Furthest you have been from home

[Keane]

Christchurch, New Zealand.

Next time, if there is a next time, I'll have to go further south.

[leedsveg]

Varanasi, India 1972. (Bus from Leeds was full so had to stand all the way.)

I've had a few 'round the world' tickets... so I guess the furthest from home would be everywhere!

[DiaShel]

Well, you can either look at it as NZ is home and the furthest is the East Coast of Maine or NY is home and Queenstown NZ is the furthest

[Keane]

Somewhat off-topic, but there has been an earthquake early Saturday morning NZ time, on the South Island, about 30 km west of Christchurch:

^ The sad this is I first heard about this from my family and friends in NY asking if I was ok... I really should check the news once in a while.

Such a shame. Luckily there doesn't seem to be many serious injuries and no deaths.

[missbettie]

I heard about that today and ur the first person i thought of. glad ur okay. xoxox

[DiaShel]

^ Aw shucks thanks. Was there a second person? :P

[missbettie]

Rajasthan, India.

[MrWizzle]

Moab, Utah. Arches National Park is amazing.

Victoria, Australia

I realize that it is not eco-friendly, which makes me sad... BUT I've been across the International Dateline AND the Prime Meridian. I'm proud to be a world traveler. I wish it could be in a greener way.

Berwick upon tweed.

I've never left the UK. We didn't have the money when we were kids, then through Uni I didn't get a grant and decided debt was a foolish idea just to travel. Once married I also didn't have much money, and once we were off the bread line we had survived so long without travel it didn't seem worth it.

[Firestorm]

I've never left the UK.

Same here, furthest I think is either Wales or the Isle of Man.

[Barry]

Rajasthan, India.

Snap. One of the best parts of India IMO.

[porcupine_treats]

El Calafate, Argentina.

[veganosie]

casper, wyoming.

i long to go back to america. saving up to spend my 21st birthday in new england!

[citameht]

I had to do a latitude longitude check to get this right, but Cyprus it is.

[Muvesz]

Paris or Oslo, whichever is further. Although, you could technically call Norway my 'home' and California was simply the place I was raised.

[Blueberries]

Tokyo, or Tennesse, I'm not sure which one's further away from Ireland!

[EpicLibrarian]

Seoul, South Korea or Beijing, China. They are both on the exact opposite side of the planet from me, and man were those some painful flights!

[MoonDance]

My first time overseas was on a cruise at the beginning of the year. Flew from Melbourne up to Sydney first, a day later we headed off to Vanuatu and New Caledonia. Was very awesome and really cool! Definitely would do it again, perhaps to different ports though.

[Robinwomb]

I live a sheltered life. I have seen all of seven states in the U.S. and traveled to Canada a few times, up to Kenora and stayed in a cabin on Lake of the Woods a few times. I have never been oversees but I dream of visiting the UK! I'm just too poor right now and getting worse with student loans.

[EpicLibrarian]

Student loans are horrible Robin. I taught in Korea and they paid for my flight there, and the apartment, so I was able to save up enough money to pay off my loans. If I hadn't had that deal, I wouldn't have been able to travel either.

Wow, what a wonderful opportunity! And yet so scary! I can not imagine going over seas to live in a place so different than home, even if only for a temporary period of time. But it would certainly broaden one's horizons and perspective. How did you like it there?

[EpicLibrarian]

It really was scary! I had never been out of the US before, and I was used to living in the country. I lived in downtown Seoul, and the time zone was completely opposite from home. I really loved it though! I had so much fun and met so many great people, and I loved teaching. Living in the city was amazing, and you could get anything you wanted at any hour, and the public transportation was cheap and great. I miss it sometimes. When I first got back to the US, everything seemed so open and small. Guess I had gotten used to skyscrapers as far as the eye could see!

[pat sommer]

what is home? been a lot of places but not South America or Antartica. Someday.
Now my daughter thinks of home as Beijing So Cal and UK. Hardly remembers England past Grandmas garden...

I figure .everywhere is 'bout the same distance from the centre

Furthest away I ever felt from what I know has to be diving a reef. That is another world!
