And I thought you were rich. I guess our families just have different priorities. Anyway, growing up it was normal for me to take a few flights a year to see relatives (the nearest of whom were 600 miles away). A family trip a year was normal as well. I studied abroad in Spain once, and spent a year working in Shenzhen, China. I suppose growing up an only child, family flights are cheaper than road trips, so I flew a lot of places.

I lived and worked in Australia for almost 8 years.  Also, I was in academia, so would sometimes travel to other countries to attend conferences or work with collaborators.  E.g., I mentioned that my farthest north was Manchester, England, and I was there for a conference.  And farthest "west" (at least on land) was Victoria, British Columbia, which I also went to on a work trip to meet with someone I was collaborating with on my research.

I guess the problem is that my family all live in Tennessee and Alabama then xD

Also like everyone in my family are homebodies.

No worries. When I was growing up we only traveled to visit family. The only reason that I traveled so much when I was young is that my dad got transferred for work, but we still drove to see family. Later in HS I marched with a drum and bugle corps and that took me lots of p!aces throughout the Upper Midwest. I only got out of the central time zone when I went to grad school.

Almost all of my geographic extremes are from volunteer trips. They're a great way to travel somewhere cheaply, get to know the place on a better level than just being a tourist, and feel like you're actually giving something back to the place where you're travelling.
