I don't know why, but I don't really like it when planes fly above me. It's silly. I
know, but I always think they might fall on me - which of course they never do!

I've always been really scared of travelling by plane, although I know it's a really
safe way to travel. I'm lucky because Mum and Dad understand howl feel. But my
grandparents live hundreds of miles away, and because I refuse to fly, we always have
to travel by car or train, which takes a really long time. But they never complain.

I think mine is a really stupid phobia as I'm quite good at swimming. But for some
reason I'm just terrified of boats. I'm going on holiday to Mexico soon, and there's a
really cool secret beach that you can only get to by boat, but there's no way I'll be
able to do that until I can forget my phobia - and that's impossible.

I'm frightened of the dark, so I really don't like travelling through tunnels. I think it
comes from when I was a child and my older brother watched horror movies in the
dark. And unfortunately I watched them too and then of course I couldn't sleep.

I've only got one real phobia. I got stuck in a small lift once. It was at an underground
station so it was really busy, but no one there noticed that the lift wasn't working.
At first everyone inside was quite calm but as time went on, people started to get a bit
nervous. In fact, I wasn't in it for long - but now I'll always use the stairs, just in case!

I have a real fear of hot air balloons. Luckily I never have to travel in one so it's not
something I ever have to worry about! It's because you can't really see anything
keeping them in the air I think​
