NSEW: How far have you been in each cardinal direction?

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
41

Similarly, I didn’t consider Paris when I said that Vancouver is my farthest north. It turns out that Vancouver just barely wins.

42

Home: Washington, DC
North: Norilsk, Russia, above the Arctic Circle
South: Cusco, Peru
East: Bali, Indonesia
West: California (how far east do you go before you are actually west of DC?)

43

North: Copenhagen, Denmark.
South: St. Kitts, Dutch Caribbean
East: Sifnos Island, Greece
West: San Francisco, CA

Now I want to travel.

Halfway.

49

I’m not counting air travel, it’s too hard to figure out. So just on land:

West: Honolulu, Hawaii
East: Tokyo, Japan

50

North: London, England
East: Naples, Italy
West: Pacific Ocean (all up and down the West coast)

I’m only counting where I was on the ground because I’m not sure what route my flights took.

51

North: Fairbanks, Alaska
South: Hobart, Tasmania
East: Moscow, Russia or Arusha, Tanzania (it looks like Arusha gets the edge here)

Not bad, but it could be better.
