anyone who's at all interested in watching motorcycle travel vloggers on YouTube, the subject of Itchy Boots will come up.
It's the long-term project of Noraly Schoenmaker, an ADV rider from Holland, and she's been out traveling the world for years on various motorcycles, meticulously recording her adventures with action cameras and drones, and then editing the footage to share on her YouTube channel. It's safe to say she's an inspiration to many of us, for so many reasons. Not the least of which is that she's out there grabbing life by the handlebars and experiencing some of the best things the world has to offer.
As for the book, Free Ride, it's something she wrote while she was recovering from injury. As she tells it, it's something she'd been meaning to do for some time, but just never had the time to do it while she was on the road. Like most people who find themselves injured, she suddenly had a lot of free time on her hands since she couldn't ride her bike. So, she finally started writing out her memoir of how this entire crazy journey started in the first place.
