Traverse has 12 residents, 2 of whom, Alex and May, are the creators of the island. May is giving TagBackTV a tour of her incredible island. For starters, the island has a nice and compact seating area, a fruit stall for apples, and a somewhat terrifying T-Rex skeleton near the museum’s entrance. Next to the seating area and behind the Able Sisters’ shop is a small eatery serving pizza. Nook’s Cranny is right beside, with a well-decorated diner in the back and front of it is a boardwalk where bicycles are parked.

Across the street is a resident’s house with a patio and a pool in the backyard to relax. There is also a dog park with two dog houses adjacent to the street. Moreover, a fountain is placed among the trees in the riverside. Across the river are extensive gardens full of flowers and greenery with a dedicated area for beekeeping. Amidst all that, is an area for birthday parties. Next to it are some more fruit stalls with a small pond in the middle. Alex’s house is nearby with a nicely decorated front yard. That is more or less the eastern side of the island.

Switching over to the western side, behind the museum is an outdoor area where some plants and bugs are on display for sale. Next to the museum is a beach with a monolithic Easter Island statue at one end. The other end has a tiny space for tea parties to enjoy the sunset on the beach. Some of the residents’ houses are nearby with trees and fencing. The central portion of the map hosts another garden. It is a zen garden with composed arrangements of rocks, water features, trees, flowers, as well as a gong in the middle.

Just like the rest of the map, May has carefully planned and decorated the interior with thorough details.
