    Hi guys!! I'm sure you are all wondering about the fate of the fly! Well I never could catch him so he is still living out his days a free fly. Also, I misspoke about my car problems (tons of people are saying it's my transmission). It's not really struggling with shifting. The problem is power. It just doesn't have enough power. It was slowing down to 35mph (at its worst) going up the mountains. And I was carrying 500lbs+ of my stuff. The shifting is fine. I'm sure anyone who owns a tiny saturn will understand they are not powerful engines :) By the way, I made it!!! Thank you everyone for your kind comments and support it means a lot!!

    You can try shifting into a lower gear. It may help going uphill by giving you more power. Watch the RPMs, though; don't let it climb too high - you don't want to shift too low at high speed, or your engine could go BOOM!

Isn’t it amazing the ripple effect of inspiration you’re giving thousands of people! Exciting!.. Watching your first 2 trip videos has been a nice evening dinner break for me. Made me feel old at 42 tho, almost afraid to watch that 61 year old man flirt with you. Maybe tomorrow. Oh well, i feel young! You remind me how much I want to find friends that are present. I think your upbringing makes you appreciate certain interesting details. I remember being young and thinking oder friends are interesting, and now i guess i’ll start being that older friend...

    I think people don’t watch your videos because they want to see high quality 4k filmed videos, I think they watch it because the quality in the video is you. And its something beautiful and rare nowadays to see such an honest and lovely person doing videos about life and herself. Her true self, and not the one she wants to be. I hope you stick with your roots, you don’t need a quality camera because you have a quality character.

    Rob Diaz You have nothing to lose! I was pretty much crippled by that crap earlier in my life, now I just keep asking myself time and time again: what the hell can happen? pfff.. If I thin I lost on all layers, I might as well just enjoy myself and do whatever I like best in life. I started playing guitar, learn alot of various things and do arts and that got me out of it. It does come back from time to time, but it's rare and passes fast. If I did it, you can do it. ask yourself what you are really afraid of and the more you desolve it, the more you see it was reallly nothing after all. most importantly: take your time.. nothing happens over night.

The way you explain your inner world and take us along on your journey make me feel similar to when I'm reading good a book. I feel empathy when I hear about your experiences and it's just nice to hear from you and see whats happening. I hope you all the best! Greeting from Finland

    you're the only other person I ever saw using the heat to cool the engine! I turn the heat on to keep the engine from overheating too! I drive a Ford Focus to my job ( I drive truck up North in the winter time hauling water to work camps.) I live in Eastern Canada and drive to Northern Alberta every fall and then back East every Spring. I've driven across Canada about 16 times now and I always use the heater to keep the engine cool. Driving alone can get to ya but always remember, we came into this wacky experience called "Life" alone and whether there are people with us or not, all we can really do to be safe is trust our instincts.

    I love it the way it is so far... I don't think it's wise to suddenly transform with big changes overnight anyway, but rather small steps just a little bit outside of your comfort zone that you can tolerate is much more sensible and healthy. As I said, it's so refreshing to see such authenticity... It's like I'm with you on the journey, every joy, every struggle, every lesson. And it's cool that I genuinely see that I can learn from this both practically and psychologically, even philosophically and spiritually at times too. I prefer that over mostly "flashing lights" and "bells and whistles". Character and substance first before show and style I say, because I think it instills more reasonableness in people in general. I wish you the best and beyond, and hope you continue to build character and to learn and grow stronger on your adventures and the discoveries you experience!

    Myra, just so you know, there is something you can do to help cool your engine when driving uphill in the mountains. Get off the road and stop somewhere if the engine is overheating. Keep the engine running, roll down the windows, shut off air conditioning, turn your interior car heater on "High" and get out of the car. Let the car idle with the heater fan on maximum. Leave a door open if you want to let out more heat. Check under the hood for antifreeze leaks. Shut of the engine if there are leaks. The engine temperature should drop back to normal after 10 to 15 minutes. If possible you might avoid a hot engine by going to a car wash, opne the hood and spray hot soapy water through the radiator from the engine side, being careful not to touch the radiator fins with the spray nozzel. Radiator fins are delicate and bend easily. Try to avoid damage to the fins. Bugs, flies and dirt can clog up the radiator preventing proper cooling to the engine. So a clean radiator will allow the engine to run cooler. Good luck my dear lady.

From meeting all these wonderful people in unusual places, eating some seriously great food to being face to face with a rattlesnake and ABSOLUTELY PISSING MYSELF. I encountered American cultures I never knew existed, like the Texas-Germans. The American Amish in Mexico. etc etc etc. I loved it. I can't wait to go back to this life style. Never cease to explore.

    You are truly one of the most beautiful human being some ever met in my whole entire life. If you ever doubt that you’re not good enough, or ever doubt that no one cares about you. You are loved by so many. Love these positive and open videos that you do on KZread. And you don’t really truly see that from creators. You’re very real and very honest and on top of that beautiful inside and out. I pray for you every day and I hope you continue sharing your journey here on KZread. You’re inspiring so many individuals including myself. ❤️❤️❤️much love from Oklahoma

    Yeehaw, "Ginger-jellyfish-unicorn-pizza" made it through the mountains. woot woot... I am very excited for the authentic community you are about to gather and grow. Authenticity never gets old, anytime you jump on it, its headed to catharsis. :D By now, I have a feeling that you are gladly already conscious of the mythology you are experiencing. Your own mythology: "Myra's Mythology!" Marvelous marbles mildly. Keep shinning bright, you beacon of light. Your light is much appreciated. Safe travels Myra.

    Myra- you're not a baby for stressing out driving, the state of your car makes a huge difference in the ability to enjoy your trip! Says the girl who's almost 30 and still doesn't have a car or a license...but still, I've been on a lot of trips, even in the Rockies and other mountains, and I'm dreaming of a car with smooth transmission and a working air conditioner. Peace of mind makes a difference. Love this small community, too, but I hope no matter how big this gets you reap some sort of emotional reward.

    Low gears help in mountain driving. When driving up a mountain, you can try shifting to a lower gear for more power (watch your RPMs though). When driving down a mountain, you can try shifting to a lower gear for more engine braking (it can save your brakes).

    I watched your video were you talked about the fact that you don't have many friends. I watched and I could relate so much, I instantly subscribed. I don't have much friends either and I used to be really sad and lonely, especially now that we are all locked up in our homes. But, I realised I needed a creative outlet, and I started a youtube channel. I talk to myself and I used to think its really weird but I realized that a lot of people do it too and its completely normal. I even have a playlist called " my imaginary friends" as a joke!😂 I feel better about nowadays. Thanks, if you have read this far!!

It is clear that you have a tremendous ability to convey a considerable degree of authenticity. You have a lot of support from around the world. Some of us aren't even in America and we're wishing you well. It is great for us to be able to see a side of America many of us seldom see. Take care and stay safe. :)

    Truly love how down to earth you are and how much of a free spirit you are. I truly admire and respect that. Honestly, I love watching your content and your rambling session because it truly feels like listening to a close friend talking about her day and what's going through her head at that moment in time(if that makes sense), and I really personally enjoy that. It's like you're here with me interacting with me honestly. So in saying that, I personally feel like you deserve all the love and notice you have gotten so far and will continue to get because your soul is truly beautiful and graceful. I truly admire that style of content you make and I hope you don't feel the pressure because your content is different from what is expected because you attract those that enjoy what you enjoy. So keep at it Myra.

    Ginger don’t apologize for the quality of your video. To me it’ reveals how authentic you are. If I could offer you a little advice it would be to not get caught up in the number of subscribers or relationships you have . The quality of them is much more important. Just keep being yourself. You are a breath of fresh air. . 😊 Safe travels!

We would never do driving like that in Ireland, these videos have your own quirke on them, they have their own rawness if you like and you should get so many more followers, because you deserve them, if your videos were not good, they would not have as many followers, should be really proud of what you've achieved up to now, all coming good for you now, take care and safe trip.

    Ginger-Pizza-Unicorn? Your video quality is fine and the natural progression of experience is that you're likely to learn and improve. What you accomplish with such a simple set-up (and solo!) is impressive, and speaks to a degree of dedication and hard work. I think many of us appreciate your sincere, down-to-earth character, and unique sense of humor. Your experience with the transition to dry is normal. I'm a born and raised desert rat; you almost came through my neck of the, well... desert! Anytime I return from a less-dry environment I go through the same adjustment curve. Mostly, I think desert residents drink lots of water to cope. I think living in spite of our fears and embracing the challenges of life on our journey of self-discovery and improvement is commendable. What you're doing is far from simple or easy. Hang in there and stay alert on the road!
