It can be any world, except mine. :)

The idea is for you to *play the part* of tourist in that world, but you don't actually have to be a tourist.

Minethere, a lot of people have chosen to make their worlds accessible to people like yourself by paying for your time in their world.

To find them, look at the worlds that appear in the first few pages of Search (after the ones with people in them, I mean). They stretch from Ener Hax's Hackers Sleepless City as far as Reba Rives' Secret Garden. That is nearly 40 General or Moderate worlds you could choose from.

Click on any of them, and check below the big blue button. If it says FREE, it means it won't cost you anything in terms of KC or minutes. So you can explore them without worrying.

Tourista Report-))

Upon landing in Serenity Island I notice [being a terraformer-))] the nice ground textures. Very pretty to my eyes.

There is an information area and I especially recommend getting the Attribution notecard. I notice a place I get sounds from often, freesound.org. Lawrence has been exhaustive in making sure all content is well noted and credit given. From particles by Jopsy to Linda's often used and seen opensim items. Information is in English and [forgive me if I am wrong I am just a dumb Texan] in Spanish.

A very nice teleporter script is used and I whisked msyelf up to 300 meters to the Space Port in Sky City. Instructions boards give hints on how to best experience the area.

I walk though a tube to the end and touch a teleporter and end up at 2019 m in the Space Station orbiting Mother Earth, with wispy clouds rolling over it.

As I get my bearings, I walk around the place a bit and find another teleporter that brings me back to Sky City in front of a nice bank of teleporter choices. I choose the Moonbeam Cafe - Cafe del Rayo de Luna, in Sky City also. As I enjoy my sugar-free Blended Drink, I think that yes, I will indeed need to return to Serenity Island, there is much, much more to see & do.

I didn't even realize there was a way to upload attachments. I've been using the Img tag with links to images posted to snapzilla (SLU).
