I usually get travel-sick. So I can't travel by bus, car or plan accept I must use. I love to see many places in my country and over the world. But every time I think I must go in car or plan, I feel tired!

I bring chips when I travel to focus my attention with the food. And sometimes I open the window and inhale fresh air.

I have traveled by car, boat, bus and train. I have not gotten sick because of traveling on any of them.

You're a happy person. I believe that you went to very many places in your country and over the world. Right? :)

I love to travel by train and always feel well when I am traveling by train. A number of times I have felt travel sick on a bus and a coach. I was on a bus in Indonesia and it was going round lots of corners. It went up very steep hills and then along very high ground. A few of the other travelers were actually sick. I do tend to feel travel sick if I travel in the back seat of a car. Once I was very sick on a plane and that was because it was bumpy air journey. I am very keen on traveling to different countries. I am sorry that you have tiredness and sickness when you go traveling on buses and cars. I suggest that you try to travel by train and by plane. Good luck.

Thank you for your respond. I think that planes or trains is the best for me. I really hate that I'll get travel-sick when I want to go travelling.

My wife and children have travel sickness.We use a tablet called avomine to get rid of it.I think a lot has to do with not liking the means of transport.I think you have to start imagining that travel will not effect you and slowly you'll get over it.

Yes, I sometimes think that my sickness is only psycological sick. I'm trying to solve it.

i usually get motion sickness so when i have to travel i take motion sickness meds. lately i've tried to omit the meds; i just make sure that when i go by bus, i stay in the first three rows; preferably the first row. when i am a passenger in a car, i have to be in front. i have no problem when i'm the driver tho. i'm hoping to be able to get over the motion sickness little-by-little.

I wish I can be ok with the motion sickness meds. I tried many kinds of it. But they don't be feasible.

When I was young, I usually had a headache and vomited inside the bus even for just one hour ride in a bus. So whenever I travel, ride in a bus I drink one tablet of dramamine and I always bring with me a plastic bag if ever I vomit. But now I am just fine in travelling no more sickness.

My friends say that I should use car, bus etc... more frequently in order that I can used be with them. But I don't believe on it much. How are you?

I used to get travel-sick often but think I may have 'grown out' of it somewhat. I am usually the driver when I travel by car and am ok then. If I travel by train, I need to face the way I'm going. It has been over 9 years since I travelled by plane and I dont really like it. I never think about the plane crashing or anything like that but I do fear being sick. The problem with planes is that you cannot open a window to get fresh air!

I have never traveled by plane. But If you're ok with car, you're still sick with planes, so I think that I can't travel by it!

I usually have travel sickness. I usually throw up when traveling that's why i minimize traveling or going to far places. If i do i try to sleep on my way there or take in a medication fro dizziness. It works well with me so i can still enjoy my travel.

When I was a kid, I hated travelling because I would always feel dizzy and vomit. For a time until highschool, I felt this. But, after highschool, my condition improved and now I'm okay when I travel. I really love traveling and visiting other places. I'm sorry to hear that you can't. Maybe you could take some medicines to avoid getting dizzy over travel. Or, check with your doctor if there's any way you can remedy this situation.

I do, sometimes, if I read when travelling in a car or bus for instance. Otherwise I don't really.

I think that we should sleep while we're in car or plane in order that we can forget the traveling-sick.

I think you have psychological fear and believe that every time you travel something happening to you, you must control that.. Sorry for me not really sick but everytime I travel by plane my stomack giving problem specially long distance, that's why everytime I use plane I see to it that there is stop-over.. The other mode of travel no problem at all.... see you around

Your problem is not very important. You only get travel-sick when you use plane for a long time. I'm different, my stomach will be uncomfortable when I only think about the travel ...

Well if I am dehydrated or I have been drinking lots of coffee I get travel sick but otherwise if I take a good care of my body and soul, I have no problems with traveling.
