In case you are new here, say over the last three months, I used to do a segment (Suzy Stumbles Over Travel) each week where I would invite readers and writers to leave a comment with a link to their favorite travel post of the week. I would then read, comment, tweet (using Twitter) and stumble (using Stumbleupon) each post. The initial goal was to get the word out about posts that just didn’t get the attention they deserved. The following week I would feature my five favorites and the stumbling would continue in to the next week.
After taking a break from all of the stumbling, I have decided to start again that same segment, with a few changes. I really enjoyed reading and helping out writers looking for more readers. As I have noticed a new travel blog spring up each day, I think into the New Year, it would be worthwhile to feature this segment again.
The same basics apply. Leave a comment below with a link to your favorite travel post of the week. I will then read, comment, tweet and stumble each submission. The changes come in with time. I will be posting the Suzy Stumbles Over Travel post every Monday. Beginning on Monday, you will have until the end of the day on Friday (wherever you are in the world) to submit your favorites. I have shortened the time you have to submit as I was getting swamped with articles at the eleventh hour. Another change to the segment, I will post a link to each submission on my Facebook page. The following Monday, I will feature my five favorites submitted last week and the stumbling will continue.
Once again, if you are new here, I welcome you to submit to the return of Suzy Stumbles Over Travel. If you aren’t new here, I welcome you to submit again. Just a few rules to keep in mind, the post can be from your site or another site. It must be travel related. You can only submit one link each week. You must leave a link to the post in the comment box below. Be sure to follow me on Twitter to see your posts tweeted, subscribe to my stumbles on Stumbleupon to make sure I stumble your post, and “like” me on Facebook to see your post in bright lights so to speak.
Thank you for your submissions and I look forward to reading about travel through your eyes each week, again.
WhooHooo! Glad to see your weekly feature back.
I’d like to get things started by submitting this:
7 Reasons You Should Experience Backpacking in Thailand – http://su.pr/7Itkpi
A couple weeks old, but a goodie nonetheless!
Hopefully you had a fantastic Denver holiday.
Glad to see this feature make a return. I was far too busy eating Turkey and drinking wine this week so I rehashed all our old stuff, from symbolising the Gringo Tax through the medium of dance to being nasally violated in Bolivia, and added a picture of Santa: http://www.the-working-traveller.com/merry-christmas-enjoy-these-repeats/
It’s great to know that this is back! I definitely need help on my other page. Here’s a post on Wat Phra Singh, one of the significant temples and historical landmark in Chiang Mai, Thailand. http://medblogcontest.com/blog/11/?p=316
Keep it up! More power to you. Happy New Year!
Thanks!
Yay! I’m glad to see this segment making a triumphant return! I’ve been doing a round-up of my favorite blog posts once a week, but it’s never as successful as this feature of yours was!
I have a post for you from last week, where I lay bare my self-conscious fears about solo travel.

Awesome to see this back! I know it’s a lot of posts to wade through each week.
I’m submitting the most recent one on my blog about experiencing my first Christmas abroad http://thelifethatbroke.com/?p=224
Great to see this feature back 🙂 I’d like to submit Poi’s new hang over cure – Bungee jumping!

I’m so glad the series is back! I was a little light on posts this week, but here is my Christmas post:

Hey Suzy – really pleased you’ve bought this segment back, I’ve missed it!
I’ll get the ball rolling again with a post from a couple of months ago that’s one of my faves that I’ve written – a motivational piece called “So what the hell are you waiting for?”
http://whatsdavedoing.com/blogs/travel/so-what-the-hell-are-you-waiting-for/
Looking forward to enjoying some more great posts from around the web!
Great idea!
This is a post on Delphi, Greece

Hey! Just saw that you’ve started this up again from your facebook.
Here’s a recent post that seemed to get a great response.
It’s about the fantastic Christmas Markets in Germany.

Cheers!

Ooh I like this too! Glad it’s back! I’m going to submit my latest travels around Uganda with a psycho. Complete nutcase. But it certainly makes for a better story that way!
http://www.nerdynomad.com/2010/12/26/trapped-on-an-organised-tour-with-a-psycho/
A great idea. And thanks for taking out the time to help out fellow bloggers.
We just got back from visiting my parents in Indonesia and I’m feeling a little homesick right now, so I’m going to submit this post I wrote about going home:
Can You Ever Come Home Again?
The answer is: sorta :p
Thanks for offering fellow travel bloggers this chance. My website is undoubtedly the simplest blog template out there, but I genuinely put a lot of thought into my actual writing. I always try to tell people an amusing story.
For consideration: “Behind the Eight Ball and Other Synonyms for ‘Unlucky’ ”

Hi Suzy,
Great concept! Here is a recent blog post on Morro de Sao Paulo in Bahia Brazil, for those thinking of visiting. http://hiddenpousadasbrazil.blogspot.com/2010/12/morro-de-sao-paulo-bahia-brazil-10.html
Fantastic idea, thanks so much for setting it up again.
Here is an older post of mine, but one I think would be of interest
http://nobeatenpath.com/2010/11/05/paris-is-for-walking/
Awesome, I missed this and I’m glad you’re bringing it back!
Technically last week but I took off for the holiday so hope you’ll forgive me 🙂 “A Journey Into the High Andes”- http://whereisyvette.com/2010/12/21/journey-into-the-high-andes/
Glad you’re bringing this back.
If you don’t mind a post that’s from the previous week, would love to get a shoutout on my sadly overlooked Antarctica photos post.
Thanks,
Have an awesome New Year
Ooops, the link helps – http://trans-americas.com/blog/2010/12/antarctica-photos/
So glad to hear you’re bringing back this awesome feature, Suzy! Here is my submission:
Two weeks ago, I was visiting Keystone, CO. This post covers my day trip to Breckenridge in which I got to see an incredible freeskiing event at the Dew Tour: http://maiden-voyage-travel.com/keystone-colorado-day-3-dew-tour-river-run-village/
Wahoo… glad to see this return, it’s a good segment.
I would love you to check out “The Boy and his Skipping Stone” http://www.brendansadventures.com/the-boy-and-his-skipping-stone/
