TRIPS AND HOLIDAYS
Family trips, from the first idea to a shared memory
The castle idea arrived in a chat, the lookout tower sits in one parent’s bookmarks and the zoo waits for “when we have time”. Rodinka gives trip ideas one place you can actually set off from — and the whole family decides where to go.
DIRECT ANSWER
How can a family plan a trip that everyone gets a say in?
In Rodinka the family collects trip and holiday ideas as they come up — pasting a link is enough. A few ideas become a trip plan, everyone in the family votes on each one, and an adult turns the chosen idea into a calendar event in one step. After the trip, it can become a family memory.
TRIPS AND HOLIDAYS
There are plenty of ideas. They just need to last until the weekend
Trip ideas turn up at random: a link from a friend, an article, a tip at the school gate. When a free Saturday finally comes, nobody remembers where they wanted to go, and the decision starts from scratch.
A family trip is not one person’s decision either. The children want the zoo, one parent wants a castle and the other needs to know whether it fits into a day. A shared idea backlog and a simple vote turn the argument in the car into a plan made in advance.
An idea from a link
Someone sends a link to an interesting place. Paste it into Rodinka and the idea has a title, a preview and a spot on the map.
A free weekend
Turn a few ideas into a trip plan with rough dates, and the family votes on what they like.
Back home
Tap Been there and turn the trip into a family memory with a photo and a date.

How Rodinka helps with family trips
Trip ideas and plans are one place for the whole family. Everyone can see them and react; planning and adding to the calendar stay with the adults.
- 1
Save ideas as they come
A day trip or a holiday, with a link, a place and a short note. Browse the idea backlog as cards or on a map, and when nobody can decide, Rodinka picks a random idea.
- 2
Build a trip plan
A plan has a name, rough dates, an area and the ideas you picked. One idea can belong to several plans, and an active plan can be pinned to the Today screen.
- 3
Let the family vote
Everyone gives each idea in the plan a vote: like, neutral or dislike. An adult then turns the chosen idea into an event in the family calendar in one step.

Keep what you lived
After the trip, mark it Been there and Rodinka offers to save it as a family memory — with the title, date and place already filled in.
Common questions about planning family trips
How do we pick a trip everyone is happy with?
Collect a few ideas in advance and let everyone vote. When the decision does not rest on one person, the trip is more likely to work for children and adults alike — and the debate does not move into the car.
Where should we keep ideas for days out with the kids?
In one place the whole family can see. In Rodinka, pasting a link saves the idea with a preview, so ideas do not get lost in chat or in the bookmarks of one phone.
Does Rodinka handle itineraries, bookings or transport?
No. A trip plan is deliberately light: dates, area, ideas and votes. There is no hour-by-hour schedule, no bookings and no tickets — but the chosen idea becomes an ordinary event in the family calendar.
Can children vote too?
Yes. The whole family can see ideas and plans, and every member with their own sign-in can vote and react on ideas in a plan. Creating, editing and adding to the calendar stay with the adults.
