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.

The Seven Wonders of the World

By Gary Ardnt

The seven wonders of the world are ancient and marvelous buildings built by people before us that withstood the test of time. These great architectural works is almost impossible to replicate even in these advance times. Though there are many wonders of the world, these historic sites are the most famous and most prestigious sites out there. They have the greatest recognition and are the most visited.

Located in northern India, this historic site is one of the most famous in the world. It was recently voted in as one of the top wonders of the world. Built by the last Muslim emperor of India, this huge complex was built as a memorial for his wife. Though the emperor never saw it finished, we know how good of a job he started.

The Christ Redeemer of Brazil is a big statue of Christ, Jesus that stands 40 meters tall. It is situated at the top of Corcavado Mountain range and overlooking the Rio de Janeiro. It is one of the best-known monuments of Jesus around the world. The sculptor of this great piece of work is Paul Landowski and the designer is a Brazilian named Heitor da Silva Costa. The statue also reflects the hospitable nature of the Brazilians, which are the open hands of Jesus ready to receive anyone.

The Great Wall of China is one of the biggest structures that are visible even to an astronaut in outer space. It was built by the early people of China as a protection against the marauding Mongols. The wall took years to build and cost the lives of many, many people. It's so big you can see it from space! Up until today, most part of the wall is still intact and serves a tourist attraction. The wall is very popular with people and is easily visited from Beijing.

The Petra of Jordan was the capital of the empire of Nabataean. This city of Nabataean contains great water technology that has a series of tunnels and water chambers to provide water throughout the city even if it is situated in the desert. The city was made famous by the Indiana Jones movie and has seen been a huge historic draw since then.

It is most important that we protect these sites in our travels. Many of them are thousands of years old and were left to be reclaimed by the elements for centuries. Remember to visit these sites in a sustainable way. They are a gift from our past and should be kept for the future. Visit these sites to learn about the history of humans and give to their conservation so others can see these historic wonders.
