    Been watching you guys for a couple of months. You have inspired me as I go through a divorce, and celebrated my 47th birthday this week. I also just purchased a 2015 sprinter 170wb extended, and plan to live in it fulltime asap. Thanks for sharing your experience, the world awaits!!!

    I was really scared for you guys eating salad in Mexico!
    I have been there so many times.
    I have been deathly ill there too!
    My rule when I go is to only drink bottled beverages that I open, and never eat fresh produce.
    No fresh lettuce or tomatoes on the plate!
    I only eat all cooked food.

    I believe you Bec...I get the exact same way when in the car. I can't even look at my phone without getting sick. So I end up being a sleepy passenger.

  • @tiffanywatson2935
    @tiffanywatson2935 6 років тому +7

    I get the same way in vehicles Bec! As a teen I slept through half of a trip to Italy because the choice was feel sick or sleep. Now that I'm older I'm useless on car trips, my hubby gets to drive and parent while I fight sleep! poor guy!

    I get so car sick like that too!! I always have to lay back and sleep it off because sleeping is when your body heals itself. It just makes sense lol

    • @eamonandbec
      @eamonandbec  6 років тому +1

      Soul sisters Ashley 🤗 but not sure we could take a roadtrip together haha!!

  • @angelabay-jespersen6205
    @angelabay-jespersen6205 6 років тому +2

    Bec, I believe you!! Sleep is THE best distraction when your feeling sick, especially nausea, so it makes perfect sense!! I bet it was an amazing feeling getting into clean pjs and sleeping in clean sheets. Clean sheets are sooo nice, one of life's simple pleasures. I really hope you find a shower ASAP 🚿 There's nothing like getting clean to lift your spirits (especially when you have long hair!!) . BTW your cooking looks delish, I'd love the recipe for your lentil/walnut "meat".
    I’m kinda bummed the "Hello Mexico" series is coming to an end and that soon the group will be going their separate ways so make the most of these last couple days together. I really hope you organise another road trip with the MM's in the future! Who's going to keep the walkie talkies? So sad their range isn't a few thousand km's 😂 over....

  • @peytonbequette6730

    I get car sick like that also! You’re not strange. When I’m not driving I need to be looking where the I’d be looking if I was driving! At the horizon like you said. All of my sisters and I get this kind of car sick/motion sickness. If we’re not looking forward at the horizon we neeeed to make ourselves sleep (preferable in darkness) to rid of the headache/pretend it doesn’t exist. Nothing helps lol. Sad to see you leaving Mexico! But the food still looks bomb! Safe travels! Sending love xoxo

  • @lorforton
    @lorforton 6 років тому +5

    It's totally a thing! I'm the same way, 100%. If I'm not driving I have to be facing the proper way with some good music or a podcast running to distract me. Otherwise I get so sick I have to sleep

    • @eamonandbec
      @eamonandbec  6 років тому +2

      Thank YOU for legitimizing my theory haha. Car sick buddies 🤗👊

    • @lorforton
      @lorforton 6 років тому

      Eamon & Bec Of course! We gotta stick together, haha. I have this theory that it's because I wear glasses. My peripheral vision isn't as strong so if I'm not focusing properly (facing forward, have something to distract me, etc.,) it throws off my internal balance. I may be completely off base but that's what makes the most sense to me!

      @corikublank 4 роки тому

      @@Santana-Rose The sun only actually heals in smaller amounts. Being outside without sunscreen for looking periods of time tends to lead to skin damage and possible skin cancer with long term unprotected exposure any time of year

    • @Santana-Rose
      @Santana-Rose 4 роки тому +1

      Cori Kublank unfortunately that’s not correct. Sun burns cause damage but it’s great to build up your tolerance over time by being outside as much as possible all year round without harmful chemicals smeared all over. Truthfully it’s the chemicals on our lives causing cancer and not the sun.

    The car sickness happens to me too!!!! It's totally a thing. So I HAVE to be the driver. If I'm a passenger then I'm so sick. I would have to be laying down sleeping also.

    I highly recommend this radio show called The mysterious secrets of uncle Bertie’s botanarium. It’s hilarious!!
    You’ll find it on Stitcher (app). It stars Jemaine Clement (also hilarious).

    Have you heard of the portable oven called the hot logic mini? I think it would be perfect for vanlife
