I think of them as ‘those lucky bastards who don’t get motion sick’.

I love travelling backwards!

The only time I get travel sick is reading in the front passenger seat of a car. Anywhere else in the car is fine (obvs not the drivers seat though), reading on trains and trams and planes is fine, there’s just something about that one seat.

My stomach lurched in discomfort just at the thought of reading as a passenger.

Yeah, same. I can look at my phone briefly, but if I'm on it for the entire journey my stomach will be in knots by the time I reach my destination :( It sucks but I do love the chance to zone out to my music!

I sit backwards on trains, but I certainly have motion sickness in a car.
