Poll of the Day > What is the furthest from home youve been?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Almost 10,000 km in Ishigaki, Japan

The UK. So an ocean

When I was an infant my parents went to Hawaii, so that would have been about 2,610 miles (4,200 km). I don't know the exact destination or itenerary, so I can't give exact mileage.

That I was old enough to remember, 1,802.72 miles (2,901.20 km) from my apartment in Long Beach, CA, to a segment of I-465 on our way from the Indianapolis International Airport to my aunt's house near Crawfordsville.

Since reaching adulthood, it was 1,292.23 miles (2,079.64 km) moving from California to Nebraska.

From my current home, 371.35 miles (597.63 km) to Okmulgee, OK to pick up some goats.

The Canary Islands, so just 2000 miles and change or about 3500 kilometers.

Not that far. From New York to Montreal decades ago on a school trip.

Oregon to Australia, 7,897 miles and nothing but ocean.

2500 miles from Michigan to San Diego. But that became my new home, so 0?

I little under 200mi.

However long it is between North Charleston, South Carolina to a suburb of Detroit. Made that trip once when I was younger

Juneau Alaska on the mendenhall glacier

Florida to visit family. That's literally on the opposite side of the country from me.

Somewhere in the beaches of Mexico

A little under 200mi.

FTFM

Looks like about 7917 miles from my folks place to where I am in Cali

From here, if you don't count going back to my parents, it's 1774 from here to Brookfield, IL

Home changes every few years, but I'm pretty sure it was when I visited Lake Tahoe in California when I was still living in Florida.

I'm from Illinois and furthest is Florida

Philly to Honolulu

Think it's Sydney to New York City. I'll beat it out if/when I make it to the UK&Scotland

Only a thousand miles or so, both to the north and the east. Never done much traveling west, farthest is Las Vegas

That depends how you define home. I live about 6000 miles away from where I grew up, so that can somewhat muddy the waters.

I'm from the northern part of the U.S. and I've been to Australia, so that's about as far as I could possibly go from home, short of flying to Antarctica.

If you're from the Northeast US, your antipode is somewhere around here:

Basically, figure out your latitude and longitude, and then invert it. So, say, for NYC (approx. 40N 74W) you want to flip N to S and W to E (so approx. 40S 74E). That's about as far away as you can get from where you are now without leaving the planet entirely.

Japan

One day I'll leave my road.

idk like 300 miles but that was nearly 30 years ago.

Past 10 years probably close to 10 miles.

I went to Detroit twice, which is about 950 miles/1500 km from where I live.

4000 miles to hawaii

2000 miles to Malibu

Europe.

Around 4000 miles

Basel, Switzerland, at just over 5,000 miles away.

My largest distances traveled tended to be for moves, so those technically wouldn't count. Other than that, about 3,500 miles.

6,350 miles from my home town to Konan, Japan.

About 4,350 miles (7,000km). Might do more some day.

An hj

somewhere in central america on a cruise

I lived most of my life in MS. I lived in Washington state a few months last year
