You are asking about Ponce de Leon. He actually wasn't looking for a fountain of youth ( this is another one of these fables that somehow became history). The original version of the fountain of youth came to Europe through India over a 1000 years before de Leon. Like most explorers of his time he was looking for a water route to Asia.
