The weirdest travel phobias

From a fear of lakes to one of losing cellphone reception and a scare related to extreme cold, here are strangest worries travellers have

Limnophobia
This phobia associated with nature is more to do with marshes, ponds and what lies beneath a lake, than the lake itself. We?re pretty sure these people will want to stay away from a lodge in Maine, US. The lake is about 316 feet at its deepest and 10 miles long. Whew!

Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia
That?s the fear of long words! And travellers who are perturbed by it may not pronounce Krung thep mahanakhon bovorn ratanakosin mahintharayutthaya mahadilok pop noparatratchathani burirom udomratchanivetmahasathan amornpiman avatarnsathit sakkathattiyavisnukarmprasit, the 167-letter formal name for the city of Bangkok.

Nomophobia
There?s a place in California that may offer rest and relaxation but it also has no phone service. So, we are sure those with Nomophobia, a fear of losing cellphone reception, will definitely stay away from this unplugged destination.

Cryophobia
Brrr! Here?s the fear of cold. Travellers with Cryophobia might avoid an ice hotel in Lapland. It?s the world?s first hotel made of ice with 40 rooms, as well as a bar and a church, all of which are made from around 40,823 tonnes of the chilled white ice.

Aichmophobia
This is the fear of sharp objects like needles and knives. Just looking at the Space Needle tower in Seattle might intimidate anyone who has Aichmophobia.

Hodophobia
Yes, there is a fear of travel itself and that is it?s name. It makes people tremble at the thought of a long road journey. Such people could never venture out on Alaska?s Dalton Highway, the longest stretch in the world.
