The story of this website

Cast your mind back to September 2020, six months into the pandemic. Travel was off the table. Most of the world was under restrictions, and like many others, I was more than a little demoralised.

One night, a friend suggested we visit a now-closed SL destination called Timor Islands. I had no expectations and was just blown away. Here was a Balinese-style resort that genuinely felt like a real-world escape.

That was the lightbulb moment. If I couldn’t travel in real life, why not explore Second Life and review the places I stayed in, like a virtual travel journal? No one else seemed to be doing this, so why not me? And perhaps along the way I could help others make similar discoveries.

What began as a personal pandemic project has grown steadily. I never imagined anyone else would care, but the site now draws around 5,000 visits a month, and continues to evolve.
