As you land on the dock and your eyes adjust to the view unfolding before you, you realize that this sim offers a scenic view and a break from the chaos. A steady concoction of landscapes inspired by off-the-beaten-path beauties of Real Life- Meraki Moment was set up as art imitating life itself. Keeping the explorers and photographers of SL in mind, Kanika decided to offer a place that would offer the best of both worlds. A little world above and below the water surrounding it, Meraki Moments gives you the tingle you feel like a traveler. From the Hakkaido Pond by the red trees to the underwater scene hidden behind it to the lush lavender fields with a glorious sunset for a backdrop, we invite you to explore this sim and the many wonders it has to offer. The sim also has a dedicated Flickr Group to share your pictures from the sim on and an inworld group you can join to rez your items to make your photographs stand out. Hope to see you there!

Touring SL’s Breathtaking Locations- Lanai Jarrico Reporting...

At the Hollywood Airport awaiting my pilot

Second Life is a place of enchantment and wonder if you take the time to explore. The grid is full of creativity, some of which makes me stop in awe at the beauty that surrounds me. Let’s take a tour of some of the breathtaking views and replicated monuments I have come across while exploring.

Tempura Island

Japan- Tempura Island

This has got to be one of my favorite places when it comes to scenic landscapes. It has stood the test of time in Second Life due to its creativity and relaxing atmosphere with great traffic. Built in 2004, this magnificent location also has a golden corridor leading to the grand ballroom. Perfect for romantic dates.

If you haven't been to Tempura Island, it is a must see.

Romantic Gardens and Art gallery

Romantic Gardens and Art Gallery

Owned by The Wandering Group, this location is absolutely gorgeous. Upon landing you are whisked away by the calming sounds as your eyes wander around a beautifully design landscape. From an abundance of  vibrant foliage and a stunning waterfall feeding a shimmering lake, It is the perfect location for a romantic date, exploring, photography or just meditating. Don’t forget to check out the art on display in the gallery.

Lady Liberty

The Statue of Liberty

This Statue is a national monument and a symbol of Freedom and Liberty.  She was a gift given to the United States from France; officially unveiled in a dedication ceremony by President Grover Cleveland in 1886. It is nice to see real world monuments replicated in Second Life. Created by Liberty Tesla, It gives sl residents from all over the world an opportunity to take a virtual tour of something real. If you have never been to the real Statue of Liberty in New York, take some time to visit it in Second life.

on the Nile River

Ancient Egypt/Amarna

I have always been fascinated by ancient history and artifacts found all over the world. They give us a window to peek into and discover interesting things about our past. In Second Life you can teleport to another time and place, like when the Pyramids were being constructed. Explore this ancient Egyptian village along the Nile and imagine what it must have been like.

Macchu Picchu

Macchu Picchu 3D- The Legendary Inca Village

Machu Picchu has always been one of my favorite ancient sites to read about or watch on documentaries. What interests me the most is how on earth was this village constructed at such a high altitude with such precision. it’s absolutely amazing what our ancient ancestors were capable of.  To see a replica in Second life really got me excited. It truly is a site to marvel at.

Taj Mahal

Taj Mahal

The Taj Mahal is a great symbol of Love. It is a mausoleum built in 1648 from ivory-white marble  located in the Indian City of Agra. It is the final resting place for Emperor Shah Jahan’s favorite wife Mumtaz Mahal.  Be sure to put this place in your SL travel Itinerary.
