My travels have been within the USA except for Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The extremes have been:
West to Texas,
South to Sarasota, Florida,
East and North to points in Maine.
Maximum distance from my current address: ~1400 miles to the NE (Maine).
Lived in Europe (Netherlands, France) and Singapore, traveled extensively over all continents except South America and Antarctica. Furthest north: Toronto (Canada), Copenhagen (DK), Fushun (China). Furthest south: New Zealand South Island (Invercargill), Cape Town (South Africa).
East and West becomes too relative if you travel this widely.
North: Somewhere over Alaska on a flight between Osaka and Detroit. (On land: Fort William, Scotland)
South: Southport, Tasmania
East: the 180th Meridian, many times, in a plane. (On land: Wellington, New Zealand)
West: the 180th Meridian, many times, in a plane. (On land: Honolulu airport, Hawaii – but in a plane) (On land, outside a plane: Victoria, British Columbia)
ETA: Maximum distance from current address: Fremantle, Western Australia, unless being on a ship in the Indian Ocean counts.
Yes, it should count in terms of actual position over points on the ground, but the idea I had was ground travel. The side issue of actually having both feet on the ground at whatever point seems like a way of limiting things for this thread’s sake.
List both, if you prefer, but stress the ground portion.
North: not quite to the Arctic Circle, on the highway north from Fairbanks, Alaska
South: Cabo San Lucas, Baja California
East: the island of Rhodes
West: Somewhere in the wilds of Alaska, west of Anchorage
Distance from current address: 6000 miles more or less to the east
North: Edinburgh, Scotland
South: Dunedin, New Zealand (I hadn’t realized this before, and it’s strangely appropriate, as Dunedin gets its name from Edinburgh.)
I can’t really say for East and West; I’ve gone all the way around the globe on one (very extended) trip.
North–Canada, right above Glacier National Park
South-A couple hundred miles over the Gulf of Mexico
East-A couple hundred miles over the Atlantic Ocean
West-Pacific Ocean, from a beach in Washington State
North: somewhere in Scotland
South: Tasmania
East/West: Not sure how to define this. In terms of the 180th Meridian, Tasmania would also be the farthest east, and Lanai, Hawaii, the farthest west.
Hm. Only counting places I left the airport:
North: A smaller city in Denmark, whose name I forget, which is a bit northwest of Copenhagen (55 40 N)
South: Fiji (18 S)
East: Fiji (175 E - can’t top that by much)
West: Portland, OR (122 39, to Seattle’s 122 20)
With airports, I can stretch further west to Honolulu and further south to Christchurch NZ (or wherever the big international airport is).
