47: Centenarians Are Avid Travelers<br />
“Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed <strong>by</strong> the things<br />
you didn’t do than <strong>by</strong> the ones you did do. So throw <strong>of</strong>f the bowlines,<br />
sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.<br />
Explore. Dream. Discover.” -- Mark Twain, author and humorist<br />
(November 30, 1835 – April 21, 1910)<br />
Centenarians love adventure. Many still travel cross-country or even<br />
around the world to visit, compete or explore. Even if they are unable<br />
to travel as much as they used to, they have reaped the benefits <strong>of</strong><br />
decades <strong>of</strong> exploration. Travel is great mental stimulation and seems<br />
to bring a perspective to life and an appreciation for others that has<br />
immense longevity benefits.<br />
“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and<br />
many <strong>of</strong> our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad,<br />
wholesome, charitable views <strong>of</strong> men and things cannot be acquired<br />
<strong>by</strong> vegetating in one little corner <strong>of</strong> the earth all one's lifetime.” --<br />
