ABOUT US

Our mission is to
empower you to
find and live
your best life

Yeah, we know the phrase “live your best life” gets thrown around a lot these days. For us, though, YourBestLife means so much more than photos or kale smoothies. We want to promote our vision of the real meaning of a person’s best life. And that is exactly why we’re called “YourBestLife”—challenge accepted.

No matter what you’re like or what you care about, if you really are living your best life, you’re living authentically, experiencing the wonderful variety and diversity of life. For us, “your best life” means a balanced existence: feeling accomplished at what you do, giving back to the world, and days that are filled with deep human connections.

Of course, different people’s best lives don’t all look the same. At YourBestLife, though, we work to realize our mission of human development through different kind of actions based on these three important pillars.

So, we develop and gather tools, actions, stories and Scholarships to drive you to find and keep living your own best life.

Our Manifesto

We deeply believe that traveling humanely opens our mind, and ultimately makes us better human beings, so we’re using travel as a tool and as a bridge from Self to Global awareness, helping us with our mission.

We are growing a movement of globally-minded Humanizers who are dedicated to making the world a better place. We first focus on each individual, connecting to a like-minded community, so then we can all Humanize our world.

YourBestLife was created by a real life-changer. Five years ago, HumanEyes started sharing stories from his adventures. Quickly, he concluded that every journey has one thing in common: a lesson to bring home. From his firsthand experience, HumanEyes absorbed what traveling did to him, the people he met and the people he inspired along the way.

Together with the YourBestLife team, HumanEyes wants to multiply these learnings and share it with other people, hoping to get the same positive impact on themselves, and exponentially multiply this World Change.
