Suzy Stumbles Over Travel: Week of October 17, 2011

By

From a colder Denver, 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, tweet the article on Twitter, stumble the piece using Stumbleupon and place a link to the post on my Facebook page. The following week I select my five favorite submissions 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 should be travel related. Leave a link to your article in the comment box below. You have until the end of the day on Friday to leave your submission each week. 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

“London Travel—Camden Town and Camden Market” From Couple Travel Tips

Submitted by Jason

Couple Travel Tips share their own travel tip on visiting Camden Town and Camden Market. Home to the Camden street markets, I was impressed with the diversity of markets in Camden Town along with their designs. From shoes coming out of buildings to a stable themed market, this piece has great insight into this part of northwest London.

“Should you visit Israel?” From Travels of Adam

Submitted by Adam

Adam tackles a controversial topic and question, “Should you visit Israel?”. After spending some time living in Tel Aviv, Israel, Adam reminds travelers to make an informed decision about traveling to a more politically intensive destination.

“10 Free Things To Do in Hong Kong” From Lash World Tour

Submitted by Lash

Lash shares 10 free things to do in Hong Kong. One of the most expensive cities in Asia, Lash’s suggestions from accommodations to sightseeing points make visiting Hong Kong not a budget breaker but actually feasible for ordinary travelers.

“In Search of Gallipoli” From Ramble Crunch

Submitted by Renee

Ramble Crunch visit many of the sites involved in the Battle of Gallipoli in Turkey. Throughout monuments and tiny cemeteries, this piece tells of a point in history some holidaymakers in Turkey might neglect to notice.

“A Rough Start in Russia” From Katie Going Global

Submitted by Katie

Katie arrives to a home-stay language program in Russia, only to find not everything as it was represented. Living with a hole in her window and even an outhouse, she questions her decision and stamina. I could completely relate to this piece. It is a good reminder that just because you are traveling doesn’t mean you won’t encounter disappointment and doubt.

  11. Hi Suzy, I actually just stumbled on your site by following a link for this post through Twitter!

    Anyhow. Cool selections – I had read a few of them already, but really enjoyed discovering the others as well. 🙂

    On Saturday we went to the Occupy Berlin protests and wrote about our experience (with a ton of photos). It was intense (I do NOT like pepper spray), but overall very positive and empowering.

  14. Hi Suzy,

    Wow, I just found out now that you picked my story this week! That’s lame of me. But Thanks for the selection~!

    I seem to be all out of sorts this week. I can’t post my story today because I’m held up by one photo I need to take. So can’t submit that one to you. I don’t really remember if i submitted this one already, but I think not. If I have, well, there’s always next week… So, here’s one from my ongoing cycling trip around Bali:
