Planning a family trip sounds fun—until you’re buried in logistics, group texts, and three different opinions on where to go. If you’re already overwhelmed, Canva’s AI tools might just save your sanity. Here’s how to use Magic Write to brainstorm ideas, build a custom itinerary, and design a travel plan everyone can agree on (or at least live with).

Use Canva Magic Write for Idea Generation and Trip Planning

If you need help deciding on the destination, Canva Magic Write can help you brainstorm trip ideas to refine your plan. 

One easy way to jump right in with this tool is directly from the Canva AI Trip Planner page, as outlined below.

1. Click the + (plus sign) to reveal the Quick Actions menu.

2. Select Magic Write from the options.

3. Enter a prompt in the box and click Generate.

4. If you like what you see, you can insert all the generated text by selecting the Insert button.

   Or, give it another go by opting for the More like this or This but buttons and refining your search.

5. Once you have the information you like, consider redesigning elements by opening the Quick Actions menu > Design > Templates.

6. From here, add elements such as photos, add additional pages, or apply other templates to your project.

Use and Customize a Trip Template With Canva AI

Another option for trip planning is to find a template you like first and organize your trip with Magic Write.

1. Select Templates from the Canva menu.

2. Enter something like travel itineraries in the search bar and press Enter.

   Alternatively, select Create a design and narrow the results by filtering to a template category.

3. Browse through the results and select Customize this template when you find one you like.

   For shareable, collaborative itineraries, a presentation template could be the best launching point.

4. Once you find a template you like, start plugging in the details that are relevant to your trip, including the itinerary details you liked from the AI Trip Planner and specifics like flight information and hotel and site links.

5. Use the Elements panel to search for and add photographs, graphics, tables, and more.

6. Once you like what you’ve created, select Share to invite others to contribute ideas or feedback.
