manwithaplan, I ran a number of geochem programs for ARCO Alaska back in the late '80s and early '90s all over the North Slope, Kenai Peninsula and Yukon-Charley Wilderness. We sampled from Barrow to Umiat to Anaktuvek Pass clear over to the Ivishak River near ANWAR and up to Deadhorse. Best. Job. Ever.
Not too many people go there on purpose. I did, a few times, as I lived up around there.

I just visited Michigan for the first time a year or so ago, and I’m 47 fucking years old and have lived in Chi-fucking-cago most of my life!
Pathetic indeed.

I’m not gonna win, but heck. I don’t get the whole latitude and longitude system, so I hope these make sense. I just filched them off the web.

All lat / longs from multimap.com. Not quite sure what the OP’s comment “Air travel doesn’t count” means, but presuming it means “ignore locales you’ve only flown over, not been on the ground at”, then here’s my input. I’m pretty well-traveled, but nowhere near competitive with some of these folks.
Born in/near Los Angeles, California, USA (N33° 50’ W118° 21’).
North - Anchorage, Alaska, USA (N61° 10’ W149° 48’).
South - Oamaru, South Island, New Zealand (S45° 07’ E170° 58’).
West - Mana, Kauai island, Hawaii, USA (N22° 03’ W159° 46’).
East - Hastings, North Island, New Zealand (S39° 34’ E176° 45’). (Although we traveled west from California to get there. Furthest easterly travel from home was near Naples, Italy approximately N40° 46’ E14° 22’)
An interesting variation would be where’s the farthest NESW you’ve lived, “lived” defined as actually setting up a fixed residence for a month or more (not a hotel / camper / caravan / motor home). And measure “how far” from your birthplace, not just simple lat/longs. The point being to learn who has really lived across a large span of the planet. I’m not going to OP, but if anyone else wants to …

The last three were all on the same trip, by the way; if that month were somehow erased from my life, my answers would be the Dominican Republic, Budapest, and Alaska again.
