Duncan, Ben, Dave and Jonnie are a group of young men who travel the world under the alias “The Buried Life.” They travel the world in hopes of changing people’s lives by asking one simple question: “What do you want to do before you die?”

Travelling in a [purple bus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-friendship-bus), The Buried Life crosses off things on their own lists, which are as simple as screaming at the top of their lungs, or learning how to sail.

Check out their inspiring video and their website to see when they’ll be dropping by your city.
