We are a movement of people «High on Life» that loves to travel, explore, get connected with different cultures and live all the experiences of our life with a positive attitude!
We believe that young people must become a driving force in building the society in which they live and therefore we create various opportunities in order to help shape a generation that is determined to change our country and the world for the better.

Someone who is HIGH ON LIFE can find reasons to smile in the smallest things, and won’t let any random thing ruin his or her day.

Our aim is to create this “feeling” on most of youth worldwide, let them understand how amazing life is!

Green Detox – connect with nature and learn offline skills
The mission of the project is to provide a new way of approaching life, an approach fully focused on the connection with ourselves and the nature that surrounds us.
Staying at home chatting prevents people from exploring the world, as if today’s youths associate their own house as the safest place on earth while what’s outside feels like a jungle. But we want this vision to change, we want to create inclusion through real human connections and the rediscovery of nature.
What we want to address is that every person can invest the time they waste behind a screen by doing something more exciting and fulfilling. We want to promote the importance of embracing self-control on time management, and shift the current bad habit into new good habits.
