Turning Trip Planning Into Cloning Someone Else's Great Itinerary
Voya replaces the blank page with real, day-by-day itineraries other travelers have already published. Clone one, make it yours, and publish your own for others to follow.
Executive Summary
Most trip planning starts one of two ways: a blank page, or a generic "top 10 things to do" list that reads the same for every city. Neither one tells you what a real day of the trip actually looks like.
The problem: travelers plan from scratch or from recommendation lists that don't reflect a real, workable day-by-day route, and sharing a plan with friends usually means a messy doc or a scattered group chat.
What we built: Voya, a social travel app where people discover real itineraries other travelers have published, clone any trip into their own drafts, customize it for their own dates and style, and publish it for others to clone in turn.
The result: "no spreadsheets required," delivered through a discover feed, a clone-and-customize workflow, and a day-by-day builder that turns planning into adapting, not building from zero.

Built for travelers who'd rather adapt a real trip than build one from a blank page.
The Problem
Open any trip-planning app or blog and the same pattern shows up: generic advice, no real day-by-day structure, and nothing you can actually reuse.
- Planning usually starts from a blank page or a list of attractions with no real order or flow.
- "Top 10" recommendation lists don't tell you what a workable day actually looks like.
- There's no easy way to take a friend's, or a stranger's, proven itinerary and make it your own.
- Sharing a trip plan with travel companions usually means a spreadsheet, a doc, or a scattered thread.
None of this is a lack of travel inspiration. It's a lack of a real, reusable starting point.
Before and After
Planning from scratch means guessing at a route nobody's actually tested.
Start from a route someone's already walked, not a blank page.
Core Features
Built around real itineraries as the unit of planning, not attractions or checklists.
Browse real trips, then make one yours
The discover feed surfaces featured and community-published itineraries, searchable by destination. Any trip can be cloned straight into your own drafts.
- Discover feed, searchable by destination
- One-tap clone into personal drafts
- Customize dates, places, and notes after cloning
Build in days, not in bullet points
Every itinerary is organized day by day, with places, maps, cover photos, and notes. Publishing turns it into something the next traveler can clone and follow.
- Places, maps, cover photos, and notes per day
- Publish & share via a single link
- Follow creators to see their newest published trips
How It Works
Browse real itineraries
Search the discover feed by destination for trips real travelers have published.
Save it to your drafts
One tap copies the full itinerary, days, places, and notes, into your own draft.
Make it fit your trip
Adjust dates, swap stops, and add your own notes for each day.
Share it forward
Publish with a link, and the next traveler can open, follow, and clone it too.
Why It Matters
- Planning starts from something real and workable, not a blank page.
- Sharing a trip with friends means a link they can open and clone, not a spreadsheet.
- Travelers who publish routes become creators others follow, and real testimonials from cloners already appear on the app's landing page.
