Suzy Stumbles Over Travel: Week of June 27, 2011

By

As time flies and another week begins, I bring you this week’s Suzy Stumbles Over Travel. In case you are new to this site, each week I ask writers and readers to submit their favorite travel posts of the week. I read each submission, comment on the article, tweet the piece on Twitter, stumble the post using Stumbleupon and post a link to the submission 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, you have until the end of the day on Friday to submit. Please leave your submission in the comment box below. If you leave it on Facebook and Twitter, I can’t guarantee I will see it. The post should be travel related. 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.

The 5 Favorites of Last Week

“Tracking Hemingway (Paris, Peru, Venice and Sun Valley)” From 1,000 Fights

Submitted by Mike

Mike and Luci travel around the globe in search of Hemingway. From tours in Paris to his gravestone in Sun Valley, this form of travel is different than most. If you are having a hard time figuring out where to next, why not track a favorite author, or better yet, Hemingway. He really got around.

“Why do we assume all of Mexico is Tijuana?” From Travelated

Submitted by Emily

Emily shares her experience of visiting La Paz. When put up against what popular media and the U.S. government have warned about the country, two images of Mexico present. Emily challenges notions of safety as a whole in Mexico and encourages those to not count out the country just because of what you might hear about Tijuana.

“Surviving the Louvre” From That Backpacker

Submitted by Audrey

While it was over a decade ago I visited the Louvre, I appreciated Audrey’s tips on how to see the Louvre the best possible way. One of the greatest museums in the world calls for rested feet and a plan, as Audrey learns.

“A Girl’s RTW Packing List” From Wanderlass

Submitted by Lilliane

Lilliane presents the ultimate packing challenge of round the world travel. She details exactly how much of everything under the sun she is bringing through an extensive list and a fun video on how she packed it all. Perhaps it is just my love affair with packing shows I started at a young age, but her packing process is a good guide for someone planning a long trip.

“The Speed-Up, Travel and Personal Happiness” From Where’s Nelson

Submitted by Sara

Sara tackles work and travel under American ideals. With vacation days disappearing and Americans without passports, she challenges people to change these notions of “can’t” and “travel”. It is an interesting debate and comment on American society worth joining.

Don’t forget to leave you submission for this week. You have until the end of the day on Friday to submit.

  6. Always enjoy this feature on your site! Last year at this time, I wrote a guest post for Twenty-Something Travel and this week I wrote an update post. It is a “where is my travel life now” kind of thing.

  8. Hi Suzy, I am really new to Blogging and finding it a bit of a quagmire! I am sooo not sure on what I’m doing!! But anyway, I saw your article on Pizza in Italy and really loved it – I am a bit of a pizza maker myself – so decided to say a quick hello. I also love Denver – my family and I are hoping to come again this winter for some skiing. If you have the time, check out the pics on Where On The Planet and if you have some pics to share that would be great too (I’ll link back to your page). Can you recognise Photo Number 31??? Cheers Annie (The Traveler)
