replying to @travelskills @travelskills A6: Rarely get carsick but it happens. Whether it does no not Depends I think on your personal health as much as the road conditions. Sitting in front, having a good view of the road, looking forward and not eating unhealthy foods before the trip helps. #TravelSkills

replying to @AllianzTravelUS @AllianzTravelUS TIP Always keep an emergency kit in your car. Make sure it has a first aid kit, blankets and any other tools/snacks you might need. Keep replacing the bottled water so it’s fresh. #TravelSkills

Most Memorable Roadtrip: When I was a kid, my family couldn’t afford to fly so we went camping in a motorhome. Favorite trip was to Arkansas because we went to Dog Patch USA, a hillbilly pioneer theme park based on Lil Abner cartoon. I fell in love with Daisy Mae #TravelSkills

A8. Yep - we've got flashlights, tools, jumper cables, and even a portable jump starter, plus basic first aid stuff. It's always a good idea to be prepared, not just for your own safety but for anyone you come across who needs help too #travelskills
