Stories from the group
Updated 26 October 2026
Stories from the group is the journal of Senada Phinisi: notes for people organising a Komodo trip together. It opens with what a phinisi is and the 2027 school-holiday weeks.
The latest stories
The journal opens with two stories. The first explains what a phinisi is, in plain words, for the relative who asks what exactly the group has booked. The second looks at the 2027 school-holiday weeks and how a group books around them.
Each story is written for the person who organises, and a story about a real trip appears with the guests' permission.

What this journal is for
It is for the person who organises. The group chat has forty messages by evening and one question at the bottom: who is keeping track of the plan? This journal collects the answers we give again and again, so the organiser can paste a link and not rewrite a paragraph.
It is not a review page. The planning guides are separate, and they hold the numbers. These stories hold the people: who sat where, who climbed, who sang.
If your group has a story to tell, write to us after the trip. We publish it under your first name only when you say we can.
