  So... March 2008! Look out for the heads up! Can't wait!!!!

Finally, a site with a mission I like... that is... to make people happy!

How, you ask? Read on...

Five things that make people happy:*

Self-Expression - Pursue the things that give us the "high" in life - skiing, snowboarding, mountain climbing, sky diving, writing poetry.... Many of us put this off, but its the fuel we need most to be happy creatures! We want to help you pursue your hobbies in cool places and meet cool friends. We're hoping you can make this happen on our site!

Groups - Join groups wherever you can! Whether through us or in your community. This is where you can meet people with like-minded interests!

Volunteer - Help others! You can help others by sharing your experiences on our site. We all connect through our communication. You never know who you'll meet just by sharing an amazing trip you were on. Our platform will help you meet and share your experiences that can lead to lifelong friendships.

Higher calling - Listen to your environment and discover your higher calling! Many of us know that when we are in a new environment, we feel more alive! The volume on our senses is turned up. We are suddenly in tune with our new environment and ideas and inspirations come our way. This happens around meeting new people or reading a good book. Keep your mind open and your higher calling will come to you! Perhaps a retreat planned through Viscape will help you discover your higher calling!

Friendship - That's right! You can use Viscape to meet new friends with common interests, and we want you to! The more you share, the more you will get out of the Viscape experience! The more people you will meet, the more fun you will have.

Repeat!

Yes - our goal is to make people really really happy! So happy, you're giddy! So be giddy!
