As what many would say, you should never leave the house without your headphone with you as this is an essential.

Carefully choose your seat. Several things has to be considered when picking a seat. First, choose between an aisle or window seat. Some feels better when sleeping near the window. Window seats means you have more ways to arrange the pillows or create a makeshift one. For some, they prefer the aisle since they have more space, and they can stretch out.

Bring a tissue, wet tissue, and alcohol. Washrooms on the bus can be pretty gross, and that is mostly the case. You might need to make a trip to the bathroom to either pee or poop. The tissue, wet tissue, and alcohol is important when visiting the bathroom. You would not want to end up cursing since you poop and there is no tissue inside the washroom.

Bring a neck pillow or any travel sized pillow. There is a chance that you will feel sleepy. You know how hard it is to sleep in a croaked way, and you could end up with stiff neck after sleeping in the same position for hours. To make it comfortable, a neck pillow is your answer. With this, you can sell comfortably.

Bring snacks and drinks. For long drives, buses usually stops by so passengers can buy food and drinks or for them to refuel. The only problem is that most bus stops sells expensive food and drinks. Try to bring your own snacks. This way, you can save some money and you can even bring the foods you like.
