  1. Don’t know the distance, but I’m from Spain and was in Argentina once.
  2. If you count lived as “paid rent”, then Miami. If you count “spent 30+ days in the same country, even if not at the same address” (the definition used by the Spanish government) then Mexico (Puebla and Toluca).
  3. The visit to Argentina was while paying rent in Philadelphia. My first visit to the US (New Hampshire) was while paying rent in Barcelona.
