While describing the itineraryof pilgrimage, he was focused on contemporary issues e.g. social interactions, economy or surroundingnature which was an innovative approach. Orphan managed to collect information not only about theHoly Land but also about local residents and their customs while following the route described by guidesfrom Jerusalem.Artefact created by Orphan can be associated with work of contemporary journalists.
