Planning a backpacking or long stay trip? Fancy visiting places that are a little more… unusual?
There is certainly something amusing about being able to tell your friends any family you’ve been to Cookietown and Mosquitoville! But here at Alpha HQ, we wonder if these places really do reflect their names… if they do, we especially like the sound of Cookietown!
Why not shake up your itinerary and cross these strange places off your alternative bucket list!
- Land of Nod, near Grayshott, Hampshire
- Lost, near Strathdon, Aberdeenshire
- Bread Loaf, Vermont
- Tarzan, Texas
- Hell, Norway
- Boring, Oregon
- Truth or Consequences, New Mexico
- Cookietown, Oklahoma
- Dead Women Crossing, Oklahoma
- Yum Yum, Tennessee
- Hoop and Holler, Texas
- Pity Me, Durham, England
- Toast, North Carolina
- Christmas, Florida
- What Cheer, Iowa
- Dirty Gutter, near Leek, Staffordshire
- Mosquitoville, Vermont
And just to make things really confusing……
- Whynot, Mississippi
- Whynot, North Carolina
And even more confusing…!
- North Pole, New York. (Not to be mistaken for North Pole, Alaska!)
We think the USA wins for strange place names!
