# Travel Stories Over the years, I have often spent time reflecting on which aspects of travel I enjoy the most. What should first come to mind when discussing my experiences? What kind of story do I wish to tell that encapsulates what I care about? These kinds of questions really made me ponder in the planning and post-trip stages. Of course, travel can be purely for enjoyment, so it's perfectly acceptable not to overexert one's mind. However, there are times when I feel the need to justify my reasons for traveling, especially when I dedicate significant time and resources to it. And the storywriting exercise helps me assess how much value I derive from them. So far, I have primarily written for personal notes, but I'm currently trying to write some public ones. Will try to share more here when I feel ready. For now, feel free to check my Biak trip's blog [post](https://travelearn.substack.com/p/penjala-kata) for an example.
