I can finally tell you what’s REALLY been going on. 👉Links to mentioned heroes in the description. 👈. I’m Mary. Welcome to my full time travel vlog. My house is a skoolie named Max; my home is wherever it’s parked. Ride the short bus to adventure with me and my dog Captain to places you’ve always wanted to go and places you’ve never heard of. Maybe even some places you’re scared of.
Sometimes it works out great, and we all learn something. Sometimes it’s a disaster, and we all learn something. Are you sensing a theme here?
Travel with us, learn with us, laugh with us, cry with us. We saved you a seat – get on the bus!

Hip, hip hooray… Hank has saved the day. My heart is so happy for you. Travel safe and stay well. Much love from another Massachusetts native. 🧘♀🙏🌎☮
Glad to hear your bus is working well. I hope you get the treatment you need and have good health. I will be in Whatley, Mass, near Deerfield, May 21-24 and in Bar Harbor over the Memorial Day weekend.
Getting ready to head back to Maine
Third winter in Quartzsite!
It seems winter is clinging to Northern states. I planned to take a northern route to see some National Parks, but still cold!
Happy Easter Mary 🐰Bus looks good, and Sprinters have no character owned for posers, and the desert is magical
So happy to hear that things with Max are settling down… Yay!! Good friends are hard to come by. Looks like you found a great one. Lucky you. I hope Capitan is doing well. Now it is your turn… take care of yourself now. Your health is #1. Blessings to you, Captain, and Max. Safe travels..
Will be watching for your next video. Mary, please be safe..🫶🙋♀️✌️
YAY! I'm so glad you finally got to the bottom of the trans problem. Happy Kat stayed with you, I watch all her vids too and the 2 of you make a great team. Praying for your health problem to be fixed, Captains also. Stay safe out there. I'm hitting the road next week. Just me and my little tent ❤
i mossed the episode where yhe bus flipped. what happened? did you amd captain go flying? im glad you're back on track
A true friend is always there Good or Bad!! Love your videos !!
I am so glad things are lining up. You deserve all things good🩵
This makes me SO happy for you. You handled this misadventure with grace and strength. I truly enjoyed getting to meet you and I hope to see you again someday (though I wouldn't blame you if you avoided QZ for the foreseeable future).
Happy trails, Mary. I wish you nothing but the very best…always.
Good to hear you can move about the country again. Hope to see you again someday.
Thanks for the update. Life seems to demand that we have to power through and keep trying. When we get to the other side we can rest a little for the next challenge. Be proud🤗👩🌾
I’m so happy for your happy ending. I came to your channel from Kats. I just love her.
Nice story.
Three months was worth all the tribe members added? ❤
I'm so pleased Max is rolling oo, he really deserves another go at life on the road. You deserve your tribe and I'm happy you found yours ❤ take care.
Happy trails Mary!
Sending you good health wishes.
“Get on the Bus”. Max is fixed..👏🎉👏🎉
My admiration and respect for you came long before we met in person. So many hours on the phone baring our souls. Your wise words and caring counciled me thru some very hard times and still do. I've learned so much about myself, you open my eyes to new perspectives.
Then we met in person, spent the winter together where my admiration and respect kept growing.
When disaster strikes your brain kicks into plan mode. For you that means plan A, B, C, and D. If you make it to C you start working on E and F. Honestly I don't know how far you made it into the alphabet on this saga. And in spite of it all we had a great winter in a beautiful desert, met wonderful people, made great friends. Yes tears needed to be shed, but you were always ready to leave them behind and enjoy all the good things. Always ready to count your blessings. Our catch phrase game "But luckily" always brought laughter, we did more laughing than crying. I would have been in full nervous breakdown mode. You didn't allow disaster to keep us from having a great winter. I am blessed to have you as my tribe, or as our pups would say, pack. Your strength is awe inspiring. You are a warrior princess! I'm honored and proud to call you Sister.
Loved this video and the message of finding your tribe. Great message. I'm looking forward to some upcoming travel with my mom.
Here's to the dorks! Such a pleasure to meet up and spend a bit of time with you. And Kat. I'm so happy you are on the road again. Safe travels. As you head to Mass., I am heading to Montana. Come up to the Big Sky Country some time. I'd love to see you! Take care darlin and I'll see ya down the road😊❤️🎶
Hey Mary really glad to hear from you and very wonderful to hear you in such high spirits:)
Josie 🐾 and I have been thinking about you and Captain 🐾 praying and sending positive vibes your way.
It is crazy how things unravel sometimes.
Thank You for another entertaining provoking life on the road commentary . It is amazing how things come together;)
🚐🐾🌵
Kat is an incredibly kind, caring and funny person! This sums up the whole ordeal perfectly. Sometimes it’s not about the hard stuff, it’s about the people who got us through. Safe travels!
How do you look so beautiful in the morning right after you wake up? I'm so happy you are finding people like Kat who stand-by you and who are actually fixing Max. I'm going to have to write that man in Mesa name down. Thank you for sharing your journey Mary. ❤❤❤
Whoa!!!! Exciting. I’m so happy for you. What a sigh of relief 😅. That is beautiful of Kat to of stayed with you. Good on both of you! 😃😃
I don't know Kat personally but she seems like she would be a sweetheart and a half. So glad you've gotten Max back better than ever. It's like God knew you needed Max in tip top shape to get you back to the east for your treatment. Good luck with that by the way. Godspeed to your doctor
😊 Welcome back Mary. Nice to see you back on the road. Safe travels!!
So glad you got a happy ending and found your tribe. Come back soon and visit your tribe in Torrance. Hugs!!!!
This story really makes me smile! I just love your positive outlook on everything you encountered. I am subscribed to Kat and Dogs on Wheels and enjoy it so much! I hope to be out on the road finding my adventures one day. Who knows…maybe we will cross paths and I can be part of the tribe! Safe travels always to you and I look forward to the next update!
What a nice update! Hope all continues well with you🤗❤

hi from a canadian
Thank you so much for this piece. Two of the very few facets of Life that seem to me to stay stable through time, and true through long experience are: 1) Life is mostly about simply getting back up off the ground, and somehow putting one foot at a time in front of the other foot: somehow, just standing back up; and 2) As you say, ever-seeking and supporting a tribe of people, of others, some closer some further, but people; others are Life, a tribe will save your life, help one to get back up, almost every time.
Like apple pie, Solitude can be a great meal when needed, but even apple pie gets tiring after two weeks of apple pie.
Thank you so much for telling these stories in the context of Life as it is happening. -C
I have enjoyed watching you go through your life journey. The good, the bad, and the interesting twists and turns. Thank you for sharing this journey with us. Your channel is growing! Yay!
I'm so glad you got the long term problem figured out finally! And I would do the same thing – get it fixed rather than scrap and start over. Vehicles are always going to have mechanical issues here and there, that's the nature of the beast. Just like you pointed out that you wouldn't get rid of a house because it has a problem, why would you get rid of your home just because it's on wheels?! I look forward to your journey back East and hope that your health issues are easily remedied.
Preach It sister
Ah, Mare! I'm so happy for you that Max is back on one piece and taking you on your way again. I'll bet one of the biggest lessons this year + has been patience bc you've really been challenged to wait and keep waiting and then wait some more. Kat is a very good friend!!
So happy to hear the update! God bless Cat!!!
