20 years?! I think there's a "k" missing. According to <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milky_Way#Sun's_location_and_neighborhood>, the sun is 26 - 27 kly from the centre of the galaxy.
Or are you proposing FTL speeds?
20 years in the rest frame of the individual travelling there with continuous acceleration of 1g.
Obviously the stay at home twin will be long dead by then.
