We North Americans tend to move around a lot, so I suspect our answers will differ from those provided by people from other continents.
Or maybe they won't.
Anyway, I'll start. I am currently 2345 miles / 3919 km from where I was born (straight-line distance).
8 miles, according to Google maps.
I once lived as far away as Warsaw, though.

I am 2,874 Miles / 4,626 Km away from my birthplace right now.
The geographic distance between New York to Seattle is further than the geographic distance between Dublin Ireland to Moscow Russia 2,156 miles/ 3,469, and almost an equal distance between Lisbon Portugal to Moscow Russia 2, 832 miles/4557km.
After a few years in Seattle, I plan to move in San Francisco California, and then eventually try out international living in places such as Paris, Lyon, Grenoble, Nice France, Vienna Austria, Amsterdam Netherlands, Buenos Aires Argentina, Hong Kong, Shanghai China, Taipei Taiwan, Bangkok, Phuket Thailand, Saigon Vietnam, Singapore.
This would be entertaining, and impressive for my life to be even further away from my birthplace in geographic distance in the future, such as 3,000-5,000 miles+ away.
About 120 miles (way, way too close now that I think about it).
