1)   Top of the charts for sure: Anglophobia – the fear of England.

2)   It is cloudy in England about 70% of the year. If you have Nephophobia – a fear of clouds – you can head here or maybe Seattle.

3)   London is an awesome city for so many reasons. They have an amazing public transportation system. If you need to go a long way, hop on The Tube. Just a short ride but too far to walk? Grab a taxi! They are everywhere. Do both and rid yourself of Siderodromophobia & Amaxophobia: The fear of trains and the fear of riding in a car.

4)   Not suffering from Siderodromophobia & Amaxophobia? All right, walk and conquer Ambulophobia.

5)   Take a walk by Big Ben and cure your fear of clocks: Chronomentrophobia.

6)   All that walking is sure to make you hungry. A very popular dish in England is fish ‘n’ chips. Head to a local pub, grab a warm lager and some grub. While you¹re at it, take care of that Ichthyophobia and Dipsophobia, the fear of fish and the fear of alcohol.

Have you wanted to travel somewhere but you can’t because you fear something about the place you’d love to visit. Well, it’s time to conquer those fears people. Check out my list of the top fears to conquer when traveling to Asia:

First off, you’ll obviously have to kick Aviophobia or Aviatophobia – the fear of flying.

Agyrophobia- Fear of streets or crossing the street.
Head here and hang out for a bit.

A very popular vehicle for traveling in China, you should be able to get over your case of Cyclophobia – the fear of bicycles.

You’ll get really hungry if you can’t kick Consecotaleophobia – the fear of chopsticks.

Good luck hangin out here if you can’t get rid of Chromophobia or Chromatophobia- the fear of colors.

Oh yea, you made need to kick this as well… Photoaugliaphobia

I almost developed Melophobia after seeing this.
