Pro Tip: The goal is to maximize both scores! High vibes + high longevity = GOD TIER travel 🏆
📊 The Four Quadrants
🏆 GOD TIER - High vibes, high longevity
e.g., Tuscany cycling, Costa Rica yoga
💀 DEATH WISH - High vibes, low longevity
e.g., Ibiza parties, Bali scooters
🔥 LITERAL HELL - Low vibes, low longevity
e.g., Desert raves, unsafe hostels
🛌 NURSING HOME - Low vibes, high longevity
e.g., All-inclusive resorts, cruise buffets
Data Sources: WHO, Global Burden of Disease (GBD), CDC, and real-world safety statistics
