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.

Jeffreys Bay, situated on the East Coast of South Africa has miles of golden beaches on the warm Indian Ocean and is fondly called JBay by all you know her well. This location is the perfect springboard to explore the untamed Eastern Cape of Africa while living in luxury with your every convenience been taken care of.

Jeffreys Bay is best known for its spectacular surfing spots, including Kitchen Windows, Surfers Point and Supertubes, which is internationally acclaimed as being one of the worlds top ten surf spots and is host to the International Billabong Pro surfing competition. Straight, long, hollow cylinders and sizeable swells guarantee that even the most expert of surfers enjoys a challenging and beautiful ride on some of the worlds most remarkable waves. Despite this acclaim, JBay is also the ideal location to tutor potential Billabong champs.

JBay is located at the start of the world renown Garden Route of South Africa between Port Elizabeth and Cape Town, this scenic route takes one through the Tsitsikamma forest and many private game reserves are a short trip away where one can view the big five. The Garden Route winds through many picturesque seaside towns and villages, the best known been Plettenberg Bay where one can explore the miles of uncrowned beaches.

Jeffreys Bay also hosts and enjoys some world-famous events. One such event is the Billabong Pro where local and international surfers converge in the ultimate challenge, which is the halfway point of the ASP World Tour, to rank the worlds number one male surfing champion.

Because Jeffreys Bay has gained such a strong reputation as a sort after tourist destination many backpackers and Bed & Breakfasts have sprung into being all over town. With them comes a sense of welcome that emanates from the entire town and community. To cater for all the tourists all the amenities that can be expected in a world class resort have also been established that cater to your every need. Not to mention world class sunshine and beaches.
