Suzy Stumbles Over Travel: Week of March 25, 2013

By

From spring in Colorado which usually means snow, 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 a drop: A port wine tasting in Porto” From On The Luce

Submitted by Lucy

Lucy explores Porto, Portugal by the glass of port. She breaks down the history of port in the area all while experiencing a true tasting of ports from ruby to tawny types.

“Spring Break in Colorado- Cañon City and Colorado Springs” From Travel. Experience. Live.

Submitted by Bram

Bram brings us on his spring break to central Colorado. From views from one of the highest suspension bridges in the world at the Royal Gorge Bridge and Park to the Manitou Cliff Dwellings, built over 700 years ago, Bram highlights just how awe-inspiring this state is.

“Stranded and Freezing in Minneapolis (in the name of free travel)” From Needle Girl Haystack World

Submitted by Laryssa

I have always wondered who changes their travel plans when the airline gets on the loudspeaker saying that they need someone to change their flight. This flight is oversold. I found out Laryssa is one of those people. On a connecting flight in Minneapolis and without a jacket, she decides to take the airline up on their offer for the sake of free travel.

“How to Save $17,000 Teaching in Korea for 1 Year” From That Backpacker

Submitted by Audrey

Audrey moves to Korea to work as an ESL teacher. In hopes of paying off student loans and saving for future travels, she records her savings and expenses for those considering going a similar route. In the end, she is left with $17,000 in her pocket.

“South Africa: Tsitsikamma National Park” From Lily Wanderlust

Submitted by Lily

Lily follows the famed Garden Route along South Africa’s coastline with a stop in Tsitsikamma National Park. She mostly lets her photographs speak for themselves about the jaw-dropping natural beauty of this stretch of South Africa.

  9. Hi Suzy,

    I have been following all your great choices for weeks now and I have been waiting to submit something I think you will love – don’t take it from me, read what a local concierge in Nice says are the best things to do while traveling there. LOL, for once it’s not my advice on France!

    My submission: Inside Scoop from the Concierge at the Hôtel Palais de la Méditerranée on what to do in Nice. Here’s the link: http://wp.me/p23W3Y-1gI

    Cheers,
    Priscilla

  12. Nice picks. I was particularly impressed by Audrey’s piece. I’ve worked teaching English for a while, but never been able to save that kind of money. Guess I was in the wrong places!

    My submission for this week is about our recent experience riding one of the few overnight trains in Argentina, from Bariloche in the Andes to Viedma on the Atlantic:

    • Oops! Sorry, I didn’t see my first comment when I posted this one. I thought that perhaps it hadn’t been submitted because of my crappy internet connection!
