All the below are places where I've stood or walked on foot. In only one case has transportation of some sort taken me farther in a direction than I walked or stood.

EAST: East Berlin (nearby walking distance northeast of Checkpoint Charlie), 1989 - now part of Berlin - East Berlin/East Germany all reunited with Germany.

NORTH: Tuktoyaktuk, Northwest Territories, Canada, 1986 (it's also one of my favorite place names...)

SOUTH: Hilo, Hawai'i, 2008 (it's POSSIBLE that part of the flight path may have circled me a little bit farther south, but I'm not sure.)

WEST: Lihue, Kauai, Hawai'i, 2008. [However, an around-the-island helicopter tour took me to the west side of Kauai island, considerably farther than east-shore Lihue.)

 

[frankfrank]

North: PEI

South: Key West Florida

East: Bahamas

West: Cairns Australia

Actually you're much farther west from where you sit...

Cairns would qualify as very far EAST (because it's in the Eastern Hemisphere), though you undoubtedly traveled west to get there. Most probably your farthest East on land would be Brisbane, then.,

One could argue that the farthest east AND west they've ever been, is 180 Degrees Longitude, in an airplane, as the flight crossed from one Hemisphere to the other...if they've ever taken such a flight, that is. (I haven't)

 

[frankfrank]

I guess technically the furthest east and west I've been is flying over the international date line on my way to Australia to shoot a movie there a few years ago..

Oh my word, you beat me to it!

Great minds think alike LOL

 

[frankfrank]

North- London, UK
South- Caracas, Venezuela
East- London, UK
West- Kona, Hawaii

Did you initially land at Kona, bypassing Honolulu? Honolulu would be farther west...

......NORTH: Tuktoyaktuk, Northwest Territories, Canada, 1986 (it's also one of my favorite place names...).....

Did you go through Inuvik on your way to Tuktoyaktuk? Regardless the NWT is a very interesting area with landscape that has to be experienced to be believed.

 

[cklover]

North: Inuvik, NWT Canada.......

Revision: Most northern point for me would be Paulatuk, NWT.

 

[jubalon]

North: Bergen, Norway
West: San Francisco (Pacific beach)
South: Playa Del Ingles, Gran Canaria.
East: Kitzbuhel (Austria) (Although I may have flown out of Vienna airport which is a bit further East but I can't remember .

North: Bergen, Norway (60N)
South: Hobart, Tasmania (43S)
East: Brisbane, Australia (153E) - I thought maybe somewhere in SE Asia, but in fact Australia "sticks out" a fair bit
West: Portland, Oregon (122W)

-T.

North and east: North Cape, Norway (the northernmost point of Norway, if you disregard some technicalities)

West: Edinburgh, Scotland

South: Corfu, Greece

I drove all the way to Inuvik from here - in fact, in the same year 1986 I drove to Homer AK AND Key West FL from here. Definitely two extremes.

I suddenly decided to inquire about hopping a small plane to "Tuk" and found out there were flight openings, so I went for it.

 

[blackbeltninja]

North for me is White Plains, just out of New York City.

South would be Hermanus, which it seems is slightly further south than Cape Point is, on the southern coast of South Africa. I nearly drowned there - great success.

West would be somewhere up in Malibu, and East would be the north-east shores of Zanzibar off the coast of Tanzania in the Indian Ocean.

I envy you. I've always wanted to drive the Dempster highway. From what I've heard it's a trip that is truly worth taking.
