ABOUT THE AUTHOR Dahlia Jayaram began her Second Life in October, 2008. Part of her first few months were spent searching for the most beautiful and natural islands in SL. That endeavour led her to Crossing Currents Island, which she now shares with her partner, Lie Rang, developing and promoting island lifestyle products for MnM Designs.

After sailing around five of Second Life’s continents in late 2009, Dahlia wanted to have a travel adventure that would include all nine continents.

Thus, the Great Balloon Adventure was born and launched January 1, 2010.

Travel from the oldest continent of Sansara through the youngest continent of Zindra would result in a book for each of the nine continents, published at www.issuu.com/dahliajayaram.

From the earliest historical sims to ones constantly being renewed, Sansara combines the old and new.

This, the very first mainland, never gets old, nor too unfamiliar.
