About This Blog

My name is Laura Alonso Amores, the person behind Cooking Up Amazing Trips. I’m passionate about travel and enjoy organising trips for myself and others.

I came up with the idea of writing this Blog after I got tired of being rejected by the ‘traditional’ travel industry.

Currently, I work as a ‘Planner’, proving my excellent planning and organisational skills.

I tried many times to work in the travel industry because I enjoy organising trips (for myself and others) as much as I enjoy travelling. However, I wasn’t even considered because I don’t have “professional travel experience”.

It’s funny because I know people in that sector who don’t even like travelling and won’t be able to advise about any destination. But they know how to use a software system to make the bookings. Apparently, they go first 😒

Travelling has always been my passion, and I want to help others travel too. So, if I can’t do it professionally, I’ll do it as a hobby.

That’s why I decided to create this Blog: to help others to plan their trips 😊

The name of the blog – Cooking Up Amazing Trips – relates to similarities to when you are cooking (which I like too) and the process of putting different parts together to get a fantastic outcome.

The purpose I follow with this blog is:

1. To make your life easier. The book guides sometimes give you too much information, and it is challenging to prioritise what to do. And if you go to a travel agency, they only book you what you tell them, without providing guidance. I’ll offer itineraries and recommendations (where to go and what to do) so you don’t have to research yourself.
2. Show you how to go to your dreamy place, even if you think it’s out of your hands.
3. Share my experiences and inspire you to travel.

This blog is orientated toward busy people who like travelling and having unique experiences but prefer to spend their time wisely. Those who want well-organised trips without breaking the budget.

Here, you’ll have everything you need to plan your trip in just one place. And why not save money at the same time? 🤑

Let’s face it; only some privileged people have unlimited time to travel the world. Most mortals (like me) can only do it during their entitled annual leave. And how many days are those, 20-25 a year (if you are lucky)?

If, like me, you dislike joining organised groups because they tend to take you to places that are not of interest, or you prefer to go at your own pace, but at the same time, you would rather not waste your valuable time while you are at your destination, then you need a plan.

And planning a trip involves a lot of research. There is a lot of information online, but it can be overwhelming. If you don’t have time to search hundreds of websites or long pages with many details that you don’t need, this is your place. We all have busy lives, so I’ll be concise!

So, to sum up, I’m writing this blog to help you plan your next adventure and save you time.

Let’s get started! Here there are a few things that might interest you:

2. Get inspired by my Destinations
