Answer 1

Ok you win. I grew up in Perth (WA) and the furthest I've been is Edinburgh. You win by a couple of thousand miles. Actually I don;t really think anyone is going to best you on this

Answer 2

The harbour-side city of Auckland is New Zealand's correct area and the vivid financial center of the nation, know it with hotelbye . Auckland can be referred to as the "City of Sails" and it sprawls out in helter-skelter fashion between Manukau Harbour (to the west) and Waitemata Harbour (to the east) with the compact main town area right beside the waterway. For some readers to New Zealand, Auckland is the point of arrival, and several days soaking up the ethnic and outside attractions here should really be on every tourist's to-do list. The monuments, museums, and artwork galleries here are a number of the best in the country. The suburban coastline of the town is speckled with great beaches, and the hawaiian islands of the Hauraki Gulf supply a taste of New Zealand's magnificent national park landscape right on the city's doorstep. Auckland is surely a town worth seeing.

Answer 3

Since I live in New York City... this answer is easy. It has nothing to do with distance or geography -- otherwise that answer would be "across the street" since technically you could measure from that point all-around the world THE OTHER WAY and be correct (from anyplace, no?). My answer is: mountains of British Columbia, Canada. After flying to Seattle, driving to Vancouver meeting an ultra-hot Canadian girl who directed us 3 hours north passed the ski-areas... to a 1-lane logging road in logging country where we drove ANOTHER HOUR to remote hot-springs. There were about 15 people naked and sitting in hot-spring pools when we got there... and at night, we sat under the stars, in these pools (constantly naturally refreshed). The day-before, I'd been in Times Square hailing a cab... and THAT was the farthest-away from NYC possible!!

Answer 4

Lake Waihola - near Dunedin, NZ.
From Glasgow, Scotland.

I'm winning!

Answer 5

Australia

Answer 6

I live in DE a small state near Philadelphia. I travelled to Sydney Australia, Melbourne, Canberra and then to NZ to Auckland, Rotorua and Wellington. It was about a 22 hour flight from home.

Answer 7

Furthest I have been away from Home (Hampshire, UK) is Oulu, Finland.

I'll beat this record in March when I should (fingers crossed) be going to Tokoyo.

Actually, I've been to Canada, now I've got to go and work out how far away all these places are!!

Answer 8

Good question.

Interesting to see how 'world wide' this corner of the web is.

I was born outside Chicago, IL (Oak Park)
I have lived outside NYC,NY(Port Washington)
I have lived outside of Orlando, FL (Winter Park)
I have lived outside Daytona Beach,FL (New Smyrna Beach)
I have lived outside Asheville,NC (Skyland)
I currently live 50 miles N.E. of Asheville, NC (Spruce Pine)

I have driven over 1,000,000 miles...but have only been outside the USA three times...twice in Canada and once in Mexico.

The furthest I have ever been from where I lived at the time was Point Reyes, CA (N. of San Francisco).....from Winter Park, FL....roughly 3000 miles.

G'day NZ/AUS.......... and all points around the globe. :-)

Answer 9

Depends what you call "home" I guess. Furthest from where I currently live (Zurich Switzerland) is Vancouver Island. Furthest from what I consider home (Montreal Canada), Czech Republic or maybe Tunisia.

Answer 10

I live in the Rocky Mountain States of USA. I have lived in Korea before. It was 16 time zones away.
