89. if you travel a lot...
Maybe this is TMI but there is a group of people who backpack as it were around the globe with only one or two changes of clothes and presumably if you are in this group, while you might have a great time while you're here, it seems unlikely that you'll live as long as if you'd stayed home in a quiet place far away from dangerous beaches where people die from shark attacks, hurricanes, and alcohol abuse, and the whole party lifestyle.

Also, if you are just plain on the street and this is why you're wearing the same clothes for two weeks street, well, it's a given that street people don't live as long as the housed because of lack of access to shelter, decent food, and health care.

So I think it's a fair question.
