Building An Authoritative Travel Blog

Authoritative blogs seem all the rage at the moment but what exactly is an " Authoritative Travel Blog ?" Well my understanding of the matter is it is a blog that is not only very informative to the readers but that the information comes from authoritative type people in connection with what they are writing about.

Hopefully my articles below will give an insight on travel and travel related experiences from all over the world from many authoritative writers as they have been there and done that.

Articles will be and are published often and this means current travel experiences and up to date places to visit. If you have also visited these places or wish to comment then please do so remembering this blog is intended to family orientated visitors so please be respectful.

I have seen many fears raised through my article site and feel that any traveller today that, for one reason or another, decides against travel insurance then they are possibly being a little short sighted. We do not want our boats to sink but are happy to carry life rafts. travel insurance is a similar idea. We do not wish to ever claim on it but if things go wrong as they sometimes do it is a benifit to have the insurance.

Great sophisticated lessons and table etiquettes will be provided by masters. The 101 lessons that should not be missed is the Art of Tasting Cheese and Wine Class. In here you will be taught how to make your own "cheese clock", a must skill when attending social and formal cheese tasting gatherings. A cheese clock is a plate with the different types and kinds of cheeses of your choice arranged in the cheese clock manner.

To make your own cheese clock you should first start with the 6 o clock position, using the lightest and softest cheese available which is to be paired with the lightest wine. The 9-12 and 12-3 positions will fill the medium cheeses and wine reds. Lastly for the 3-6 position nuttier and bolder cheese variants should be placed which is matched for darker and bolder wines.
