Echo Blakewell has been in the Second Life virtual-sphere for nearly 4 years, after having been encouraged to join because, “once you see the decorating and landscaping you can do, you’ll be obsessed,” and that turned out to be very true! Echo spends her second life with her family, landscaping and decorating to her heart’s content. Between that, she loves to blog/take photos, dance, make new friends, and explore nature-esque sims, which is how she found TNC! Finally feeling like she could reflect her love of nature and the outdoors in RL, she was excited to find how she could help be a part of this collective, to see it continue to thrive.
