kineticphoenix. I chose to answer farthest east/west from where I live, instead of defining "east" or "west" by longitude.
This is how far I've been in each direction on the globe. Feel free to copy and post your own answers.
Farthest North: 8km north of Rovaniemi, Finland (just past the Arctic Circle)
Farthest South: Temple of Abu Simbel, Egypt (22.37N 31.62E)
Farthest East: Aswan, Egypt (24.05N 32.56E)
Farthest West: Hiroshima, Japan (34.4N 132.45E)
I'm a little bummed that I had to look up which place was farthest east from my home. I can guess in general from the time zone, but I don't have a good picture of how things line up. For example, I had no idea Aswan was east of much of the Gulf of Suez.
