Dude, I didn’t even know it was Jewish!
From 1998-2001 we moved from Ohio to Geneva, then Frankfurt, then Bangkok, eventually returning to Ohio. All “moves” were east. So my whole family has gone around the world. In 1997-98 I also traveled several times to Peru and Argentina, both south of the Equator.
I’ve never been to sub-equatorial Africa or Asia, nor Australia/New Zealand. I came close during my trip to Singapore this year - missed it by that much.
Correct. You’d have had to swing quite far south into Indonesian air space.
Looks to be maybe about 3/4s of it. Farthest west I’ve traveled from Minnesota is either Beijing or Perth (looks to be a tossup between the two). Farthest east I’ve traveled is Moscow, just barely edging out Arusha, Tanzania. I’m missing a good deal of Asia between the two. This is over my lifetime, not in one trip.
W-E limits: San Francisco to Boston via Canada (by train), Boston to Nice, France, via air, Nice to Beirut by ship, Beirut to Baalbeck, Lebanon by bus - from 125 degrees W to 36.15 E, not all at once.
N-S limits: America: Puerto Rico to Prince George, BC - from 18 to 54 degrees;
Europe/Africa: Tangier, Morocco & Malta to London, from 35:10 to 51:30,
Asia: Dead Sea to Istanbul, from 31:30 to 41 degrees. Again, not all at once.
Never crossed the Equator.
My missing segment for having cumulatively circumnavigated the globe runs from Halenkovice, Czechoslovakia (the village is now in the Czech Republic) to Pokhara, Nepal.
