The last time I explored destinations they were very remote and deserted so this time I decided to explore places full of life! In today's blog-post I will document my experiences after meeting three other avatars in this virtual reality world, I chose destinations that had a few people already there as my experiences would be more interesting and memorable.

Japan, Hiroba.
Of course I had to visit this place! The destination was by far the most interesting. At this destination I met another avatar and we had a nice chat about who we were and why we were both on SecondLife. She explained to me she struggles with anxiety and felt SecondLife was the place she could come to, to interact with others as she struggles in real life. We explored Hiroba together and even sat on the Ferris wheel for a few moments, enjoying the destination from 50ft above.
Backdrop City.
I expected this place to be a lively spot but instead it seemed like a small island with a few people relaxing by the sea. I introduced myself to people and everyone was engaging in conversation. Everyone in the group was friendly and explained how Backdrop City was their favorite place to come to. Some felt it was a destination where they could unwind and forget the struggles of everyday life out in the real world. Many of the avatars at this destination have been using SecondLife for a couple of years and were surprised when I had told them I haven't been using SecondLife that long.

1920s Chicago.
Chicago was very quiet I only came across one other person here. He was shy and didn't engage much in conversation. Although he was friendly and polite, the conversation didn't last long. We explored this 1920s themed city together and enjoyed the views of the quiet city. Our interaction was quite short but pleasant. This city was my last stop to visit this week!
