Farthest points you've traveled

[DubWolf 17,213]

This isn't really a matter of where you've been, but rather how far you have been. The question is how far you've traveled from home going in all four cardinal directions; North, South, East, and West. You can include intermediate directions like Northwest if you feel like.

 

Also include where you live if you don't mind (you can write the continent if you really don't want to tell us! :comeatus: ).

 

You can include where you've visited (spent a decent amount of time at) and include where you've been (i.e., an airport for your connecting flight).

 

For myself, living in Austin, Texas:

 

North: Frankfurt (airport), Germany; Prague, Czech Republic (to be replaced by Aarhus, Denmark!)

South: Acapulco, Mexico

East: Budapest, Hungary

West: Phoenix, Arizona

 

Disclaimer: aside from Acapulco, I've been to these places all within the last 4 years (I haven't traveled much). I've traveled very little within the US.

 

Also, if you have traveled far enough West that you passed your farthest East point by a small bit (unlikely but possible), you can say you've traveled along every single longitude line, or just indicate up to what point you stopped traveling in that direction.

 

You can use this map as a reference (you may want another map if you need to zoom in or need a more specific map):

I've only been to one place where I traveled far, but even that's nothing compared to most of my friends. XD

 

East: Long Beach to San Francisco

[Harmonic Revelations 8,835]

For a point of reference, the farthest you can ever go from anything on Earth is 12,715.43 km because that's the Earth's diameter, which isn't very far in the grand scheme of things.

 

Personally I haven't traveled outside of my state because I'm too poor to travel (My fear of planes doesn't help).

North: New York City, probably.

South: Albuquerque, New Mexico

West: Hawaii (Maui)

East: New York

 

EDIT: Some friends and I are working on a senior graduation trip to Japan this June, so that'll move my west record by a couple hundred miles (and a few time zones)

I've traveled from New York to Virginia, that's only trip I made only in the states.

 

South: Virginia

 

That is about it.

[TheMarkz0ne 962]

I live in New Hampshire. So Farthest north was Maine. Farthest down south was Bradenton, FL

[Frostgage 7,975]

When we lived in Massachusetts when I was younger, we went to Disney World most summers, which is both my farthest south and west.

 

North is either London (where I live now) or Amsterdam, East is when I was in Prague for a baseball tournament.

[Seaweed-Headed Dragon 359]

Now the furthest by car is Seattle, Washington...Crossing the USA by car :3

[N.W. 3,619]

East: Hungary! 

West: Costa Rica!

South: Also Costa Rica !

North: Germany!

I was born in India, and now I live in the US, so I guess that's my answer =P

 

Within the US, though (since I've spent most of my life here), the farthest I've been is either Florida or Missouri (from New York).

[Envy 6,129]

North: Cleveland, Ohio

South: Orlando, Florida

East: Washington D.C./Baltimore, Maryland (don't remember which one was furthest to the East)

West: Los Angeles, California - more like the Simi Valley area to the Northwest of it. (Oddly enough, I've never set foot in between there and Oklahoma)

 

So I've never been outside of the country. I'm also pretty sad that Cleveland is as far North as I've been.

[An Old Head 4,816]

I like this thread idea. ^^

North: I haven't actually been very far north. Manchester UK for BUCK 2013 is the farthest I've gone, and that's only about 400km from my homeplace of London.

 

South: Xixona, Spain, in the summer of 2011.

 

West: Manhattan, New York. I'm actually not sure if the hotel in New Jersey we stayed in is further west, but they're most likely the same anyway. Summer of 2006.

 

East: A coastal part of Italy, forgot the name. We went there because we were in Nice, France, and it was a short drive away.

The farthest I've ever traveled is from my home in Northeast Indiana to Fort Worth Texas. Fort Worth is a very nice place, actually. Perfect to go to in the Summertime.

The farthest East I've been is Rochester, Minnesota (1,140 miles away). The farthest North and West I've been is Prince Edward Island (about the same).

 

My trip to PEI was by van and took about 24 hours given all the stops we made along the way. I flew to Rochester, which although a much shorter trip in length of time, the mileage was more because I had a layover in Atlanta, Georgia. So I reckon the farthest South I've been is there if you want to count it, although I didn't even leave the airport.

 

I live in Mechanicsville, Virginia. In the U S of A.

[Finish Line 1]

Furthest west I've ever traveled wasn't even that far west. I think the furthest I've been would be from Newport, RI (north) to San Juan, Puerto Rico (south and east), and from there to Coos Bay, OR (west).

[Tigerpop198 696]

New Brunswick,Canada to the Philippines. Yes multiple very long plane rides.
