    Travel Sickness

    Do you get carsick? Planesick? Seasick? Bussick? WALKINGSICK?!

    I get carsick if I read or play a DS, usually. I used to get Bus-sick when I went on school excursions (back when I was in school) so I had to sit up the front. Never been on a boat so wouldn't know about that, and I don't get planesick... Can you even get planesick? xD

    You can get planesick, but it's called air sickness not planesick. XD

    I usually get carsick or bussick. I have minor motion sickness that isn't as bad as it used to be, but it's still annoying. It doesn't affect me on planes and it hasn't affected me in my experience with boats. But if I read a book or even if I read too much on my phone, I can get very sick in cars or buses. Video games seem exempt from this rule for some reason. Music helps for some reason. But if the person drives very erratically, then you need to keep a window open because even if I bring something to drink and play music, it's usually not enough.

    I also used to get really sick on roller coasters but that's not as bad now as it used to be. I can go on loops without fear of getting sick. Going backwards usually is very bad for me though but it's not as bad as it used to be. To give some perspective, the first time I got off a roller coaster (which also just so happened to go backwards), I collapsed and had to be taken to the medical ward. I was described as "white as a sheet" and my legs could not keep me standing for the life of me, nor could I keep any food down. Though I can't go on the tea cup style rides at all, those really make me sick.

    I get a bit motion sick. If I don't look straight ahead when I'm in a lift, I get a bit dizzy. xD So I guess I get liftsick.

    If I sit in the backseat of cars and it's windy I feel a bit sick, unless I sit in the middle so I can see out the front window. xD It's not as bad in high up cars or buses for some reason. Sometimes I get dizzy just from bending down to pick stuff up a lot, like if I'm cleaning. xD I found out I have low blood pressure, so I think that's just what it is. I'm okay on rollercoasters and planes somehow. XD

    Thankfully, I don't get any sort of sickness in vehicles. In fact, when I was on a boat, I loved to stare at the water because it's mesmerizing.

    I do tend to fall asleep in cars and buses, but that's another thing. =P

    I feel like I should be ashamed for how long it took me to recall what a lift was. I was like "a lift? What?" and i went off and did a few things and was like "Oh she meant elevator!"

    I never get motion sick! I have really good sea(/air/car/lift) legs. It's probably because I've done a lot of travelling since I was a kid - my first flight was when I was 3 months old

    I don't get motion sickness, but I've never been on a plane so I can't confirm that I don't get sick from that.

    As a kid, I used to get air sickness a lot. Not anymore though. :D
