Suzy Stumbles Over Travel: Week of June 4, 2013

By

From a warm 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

“Avoiding Tourist-Targeted Crime in the ‘Safest’ Cities in the World” From His & Her Travels

Submitted by Marissa

His & Her Travel believe they are safe from petty crime while spending time in Seoul, South Korea. Only until the end of their stay do they experience a typical tourist pickpocket act. They remind us to never let our guards down even in the safest of cities, all while providing a few tips to keep in mind.

“A Pep Talk on Breaking Free” From Gigi Griffis

Submitted by Gigi

Gigi gives the wandering soul a pep talk in this very inspirational post. She mirrors her own experiences of how she broke free to pursue the life and work she is proud to celebrate.

“Inca Trail Day 2—Dead Woman’s Pass” From Holiday Nomad

Submitted by Freya 

On day two of the Inca Trail, Freya battles through the aches, pains, smells and exhaustion of crossing Dead Woman’s Pass. She presents a landscape and views that you certainly wouldn’t mind battling through to see.

“Trinity” From My Walkabout

Submitted by Will

Will takes us to a place in the U.S. only open to the public a mere two days a year, the site of the first Atomic Bomb test explosion in New Mexico. He enters Ground Zero and provides a look at this rather chilling spot in the world. 

“Photo Essay: Hiking the Lost World of Masca’s Ravine (Tenerife)” From 100 Miles Highway

Submitted by Katherina

Katherina takes us to the tiny and remote village of Masca on the Canary Island of Tenerife. She leads us to one of the most popular hiking trails on the island, through what seemingly looks like a lost world. 

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.

  22. Submission from Richard…

    Suzy thought you might be interested in my blog this week “Putting the Public back into Public Art” http://bit.ly/15nvnGg It is a different take on the public art in Millennium Park which you also did recently. If that doesn’t work for you maybe you would consider “Window Licking in Portland” http://bit.ly/13haD2F. I know I am only suppose to submit one, but given the potential overlap I thought it might be OK to give you an alternative.

    Cheers!
