The story of this website
Cast your minds back to September 2020, when we were six months into the pandemic. It was a challenging time for almost all of us, with various restrictions in place, including a stop to most international travel.
It was depressing and worrying. Then, one night, a friend made a spur-of-the-moment suggestion that we take a vacation to the Timor Islands.
When we arrived, I was astonished. Here was a Balinese-style resort that actually mimicked the experience of staying in an RL equivalent. I had no idea that places like this existed. I started looking more closely, and it turned out that it wasn’t an isolated example.
That led to a lightbulb moment for me. If I can't travel in RL, why not at least do it in SL? Along the way, I'll review the places I stay at as a kind of journal.
Having started this as a personal project and as a bit of pandemic therapy, I didn't expect much, but it started to gain traction to the point where it now regularly has 5000+ hits a month.
