I understand that motion sickness is caused by the imbalance of visual perception and the balance detection within the ear organs ie. the eye sending information of no motion occuring, and somewhere within the ear motion is occurring, and the brain receiving these 2 contradicting messages thinks you may have swallowed poison that can endanger your system, and from there the vomiting scenes accompanied by miserable feelings occur.
Sea sickness is one of the worst motion sickness that can occur (my opinion ^-^").

Do not try to read anything while you are travelling, especially in a car, and try to look out of the front windows, not the side windows, focus on things, drivers do not get travel sick, so act like you are driving, eventually you will get used to travelling.

I don't think a person can become immune to motion sickness. I never have and I have traveled frequently, by car, plane and boat. I know I did outgrow the worst part of my motion sickness. I vomited every time I got on a car or bus when I was a child and do not do that anymore.
My mother, several years ago, got one of those "patches" from a doctor when she was going on a cruise. She said she did not get sick, but did not know if it was because of the patch or because the ship was so large.

No one knows.
No. I had terrible motion sickness as a child and outgrew it though. Maybe as I grew the shape of (the inside) of my ear changed. Who knows. But, I never traveled as a child, so I didn't travel my way out of it.
