What is the farthest you have traveled from your place of birth?

Born on a farm in New York. Traveled completely around the globe. Lived in Mexico, and in the Philippines for 7 years. Traveled to Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Macau, Thailand, Indonesia, Egypt, Costa Rica, Canada and all 50 states.

I always read that as having traveled to many places in Europe but too many to list separately in a short post.

You when the grand prize, traveler!

I've never been to any place in Europe but I have one child who has been and is planning, as we speak, to visit many locations for her business she owns. When people list many places they've visited worldwide I always wonder if it was for business, pleasure, or as a child of, say, military parents.

The farthest I have traveled is Japan (navy father).

Canada

[Hey, from Texas to Canada is not a short trip !]
 

I envy all of you being able to travel. I was born in a small rural country town, lived in New Mexico which I loved, trips to Mexico via cruises. Wish I could have visited New York, seen the seasons change in new England but at this age don't see it happening. But loved reading about all of the different places y'all have been.

There are specially designated highways that take you winding through the forests of Vermont and New Hampshire during the peak of broadleaf color change. It is a riot of color that defies any description I could come up with. Mother Nature at her most gorgeous.
 
I feel like a ringer (hmm, gotta look up where that word came from), but...
I was in the US Air Force and was enlisted flight crew for 15 yrs, which included Desert Storm.
I've been around the world over a dozen times. That's not counting the many flights going north / south, like Iceland, Alaska, etc.
I've been to over 30 countries - I've forgotten the exact number and where I put the list of countries.
 
I was born in Buffalo,NY,in '68 family took a 3 week summer vacation out West: Colorado,Nevada,Calif.We visited my mom's relatives who lived in burb of San Franscisco,wonderful memories Sue
 
I was born in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I grew up in Kuala Lumpur and then work around South East Asia at age 28 yrs old.

The farthest I have travelled from where I lived is New York City .... which is 12 hrs time time difference with Kuala Lumpur.
 
I'd never stopped to think about it before but according to Google I've traveled and lived quite a long ways from home a few times;

Oklahoma to Indonesia = 9337 miles.

Oklahoma to Vietnam = 8655 miles.

Oklahoma to Libya = 6404 miles.

Oklahoma to Panama = 3198 miles
