Who has traveled the furthest from the place of their birth? Who has stayed the closest?

In My Humble Opinion
41

Born in the American West (not Texas). Have traveled east as far as Halenkovice, Czechoslovakia (now the Czech Republic). West to Pokhara, Nepal.

42

I think I’m the winner of the least distance so far. My small town in MO to West Logan WV - 621.45 miles.

43

Approximate distance as the crow flies in miles from Middlesbrough Great Britain (UK) to Auckland New Zealand, 11174 miles or 17978.97 Kilometres

Or according to http://www.distancefromto.net/ 18040 Km or 11210 miles

44

Chicago, IL, USA -> Hobart, Tasmania, AUS 9,674 miles

45

6610 miles for me…thought it would be further. Oh well.

Akron, OH to Kuwait City, Kuwait.

46

From Sandy Hook, Kentucky to some 30ish miles west of Danang, Vietnam.

8,650 miles.

Come next March it will be 8,847. From Kentucky to Siem Reap, Cambodia.

47

Sounds like Hoi An.

48

Born in St. Louis, MO. to Bratislava, Slovakia.
4,967 miles.

49

Ah, no it doesn’t. Hoi An is more like south-southeast of Danang and closer to the coast than I was thinking. Never mind.

50

Cleveland to Kuala Lumpur: 9,337 miles, 15,026 km.

51

Perth, Western Australia, to Milan. 13 688 kilometres, or 8505 miles.

52

Sacramento, CA to Johannesburg, 10471.52 miles or 16851.82 kilometers.
Not bad. Parts of Madagascar would get me a bit closer to my antipode, but not much closer.

53

Do we have any moon-walking astronauts on board here?

54

I’ve been to Marseille, 11848 miles from the place of my birth in the Bay Of Plenty, NZ. I really should go to Barcelona, or Valencia in Spain, which would be pretty close to the actual antipodal point.

I currently live 11531 miles from home.

55

I’ve been 10,555mi from my birthplace, to Inverness, Scotland, when I was 26 years old. Prior to that trip the furtherest I’d been was Canberra, 249mi.

56

Only about 6050 miles. Pittsburgh PA to Somewhere near Ulan-Ude Russia

57

Not me. 5065 miles west to Kehaka Kuaii. 2070 south to San Isidro Honduras. I’ve only been marginally north or east. The furthest place I could go is somewhere in the ocean southwest of Australia.

58

I’ve walked across Dorman Long’s 2 most famous bridges and was born about a mile from one of them:
Newcastle, UK to Sydney, Australia is 10490 miles or thereabouts. That was all of once though. Discounting that trip, the furthest I’ve been is Toledo in Spain, a mere 1049 miles and rather neatly 10% of my maximum.

59

Born in Christchurch, New Zealand

Furtherest seems to be Glasgow, Scotland:
Miles: 11,567.77
Kilometers: 18,616.02

Looking at an antipode map, it appears the furthest I can realistically ever get is 11,290 miles (the exact antipode from Akron, OH is in the Ocean). So, I just need to visit the southwestern coast of Australia, around Perth.
