Over the past couple of weeks, my real life has been a bit weird, and sometimes I just need to disconnect and find some peace. That’s where Second Life comes in. Because as soon as you log in, you enter a whole new world where you can travel to different destinations with just a click…

Meanwhile in Lunarville…
Welcome to the year 2052, where Planet Earth is suffering from a dire state. Meanwhile, the ultra-rich have migrated to the moon, specifically to a place called Lunarville. However, only a select 1% of them apparently managed to secure a spot in this exclusive lunar community. Lunarville is a funny and unique destination with a…
Welcome to the jungle: Elephant Island
Fun fact about elephants: Elephants have around 150,000 muscle units in their trunk. Their trunks are perhaps the most sensitive organ found in any mammal – Asian elephants have been seen to pick up a peanut, shell it, blow the shell out and eat the nut. Elephants use their trunks to suck up water to…
Christmas vacation at The Ritz
One of the best things to do in Second Life is going on an SL vacation! Yes, going to a home away from your virtual home. After a hectic time leading up to the premiere of Waarheid, and not to mention over two years of filming, Huck and I got a wonderful and generous surprise…
The Rock and trying out the 360 pics!
A few nights ago I spent an evening exploring the latest awesome creation by Justice and Six Vought : The Rock. The Rock is inspired by Alcatraz, the rather famous offshore prison in the San Francisco Bay, and it is great for exploring! I’ve never visited the real life version, but to be honest I…
The wheels of Drune Diesel City
Once again a superb Drune arrived in Second Life! I’ve been a fan of most of the Drune versions, though the real cyberpunk ones where my favorites – the one we filmed in for Stömol for instance. This time Hera (zee9.resident) gives us Drune – Diesel City, ‘Dieselpunk/Decopunk’ city. According to the explanation given by…
Planet Idun
The other week I explored Planet Idun, a Sci Fi jungle planet. Great for free form roleplay and photography. I took some pretty pics (if I may say so) and planned to return for some more exploring and information for a blogpost. So I did tonight, alas the region is closed, open only to certain…
White Binemust
Sunday evening, time to relax and prepare for another busy week. I’ve enjoyed White Binemust this evening before bed. A perfect serene, white world created by Bine Rodenberger. Have a great week! Slurl to Binemust
The Handmaiden Estate
While my country is in lockdown and now also has a curfew till at least 9 february, it’s a good thing we are able to travel the world in Second Life. I’ve done this for the past 13 years anyway, so in all fairness I do not feel all that much different with all the…
Cravone City
Some nights I just want to go to place and take pictures. Images to play around with in Photoshop (I am still learning!). It’s something I enjoy, both being in a cool place and finding objects or angles for a picture and afterwards trying out all kinds of stuff in Photoshop and see if the…
The Valley of the Pondering Eggs
Yes, you read that right: Pondering Eggs. In a valley. That is where I spent my Monday night and it was lovely! The Valley of the Pondering Eggs (A) is an installation by Num Bing-Howlett and Clifton Howlett, the creators of the Empire of Dreaming Books a while ago. The Pondering Eggs are huge, well…eggs….
Mystery Guests, a review of MAEVA Bora Bora
A few weeks ago Dirk Lemon, owner of the The SL Hotel Inspector website, asked me if I would like to do a review of one of Second Life’s luxury holiday resorts. Of course I was more than happy to do this, I love his website and who doesn’t like a vacation! Because a holiday…
A weekend trip to the Lotus Palace Retreat
Going on vacation in Second Life is really a thing. And also a thing I recommend to everyone in need of a few days of safe traveling. And aren’t we all? The other week Huckleberry Hax and I got invited by Ian Garrett (Beric01.resident) to stay the weekend in the new Lotus Palace Retreat. Ian…
Kidaka Resort, our vacation in Second Life
Have you ever been on an all inclusive holiday in Second Life? I haven’t. Well until this week! Huck surprised me with a fancy vacation to a luxury resort, the Kidaka Resort, where he booked a lodge in the wilderness for us. He only told me to pack for ‘safari’ and to take some days…
Don’t we all need a Breath of Nature?
The other night I was exploring and via lots of landmarks I found myself on a gorgeous sim: Breath of Nature. A place I could use in real life as well, specially after 12 weeks of lockdown! I don’t have much to tell today (I am not in a chatty mood), other than you will…
Endless on a Sunday morning
The snow has melted, the sun is out and I just got home from a lovely, long, walk with my dogs, my idea of a perfect start of a relaxed Sunday! The dogs have eaten and are taking their morning nap, so I went for some more walking; in Second Life! This walk is as…
