Like many people in Second Life, it took me a while to explore the world and discover myself. I learned much about my strengths and weaknesses, what my talents and interests were, who I was and wasn't ready to be, and what challenges I wanted to take on. It has been an exciting journey discovering new people, places and things, making new friends, and experiencing a diverse range of activities that make having a Second Life so entertaining, revealing, and rewarding.

Bragging rights: I have distinguished myself with a few notable adventurous achievements, if not outright Second Life world records (that I wish others would attempt just for the sheer pleasure of experiencing them):

> Arguably the first person to circumnavigate by sail boat the five mainland continents connected by a single body of water (Aug.–Oct. 2009).

> The only person to hot air balloon through every* mainland continent and document the epic adventure in a series of free to read online books. (*begun Jan.2010; as of 2013 on continent 9 out of 10)

> Undoubtedly the only person to ever distance swim the entire east/west span of Second Life's mainland (multiple times), from off the western coast of the Satori continent to the far eastern shores of SL Norway. (Jan.2013)

> Paraglided from eastern Gaeta V through three quarters of Corsica.
