I’d always wanted to visit Rottnest Island but the thought of flying made me queasy. With a little prep (and a lot of excitement), I finally made it.

Turbulence used to leave me gripping the armrest—but not anymore. This is how I learned to manage motion sickness in the air and actually enjoy the journey.

Twists, turns, and back seats were never my thing. But with the right prep, I’ve turned dreaded drives into part of the adventure. Now, I’m calling shotgun—and actually enjoying the view.

Three states, two snack bags, one winding mountain pass—and no nausea. Our road trip had its moments, but with the right support, I stayed steady all the way through.
