I’ll admit, I don’t watch much traditional TV programming any longer, but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing good on. There’s a lot of terrific YouTube channels out there, and I’d like to recommend my favorite:
Noraly Schoenmaker is a thirtysomething Dutch woman who travels around the world solo by motorcycle. Her current journey targets the Middle East and it’s amazing.
Targeting more rural routes, as opposed to big cities, she encounters sights and cultures that few Westerners are exposed to. There are wonders aplenty, not the least of which is Schoenmaker’s indomitable good cheer and resourcefulness in the face of adversity (of which there is no shortage), and the kindness and decency of almost everyone she runs into.
This is truly great stuff, and I can’t recommend the channel highly enough.
