When one travels by bus long distance there is a way to keep oneself fresh right through one's journey. I keep with me a bottle of water to splash on my face and also brush through my hair now and then. Believe it or not this is my secret to keep myself fresh. Most of my foreign travel involved long distance bus journeys. What is yours?

I enjoy traveling by bus while my wife is not traveling with me (vomits every time we travel in a bus). I really love traveling and I have really traveled long distances by bus. For instance I once traveled from Hyderabad to Delhi (changed bus at Nagpur, Bhopal, Allahabad). That was tiring but I enjoyed the journey.

That can really ruin your bus travel. I know a few who take Avomin that puts them to sleep and that helps them with not vomiting. I too love bus travel enjoying the scenery. All my foreign trips involved several bus journeys.

@allknowing nothing works on her but it's kind of allergy to smell of diesel and petrol. She never vomits while traveling by air but road travel is a horrible experience for her. I have ordered a wristband that helps in such cases.

I do not appreciate long journey in bus. If it is in train, it will be enjoyable for me. Bus journey makes us tired. Glad to know your tips.

Bus travel gives one an opportunity to go through hills and dales.

I enjoy the scenery most of the time, take pictures of what I may want to paint later, bottled water is cool and some snacks.

It is not the destiny but the travel is sometimes more fascinating and you seem to know that.

@allknowing travel is more or less like 50% of the destination, in a boat it is more but lesser in a plane cause it's too fast to enjoy. I also observe people.while travelling.

I took a bus journey across Canada, from Halifax to Vancouver. I get motion sickness so I can't read or play video games on my phone in a moving vehicle. I also can't sleep on a crowded bus so I just hopped off the bus in various cities across the country and got a hotel for a couple of days to rest up. It took me 14 days to get to Vancouver, but I was able to tour some of the cities on my way there.

Some bus travel this I say It took only 21 days for me to cover most of the US sight seeing Yours is a record of sorts as it did not involve much of sight seeing but sleep in hotels.

@allknowing I slept for a good part (I needed it) but I can say that at least I've been to Banff and Jasper...if only to sleep.

When I travel on a bus I tend to get travel sick if I read a book or look at a magazine. Therefore in the daytime the best thing for me to do is look out of the window at the scenery the bus is passing. I sometimes enjoy listening to music on a long distance bus journey. In the night time I will sleep in an upright seat. Due to feeling travel sick on long distance buses I prefer to go by train. We had two long train journeys crossing India which were very interesting. Yes, we did something similar like you for keeping fresh. Hair can get messy on a long journey so that is a good idea to bring along a hair brush.

For me that splash of water on my face helps me stay fresh. I do not have travel sickness. Some here take Avomin for that puts them to sleep

Ever since I was a kid, the thing I often do on my long trip is to sleep.

When we've toured, we bought snacks and water at stops. Half the time I'm asleep. LOL! I also keep a mini Evian in my bag for a spritz.

Splashing water on one's face periodically keeps one fresh. A bus journey is filled with views that we should not miss.

I would think of something - but the longest I have spent on a bus or train journey is 2 hours at the most.

If you refreshed yourself you would look around and appreciate views rather than just sleep it off

I usually splash a fresh scent cologne on my body whenever I take a long bus ride. It helps though for me to feel fresh. =)

But are you sure those around you will like the scent cologne you are using?

@allknowing im sure they will.. because i make sure to choose the mild fresh scent and not the strong ones that would irritate the nose as I too hates that.

Splashing water on one's face does help a lot. Next time you travel long distance just try it.

If it is within 8 hours, it is fine. At least I can fall asleep on the way. If it is a longer journey, I prefer to other ways, such as train or plane.
