Notes from the road
What a destination gives back, what changes a night, and what is worth the journey.
Longevity travel without a clinic: what a place does
Almost everything written about longevity travel describes a clinic. That is one way to do it, and a good one. It is not the only one, and for a family travelling together it is rarely the practical one.
Jet lag is a light problem: the long-haul protocol
A study published in SLEEP in April 2025 followed 60,000 trips and 1.5 million nights. It found something most travellers get wrong: you sleep enough again long before you sleep properly again.
How to audit the bedroom you will sleep in
A hotel is sold on its lobby, a villa on its pool, a yacht on its sundeck. All three are photographed at their best. The room where you will spend a third of the stay is photographed with the curtains open.
Luxury villa with a gym: how to spot a real one
A gym is now a filter on every rental platform. It is a yes or no box, which is why it tells you almost nothing about whether you will be able to train.
Sauna and cold plunge: order, duration, evidence
Contrast therapy has gone from Nordic habit to global fixture in about five years. The habit is older than the trend, and so is the evidence.
Training on a yacht: what works at anchor
A yacht is the most controlled environment in travel and the least documented one for anybody who trains. Movement, heat and where you spend the night change everything.
Where to go month by month to train and to sleep
A destination is not good or bad in a given month. It is usable or unusable depending on what you plan to do there, and that is a different question.
Keeping your VO2 max and your HRV through a stay
A cohort of 122,007 patients published in JAMA Network Open in 2018 found all-cause mortality falling with cardiorespiratory fitness with no observed ceiling. That is the case for protecting it during a stay. It is not a case for training hard on holiday.
Ten questions to judge a longevity stay
The category has grown fast enough that the word now travels faster than the work behind it. That is normal, it happens to every category, and it is easy to see through with ten questions.
