She 👏🏽 did 👏🏽 that 👏🏽 ✨✨✨✨ You inspire me❤️
LOOOVVEEEEE YOUUUUUU
Wow long trip.
Beautiful bridge
The town is called Cambridge
@@Maryjanebyarm this will be an experience that you'll treasure for your lifetime! Glad you've made it safely...enjoy!😃
Last time I took Greyhound I vowed never again. Within the first 5 minutes the guy next to me was asking for a bite of my sandwich lmao.
Llabbbbb
Omg
😂😂😂
😂 I would prob give a piece or maybe a granola bar if I feel like a person is hungry.
😆
I did that from DC to LA. Riding through the Grand Canyon was unforgettable. The whole bus of people got quiet. Our country is huge. It is life changing. Trust.
What bus were you on and what route did you take? It doesn't make any sense to drive past the Grand Canyon between those two locations...
I do stuff like this by myself all the time and everybody calls me crazy lol. So glad to see I’m not the only one who loves doing different extraordinary things! Loved this vlog 👏🏽
Screw them do you bro
I travel from Mississippi to Sacramento California and I'm here now
That was pretty amazing journey on the Greyhound bus! I personally would take the train or fly, going cross country like that. But, good job!! 🤟
Yup females hmu
You're not a petite young woman though
This is what living is about. As she said, it would have cost $75 to fly and would have gotten her there in about 5 hours. She spent more to do this. We must conquer fears and allow ourselves to experience new challenges daily. Thats what living is about.
I'll be 40 years old in January and you've just given me the extra boost to do this for myself. Despite the situation our world is in right now a person cannot stop living, because dreams die if you don't live.
That’s right! I’m JUST now getting my nerve back to travel to the grocery store 🤣
sgissweet845 I encourage you to go for your dreams. I am from Texas, I traveled from there to California in 2015 will my four children: ages 10, 7, 3 and 4 months. I was 38 years old then I’m 41 now. You can do it! 😊
@@Tabby.cat2 These are tough times for everyone and you are a strong, amazing woman. Women like in this day of age have a lot of challenges but we must stay classy. It's the only way to go
@@tiawilliams6187 I've wanted to take a solo train trip for literally decades and I know it's time. The 40's will be very interesting and adventurous for me!
Me too! I want to see the Atlantic coast and Pacific coast. I'm in Houston TX so I will bus to Florida 1st. Maybe Jacksonville 😊!
That was so nice of Leo. He was mesmerized by your beauty
Girl.. I thought you meant a LEO = Law Enforcement officer.. 😆
Leo was on one lmao
Yeah, ain't no coincidence those chocolates landed on her seat 😀
You see how many different ways of life there is in America that way. There's actually so many choices. It's strange how most stay locked in one place, especially when they're not really happy.
Yes indeed. It's good to travel but to also stay safe. Imma tell my kids y'all could go anywhere y'all want.
Very true statement. It’s crazy where a person could literally only be in there 50’s or 60’s and never left their state. Some people just think in their four corners
Some dont have money
@@ajl2232 Other than people with impediments, it's usually a preference for a certain way of life. A lot of these small-town people do not want to live a pressured, tight-scheduled urban life where they have to step-up how they look and act. Because of this they're okay with a rather rough and tumble way of life. I lived a while in a rural town and saw it for myself. They're neither right or wrong.
Fr I never thought I’d love Nashville so much and okc. Flagstaff cool too. The whole az
Wow!! I’ve always wanted to do this as a kid and now I’m an adult... even more. And you did it during a pandemic!! I can’t even imagine the moments you had. In and out of each city. The people you spoke to and the interactions. LOVE THIS!!
This was Visually Aesthetically pleasing 😭 but 70 hours on Greyhound now that’s an experience!
I couldnt make it on a greyhound 7 mins ...Hats off to ya
Yeah it's beautiful when you're watching clips and cutouts of the video but not while you're doing it😂🤣
You're blessed to find a clean greyhound station bathroom. Gurl, usually they're bathrooms look like a murder scene...lol
I agree. Each time that I've rode Greyhound with Las Vegas being my final destination, the bathrooms and sink areas are lack-luster and not very clean, some of the locks on the bathroom stalls do not lock or are broken, overall I just wash my hands and I'm out!
😂😂😂
If you're lucky. Most look like disaster areas, LOL.
St. Louis was the cleanest for me
This is true
I did this with TWO TODDLERS -LA to OHIO.
Yes! I broke down when we had a 4 hrs layover in Columbus,Ohio.
Sounds like a hell of a story
Did they check your bags?
See I was about to say I can’t do stuff like this anymore because I have a child😩 she’s now a toddler. We fly to Puerto Rico twice but that was only 4 hour trip. Any tips? She’s a toddler now and I’d love to do something like this with her. Give me tipssssss😩
She appreciates the little things... chocolates... Treating others well is what this world was meant to be
I really admire your fearlessness. You’re amazing !
Thank you so much!
She's taking a bus ....chill
Gsn Have you watched her other videos? That’s what I’m referring to & her traveling alone all over the world, not a fucking bus ride so you chill . Maybe one day someone can say to you what I said to her so you can feel good about yourself & all accomplished. Until then stfu
@@DarrissaF traveling all over the world by URSELF seems fun not scary if its scary too u then its just not for u
Taking a greyhound is the equivalent of riding a scooter from LATO NYCITS SO UNCOMFORTABLE I SWEAR
I'm a Greyhound driver and want to do a cross country trip myself. The longest I've done is Cincinnati to Tampa...as an employee. I'm sure it would be slightly different as a full on passenger.
Bet you see some crazy shit.
That’s awesome ✊🏾
Do you change the driver? or its just you alone
Seen the craziest stuff mostly not the best on and around the greyhound lol. Don't leave your stuff behind you. It will get taken
Hello, are those greyhound buses chairs comfortable? Thanks.
The last greyhound bus trip I did was back in the 1980's when smoking was allowed. I set next to a woman that when one cigarette was out she would light the next one. Non stop from New York to Chicago. I was finished. Once I got to Iowa, I said to myself that was the last time. My entire body hurt. You did New York to California. You did your Thang!!! Congratulations
i did a round trip from nyc to san diego on grey hound back in the late 80's and vowed never to do that again. It took a whole day just to get through texas.
@@mattyrock2467 It takes a whole day to get through Texas even if you are driving a car :)
@@jarjarbinks3193 yep. saw nothing but mountains and cattle for a entire day it seemed. I will never take a bus across country again.
yea bro. i was in my early 20's back then and had patience. at least i can say i did it.
Greyhound didn't allow smoking in the 80's
Nothing worst than sitting on a greyhound bus for 72 hours with everybody taking off their sneakers and socks while their feet start stanking
can the windows open?
@@FloridaMan69., no they can't, and said people need to wear Odor Eaters in their shoes.
Leo did sound kind of sexy on the intercom😩😂 I loved this video though girl !! Glad you’re safe.
DIDNT HEEEEEE lol
I’m glad I’m not the only one that thought it 😭
😊
Yessssss he does... I thought the same thing guuurrrl!😂😂😂
Call him when you get a chance and thank him for everything..😊
Wow girl you are brave!!! So curious about this experience. Can’t wait to watch!
I’ve literally been thinking about how I can travel more on a budget and look at God! I love watching your videos and you inspire me so much.
You can imagine what truckers go through... That long road teaches you silently
This is facts ..
💯💯💯💯
Nah truck drivers got it easier
@@mfwspjaycee3699 Yeah, they have nice truck stops to go to. nothing like a Greyhound station.
@@ellisjames7192 microwaves,fridge,bed,tvs,etc truckers gott it made fr
Girl, you'll need a nice hotel and a hot bath and a cup of tea.
And a chiropractor 😉
stay tuned for the next vlog :)
And lots of sleep
I wish we had some of those sleep pods available in a more modern and clean way at the bus stations and train stations. But ...🤷🏾♀️ who knows when we’ll get there.
😂😂😂
Thanks for sharing. When I was 17 in 1977 I took Greyhound from LA to NY for $75. What an experience.
i did a round trip from nyc to san diego back in the late 80's. All i can say is NEVER AGAIN.
70 hours with a mask? You’re a really strong lady. Most people would struggle after a few hours.
Masks reduce oxygen intake and increase viral load making you more likely to get sick.
OMG your stamina and determination to endure that is beyond my comprehension. I once took an 18 hour Greyhound trip. The overnight portion was brutal, I was so sleep deprived, couldn't get comfortable in those seats for that length of time. Props to you!
It's your fault who takes a greyhound sober
I would have loved that LONG TRIP. You need to teach people how to travel that has never did things like you. I would definately listen and learn
Girl you said it right. Some people who visited overseas are amazing how China Synapore Japan and certain country in Europe trains are so modern and high speed. When they come back to the states they are so amazed at what they saw. America spends too much of our taxes on Military. Even Trump mentioned about the airports in other countries.
I love greyhound trips!
I love bus trips and train trips
WOW! What a trip! I think it's pretty cool that you did it. And, I'm honored that you used my song "Body Language" in your video, Maryjane. I'm always happy to see you use it :)
I saw your music on thematic ! very good
@@LifebyDai Thank you!
Ryan! I knew that was your music) Your music is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I first heard/discovered your unique sounds from the "Mazelee" vlog- and I am a HUGE FAN. I could be in one of my lowest moods and as soon as I watch a vlog with your music, I'm transformed to another space. Its so relaxing, UPLIFTING and overall dynamic.
Nice song
You'll be great. I like the neo soul feel
I took one of these kinds of trips not too long ago , I went from Baltimore to Texas and it was 50 hours there and back , our train even crashed along the way but I got to see so much and it was the first time I actually felt myself wondering where my adult life is gonna lead me
The world belongs to the curious! Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
Did that ride back in 1998 lol but it was from Vegas to Nashville. An experience I will never forget. Go Mary Jane be safe!
🤗
i was looking for a covid-era greyhound vlog to ease my stress about taking my first greyhound. thanks for making this video!
That's was dope, I take greyhound often and this video made me feel like I just took another ride... AWESOME 😊
My husband and i drove from Minnesota to Montreal Canada, and than Montreal to Niagara Falls , and from Niagara falls to New York.....it was EPIC..... that was in 2013. You make me wanna do it again. Enjoy your trip girl! 💝💝💝🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Your videos always motivates me to go and explore the world❤🙆🏾♀️
Love that!
@@melacentric sounds like a great idea!🤔🤩
I did the same trip back in 1978 at 12 years old, mind you I was with my Mother and Sisters.
Shout out the bus driver leaving the chocolates lol that was kinda smooth lol✊🏾
Leo was like, when you come back "Holler at me" And trying to mark territory with the "Let me know if you need something so I can let the other drivers know --this one is mine----ahem, I mean----to help you" 😂
😆
He deffinetily wanted to hit this one 😂😂😂
Finally somebody saw it lmfao
My experience on groundhound is it's always a drunk person, someone smelling like piss and someone getting loud doing the most and end up getting put off bus
Can you drink on the bus?
@@greysonG10 alcohol ,no guess people drink there drinks before boarding
that happens on Airplanes all the time
I would have taken an airplane and called it a day. Grey hound was a nightmare for me. I hate changing buses
Your 🎶🎶choices and editing to encapsulate this long bus journey = well done and I reckon, the Hershey chocolates bus driver , Leo, was crushin' and maybe has done that before = still sweet, lookin' after your comfort! ☺
Leo was feeling you girl ! I don’t blame him you look pretty even with the mask on
But have to respect her because she always travel alone, that kind of scary though and dangerous there so much crazy things going on in the 🌎
That was my fiancee way of thinking until I told her to go to Europe by herself. She ended up loving it and wants to do a few more.
It’s fun. I used to travel alone all the time. I’m too sick now unfortunately and I have a child. Can’t let what could happen stop you from living life.
@@refugeofthoughts8870 Idk, I can't go anywhere alone, I get so bored. I have to sometimes since I live alone and don't have any friends.
I travel alone, too. Once, I took the greyhound bus from Las Vegas to New York.
i also travel alone with flixbus
to other european countries
Currently on a 52 hour bus ride on the ol hound, by myself. Missouri to Florida. I will say, Indianapolis bus station was by far the craziest in the middle of the night. Love your video chica!
WOW !!! . I love your background music . It"s so groovy .
Sis....I'm a travel RUclipsr from NYC and you inspired a brother to step his game all the way up... You're a champion through and through.
Can you imagine is Leo ended up being your future husband? God sends people in your life when you least expect it!
The bus driver announcer guy's voice is so soothing
Hey, people knock busses but you can't beat the scenery. I love stopping at the little towns. In a plane, all you see is clouds and sky. Plus, people are usually really nice. The bus drivers are usually very helpful and watch out for you. Nobody has ever stolen anything from me, because there is always someone that looks out for you and we take care of each other. I like bus trips. The only thing is not being able to sleep. Other than that I'd always take a bus.
Leo is an earth-angel with a soft spot for you. Such a beautiful gesture.🌹🌼Keep us abreast😘 Great scenery and great music as always!!!Thank you for the much needed peaceful and calming entertainment.
Yessss! Her music is ALWAYS great!
Omg Leo seems so sweet 😭
Subscribed here from Springfield, Missouri. When I travel by Greyhound (Amtrak is preferred) I sit in the front of the bus closer to the driver also. It does make you feel better. Some bathrooms in the terminals are better than others, and some rest stops are better than others. I always bring chips and food with me, and keep myself hydrated as well. For the most part, no one begs for anything, which helps. Thank for the amazing footage and that awesome music.
I would SERIOUSLY Love MaryJanes playlist.so relaxing.
The bus driver leaving you chocolate made MY day 😩😂❤️
That was wicked sweet
he did it for the nookie
Definitely not something he's doing for everyone 😄
Stay safe and healthy.
Awwww this makes me want to Travel alone ! I admire your confidence and courage to do this ! And such a beautiful young lady to explore with ! 😊🥰🌎 Stay Safe Love !
Very relaxing video, with great soundtrack to go along... I did Los Angeles to Phoenix Az and that was enough! LOL! Met a friend on the bus! In one day Im going to see a friend in Belgium (from
Paris) and it will be with Flixbus. Train is too expensive. We cannot stop living in those crazy times! Love you! Cannot stay in one place too long like you...
when I visited the US years ago I did a 16-hour trip and I was honestly knocked out, stiff legs, puffy faces, my cousin's feet swelled up and everything
The fact you stayed cheery for over four times as long a journey has me confused but I realise its cos your a seasoned traveller
I feel you girl I've been in a same situation before traveling from LA to Baltimore Maryland on a greyhound bus it was the longest bus ride ever It literally took days for me to get there so my love and blessings goes out to you may God continue to watch over you, your definitely an inspiration...
The last time I rode Greyhound was in 1998. It was a great experience and just seeing the country was awesome. I just subscribed to your channel.
Long time ago, I did Tucson, Arizona to Wisconsin. 48 hrs. So 70 is awesome. I will say to you all is the benefits are you meet a lot of interesting people from all over the country. It’s also an interesting experience you will remember forever
Love from Virginia I DEFINITELY want to try this soon VIRGINIA TO TEXAS BECAUSE IM MOVING but I’m a little nervous because of the virus YOURE SO BRAVE THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO IT GAVE ME CONFIDENCE
Asia Mccormick if you d ok not mind me asking how are you getting there?
Me 3
Nice video. I've never had a prob traveling cross country via Greyhound. It's nice letting someone else drive while I chill and relax. Amtrak is refreshing too.
Thanks for this girl. I’m traveling from San Diego to NY in a few days alone as well & I’m SHOOK! 😂 I’m glad you got to your destination safely!
This seems like a nice experience. Something to do, when you want time alone.
I recall taking a bus from Colorado Springs to Cleveland. If you want time alone you might be disappointed. I recall smelly alcohol breath that was unavoidable. On the other hand, there were some like Leo along the way. Those people really save the trip.
Only because of the pandemic. I've had a few times with a week long trip, you almost go crazy, and everyone stinks.
lOVE a good road trip
I did this once.... It was so exhilirating.....Met cool people too....
yes, @Genesiswilson. Awesome experience. I might try that...again...and stop in New Mexico for a day and then keep going and stop in Phoenix for a day...
I know that you are a worldwide traveler, but you should do a state by state tour of the US. There are so many beautiful places in our country.
I hate to say it, but as a young Black woman she could be in more danger in the wrong parts off certain states than she is in her world travels.
Stay safe.
I totally agree
@@SS-kk1pb Exactly. This is the very reason I am afraid to drive across the states. It's on of my biggest dream, a solo trip across the US. But this is only possible if I skip certain states/areas because of racism (mostly) and sexism.
S S This! Im planning a road trip soon and making sure to note all the sundown cities!
It's a lot here to see
Awesome ride,it's been a long time,but I did the same thing years ago back and forth several times,best days spent,met cool folks,saw beautiful culture's across the U.S,,and yea,there's so many different cultures you'd be amazed,try it,you WONT regret it
You are awesome... Until someone truly does it and experiences it they will never understand... Greyhound can be a mystical experience.. A greyhound trip across the country and you will be a different person and learn a lot about yourself and others... And you get the best sleep afterwards!!!! Great video,, 1Love
I took Greyhound from New York NY to Homestead Florida and for me that was a lot of hours but your trip took the cake. Thanks for sharing .Your video took me back to my lonely travels.
Omg she is just so darling. I love her stinking face!!!! She is so brave.... and the determination 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Go girl!
I did this exact route but in the opposite direction, LA to Philadelphia (not all the way to NYC). This is one of the better Greyhound videos as far as capturing the basic feel of the trip. Long, tiring, lots of great sites to see on the American road, lots of convenience stores, some really nice ones like that Loves in New Mexico. I enjoyed my trip overall despite a few crazies and drunks.
There’s something about greyhound trips. You hate it in the moment but look back on it all nostalgically lol
I loved this video! The scenery was beautiful, and the music was fire! Thank you for taking us along on your journey! Peace and Light to you always! ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Who sings that song Once Again?
God Bless you ! Brave young lady and be safe. I admire your courage!!!
It took me 3 and a half days to get where i was suppose to be la from nyc and my luggage was in Pittsburgh When i got to la bus station i was so 😡 then i told the guy from the lost luggage department he told me i had to wait like a week i was nervous because i had my electronics in it so it was nothing i can do but wait for it long 7 days thank god i got it back the last day what a relieve they called me.
That ole playa Leo got the hots for you shawty! He hit you with the HERE’s A CHOCOLATE FOR MY CHOCOLATE!🤣🤣🤣 Thats old school macking right there!
Umm hum Leo tryin be slick lol.. text me and I’ll make sure the other driver make sure u good. And those chocolates and note.. umm hum . Let us know if Leo
try to hit u up.
Just what I was thinking. Damn Leo
Mmmhmmmm leo knew Exactly what he was doing
I did 24 hrs when I was 15. NYC to Alabama. Lawd! Vowed to NEveR do it again. You go girl! 🎈
haha i did that in thailand and just slept the whole way
I remember when riding the Gray hound was fun. When i was younger going home to Alabama. The bus stop in Tennessee another bus come five hours later to take you to Alabama. Those were the good ole days though. Be safe and God bless
I've taken a Greyhound from San Diego to North Carolina. I know the feeling of this long road trip.
hahaha i did something similar, I biked from Montreal to Newyork city in 5 days, than i took a greyhound back. ^__^. Just sightseeing the uncharted American small cities is great.
Legend!
now this is living life
This was awesome and Tfs!😊 I did this 24 yrs ago from NYC to Florida with my 10 yr old daughter just for the experience and new journey we were embarking on! Three days later...my furniture was delivered and life's been great since then! 😄
I love the city shots with the music playing. You're a good editor and cinematographer. Pretty cool. I've rode a lot of Greyhounds. From Mobile, Al to Evansville, Indiana is my longest trip. Always an adventure.
Must have been terrible, I did Miami to Buffalo and thought that was impossible, I was losing it half way, bus transfered in Wash DC. So you deserve an enormous amount of credit for this trip and handling it well.
I love this!! Back when I was 24 I traveled from Nevada to Alabama. It was an awesome trip!! Seeing the country via bus was definitely a new perspective for me.
Bus drives are cheap and amazing experience
I took a 30 hour trip on Greyhound from New York to New Orleans. Great trip. Dining car, nice people....stops every few hours to get out and stretch my legs.
Dining car ?
Must have been a dream
What kind of Greyhound bus has a dining car are you sure it wasn't a train
I made this New York to Los Angeles trip on greyhound in 1973. It was an express run, changing buses in Dallas one time. It took 48 hours, moving 24/7. We only stopped for short spells to eat and stretch. It was fast and efficient. No whining like today's passengers..
I've done Spokane, WA to Wisconsin Dells, WI. It sure was an adventure. From spending overnight at a public bus terminal in a rainy Minneapolis, to seeing random acts of kindness at a bowling alley diner in North Dakota, that trip had it all.
I’m in Philly, and I’ve been thinking about taking Amtrak to LA, but seeing how Greyhound sanitizes their buses every few stops has me considering taking them instead. I’m not going until late September. Depending on Covid numbers I may take a flight. What a sweetheart Leo is.
I took amtrak cross country in July no masks were worn or required I was very upset
Trust me now never ever take bus from coast to coast take train it's much more fun an faster than bus cross usa
I just got back to Ohio from my trip to gorgous long beach ca
Which is great city cleaner than San Diego to point because not to many homeless living on streets by tourist area like is going on in San Diego now.
Train better because seats better much more comfy than bus
Plus you can hang out in lounch cafe car most of trip you not cramped like I was on greyhound bus recently going to long beach from Ohio and from long beach to Ohio
I had about 3 long long delays on bus made me miss my other buses
Not very fun either
You had to wear masks in bus all time which did not care for.
But I hope feds lift that law about forcing people to wear masks on public transit on all planes an bus stations an bus an trains
I was told they might do it soon not require masks no more?
Taking Amtrak you should get a roomette before even thinking about Greyhound. It is expensive but it beats a coach seat for that long of a trip and Greyhound would not be worth the hassle.
I was 12yrs old my first Greyhound bus from Pennsylvania to New Jersey loved it, from Jersey to Virginia.
You picked an excellent introduction song ( Once Again by L M Styles ) and for your arrival in LA. Shazam app gave me the name of the song. I also enjoyed your video. Thanks Maryjane
Your a strong woman! Wow! Blessings your way !
Your eyelashes are EVERYTHING. 😍
Maryjane you are absolutely a soldier As well as being beautiful ,God watches over his great people like you I think you for sharing such an awesome video this let me know it’s still not too late for me even though you are younger you show me something today not only are you a beautiful face you are a work of art created to show the world what you are doing keep up the amazing work and may God continue to bless you Journey.. wow this is amazing enjoy your visit in Los Angeles California 😉
Great video and nice music! Riding the bus long distance is definitely an experience and a half; my Greyhound trips have pretty much been no more than 4-5 hours in the northeast, but the cross country trip is a bucket list item. At the moment, according to the Greyhound website, there are three direct buses a day that leave NY for LA; two take the routing you did, through the southwest; the other goes through Denver and the Rocky mountains. That's the one I'd probably go for!
Hello from Minnesota. Back in early 70s, I took Greyhound to Arizona. I was 15 years old, my brother went with, him 16. Went to visit our bother.
Wow, that was visually amazing!! The desert Southwest was really cool to see.. Great video!!
Your experience with Leo is making me smile!🌞
Amtrak is definitely worth the extra cost . Greyhound is gross most times . Especially in atlanta. Have you been to that greyhound ?
My brother and I flew to New York from California in 1980 and we rode on Greyhound back to California. My older brother had the novel idea of wanting to see America while returning to California. It was a miserable 3 days on many Greyhound buses and you never get to fall asleep before you're woken up to transfer onto a different bus. The bus stations were dirty and the people were scary! At some bus stations, you had to pay to use the toilets. Lastly, the restaurants at the bus stations were horrible! Next time I'd take an AMTRAK sleeper train if I wanted to see America from New York to LA.
Lol facts
Leo had a crushhhhhhhh
