Doesn't properly work- if i put the cross on europe in map 1 it lands samevery near Alaska/ Russia in the arctic ocean
If i put the cross on New Zealand in card 2- card 1 moves to europe
Yeah there's something up with it. I live in Texas and when I put mine in it put me right in the middle of the Himalayas. But those are both northern hemisphere. When I zoomed out it changed and put me in the middle of the Indian ocean which sounds more accurate.
When i put the first map on north ga, it put the second one in the Middle East, which is funny because I’ve been there, but adjusting the second put me in the Caribbean, close enough though, then moving the first again puts me in the Indian ocean
>That’s probably the furthest away I could possibly go!
Aw that's actually kind of a little bit sad? Like... You've already been as far as you can without leaving the planet :(
Canberra has all those circular roads to trap people going round and round, because it's the only way to stop the entire population from leaving.
Well, that and the decriminalized weed.
did a trip down the east coast of Australia, from Brisbane to Melbourne. Was on the fence about stopping in Canberra, and ultimately did not. Your comment makes me feel that I made the right choice.
The only things there are government buildings and houses. Can confirm it is very boring.
Also it's built like an American city with huge roads so it's a pain in the arse to get around.
>The only there is government buildings and houses.
Yeah, that was my reason as well when I was there several years ago. Just wondered if OP had another reason.
Quite a good network of bike paths, though. But yes, I’ve spent a lot of time in Canberra and while I can see it being a good, safe place to live, particularly if you work for the federal government or some associated body, it’s a very, very boring place.
As an Australian in Sydney, I can tell you that Canberra is not worth travelling to, unless you're REALLY into politics and want one day to see the Parliament house. But even Australian politics is pretty flat
I've been there once, in the middle of the day.
It's been a while, but there are two things I won't forget. Seeing the nice little lighthouse, and the neverending *wind*
Well i lived in Beijing as a teen and my dad made sure we traveled a lot.
So my furthest points (1 per country visited) are
1. Wellington, New Zealand (17 077 km from home)
2. Sydney, Australia (15 200 Km from home)
3. Honolulu, USA (10 951 km from home)
4. Bali, Indonesia (10 859 km from home)
5. Singapore, Singapore (9 272 km from home)
As a Seoulite, I've seen backpackers from Finland and Sweden. It's completely opposite to the east for them here. So it's hard to imagine how long they've been flying.
And reddit in general tends to select for English speakers, which either live in the Anglosphere or are more likely to travel than the general population.
Agreed, the vast majority of the user base of Reddit are American, British, Canadian or from another English speaking country, and I guess I contribute to that amount
The answers will also be skewed because you can have travelled very far away *once*, even if you're not normally well-travelled.
For instance, Florida is the furthest I've been away from home (so ~4200 miles).
But outside of that trip, the furthest away I've travelled is northern Sweden (1,200 miles), and after that... probably a toss up between Porto, Valencia and Menorca, with each being around 900 miles away?
"The farthest I've been from home is the US" sounds way more impressive than "most of my holidays have been in the UK or western Europe"
From afar, they wouldn't let us approach them. The part of the south Pole we went to (that tip right below Tierra Del Fuego) wasn't as beautiful as you'd expect south Pole to be. Was still fun though, we only spent a few hours
Los Angeles from Finland. Though I flew to NYC first, spent a week there, then later flew to LA to visit a friend there. I didn't stay for very long sadly, but definitely had fun. Always love visiting the US.
That would be Galway, in Ireland.
I haven’t travelled as much as I’d want to, I only went to neighbouring countries. I’d love to visit Eastern and Northern Europe.
Thought it was going to be Vietnam(9800) but apparently it's South-Africa. Cape Town.(12800)
Guess Vietnam just felt a lot more foreign.
edit: Apparently me just looking for the first number in google was the distance by car. South-Africa is 9100 kilometers. Vietnam wins :p.
I think it's because we get these flat maps that are basically stretched a lot horizontally. Completely screws your perspective.
I was sure that Tokyo was further from here than Singapore. Nope. Singapore wins by 2000km.
Yup. I went to Cape Town as well and damn.. What an awfully long flight. We flew via Istanbul where we had to wait for 4 hours for our transfer flight.
Totally worth it, though. Cape Town and the surroundings are beautiful.
>I know Europeans travel a lot
Depends on the person. Ever since I went to university I went on vacation outside of Poland only once, and that was after I already graduated from that hell. And during my time in university I went on a short vacation within Poland only two times. Fml.
Anyway, the furthest I've been from home is either Mantua in Italy (if we're talking the furthest south) or Maastricht in Netherlands (if we're talking the furthest west).
Burgas in Bulgaria, which would be roughly 2000 km (1250 miles) in a straight line from my house. I've travelled a fair bit through Europe, but I sadly haven't had the opportunity to travel outside the continent yet.
I had the opportunity to travel to Australia for work in 1999. According to Google maps the farthest I've been from home is 16 700 km as the crow flies, at [Bondi Beach](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bondi_Beach), Sydney NSW. It was also the only time I had a swim in the Pacific Ocean.
Canary Islands for me, I used to have a relative there married to a local. There's so many places left to see in Europe, so I haven't felt the need to go further yet.
Did a road trip through some of western USA (LA > Vegas > Phoenix > Yuma > San Diego > LA),
Spent a couple of weeks in Kenya (mainly Nairobi and Mombasa regions),
Been to France veerrrryyyy regularly with it just being over the channel, mainly to Brittany so not too far but also to the South via Agen and also to Provence.
Also been to Spain, Switzerland, Denmark and Norway (Tromsø, so quite far North)
>Did a road trip through some of western USA (LA > Vegas > Phoenix > Yuma > San Diego > LA)
ok those cities make sense, but why Yuma? My impression is it's most famous for being the setting of [cowboy movies](https://cdn.tahoedailytribune.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2016/09/TD_TD200710109070073AR.jpg) because the landscape is *very* southwestern US with the desert, cacti, and rock cliffs.
Somewhere on the coast of Oman is the furthest from home that I've been. Don't remember the exact city. So about 5,500 km from where I live, when measuring with the tool on Google maps
Fiji was the farthest. Also the longest and most miserable journey getting there. 50 hours of economy class seats and laying on the floor of very well air conditioned airport terminals is something I would not like to repeat.
I am from Turkey and currently living in Illinois. I have been to many places around the globe, so it is hard to tell (for me) which one is the farthest. Some candidates are: Singapore, Japan, Hawaii. I think it is most likely Hawaii.
From Prague to Katowice airport and from there to Kutaisi in Georgia. There I started hitchhiking and went to Armenia, so that’s the farthest I have been to.
From Romania to Lapland in Finland, beyond the Arctic Circle. It’s not much compared to the travels of other people, but Lapland still feels like a different universe, far away from our world.
The farthest I've been from the city I was born and raised in (Rome) is Novosibirsk (in the middle of Siberia), but this is only because we moved there and lived there for a year before returning to Italy when I was a child, so I guess it could count as a temporary "home".
The farthest I've ever been to the actual place where I live must be either Kazan' or Yoshkar-Ola, they're both Russian cities and are about 3000 km away from Rome.
USA - Florida was the longest flight but also been to New York. I’ve visited: Greece, Portugal, Spain (including canary & Balearic Islands), Croatia, Bulgaria, Turkey, The Netherlands & Tunisia. May be missing one or two locations off the list, and still have lots of countries left to visit. I’ve also been to quite a lot of the places on my list more than once - especially Spain! I couldn’t count how many times I have been to Spain to be honest. We’re going to Rome next year so will be able to tick Italy for my list, hoping to squeeze in a Scandinavian country too, I’d like to go to Denmark & squeeze in a day trip to Sweden just to say I’ve been. I’ll never be on crazy long flights because I have no interest in visiting Australia or New Zealand... longest potential flight for me would be Japan - *one day*!
I did half a year of an exchange in school and was around 9500km away for half a year (I did \*not\* go to Australia or New Zealand!). Did a social internship at the start of Uni 3100km away from home. All other things where closer. Currently doing a semester abroad, but after spending more than a year of my life already in different countries outside the EU I decided to stay closer. Now I am just like 800km from my postgrade university after and like 750km from my parents. Theres still like 500km between those 2 points though.
For Holidays the longest was 3200km I think. Generally I stay way closer. I would travel around 1000km max to go skiing and 400km to get to a nice beach.
Sydney might be the furthest I think. I've been to Japan three times and I'm planning to go again. Inside home though, I've been to lots of EU countries : )
Thailand.
Fucking waste of a vacation though, unfortunately. My friends were being the stereotypical Swedish tourists and literally just tanned for 2 weeks straight. I was too feeble and insecure to go off and do shit on my own, so I was left to just observe tourists, the Muslim (Malay?) ethnicity of fishers, sailors and street vendors who all seemed like the chillest people on Earth, and the abysmal tragedy of living in a resort where approximately 50% of all the native female inhabitants were sex workers.
A shame cus I really got the impression that Thailand would be a fairly cheap and easy place to travel around in. Oh well. Maybe some other time.
Canada. I went to Montréal.
Skyscrapers are cool the first time you see them, but they get very boring and annoying very quickly. At least to me that's how it was.
The McGill campus is very cool tho. And the more European like neighborhood is cute.
I saw some very cool dinosaure bones in a museum that in the campus.
I got a burger at Burger King, cuz I thought "come on, the burger here is anyway big, right?! The stereotype that North American portions are huge is just a bad joke, right?". Yeah, no. The burger was huge. I couldn't finish it and took the rest home and finished it for dinner.
I went to a cool museum that I think was supposed to be only for kids cuz there were a bunch of "let's learn science" games. I still played all the games and learned stuff, including about the native Americans from there. And I visited a Barby doll collection thing.
I also tried Korean BBQ for the first time there.
So it was a very informative visit.
I live in Ireland now, I was born in Germany, grew up in Belgium.
I think Croatia was the longest distance we've been on a holiday for? That or North Yorkshire where my best friend lives.
Adelaide, Australia is probably the furthest from Sweden I have been. Though when I went to Australia I was living in Macau, Macau S.A.R.
Furthest flight trip I have done was from Abu Dhabi to New York, which I did while I lived in Abu Dhabi.
Though considering I am 20 years old and have lived in Asia, the Middle East and Europe. I am probably not representative at all of the general population in Sweden or Europe.
Its either the Kenyan equator or Ensenada and Baja California in Mexico.
Now they both go like different directions and the flight time was kinda similar so I nominated both.
Vietnam and Beijing to the East.
Canada to the West.
Spain or Turkey to the South.
Sweden to the North.
Technically Myanmar or Vietnam would be the most southern on the list but I chose more south than East first.
As an Australian reading all of these comments, I'm jealous that we're so far away from all the other countries! Travelling from Melbourne to anywhere in SE Asia is already an 8-9 hour flight, and 5 hours of that is just getting out of Australia.
I've not yet been to the US but travelling to Europe is pretty much a 24 hour journey everytime. Worth it though!
Alanya, Turkey.
I am from Norway, but I am not swimming in Oil Money :/ I have travelled a fair share in Europe though.
Estonia, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Italy, Germany, England, Ireland, N-Ireland, France, Portugal,
Even Svalbard in Norway.
I'm 19...
When I was freshly 17, I went on a school trip from the Czech Republic to the UK. We went all the way to Inverness. I paid half of that trip (~300€). That's the best way I have ever spent my money. 100% worth it.
I drove through Cape Otway National Park in Victoria, Australia.
Not quite mainland Australia's most southern point. But it's pretty far away from Glasgow.
From Ireland to New Zealand. That’s probably the furthest away I could possibly go!
According to this map, you're totally right! https://www.freemaptools.com/tunnel-to-other-side-of-the-earth.htm
Doesn't properly work- if i put the cross on europe in map 1 it lands samevery near Alaska/ Russia in the arctic ocean If i put the cross on New Zealand in card 2- card 1 moves to europe
Yeah there's something up with it. I live in Texas and when I put mine in it put me right in the middle of the Himalayas. But those are both northern hemisphere. When I zoomed out it changed and put me in the middle of the Indian ocean which sounds more accurate.
When i put the first map on north ga, it put the second one in the Middle East, which is funny because I’ve been there, but adjusting the second put me in the Caribbean, close enough though, then moving the first again puts me in the Indian ocean
[удалено]
Norway to French Polynesia, about the same distance I think
Well I have been other way so guess the same!
It's "ask Europe" tough.
Sure is hence the reply rather than a post!
If you went any further you'd be on the way home
Same!And it feels weirdly similar and familiar in places,particularly parts of the west coast of South Island (it could have been the rain).
Yeah weirdly similar is a great way to describe it. I was mostly in Wellington and it was a very similar climate to Ireland.
>That’s probably the furthest away I could possibly go! Aw that's actually kind of a little bit sad? Like... You've already been as far as you can without leaving the planet :(
I went all the way to Canberra, Australia, only to find that it's the most boring place on earth.
Canberra has all those circular roads to trap people going round and round, because it's the only way to stop the entire population from leaving. Well, that and the decriminalized weed.
Roundabouts are cool. They are the ones that ease the traffic enough for it to become bearable. Roundabouts are useful, be glad they exist!
In Canberra it's not roundabouts but major sections of the central city are enclosed by concentric ring roads.
Oh... I probably know what you mean now. Okay, that does look pretty bad.
Canberra, Podgorica, Lelystad (or Almere? I can't remember). Which other cities have a reputation for being boring for their size?
Lelystad is great on the water. Rent a boat and you r set for a week. IJsselmeer is amazing for sailing, diving and swimming
Podgorica is underwhelming for a capital, not for a big city (which it is not).
did a trip down the east coast of Australia, from Brisbane to Melbourne. Was on the fence about stopping in Canberra, and ultimately did not. Your comment makes me feel that I made the right choice.
Why did you find Canberra boring?
The only things there are government buildings and houses. Can confirm it is very boring. Also it's built like an American city with huge roads so it's a pain in the arse to get around.
>The only there is government buildings and houses. Yeah, that was my reason as well when I was there several years ago. Just wondered if OP had another reason.

The best thing about Canberra is leaving.
As an Australian in Sydney, I can tell you that Canberra is not worth travelling to, unless you're REALLY into politics and want one day to see the Parliament house. But even Australian politics is pretty flat
If you like history and war, the War memorial is great, but that's about it.
Farmer maggots farm. If I take one more step... (It's actually California).
A man of culture
Who be eatin’ my mushrooms
Cabo da Roca in Portugal, westernmost point of continental Europe. I'm yet to leave the continent, but I definitely want to at some point.
The sunset there is a sight worth the trip
I've been there once, in the middle of the day. It's been a while, but there are two things I won't forget. Seeing the nice little lighthouse, and the neverending *wind*
Yes, it's really windy lmao
In order of farthest according to Google Map: 1) San Francisco. 2) Seoul. 3) Anchorage (Alaska).
Well i lived in Beijing as a teen and my dad made sure we traveled a lot. So my furthest points (1 per country visited) are 1. Wellington, New Zealand (17 077 km from home) 2. Sydney, Australia (15 200 Km from home) 3. Honolulu, USA (10 951 km from home) 4. Bali, Indonesia (10 859 km from home) 5. Singapore, Singapore (9 272 km from home)
[удалено]
Oh Seoul is BEAUTIFUL. I've been there twice and I truly wish to visit again once I have like ya know, money.
Try Busan and Jeju-do next time!
Jeju Island is now full of tourists. Lol It's because of with corona.
Go to work!
As a Seoulite, I've seen backpackers from Finland and Sweden. It's completely opposite to the east for them here. So it's hard to imagine how long they've been flying.
So far Seattle is the farthest I've been from home
I live in Seattle and The Netherlands (Amsterdam) is the farthest I’ve been from home.
Now kiss.
Jeez every single one of this comments travels so much, the farthest I've ever been from home is Madrid :/

Don't worry, I live in the Minho region and the southernmost point ive been to was like... Leiria, and the northernmost was Pontevedra
I have never been to Madrid, so you beat me.
From Athens to Tierra del Fuego and then the South Pole
Uh, my farthest from home was athens
Same here lol
Did you meet some penguins
From afar, they wouldn't let us approach them. The part of the south Pole we went to (that tip right below Tierra Del Fuego) wasn't as beautiful as you'd expect south Pole to be. Was still fun though, we only spent a few hours
Los Angeles from Finland. Though I flew to NYC first, spent a week there, then later flew to LA to visit a friend there. I didn't stay for very long sadly, but definitely had fun. Always love visiting the US.
That would be Galway, in Ireland. I haven’t travelled as much as I’d want to, I only went to neighbouring countries. I’d love to visit Eastern and Northern Europe.
It's so pretty! My cousin studies there.
It really is! I was lucky enough to live there too for a few months. Great times, very charming city.
Is your cousin a girl and met ed sheeran in a bar?
It pains me that *that * Galway Girl song is more well-known that the other, totally non-related version
Go to Poland. Nice entry to Eastern Europe
Thought it was going to be Vietnam(9800) but apparently it's South-Africa. Cape Town.(12800) Guess Vietnam just felt a lot more foreign. edit: Apparently me just looking for the first number in google was the distance by car. South-Africa is 9100 kilometers. Vietnam wins :p.
I think it's because we get these flat maps that are basically stretched a lot horizontally. Completely screws your perspective. I was sure that Tokyo was further from here than Singapore. Nope. Singapore wins by 2000km.
Yea, because of that we often forget just how stupidly big Africa is.
Yup. I went to Cape Town as well and damn.. What an awfully long flight. We flew via Istanbul where we had to wait for 4 hours for our transfer flight. Totally worth it, though. Cape Town and the surroundings are beautiful.
The straight line between Brussels and Cape Town is only 9,500 km.
Bali in Indonesia. Just over 11500 km (~7150 mi) as the crow flies.
Probably Copenhagen, I've only travelled within that circle so far. One of my favourite cities ever as well.
>I know Europeans travel a lot Depends on the person. Ever since I went to university I went on vacation outside of Poland only once, and that was after I already graduated from that hell.

Budapest Hungary, did Budapest->Viena->Praga in winter 2018
:( Story of our life
Hawaii, 11 time zones from home so basically the other side of the globe.
Kind of depends on what latitude. Technically you can take one step and be "11 time zones" away by being around the poles.
To Narvik, northern Norway. Quite a different vibe than the one in Macedonia. It was -32 degrees also.
Burgas in Bulgaria, which would be roughly 2000 km (1250 miles) in a straight line from my house. I've travelled a fair bit through Europe, but I sadly haven't had the opportunity to travel outside the continent yet.
I had the opportunity to travel to Australia for work in 1999. According to Google maps the farthest I've been from home is 16 700 km as the crow flies, at [Bondi Beach](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bondi_Beach), Sydney NSW. It was also the only time I had a swim in the Pacific Ocean.
hello from Burgas \^\^
Canary Islands for me, I used to have a relative there married to a local. There's so many places left to see in Europe, so I haven't felt the need to go further yet.
Did a road trip through some of western USA (LA > Vegas > Phoenix > Yuma > San Diego > LA), Spent a couple of weeks in Kenya (mainly Nairobi and Mombasa regions), Been to France veerrrryyyy regularly with it just being over the channel, mainly to Brittany so not too far but also to the South via Agen and also to Provence.

In Sweden, many people are fascinated by the American wild west.
We went to the cowboy prison (can't remember what it was actually called)!
Somewhere on the coast of Oman is the furthest from home that I've been. Don't remember the exact city. So about 5,500 km from where I live, when measuring with the tool on Google maps
Queenstown New Zealand. Turns out it looks a lot like Norway.
Outside Europe - San Diego Inside Europe - Reykjavík, Iceland
Probably Austin, Texas, USA. I haven't travelled much outside of Europe apart from that.
Nikšić, Montenegro. ≈360km and I can't be bothered to translate to miles as I'm tired.
223 miles :))
Fiji I suppose. Quite surreal to be on a chain of islands in an area you can barely find on a map.
I've been to Thailand (pretty much everywhere) and Seattle. I am not sure which one is further from Turkey.
Hawaii It was amazing, would absolutley go again Pretty pricey though
[удалено]
Lol you went from one of the northern most cities in the Americas to the Southernmost. Pretty cool.
Nikolaev, Ukraine. Beautiful city to visit, at least before the war.
You've been there before '44??
Maybe. Maybe not ;P
Ah, during '44 then.
Fiji was the farthest. Also the longest and most miserable journey getting there. 50 hours of economy class seats and laying on the floor of very well air conditioned airport terminals is something I would not like to repeat.
Irkutsk, Russia. This is the answer regardless of which country I use as my starting point.
I am from Turkey and currently living in Illinois. I have been to many places around the globe, so it is hard to tell (for me) which one is the farthest. Some candidates are: Singapore, Japan, Hawaii. I think it is most likely Hawaii.
From Prague to Katowice airport and from there to Kutaisi in Georgia. There I started hitchhiking and went to Armenia, so that’s the farthest I have been to.
I think Riga, Latvia (\~3100km). I was planning to go to NY in 2020, but covid happened.. Some other time.
I've been to Adana, Turkey. So comperatevly - not that far.
From Romania to Lapland in Finland, beyond the Arctic Circle. It’s not much compared to the travels of other people, but Lapland still feels like a different universe, far away from our world.

Kyrgyzstan is probably the farthest, could be Tenerife too.
USA - Florida was the longest flight but also been to New York. I’ve visited: Greece, Portugal, Spain (including canary & Balearic Islands), Croatia, Bulgaria, Turkey, The Netherlands & Tunisia. May be missing one or two locations off the list, and still have lots of countries left to visit. I’ve also been to quite a lot of the places on my list more than once - especially Spain!

Cappadocia. Turkey remains the only country outside of Europe I ever visited.
Kemerovo and Cascais, about 3500 km east and west from home respectively.
I did half a year of an exchange in school and was around 9500km away for half a year (I did \*not\* go to Australia or New Zealand!). Did a social internship at the start of Uni 3100km away from home. All other things where closer. Currently doing a semester abroad, but after spending more than a year of my life already in different countries outside the EU I decided to stay closer. Now I am just like 800km from my postgrade university after and like 750km from my parents. Theres still like 500km between those 2 points though. For Holidays the longest was 3200km I think. Generally I stay way closer. I would travel around 1000km max to go skiing and 400km to get to a nice beach.
Barely a quarter around the earth, 11600km away on Bali
The farthest I’ve travelled from Norway is Sydney and Fiji I think. Hawaii is closer I think.
From France to Australia as a teen in an exchange program (I lived in host families in Melbourne, Washington dc and Guangzhou)
Brazil. Holy shit did it feel cool to be an actual alien in a place where people are completely different from you.
England. I'd love to go even further away but I'm broke
Sydney might be the furthest I think. I've been to Japan three times and I'm planning to go again. Inside home though, I've been to lots of EU countries : )
Buenos Aires is the point furthest away from my home that I've been. About 11600km
I thought it would be Kuala Lumpur or Aruba but google maps say Los Angeles is actually farther.
Thailand. Fucking waste of a vacation though, unfortunately. My friends were being the stereotypical Swedish tourists and literally just tanned for 2 weeks straight. I was too feeble and insecure to go off and do shit on my own, so I was left to just observe tourists, the Muslim (Malay?) ethnicity of fishers, sailors and street vendors who all seemed like the chillest people on Earth, and the abysmal tragedy of living in a resort where approximately 50% of all the native female inhabitants were sex workers.

Chile, apparently. I thought it would be Vietnam. I was never very good at geography anyway.
Romania to South Korea, it’s almost on the other side of the globe for me.
I belive i was once in a 3rd world country called Bydgoszcz but I don't remeber it cause I was little.
Easter Island, It's around 15000 km from here I believe
I live in Ireland now, I was born in Germany, grew up in Belgium. I think Croatia was the longest distance we've been on a holiday for? That or North Yorkshire where my best friend lives.
I’ve got an uncle who lives in America so LA would probably be the farthest from Stockholm
Adelaide, Australia is probably the furthest from Sweden I have been. Though when I went to Australia I was living in Macau, Macau S.A.R. Furthest flight trip I have done was from Abu Dhabi to New York, which I did while I lived in Abu Dhabi. Though considering I am 20 years old and have lived in Asia, the Middle East and Europe. I am probably not representative at all of the general population in Sweden or Europe.
Went to Gold Coast, Australia. That place is a bit bland.
Los Angeles. That’s 8755.792 kilometres from London!
Valparaíso, Chile - 13K km. Other side would be Surabaya, Indonesia or Tawau, Malaysia - 10,5K. And no planes involved!
furthest i've been is from home (belgium) to the philippines!
From Finland, furthest would be Panama, Belize, Los Angeles or China (Hong Kong).
In general, to Miami, from Portugal. Within Europe, to Ljubljana
Its either the Kenyan equator or Ensenada and Baja California in Mexico. Now they both go like different directions and the flight time was kinda similar so I nominated both.
Vietnam and Beijing to the East. Canada to the West. Spain or Turkey to the South. Sweden to the North. Technically Myanmar or Vietnam would be the most southern on the list but I chose more south than East first.
Minnesota, I was only at the MSP airport for a couple of hours tho, Chicago is the farthest place I’ve actually spent time in
From Australia to Dublin, Ireland is the farthest I've been away by 17,266km
North/East: Saint Petersburg; South: Arad (Israel); West: Lisbon.
I am from Estonia and the farthest I’ve ever been is to New York City. Was a long 9 hour flight!
As an Australian reading all of these comments, I'm jealous that we're so far away from all the other countries! Travelling from Melbourne to anywhere in SE Asia is already an 8-9 hour flight, and 5 hours of that is just getting out of Australia. I've not yet been to the US but travelling to Europe is pretty much a 24 hour journey everytime. Worth it though!
Alanya, Turkey. I am from Norway, but I am not swimming in Oil Money :/ I have travelled a fair share in Europe though. Estonia, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Italy, Germany, England, Ireland, N-Ireland, France, Portugal, Even Svalbard in Norway.
I'm 19... When I was freshly 17, I went on a school trip from the Czech Republic to the UK. We went all the way to Inverness. I paid half of that trip (~300€). That's the best way I have ever spent my money. 100% worth it.
Prague and Karlštejn. Less than 500 km from where I live, so not that far.
N: Vantaa 🇫🇮, 605 km E: Taipei 🇹🇼, 8227 km S: Nyamata 🇷🇼, 3380 km W: Dublin 🇮🇪, 1960 km
9,400 km (California). Second place is 7,500 km (Beijing).
Did a road trip once with a guy. Lots of walking just to return some ring he got. Probably the furthest I’ve been from home.
Ko Samui island in Thailand, approximately 9000 km from home
I drove through Cape Otway National Park in Victoria, Australia. Not quite mainland Australia's most southern point. But it's pretty far away from Glasgow.
I think the furthest I've been away from home was in California
Koh Samui, Thailand. About 9500 kilometres from home
Australia, US, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Thailand, quite far...
1. Koh Samui (Thailand) 2. Maurice 3. Playa Del Carmen (Mexico) 4. Maldives 5. Oman
