Sym "Symbiosis" Blanchard has had so many adventures in his 66 years, including:

  • Hiking half of Madagascar
  • Walking El Camino de Santiago
  • Thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail and Pacific Crest Trail (as a section-hiker)
  • Hiked half of the Continental Divide Trail (and plans to do the rest)
  • Hiked the Annapurna Circuit.
  • Swam across a river in Madagascar
  • Hiked to Everest Base Camp
  • Hitchhiked all over the planet
  • Biked across America
  • Cruised in Garrison Keillor ships 
  • And much more

Sym knows a ton about longevity. He shares his secrets. In the 2nd half of the conversation, we do a deep-dive in health and how to become a centenarian. 

This is the 20th episode of the WanderLearn podcast and I wanted to celebrate with an epic and entertaining conversation.
