Suzy Stumbles Over Travel: Week of January 14, 2013

By

As we settle into the middle of January, 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.

  8. Suzy,

    This is our first submission as our website is pretty new. Thank you for providing us the opportunity to share our posts with your readers 🙂 I recently realised that having traveled continuously for the past two years we have only paid for 90% of our accommodation. Pretty neat when you think about it. We’d love to share with you and your readership how we achieved this incredible feat of financial genius!

  20. Hi Suzy,

    Some very interesting stories this time around!

    As for me, back in Dec. I started an new series entitled ‘Why Living Oveseas is Better’. In pt 2 I explore the fact that most countries of the world are a lot safer and less crime ridden than the USA. I think the stats and my own experiences are pretty eye-opening and compelling reasons why living Stateside is not as great as living elsewhere in the world. See what you think on this topic…
