In today's fast paced world, where the crossover between work and leisure time has become increasingly blurred, and just finding enough of a window in your day to plan new and exciting things to do has become a challenge, it struck us that people might find a definitive guide to life's best experiences both useful and interesting. Our vision was to replace the time invested ploughing through countless City guides, travel books and magazines with a singular world wide web forum where the earth's best experiences could be raised and reviewed, not just by an editor and his team (although we do have very good ones), but by everyone.

Every single one of our experiences are freely available for you to post your findings back on and hopefully inspire (or not - depending on your review!) someone else or a group of people to try. If you think we are missing a life affirming moment then simply suggest it to us and we'll send someone to check it out. Over and above all we want to help you get the most out of life and live it to the full.

To help us bring all these great experiences to you, we've been lucky enough to find a great sponsor in Chivas Regal Scotch Whisky, who share our philosophy as to how life should be lived - with friends, enjoying great times together.

So, that's what ThisIsTheLife is about, now get browsing and reviewing and above all spend a little more time contemplating how best to enjoy saying: "This is the Life."
