Based on latitude and longitude (not just 'absolute compass points) what is the furthest in each direction you have been? BTW only actually stepping foot on a place (not just flying across the IDT or a flight across the poles) counts. Layovers/transit do not count either.

South: Dunedin, New Zealand, about 46'S
East: Auckland, New Zealand, about 175'E
West: Santa Monica, California, USA, about 118'W
BONUS:
Furthest north in the Eastern hemisphere ex. Europe, about 40'N around the Great Wall of China
Furthest south in the western hemisphere, San Diego about 32'S

I'm not going to bother figuring out the coordinates since the majority of people cruising this thread will know where all of these places are I would guess.
North: Calgary, AB
East: Abu Dhabi airport, or Hurghada, Egypt if you don't count airports
West: Nanaimo, BC
South: San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua

South: Viña del Mar, Chile
East: Mumbai, India
West: San Diego, CA
North - Bugøynes, Norway
South - Hong Kong, China
East - Kyoto, Japan
