    Maybe about 15 miles. I've lived in New Hampshire all my life other than a year where I lived in New Jersey when I was one or two years old.
     
  4. 655 miles, which is the farthest I have lived from home.

    I live a little under 200 miles from where I was born.

    The farthest I've lived is right around 550 miles from home.

    Of my 36 years, 26 have been spent in my hometown, and there I never lived more than two miles from my parents' house.

    957 from where I grew up; 1066 from where I was born...and that's the furthest. Since I graduated college, though, I have not lived in my home state, and I definitely miss it.

    Just for grins, I checked and I'm 2500 miles from my mother's house. Hmmm. I thought I was closer.

    I'm thinking I'm about 250-300 miles from home, though it feels like 9,000 since it requires a drive through Chicago to get there.

    The furthest was whatever Z-Man wrote down ... 991 miles. We shared a room back then, so I'll say I was a foot further away.
