Follow a linden path, or simply cross into neighbouring sims.
Look at the links and picks in the profile of someone around me, and go there.
Pick a word of interest to put into the search function, and see what comes up.
Have a look at the big map and see if there is anything that looks interesting in the group of sims around, then zap there.
With the last method, I started finding something interesting, I started finding a lot of 'empty' sims. Curious, I started going to have a look, and found that they belonged to the Lindens, and they were rarely empty. All around costal areas you can spot them, empty water places, but once you arrive you see plants, sea animals, and water craft that ended up on the bottom of the sea. If you are really lucky, you will find a special building or a few treasure chests. It pays to check anthing interesting you come across, as there can be a few things that you can take a copy of, including some of the plant and animal life that is all around you.
