Born in Sydney and have lived here all of my life but have been fortunate to have had the opportunity and the means to travel extensively in Australia, the Pacific, North America, Britain, Europe, Africa and Asia. Those days are now over but the memories remain.
 
Born in montana travel with the navy to davao mindanao pi about 14000 miles. from east coast U.S. to southeast asia many times including a trip from calif thru the canal to maine.
 
I was born in New South Wales ...in a very hot dry mining town called Broken Hill ...I've lived in South Australia since 1971

It's hard to say how far I've traveled from where I was born ,as my hubby and I traveled around Australia with our caravan for two years between 2004 ..2006 ..

We useally fly to the Gold Coast each winter for a month to avoid a little of SA 'S winter and that's just over 2000 km each way from where we live now ...
 
York, PA to Singapore = 9576 miles.
York, PA to Saigon = 8916 miles.

I am well over 10,000,000 miles total flying miles for United Express (Air Wisconsin) and United.
 
Born in Long Beach, California and went on safari in Kenya in the Seventies. While there, an expat suggested the overnight train to Mombasa on the Red Sea, so that's about ten thousand air miles, if I calculated correctly. I flew as an international stewardess for five years during that same time period and have been a LONG WAY from my birthplace dozens of times. Always glad to get back to the States.
