Suzy Stumbles Over Travel: Week of April 29, 2013

April 29, 2013 By Suzy

From a very summer-like Denver, I bring you this week’s Suzy Stumbles Over Travel. In case you are new to this site, each week I ask bloggers/writers and readers to submit their favorite travel posts of the week. This can be from your own site or another writer’s piece. I read each submission, comment, tweet the article on Twitter, stumble the piece using Stumbleupon and post a link to the article on my Facebook page. The following week I select my five favorites to be featured here and the stumbling begins again into the next week.

Just a few things to keep in mind, please only submit one post per person each week. Your submission must be travel related. Please leave a link to your post in the comment box below rather than sending it to me on Twitter, Facebook, etc. You have until the end of the day on Friday to leave your submission. Anything left past Friday will be carried over into next week’s submissions. I will get busy promoting the articles by the end of the day on Sunday. Be sure to follow me on Twitter, subscribe to my stumbles on Stumbleupon and “like” me on Facebook to make sure I give your post the attention it deserves. Check back here next Monday to see if your submission made my five favorites of the week.

The 5 Favorites of Last Week

“Just Another Day in Kotor, Montenegro: An Archaeological Dig, Friendly Felines and Mammoth Strawberries” From Tricia A. Mitchell

Submitted by Tricia

Tricia takes us to Kotor, Montenegro. From the journey there to the historic details, archeological remains and tasty food markets, she has the reader yearning to stroll this ancient city’s streets.

“The Sizzle in Algeciras” From Belinda Beckett

Submitted by Belinda 

Some destinations don’t have the best of reputations. Belinda points out the many negatives used to describe Algeciras, Spain. Rather than seeing Algeciras by its negatives, she sets out on a travel challenge and finds a few reasons to love this Spanish “industrial port city”.

“The Story of the Russian Visa” From Colleen Brynn Travels

Submitted by Colleen

Colleen puts her passport in the hands of another to sort out her visa for Russia. When it is mailed back to her, she waits and waits and waits. As no passport arrives for weeks, she is forced to accept the inevitable and miss out on a trip. Colleen has us on the edge of our seats as to how this predicament turns out.

“12 Reasons To Take A Round The World Trip” From World Family Travel

Submitted by Alyson

Once winter is over, I can always use a bit of a kick in the pants in terms of travel. Alyson provides that kick with 12 reasons to take a round the world trip. From the changes of the self to the pushing of limits, the post gives us a number of reasons to pack our bags now.

“Eat, Sleep, Love; Cordoba” From Andalucia Diary

Submitted by Andrew

Lastly Andrew has us eating, sleeping and loving Cordoba. As he gets lost down its narrow alleyways, he discovers one of Andalucia’s more mysterious cities.

Don’t forget to leave your submission in the comment box below. You have until the end of the day on Friday to leave your submission.

    Hi Suzy,

    I’m sharing a video I made while hitchhiking through Europe last summer. I hitchhiked 23,000 km without getting mugged, robbed, or tied up in the back of a van. Not even once. 🙂

    Hey Suzy,

    The sun finally came out here in Berlin so a few of us went to the disused Tempelhof Airfield for some Sunday shenanigans.

    Here’s a quick post and video I put together about it:

    Hi Suzy, I know my post from last week was about the northern lights, but they’re too much fun to write about so I have another one this week…this time about dozing off under the northern lights in a glass igloo!

    Submission from Britany…

    Hi Suzy,

    My latest offers advice to anyone thinking about trying Ayahuasca in Iquitos, Peru, where many backpackers travel for spiritual and emotional cleansing through this shamanic practice. It was quite an experience, but not one I’d recommend entering lightly!

    Thanks!!

    Hi,

    My Submission ” Visiting Fort Lauderdale – The Venice of America ”
    http://holiday-road.com/visiting-fort-lauderdale-the-venice-of-america/

About Suzy Guese

After a childhood of keeping road trips interesting around the U.S, stints in Western Europe as an angsty teen and a study abroad year in Italy in college, I decided to make traveling and writing my way of living. My travels are laced with hints of a redheaded temperament, proof that my hair color is indeed natural. SuzyGuese.com is where I solve packing predicaments, blurt out my travel secrets, rant about nomad injustices and share where the road takes me in hopes that it might take you there too.
