I love to travel and visit different places. I've been to different places and really had fun discovering different people and sites. But I always had this problem that I really hate whenever I was traveling even short distance. I always get dizzy!. I remember as a kid my grandma would always bring plastic bag so that whenever I would vomit she had plastic with her haha. It was really embarrassing and hard for me. Until now that I have my own family I still get dizzy whenever I would rode in a moving vehicle but good thing there are already available medicines that prevent dizziness. Bonamine is my traveling bestfriend for many years already. I always make sure that I have this medicine in my bag all the time especially when our family is going on a long trip.

Hi aicasalink, I can remember as a child. many many years ago I had the same problem...Whenever I travelled in a car even for a short trip, I would get sick at the stomach..I don't recall me vomiting but I surely felt like it plenty of times... Now that I am grown I don't have a fear of travelling by car but I surely have plenty of snack in the automobile...If I start getting that feeling I just eat something especially something salty..I don't get dizzy just sick on the stomach.. Much luck to you and keep your medication close...LOL....

I recommend wearing wrist bands to stop seasickness and bus sickness. I suggest having a pair of ear planes in your ears during a flight on a plane. With those in you wouldn't get travel sick. I use them to stop ear pain when I fly on a plane. I suggest sitting next to a window on a bus or coach. If possible on a bus or coach trip have some air by having a window opened. Taking a plastic bag in case of vomiting is a very good idea. Happy traveling.

So im guessing that you get car sick. Recently i have found that if im in a car that is full and im in the back i actually get sick and feel dizzy and nautsous i actually dont throw up but feel like im going to. If i have to travel a long distance and im in the back it isnt good at all and i feel sick and i try to eat sugar candy so it makes me feel better but it helps a little bit but not to much of course. I wasnt like this as a kid at all until i got older into my adult years and i wish i wasnt like this because it bothers me. I have traveled alot in my life growing up and it doesnt bother me when my boyfriend drives and he usually does but when we are with other people i get sick and it isnt fun at all.

If there's a will, there's a way. hahaha... That is the attitude. Nothing can stop us at doing what we love the most. I used to be like that when I was a kid. I remember myself throwing up every time we go to Baguio or Pangasinan. But as I grow old, that habit of mine just disappeared. But now there is something bothering me. I don't know if it is related to my reflux or what. When I am up in the air, my chest starts hurting and I have to burp a lot just to ease it a bit. But that didn't stop me from flying...hahaha...

I get motion sickness very easily also. Every time I go on an airplane I have to take Dramamine so I don't get nauseous and sick. I don't throw up or anything, but I do feel very uncomfortable and nauseous. I even get car sick too if I'm riding in the way back of a van or if I'm riding in a small car. It's very annoying and it only happens when I'm the passenger in the car. Luckily, Dramamine is very helpful and I always use it on trips.
