Traveling with a redheaded temperament

Suzy Stumbles Over Travel: Week of September 17, 2012

By

As I take off back to 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

“The Stonehenge Dilemma” From Wandering Unstruck

Submitted by Lindsey

Lindsey lends some alternatives to Stonehenge in England. While she appreciates the mystery and wonder of the famous site, she presents a few less popular options to frequent from white chalk horses to the largest stone circle in Britain.

“Mother(s) of Post-Soviet Countries” From Kami and The Rest of The World

Submitted by Kami

Kami educates us on post-Soviet architecture, specifically examples of the enormous statues of Mother. These fixtures set up on the hills above cities around the area. Kami presents three to see, from Tbilisi to Kiev.

“Our Secrets For Getting Around Venice” From 1000 Places To Fight Before You Die

Submitted by Mike

The couple at 1000 Fights lends a few ways to avoid those fights while getting around Venice. The piece breaks down how to travel throughout one of the most confusing cities in the world, whether by water-bus or on foot.

“A Place To Shut Off Your Brain” From Chrystal-Clear

Submitted by Chrystal

Chrystal visits Albania’s Berat Castle on a road trip through the Balkans. While she doesn’t have much time to spend with the castle, through the camera’s lens she captures the mystery and color behind the 13th century castle just along the way.

 “Preikestolen” From There To Here Blog

Submitted by Jay

Jay decides to take a hike in Norway, but perhaps not just any hike. She hikes Preikestolen, a massive cliff and finds some settings don’t require photo editing or touch-ups. This setting is one she can’t believe exists yet it’s right before her.
