There was a Friday Five a few weeks ago that asked what is the farthest you have ever traveled from home, so I decided to calculate it. From Houston, Texas it is:
– 5364 miles (8632 km) to Nurnberg, Germany.
– 5430 miles (8739 km) to Munich, Germany.
– 5499 miles (8850 km) to Salzburg, Austria.
– 5560 miles (8948 km) to Venice, Italy.
– 5708 miles (9186 km) to Rome, Italy.
Just in case you ever wondered.

I’ve got you beat: Austin, Tx to Seoul, Korea is 6939 miles. I’ve also been to Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, which is 6161 miles from Austin, but I was living in Heidelberg, Germany, at the time of that trip, so I really only traveled about 2620 miles.
Quite the world traveler you are! My trips weren’t nearly that far – Detroit to London and Portland to Chicago were my longest!
I didn’t know it was so far. Guess i’ve been around.

Well, the trips to Munich, Salzburg, Venice, Rome, Paris & other locations all originated from Germany – when I lived in Illesheim. But according to my license & everything else at the time, “home” was Houston, so I used that as my marker. I left off Prague, D reminded me of that one…
I’ve…been to Denver. 😉
That’s sad… I’ve been to Hawaii and the only country I’ve been to is Mexico and Carribean. When you’re from Texas… that’s a whoopty do!
