You hit on a couple key things to living long here: smiling, walking and sleeping. If you do these things regularly you will live longer as learned in the Blue Zones.

@Lutzi: We are so glad that you found us in Thorsten's book and that that you took time to leave us a comment. Thank you very much for the good life wishes and stability...we could use that from time to time! Which were the nicest places that we have visited? This is a good question. Difficult to say, but some places that left really left an impression, include: Kyrgyzstan Burma (Myanmar) Republic of Georgia Bolivia Guatemala

@Mariellen: I couldn’t agree more with your comment about taking to travel (and life) by being open, curious, respectful and non-judgmental. It’s amazing the nuances and stories you’ll learn in the process of being open and listening. So enriching.

Enjoyed your list — and especially how it covers the mundane to the profound! But I have to say, I’m so glad you mentioned #6: The world is not a place for black and white. You can get so much more out of your travels — and life! — by being open, curious, respectful and non-judgemental towards people and their culture. When you think you’re right, you shut yourself off from the myriad of colours of the world.

@Paul: You are so right how travel tunes your observational skills and ability to notice and appreciate the little things. Then, you want to question and understand why things are the way they are. We find that when we return to the States and spend time with family/friends we are still in the travel mode of pointing everything out.
