This week’s episode goes straight to the heart of why lifelong travel doesn’t just feel good — it works. The National Institute on Aging and the National Institutes of Health have both done long-term studies showing that people who travel regularly live longer, stronger, healthier lives. I’m not making this up — this is geroscience!

Why?

1. You move more. New places = more walking, more exploring, more steps. Those muscles? They will thank you.
2. Your brain lights up. Novelty builds neural pathways. Travel is like a spa day for your neurons.
3. Confidence skyrockets. When you navigate foreign streets or a cruise ship with 5,000 strangers, you crush that “I’m too old” nonsense.
4. You fight back against internalized ageism. When society treats you as fragile, you start acting that way — unless you’re a traveler. Travelers push back, expand, reclaim their vitality.

Travelers are physically stronger, cognitively sharper, emotionally more resilient, and — get this — even fare better during life’s storms. To me, travel is the ultimate longevity secret.
