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!
I’ll cheat and reply here (shh) better chance for you to read this. It’s amazing how popular you’re so quickly. 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.
110% You nailed it, Dave. Good luck on your adventures ducky, you're a pure soul in a world full of plastic. Also, you could film on a potato and we would all still watch it. Much Love!
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.
Come on Rob Diaz, you can do the same man, you are talking like you are on the end of your life.........over 30?? Make something of your life my friend!! And don't forget to enjoy the the time that you get.........don't rely on others, but try to take control of your own life
I hope this helps you. I dont talk about my depression and anxiety at all. You are braver and tougher then me. There are so many people behind you. Think of an imaginary hug from all of us subscribers. Please have fun. You've earned it.
EXACTLY! it was her awesome personality that was already there, that brought in literally millions of views. Too many people CHANGE after they hit success.. Its real people like Myra we love to see. from her first video where she said she had no friends. people flooded in from THERE...
I've really enjoyed watching your journey, I'm from Minnesota so it's kinda fun knowing we're from the same general region. Don't worry about only having your cell phone, I love that your videos aren't a huge production, you stay real and raw and don't shout at us every 10 seconds like a lot of really popular vloggers. Wish you the best on the rest of your journey! What an incredible move to make.
Here is a secret about the negative comments about quality and whatnot: they are never happy with anything. Don't bother trying to make them happy, because it's a losing battle. I love the videos, you rock!!
This is beautiful. As an anxiety-riddled 23-year-old with little social life and feeling quite lost, I identify with a lot of your videos. I've been across Canada 3 times now and fell in love with The West. I hope to return in the next couple months and resume life in Vancouver.
Sadly I'm in the UK 🇬🇧 but if she ever comes to the uk I would offer to help her in anyways she needed. But yes im sure she would use her common sense to contact females on here for help if she needed , rather than the guys incase they were perverts or predators.
Be safe, take a lot of breaks. I did the same trip a few years ago and had a lot of fun. Remember to pull over when feeling sleep. Use apps like yelp to find good places to eat. Most importantly. Remember to have fun.
I like the energy in your videos. You don't need to be "energetic" and have a super good camera. You're so likeable as you are and I think what's great about your videos is that you manage to show a side of being human that is not shared so easily or often on video. 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
It is actually so encouraging watching you on your adventure trip into a new start of your life. Literally by changing your place of living and being challenged on this long drive with a less reliable car. Best of luck and all good wishes from Germany!!! Thanks for sharing - take care!!! 👍🏼
I actually think that the quality of your videos and the way you edit them and record them in general could become your trademark, your distinctive sign. Thanks for documentating your journey, great video!! I love your style!!! Ginger!!!!
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 stay genuine as you make your video's. That's what makes them unique and shows the real you. So please don't apologize for who you are. I hope your trip goes well.
As a European it always absolutely amazes me how big America actually is. I feel like its hard for me to get a full sence of the distance traveled because our countries are so small in comparison! If I were to go on a simular roadtrip as your on right now, it would take me out of the entire continent! That's insane, isn't it?! Much love from the Netherlands! P.S. Ginger! =)
I have done that trip so often through Nebraska and Colorado, I knew exactly where u were as you were filming. Im glad you are facing your anxiety and doing it. I read the book DARE from Amazon about anxiety and it worked well for me. You got this! Thanks for narrating your journey😁😁😁
This is a little adventure for us! We get to witness your journey, or part of it, and I love it because we learn so much from listening to other people's adventures and experiences, even the little details where you feel like you're rumbling about something, that's really where things get so interesting because people relate and feel a connection. I just love that you're so genuine and appreciate that sooooo much!
Ginger. I think you have so many followers because you’re so normal, honest, easy to listen to / somehow you capture the audience in the simplicity of delivery by just being yourself. Hope your car makes it through; I think you’re great!
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.
People don't subscribe because they expect you to have a kicking soundtrack or a camera crew. You are unafraid to be yourself, Myra, to be honest and raw and unflinching in the search for authenticity and I think that should be admired and that we need to see more of that in the world today.
You are just the sweetest Simply amazing ☺️I relate a lot to some things you’ve talked about. I’m glad I can watch you and have somewhat of a bond of just understanding and relating. thank you so much for sharing !
Dear Myra, you have nothing to apologize for. Your videos are a breath of fresh air. Your style is original and I love it. Everything is authentic and I think that's what we all need. Today's videos are so stylized that they lose their originality. They all look the same. Thank you very much for your content. GINGER 💚
Good luck and safe travel during this last part of your journey Myra. I think that it was the right call to be cautious and throw off the extra load/ take a break at the hotel(the view is indeed calm and pittoresque).I am sure that you'll get along very well with your roomate and eventually find a job that suits you in California. Glad to see that you did not let that pre-departure anxiety change your decisions and plans and that you went through this big move very well until now. This will more than likely be a story and achievement that you'll be happy and proud about. Best of luck, ginger.
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.
Ginger :D i see all of yours videos and i was thinking what to write to you and the awesome guys right here. :D I'm 25 and i have depression for like 11 years. It sucks especially if you have no friends (but my family is awesome and very supportive) Anyway - some day i was on YT and nothing to watch so i clicked on recommended video called "Im 22 yrs old and i have no friends" and the video changed my life. I was thinking - there is someone out there who is just like me, with the same problems and 0 friends. Long story short from that time i watch all your videos and right now you are my favourite "influencer" on YT. I am from Czech republic (basically half a world from you :D) and you gave me the inspiration for my dreamed trip to Santiago de Compostela in Spain - its very popular pilgrimage in Europe. I hope this trip can cure my depression or at least help me to forget my strugles. I wish you all good of this world especially the friends :) and im waiting for your next video. Bye or Čau in Czech :) P.S.: Try to translate my nickname :D
This is awesome! We are all wishing you safe travels, I feel like you are going to be there very soon and its going to be awesome! I hope that your car is doing okay , and This New Yorker is rooting for you!
I think your great Myra. Your relatable to people. I love that your adventurous. Your very chill and look like your one with nature and are free spirited. I admire you as a person.
I have to hand to you my dear. You have a lot of courage to do this youself. I am a guy and I could not imagine driving across Canada by myself. You go girl! Good on ya :-)
You have 80 k followers because of your sincerity, because of how open you talk about life and its dificulties and because you are allways trying to pass a positive message, even if life is not easy on you. Good job, Myra! I'm cheering for you!
You are so brave! I’m enjoying your journey a lot. This is a dream of mine to travel across country. Glad you stopped at motels and got some rest. Be safe!
lol, when you took the shot your reaction was so cute it made he laugh. You have 80k subscribers because real honesty and real innocence is rare in this time.
Keep going! I lived in a van for nearly 9 years and crisscrossed the western USA, Canada, and Mexico until recently. It was the best years of my life. I saw and experienced so many things in that time. 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.
Scared the crap out of me when you went to sleep in your car in the middle of no where and the video ended. So happy to see that you are ok Ginger! Cali or Bust!
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.
Myra, you may need to add some transmission fluid. I know that when my jeep starts having trouble shifting that's the problem. They'll be knocking when it shifts like it didn't shift smoothly. I have a really slow transmission fluid leak. Hopefully, it's not a larger problem. Praying for a safe trip. You have so many followers because your real, honest. With so much craziness in the world right now, your a breath of fresh air! Tip.. a lot of the tap water going across the country is disgusting. :)
Myra, you are an adorably genuine and inspirational young woman. I find your video's to be relaxing and in the moment. I love the fact that you can share so much when feeling so vulnerable. There is so much strength in that ability. I am 54 and you have inspired me to travel solo across the country. I have been wanting to do this for years and continually back out. I have a feeling there will be much gained on your trip, and look forward to watching your experience.
Good luck on the rest of your journey Myra, I hope the rest goes just as well for you.. love from Belfast, Northern Ireland... keep those Unicorns in your heart! (GINGER)
Being a nomad is a very empowering feeling. In my 20's I used to live out of my truck and any room I rented was filled with only the stuff I kept in the back seat I slept on a blow up mattress for over a year. Great times
Myra... I live in Boulder, and am a Boulder native!!! I think you've already left. (?). I was going to invite you to coffee. Boulder is an AMAZING city!
It is the rawness of your video that people love the most. That in itself is way way way more valuable than all the editing skills in the world. Keep doing you! Safe journeys!!
There are an abundance of reasons to celebrate. If we stop taking things for granted then every moment presents an opportunity to celebrate. In the long run followers and social media likes means very little. Just be happy, life could be all about that if one choose it. Keep safe, Myra!
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).
Ginger. Stay safe and alert Myra; and have lots of fun. Thanks for showing us your adventure. It is really fun to watch and unwind. I’ve always wanted to go on a road trip. You are so brave for doing this alone. Please be safe sleeping in your car. I was a bit nervous for you after watching your previous road trip video. I’m happy to see you reporting in from a hotel. Stay wonderful... you have many fans who adore you :)
You are a breath of fresh air. I feel so proud and happy for you, for doing this as it is a big undertaking and challenge. And 'YOU' are making it happen. There are times when you share you are completely 'Bricking it' (as we say when 'scared' in the UK) ..however you don't give up. You work through it. Love it. When you look through the comments and see the support, happiness and people who want you to succeed ... well that is wonderful to see. Tfs
Yes, you absolutely have support here in California, we are with you 100%, I've never experience RUclips this way before, taking a journey with someone as an observer, but you make every second of the experience captivating. Looking forward to the videos to come, and don't worry, the quality is great. As just one subscriber of the 80-thousand+ to come, I am proud to be in the Myra collective. Ginger!!
I’d say celebrate your brave, wonderful journey across America! Your insightful analysis of life is awesome... and a comfort to everyone I’d say. That’s why you have so many likes and followers... you have a gift for sharing. So thanks! And here’s sending hopes of good luck on your trip to California! I’ve taken many such trips when I was young... driving in old cars, following a dream. I think it’s a marvelous journey you’re on and I’ll be checking in to keep up with your adventure.
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!
Grand Junction always reminds me of those old western scenes of sweat drenched cowboys with soaked through hats n bandanas, hahaha. Great shots going up Vail pass and through Glenwood canyon, btw. Cheers :-)
Ginger I really do love driving. I can only imagine the kind of scenary you have gotten to see. Especially here in the UK, driving through the countryside and along coastlines is just so relaxing.
Ginger. I appreciate your candor about what you are feeling in that moment. I drove with my brother from DC to Phoenix, so I know a little about what you are feeling, but you definitely are courageous in going solo. Stay safe and safe travels. You got this!
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.
Your honesty, authenticity and vulnerability is what makes connect with you so much! And I like the fact you don't have a glossy camera and perfect audio. This feels more real to me personaly. Ginger! :)
Myra, I'm sure many will agree with me when I say there is no need to apologize for the quality of the vids. 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. :)
Have fought against it but I cant deny , I find myself genuinely concerned for your welfare as you travel to your new home!! Who says you are weak or whatever....most following you (including myself) would not have the guts to do a trip of this magnitude , especially solo!! Hope things stay on the right side of tolerable or even better for the rest of the trip....take care and be safe Myra!
Thanks for just filming and being yourself. It makes you so real and let’s me think I’m there myself. The quality and. honesty is the reason I subscribed ❤️
Do this every day as a truck driver, usually driving about 600 miles per day. And I own my truck, so I definitely relate to the anxiety in the mountains that something is going to break at any second!
Ginger I hope you are enjoying your adventure. I really enjoy how genuine your videos are. You keep apologizing for not having better equipment, but honestly.... you don't need it. You're doing great!
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!!
Ginger! Cheers, I'll make myself a ginger drink too and drink it too naturally. You did good job these past few days, stay strong, you can do this. P.S. No MERCY to that fly
I watch your videos not for the recording quality, but for the quality of the content. You are a strong, brave, smart and genuine person, and you add so much to this world. Also, the quality of the recording is very good as well. The skies are so amazing! The best part of getting over a mountain is looking back and thinking, "I got over that mountain." Believe it or not, but you can do anything... also, ginger.. stay safe and happy travels! looking forward to day 4...
This trip is very exciting .. I’ve always loved road trips (the longer the better) there’s just something about it that lightens me up. Sometimes when I have a bad day I just go for a ride. By the way I love driving in the desert here in the outskirts of Cairo. Ginger 😃 .. stay safe Myra
TOTALLY ORIGINAL YOU!!!!....U R GREAT UNIQUE AND REALLY REALLY SPECIAL. YOU REMIND ME OF MY LONELY DAYS AND THATS THE BEST PART IN ONES LIFE BECAUSE U FIND URSELF AND LOVE URSELF, KEEP IT UP!!!😉
Ginger!! You are actually very brave Myra, going through all that driving, amazing, 33 hours to get to where you'll start a new life, so amazing. 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.
You are smart and brave. The way you approach failure (?), fear and pain in public feels honest and therapeutic. And mature. The music and overall feel of your videos are amazing. I really wish you good. And I really hope you don’t feel obliged to keep up to expectations of subscribers. Stay real! GINGER
Idk, there's something about how down to earth your videos come across that is way more interesting than youtubers with super high quality of production. Keep it going, best of luck on the rest of your trip!
It's all downhill from here. Keep imagining the relief when you get there and how you will sleep twelve hours straight then wake feeling great - hold that thought picture in you mind. Stay calm - breath - you're almost home.

By the way, I made it!!!
Thank you everyone for your kind comments and support it means a lot!!
Myra West Glad you made it.
It's good the fly gets to continue his or her journey as well. Making that drive is no small accomplishment. Congratulations!
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!

@@bobbarker3248 Another issue is the thin air. Assuming it's a naturally aspirated engine, it will lose power at higher altitudes.
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.
110% You nailed it, Dave. Good luck on your adventures ducky, you're a pure soul in a world full of plastic. Also, you could film on a potato and we would all still watch it. Much Love!
True
David Metzger, that was well said.My feelings exactly.
that is so lovely and true xx what a natural beauty inside and out x
I second that!
Shes so therapeutic to watch and listen to xx
Thank God I'm not the only one, these vids are calming to me.
My anxiety is kicking in so Im watching like a parent now...PLEASE STAY SAFE!
I'm almost 30 and anxiety has taken so much away from me. It makes me happy to see other people living and taking control of their life.
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.
Same here bro!
Come on Rob Diaz, you can do the same man, you are talking like you are on the end of your life.........over 30??
Make something of your life my friend!!
And don't forget to enjoy the the time that you get.........don't rely on others, but try to take control of your own life
I hope this helps you. I dont talk about my depression and anxiety at all. You are braver and tougher then me. There are so many people behind you. Think of an imaginary hug from all of us subscribers. Please have fun. You've earned it.
❤❤❤
Iam literally almost crying from reading that😭
You are honestly the sweetest person. Don’t worry about video quality and all that. You are perfect as you are ❤️ don’t change
EXACTLY! it was her awesome personality that was already there, that brought in literally millions of views. Too many people CHANGE after they hit success.. Its real people like Myra we love to see. from her first video where she said she had no friends. people flooded in from THERE...
I've really enjoyed watching your journey, I'm from Minnesota so it's kinda fun knowing we're from the same general region. Don't worry about only having your cell phone, I love that your videos aren't a huge production, you stay real and raw and don't shout at us every 10 seconds like a lot of really popular vloggers. Wish you the best on the rest of your journey! What an incredible move to make.
Here is a secret about the negative comments about quality and whatnot: they are never happy with anything. Don't bother trying to make them happy, because it's a losing battle. I love the videos, you rock!!
This is like an adventure for all of us 😌
right! it really is, i love it lol
Yeah i feel it❣️
especially in this times ♡
Exactly, something i wanted to do so badly - now i have a child, guess he is going to be my best travel partner.
So proud of you for overcoming your fear of driving your car through the mountains!! You're courage helps and encourages us!
This is beautiful. As an anxiety-riddled 23-year-old with little social life and feeling quite lost, I identify with a lot of your videos.
I've been across Canada 3 times now and fell in love with The West. I hope to return in the next couple months and resume life in Vancouver.
Yep you are not alone without friends anymore 🙂 you have a support network in the thousands now xx
Sadly I'm in the UK 🇬🇧 but if she ever comes to the uk I would offer to help her in anyways she needed. But yes im sure she would use her common sense to contact females on here for help if she needed , rather than the guys incase they were perverts or predators.
Be safe, take a lot of breaks. I did the same trip a few years ago and had a lot of fun. Remember to pull over when feeling sleep. Use apps like yelp to find good places to eat. Most importantly. Remember to have fun.
Roger from England here . Was a bit worried about you as you were just about to sleep in your car . Thanks for posting .
Roger from England...
Yoda from outta space..
Not Birmingham
I love that you’re doing this!!!
I like the energy in your videos. You don't need to be "energetic" and have a super good camera. You're so likeable as you are and I think what's great about your videos is that you manage to show a side of being human that is not shared so easily or often on video. 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
It is actually so encouraging watching you on your adventure trip into a new start of your life.
Literally by changing your place of living and being challenged on this long drive with a less reliable car.
Best of luck and all good wishes from Germany!!!
Thanks for sharing - take care!!! 👍🏼
Ginger isn't my favorite. I'm in Ohio and it seems like all the healthy stuff includes ginger. Hope your car makes it.
I actually think that the quality of your videos and the way you edit them and record them in general could become your trademark, your distinctive sign. Thanks for documentating your journey, great video!! I love your style!!! Ginger!!!!
This is my new favourite RUclips series ☺️☺️ ginger🧡
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 stay genuine as you make your video's. That's what makes them unique and shows the real you. So please don't apologize for who you are. I hope your trip goes well.
As a European it always absolutely amazes me how big America actually is. I feel like its hard for me to get a full sence of the distance traveled because our countries are so small in comparison! If I were to go on a simular roadtrip as your on right now, it would take me out of the entire continent! That's insane, isn't it?!
Much love from the Netherlands!
P.S. Ginger! =)
Wow that's crazy!
I have done that trip so often through Nebraska and Colorado, I knew exactly where u were as you were filming. Im glad you are facing your anxiety and doing it. I read the book DARE from Amazon about anxiety and it worked well for me. You got this! Thanks for narrating your journey😁😁😁
This is a little adventure for us! We get to witness your journey, or part of it, and I love it because we learn so much from listening to other people's adventures and experiences, even the little details where you feel like you're rumbling about something, that's really where things get so interesting because people relate and feel a connection. I just love that you're so genuine and appreciate that sooooo much!
I saw that video where you were interviewed. It was really good! We do need more people to be honest on RUclips.
I loved that video, not that anyone likes to see someone upset, but so many people can relate, and all the support Myra got was really nice to see
@@turn1210 Yes agree!
Ginger. I think you have so many followers because you’re so normal, honest, easy to listen to / somehow you capture the audience in the simplicity of delivery by just being yourself. Hope your car makes it through; I think you’re great!
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.
People don't subscribe because they expect you to have a kicking soundtrack or a camera crew. You are unafraid to be yourself, Myra, to be honest and raw and unflinching in the search for authenticity and I think that should be admired and that we need to see more of that in the world today.
"he will die by the end of the night" must be the funniest thing anyone has ever said to a fly! ginger!
Myra you are honestly a breath of fresh air from the attention seeking creators of RUclips.
You are so real.
May God have mercies on your travels
You are just the sweetest Simply amazing ☺️I relate a lot to some things you’ve talked about. I’m glad I can watch you and have somewhat of a bond of just understanding and relating. thank you so much for sharing !
Dear Myra, you have nothing to apologize for. Your videos are a breath of fresh air. Your style is original and I love it. Everything is authentic and I think that's what we all need. Today's videos are so stylized that they lose their originality. They all look the same. Thank you very much for your content.
GINGER
💚
Ginger! I can't wait to see more of your journey and I'm proud of you for taking on this gigantic feat!
Good luck and safe travel during this last part of your journey Myra. I think that it was the right call to be cautious and throw off the extra load/ take a break at the hotel(the view is indeed calm and pittoresque).I am sure that you'll get along very well with your roomate and eventually find a job that suits you in California. Glad to see that you did not let that pre-departure anxiety change your decisions and plans and that you went through this big move very well until now. This will more than likely be a story and achievement that you'll be happy and proud about. Best of luck, ginger.
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.
Ginger :D i see all of yours videos and i was thinking what to write to you and the awesome guys right here. :D I'm 25 and i have depression for like 11 years. It sucks especially if you have no friends (but my family is awesome and very supportive) Anyway - some day i was on YT and nothing to watch so i clicked on recommended video called "Im 22 yrs old and i have no friends" and the video changed my life. I was thinking - there is someone out there who is just like me, with the same problems and 0 friends. Long story short from that time i watch all your videos and right now you are my favourite "influencer" on YT. I am from Czech republic (basically half a world from you :D) and you gave me the inspiration for my dreamed trip to Santiago de Compostela in Spain - its very popular pilgrimage in Europe. I hope this trip can cure my depression or at least help me to forget my strugles. I wish you all good of this world especially the friends :) and im waiting for your next video. Bye or Čau in Czech :) P.S.: Try to translate my nickname :D
This is awesome! We are all wishing you safe travels, I feel like you are going to be there very soon and its going to be awesome! I hope that your car is doing okay , and This New Yorker is rooting for you!
I think your great Myra. Your relatable to people. I love that your adventurous. Your very chill and look like your one with nature and are free spirited. I admire you as a person.
I have to hand to you my dear. You have a lot of courage to do this youself. I am a guy and I could not imagine driving across Canada by myself. You go girl! Good on ya :-)
You have 80 k followers because of your sincerity, because of how open you talk about life and its dificulties and because you are allways trying to pass a positive message, even if life is not easy on you. Good job, Myra! I'm cheering for you!
By the way, ginger. Talking about ginger, I really really love ginger alem, specially Canada Dry's!
You are so brave! I’m enjoying your journey a lot. This is a dream of mine to travel across country. Glad you stopped at motels and got some rest. Be safe!
lol, when you took the shot your reaction was so cute it made he laugh. You have 80k subscribers because real honesty and real innocence is rare in this time.
You give off such a calm and positive aura Myra. When you get settled in, you should really consider doing ASMR. Best of luck!!
The quality of you as a human being outweighs any video by other RUclipsrs. You are so genuine. We got your back.:) Thanks
I really want to do one of these
*Just Do It!*
Keep going! I lived in a van for nearly 9 years and crisscrossed the western USA, Canada, and Mexico until recently. It was the best years of my life. I saw and experienced so many things in that time. 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.
Scared the crap out of me when you went to sleep in your car in the middle of no where and the video ended. So happy to see that you are ok Ginger! Cali or Bust!
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.
Myra, you may need to add some transmission fluid. I know that when my jeep starts having trouble shifting that's the problem. They'll be knocking when it shifts like it didn't shift smoothly. I have a really slow transmission fluid leak. Hopefully, it's not a larger problem. Praying for a safe trip. You have so many followers because your real, honest. With so much craziness in the world right now, your a breath of fresh air! Tip.. a lot of the tap water going across the country is disgusting. :)
That is right! The car may also lose some of it when you drive up a hill too fast, and it overheats the transmission.
Myra, you are an adorably genuine and inspirational young woman. I find your video's to be relaxing and in the moment. I love the fact that you can share so much when feeling so vulnerable. There is so much strength in that ability. I am 54 and you have inspired me to travel solo across the country. I have been wanting to do this for years and continually back out. I have a feeling there will be much gained on your trip, and look forward to watching your experience.
Do it!!!
Good luck on the rest of your journey Myra, I hope the rest goes just as well for you.. love from Belfast, Northern Ireland... keep those Unicorns in your heart! (GINGER)
Being a nomad is a very empowering feeling. In my 20's I used to live out of my truck and any room I rented was filled with only the stuff I kept in the back seat I slept on a blow up mattress for over a year. Great times
Myra... I live in Boulder, and am a Boulder native!!! I think you've already left. (?). I was going to invite you to coffee. Boulder is an AMAZING city!
It is the rawness of your video that people love the most. That in itself is way way way more valuable than all the editing skills in the world. Keep doing you! Safe journeys!!
You're genuine and that's why you deserve it
There are an abundance of reasons to celebrate. If we stop taking things for granted then every moment presents an opportunity to celebrate. In the long run followers and social media likes means very little. Just be happy, life could be all about that if one choose it. Keep safe, Myra!
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).
Ginger. Stay safe and alert Myra; and have lots of fun. Thanks for showing us your adventure. It is really fun to watch and unwind. I’ve always wanted to go on a road trip. You are so brave for doing this alone. Please be safe sleeping in your car. I was a bit nervous for you after watching your previous road trip video.
I’m happy to see you reporting in from a hotel. Stay wonderful... you have many fans who adore you :)
Be safe when travelling. You never know what’s out there. Keep up the good content yet again 🤙🏽
You are a breath of fresh air. I feel so proud and happy for you, for doing this as it is a big undertaking and challenge. And 'YOU' are making it happen. There are times when you share you are completely 'Bricking it' (as we say when 'scared' in the UK) ..however you don't give up. You work through it. Love it. When you look through the comments and see the support, happiness and people who want you to succeed ... well that is wonderful to see. Tfs
"Don't think I'm having fun, this is not fun!" *cuts to extremely fun music*
That song choice was replacing my first song choice whitch I found out was copywrited
Yes, you absolutely have support here in California, we are with you 100%, I've never experience RUclips this way before, taking a journey with someone as an observer, but you make every second of the experience captivating. Looking forward to the videos to come, and don't worry, the quality is great. As just one subscriber of the 80-thousand+ to come, I am proud to be in the Myra collective.
Ginger!!
Awww ♡♡♡
Ginger. You should make a full documentary about this trip afterwards.
I'd love that too
I second that..
I third that
I'll fourth it!
I'll fifth that
I’d say celebrate your brave, wonderful journey across America! Your insightful analysis of life is awesome... and a comfort to everyone I’d say. That’s why you have so many likes and followers... you have a gift for sharing. So thanks! And here’s sending hopes of good luck on your trip to California! I’ve taken many such trips when I was young... driving in old cars, following a dream. I think it’s a marvelous journey you’re on and I’ll be checking in to keep up with your adventure.
Ginger from India
I love your honesty and practicality..
Love to watch more videos like this
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!
Grand Junction always reminds me of those old western scenes of sweat drenched cowboys with soaked through hats n bandanas, hahaha. Great shots going up Vail pass and through Glenwood canyon, btw. Cheers :-)
Ginger
I really do love driving. I can only imagine the kind of scenary you have gotten to see. Especially here in the UK, driving through the countryside and along coastlines is just so relaxing.
Can't help but sometimes think she's just a normal person in a warped world.
hundred percent
She really is special.
exactly
Aren't we all.
Ginger. I appreciate your candor about what you are feeling in that moment. I drove with my brother from DC to Phoenix, so I know a little about what you are feeling, but you definitely are courageous in going solo. Stay safe and safe travels. You got this!
Im glad that I found your RUclips channel, the first ever video I watched was the "21 year with no friends"
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.
Myra West is Awesome. A Legendary Girl who dared to face her demons like a Boss! 😎
Keep on moving forward #TeamMyraWest
Your honesty, authenticity and vulnerability is what makes connect with you so much!
And I like the fact you don't have a glossy camera and perfect audio. This feels more real to me personaly.
Ginger! :)
Good luck on the rest of your journey. I wish you well.
Myra, I'm sure many will agree with me when I say there is no need to apologize for the quality of the vids. 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. :)
Have fought against it but I cant deny , I find myself genuinely concerned for your welfare as you travel to your new home!!
Who says you are weak or whatever....most following you (including myself) would not have the guts to do a trip of this magnitude , especially solo!! Hope things stay on the right side of tolerable or even better for the rest of the trip....take care and be safe Myra!
Thanks for just filming and being yourself. It makes you so real and let’s me think I’m there myself. The quality and. honesty is the reason I subscribed ❤️
Definitely, a move like that is a big event in your life. It was for me! But you will GROW from it. And never regret it...
Do this every day as a truck driver, usually driving about 600 miles per day. And I own my truck, so I definitely relate to the anxiety in the mountains that something is going to break at any second!
You'd like my truck, though. Way better than a car. It's got a memory foam mattress, a fridge and microwave, and a 32 inch TV with Hulu and Netflix 👍
Ginger 🙂
Keep up the content!! You’re my favorite RUclipsr 🙂
Ginger
I hope you are enjoying your adventure. I really enjoy how genuine your videos are. You keep apologizing for not having better equipment, but honestly.... you don't need it. You're doing great!
You give hope, Myra.. keep continuing ur journey
You’re videos bring tears to my eyes. I love the music and the way you film your experiences. So happy to have found your channel last month
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!!
same here, i don't have friends and i usually talk to myself to keep me sane lol
@@buffycatnip LOL I think its very normal, lots of people do it!! We just get embarrassed for no reason!
ur so honest in ur vids, I really appreciate u being on youtube❤️
Ginger! Cheers, I'll make myself a ginger drink too and drink it too naturally. You did good job these past few days, stay strong, you can do this.
P.S. No MERCY to that fly
I watch your videos not for the recording quality, but for the quality of the content. You are a strong, brave, smart and genuine person, and you add so much to this world. Also, the quality of the recording is very good as well. The skies are so amazing! The best part of getting over a mountain is looking back and thinking, "I got over that mountain." Believe it or not, but you can do anything... also, ginger.. stay safe and happy travels! looking forward to day 4...
This trip is very exciting .. I’ve always loved road trips (the longer the better) there’s just something about it that lightens me up. Sometimes when I have a bad day I just go for a ride. By the way I love driving in the desert here in the outskirts of Cairo. Ginger 😃 .. stay safe Myra
TOTALLY ORIGINAL YOU!!!!....U R GREAT UNIQUE AND REALLY REALLY SPECIAL. YOU REMIND ME OF MY LONELY DAYS AND THATS THE BEST PART IN ONES LIFE BECAUSE U FIND URSELF AND LOVE URSELF, KEEP IT UP!!!😉
Safe travels Myra. I’m rooting for you!
Ginger!! You are actually very brave Myra, going through all that driving, amazing, 33 hours to get to where you'll start a new life, so amazing. 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.
Aw, you are more likeable than you think... celebrate YOU.
You are smart and brave. The way you approach failure (?), fear and pain in public feels honest and therapeutic. And mature. The music and overall feel of your videos are amazing.
I really wish you good. And I really hope you don’t feel obliged to keep up to expectations of subscribers. Stay real!
GINGER
Greetings from Finland 🇫🇮😍
Idk, there's something about how down to earth your videos come across that is way more interesting than youtubers with super high quality of production. Keep it going, best of luck on the rest of your trip!
i admire your courage to drive around on your own like this. Driving terrifies me :(
Fascinating. I can't explain why watching your little adventures is refreshing. Perhaps it is your realness. Thanks, anyway.
Ginger ☺️ can’t wait to see when you get there keep staying safe ✨
It's all downhill from here. Keep imagining the relief when you get there and how you will sleep twelve hours straight then wake feeling great - hold that thought picture in you mind. Stay calm - breath - you're almost home.
