Features: Writing, who doesn't want to break free from the ordinary structure of travelogues and add a personal touch. Pouring more of oneself into the writing, striving to convey genuine emotions. Additionally, the author attempts to reflect on the literary scene, cultural environment, and social trends he encountered—all based on his personal experiences, still embedded in his observations of people and places. The focus is on the emotions of the moment rather than abstract theories. The author has experienced various feelings while traveling abroad: tension, fatigue, hardship, but also joy. He is a person who enjoys stability and tranquility, yet longs for movement—movement in color, sound, language, scenery, and faces, all of which attract him. Long-distance travel is a significant form of movement in personal life, with both the body and the mind in motion, making impressions particularly vivid and thoughts more flexible. During such times, it is hard not to feel the urge to write something as a testament to future memories, which is how the travelogues presented here came to be.
