I made a goal of walking every day in June 2017, and have now walked the equivalent of from Northern California to New York. During that time, I've spent some effort on maps playing with what-if scenarios.
I'd love to see your research and humor applied to some travel videos related to walking (comparing paths and distances, describing mandatory walking areas, or whatever else strikes your fancy as you research).
Did Apollo astronauts carry a passport to the moon? If not then... there’s your answer.

@@catprog weren't they civilians? Thus making that "normal"
Astrobois aren’t normal people my guy
If humans are lucky, “moon passports” would be normal
"Normal people using regularly scheduled transport" would prevent that from counting.
EU citizens don't need passport to enter Norway so svalbard to reunion is possible for all eu citizens
Yes.
Also, the Svalbard treaty lets any citizen of signatory countries move there. That includes Thailand, and every year "Miss Thai Svalbard" is crowned.
It was Paris to Reunion lol
@@magnehjonnevag Obviously Svalbard to Reunion is a bigger distance, that's why he said it.
Yarno Boelens yeah but i believe he meant that Norwegian citizens don’t need a passport to enter france lol
actually because of the coronavirus outbreak, there was a flight from Papeete (French Polynesia) to Metropolitan France and this was the longest domestic flight of the world
it's still france tho
@@Minebot45 do you not know what domestic means?
This video wasn’t made during coronavirus tho
The AVgeek in me would love to take that flight. Longest domestic win! Plus Papeete is awesome...
But my legs and back say no.
I was about to comment that
Their is a even better one :) If you are a resident of the Pitcairn Island ( a small British territory with 50 residents), you can legally travel to New Zealand to seek medical treatment without a proper British passport. You will arrive at Auckland, New Zealand which also marks the beginning of your journey, after your treatment you can go back to Pitcairn but you can also get on a boat and travel all the way to Gibraltar, UK. Gibraltar is also a British territory besides the Mediterranean Sea but due to it’s geographical advantages it’s actually the opposite of Auckland, New Zealand, which means you can travel over 20,000 kilometers with out a passport!

WHYYYYYYYYYY
@I Am Sekou So you technically did not travel anywhere.
@I Am Sekou The question was "What's the Furthest You Could *Travel* Without a Passport" and since you did not travel anywhere, just stayed in one place super inefficiently, it would not count.
PS: Interrobangs (‽) are a thing use them.
@@Pcat0 +1 for interrobangs
Technically, thanks to the EU Schengen zone you could start in any EU country, preferably as far away from France as possible, drive from there to Paris, then go on a flight to réunion
i mean, i'll be gladly as far away from france as possible.
It's not about how much distance you traversed. It's about the distance between the start and end point (as if you went there in a 'straight' line). Otherwise you could take a reallllly inefficient route to make it longer.
So what you propose might be shorter.
@@MrFlibbleflobble I don't think you understand what he proposed
You could perhaps even get a flight from reunion to New Caledonia and call it a day
like the northern most tip of greenland, fly to denmark (same country no passport), drive to paris (eu). paris to réunion, domestic flight)
3:43 one of the most interesting things in the video is that the easternmost point in the “US” and the westernmost point in the “US” (via travel not longitude) are both named Point Udall.
That’s really neat.
He said they were named after brothers
Legend Mixer some brothers that probably miss each other
czcams.com/video/Y3jlFtBg0Y8/video.html
But the easternmost and westernmost point of the us are 0.01 meters apart
Why did you put US in quotation marks? They're both parts of the US, they just don't have statehood (yet).
U can go pretty far into space
i am not pretty far into space despite the fact that i am the unprettiest youtuber of all time
As a 'normal person'...not really
Just make sure you reenter in US waters.
But the only rocket that can get you to space is the Soyuz rocket, which launches from Russian territory and lands in Kazakhstan. So you have to be a Russian to get to the launch pad without a passport and even so you would be caught when you land back in Kazakhstan. Which means travel to space without a passport is impossible.
You Tube silly just fly to space
I love how he called the UN document “one of these bad boys”
Yes
by private boat you can enter ****** i won't name the county or the yacht club. with proper planing i am sure you can do this in many countries. requires 2 boats and a few decoy people to run confussion with the guard at the yacht club.
No, he called the UN travel document a bad boy, because it's a valuable item.
Yeah yeah, but you will NEVER enter great nation of Arstotzka without passport and required papers!

@@cedricye1767 yeah…
After a quick google search, I learnt several things that contradict the video :
-The Air France Flight from Paris CDG to Tahiti Faa does indeed stop in the US, but the passengers don't actually exit the plane while it's refueling and don't need a passport.
-There are domestic flights from Tahiti to New Caledonia.
-EU citizens don't need a passport to go to another country
So you could technically fly from the Canary islands to Spain. Then Fly from there to Paris. Then use that one special Flight from Paris to Tahiti. Then from Tahiti to New Caledonia and drive to the furthest point of New Caledonia. All of that without needing a passport. The total length of the trip from Morro Jarble, Canary Islands, Spain to Kuto, New Caledonia, France is actually 19 390 km (12 050 mi) making it even longer than the Guam, Puerto-Rico trip
Correction: EU citizens don't need a passport to go to another EU country. They still need a passport if they want to leave their little bubble.
@@wta1518 Nope, they can visit any country either in EU OR Schengen, but also all CEFTA countries, Georgia and French overseas territories. Many (but not all) EU nationalities can visit Turkey too.
Actually you DO leave the plane in the US when flying to/from Tahiti, then clear US immigration as an arriving passenger and re-clear security. So a passport and ESTA (or visa) is required 100%
@@martinfrostnas6610 French overseas territories count as France, Which is EU.
@@wta1518 Only the overseas departments are in the EU, not the overseas collectivities. An EU/Schengen ID card works for both

@@matthewlui1004 I like your optimism
Matthew Lui honestly at this point I’m not expecting a result either way. All I know is, whatever happens, lots of people are gonna be pissed.
Maybe each county will split in half and claim to be in the EU/not. Maybe we’ll dig underground and build a new country. Who knows? Anything could happen.
All I know is that it’s shit every outcome possible. (Can’t wait to have enough money to move, but probably won’t with the state of the economy)
Conor Keogh shame your average joe won’t get a say in the matter unless y’all hold another referendum.
Conor Keogh leaving the country just because of brexit is stupid, unless you moved for a different reason.
St Pierre & Miquelon is part of France, just of the coast of Newfoundland, that has a non-stop flight to Paris (they used to have to fly through Montreal, but their runway has been extended so now there's direct flights) - no passports needed for French/EU citizens, so it's possible to fly from St. Pierre to Reunion, which are 13,312km apart, without a passport.
There is also a direct flight from Paris to Papeete (French Polynesia) with a stop in Vancouver. Other airlines do this route via San Francisco or LA, and the Americans, being American, insisted on full immigration checks (even for EU citizens), but wether or not Canada does, I don't know. On the St. Pierre route when that required a full-blown connection in Montreal with a change of planes, they had special arrangements for transferring passengers allowing them to avoid any Canadian immigration/customs stuff, so it'd be nice if they've extended the same courtesy to the Paris-Vancouver-Papeete flights. If so that's 15,715km without a passport!
In fairness I don't think that flight existed, at least as a scheduled flight, when this video was made 5 years ago, I think it was covid that inspired them to add that route and it was kept in place after the pandemic.

Could you string something together with a flight from somewhere in the French Caribbean or Guyana to Metropolitan France to reunion? The flight distance is probably longer but I don't know if the straight line distance is.
Well I think you could pretty much go all around the world while staying in France like from Bora Bora to Papeete.
While not as far, you can go through most o South America with your regular ID if you are from a Mercosul contry. The two extremes of South America are from Cape Froward (South, Chile) to Punta Gallinas (North, Colombia), both countries are part of Mercosul, so as a Brazilian I can go there without a passport, that's 7373 km (4582 miles).
In fact, you can go even further to the North, to Santa Catalina Island, which is part of the Colombian Department of Archipelago of San Andrés, Providencia and Santa Catalina. That's 7825 km.
@@AugustoFeyh Falkland Islands to UK mainland is further, no passport required (same country). It's not that far though.
@@brazeiar9672 But UK mainland is not in South America.
@@AugustoFeyh Nor does it have to be.

Thanks for your bright and breezy videos during these tough times.
Finally my country (Bermuda) got mentioned on an HAI or Wendover!!
I hope Elon gets you those tickets
Not mentioning Schengen at all...grrr.
I waited for it the whole video lol
I guess being able to travel through 30 countries without a passaport is not impressive
Schengen isn't really relevant here. You are still required to have your passport (or a travel ID if EU citizen), and the travel ID rule applies to all of the EU, not just Schengen
@@Doping1234 travel ID? If you are part of the european union you just need your regular ID. And we refer to Schengen instead of EU because there are countries which are not part of the EU but are of Schengen, such as Norway, for example. And european union citizens only need their national id cards to travel to those countries and vice-versa
Ill tell you more, if you travel by car you can get in at Sagres, Portugal the most western place in continental Europe, and drive to the border with Russia with 0 border control, or passport check ups.
A close runner up has to be British citizens visiting the Falklands.
at just over 8000 miles.
I was thinking that there is a plane from Breize Norton to Falklands via ascension islands. (also British). it is a military plane but you don't need a passport.. and I think they carry normal people too
An hopefully not geting beaten up by the locals 😂
Britain doesn't have national ID cards, so there's no way to establish identity without a passport
You need a passport for all commercial flights even intra UK/BOT.
@@ruk2227 you can use your driving license
An honourable mention: London to the british overseas territory of Pitcairn is 14,700km directly
There's no regularly scheduled transport between the two and it's worth noting that Pitcairn doesn't have an airport (nearest one is on Mangareva, 330 miles away) and can only be visited by boat.
and you need a government approval before going there because it's such a happy place.

Space has no restriction
Astronauts actually take their passports to space....
From Ponta Delgada (PDL) in the Azores -> Lisbon (LIS) -> Paris (CDG) -> Réunion (RUN) is 7624 miles/12271 kilometers.
The travel from the Azores (part of Portugal) via Lisbon to Paris is within the Schengen Area. EU citizens do not need to show a national ID card or passport when travelling in this border-free area, though documents may be requested. Réunion is an overseas department and region of France that is also an outermost region of the EU. This means an EU national can use an national ID card for travel from Paris, for example. It also means any EU citizen can not only travel to but also RESIDE in any/all of those places for an unlimited period.
From Svalbard to Reunion it's 11 300 km.
Corvo is the westernmost island of the Azores, it's possible to take it just a little further xD (it does have a tiny airport by the way)
I live 10 minutes away from Ponta Delgada!
Saint-Martin to Réunion is much longer (13 655 km) and they both are outer regions of EU. From Saint-Martin you need to take a flight to Guadeloupe from the airport on the French side of the island instead of using the main airport in the Dutch side. The Dutch Sint Maarten is not a part of the EU and requires a passport. From Guadeloupe you take a flight to Paris and from there a flight to Réunion.
@@maxfi878 If you are French, this would be correct however Saint-Martin is not within Schengen or France (unlike Réunion and Mayotte for example) and requires passports for non-French EU nationals.
@@stefantrandafir1099 Crossing the Schengen border from Svalbard to the mainland requires a passport whereas the French govt does not require passports for internal flights (e.g. to Mayotte or Réunion).

Just FYI Whangarei is pronounced fungarei. It’s a Maori word. Beautiful place by the way if anyone is visiting New Zealand
Just being a cheeky guy, but he'd be all goods if he's speaking like someone from W(h)anganui. ktk
I live in Whangarei, and right after I was done being stoked by the mention I was promptly triggered by the pronunciation
However, the old "w" pronunciation ("wonga-RAY") is still frequently used there - especially by older New Zealanders - even though it's generally considered 'incorrect' these days
In any case, you can't really expect a non-NZer to know that "wh" should be pronounced like an "f"
You cant leave NZ from Whangarei though

Yay! New Zealand got noticed! The 'Wh' in Whangarei is pronounced with a 'f' sound, so it's more like Fangarei. Just a heads up for when it definitely comes up again. Source: I live there.

"The way you tell a story through your videos is captivating. Keep up the amazing work!"
The thing about Guam is you would need to be careful when scheduling your flight. Though there are a few flights direct from Hawaii, most flights connect through Japan, in which case you would need a passport (unless traveling on military orders, in which case we have an agreement with Japan).
Citizens from South American countries don't need a passport to travel to any other country in South America. This excludes Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana. That means that you can travel from Puerto Williams, Chile to Tuputs, Colombia (7488 km) without a Passport, if you have a South American ID.
Ivan I found another one, Fortaleza, Brazil to Easter Island (vía Santiago de Chile) 9800 km aprox
Quote ..to any other other Unquote... Quote this excludes Unquote ANY is not a hard word to understand!
If you are a Chinese Citizen who travels in Santiago, Chile, you could technically walk in to a Chinese embassy and tell them that you passport is stolen and your visa in Chile is about to be expired. They would take you back to China and then you can fly to Xian, China with your Chinese identity card. Which allows you to travel 19,950 KM without a passport! 👌🏻 Mission accomplished! 😃
also to Cuba
Yeah, but you could do that with basically any country. Exploiting embassies is a bit like that UN passport though: Technically possible, but not really a fair comparison.
@@rjfaber1991 plus, you needed a passport to get there in the first place.
I think you need a police report to take to the embassy first though.
Btw. China checks if you have a Visa when you leave the country.
2:34 but why is it going from urepal, shouldn’t it go from the north or the tip of Brittany
I love it when he mentions NZ. Also love the attempt at pronouncing Whangarei, try saying it like this "Funga rei"
🙂👍
The “Wh” in Whangarei is pronounced as an “F”. Just letting ya know ❤️
What about traveling from Svalbard to Reunion as a Schengen citizen(Svalbard is technically outside the Schengen area though), or Kirkenes,Norway or something how long would that be, as there is no passport requirements inside Schengen.
Yeah was thinking the same thing? The most remote part of EU/Schengen to reunion must be pretty far?
@@dillogdall1 I think I got the longest now, Svalbard(Ny-Ålesund) to Longyearbyen-Oslo(Gardermoen)-Paris(Orly)-Tahiti(Fa'a'a) and ending in New Caledonia(direct flight from Tahiti), that should be the longest possible route and longer then the one in the US.
Because Earth is round, Ny-Ålesund is closer to New Caledonia than rest of Europe is (in a straight line)
The direct line from Svalbard to New Caledonia is also shorter (13.500 km) if you go south over Russia and China.
Technically the French overseas departments are part of the EU and most even use the Euro but they are not part of Schengen that only applies to mainland/metropolitan France. This means that you can travel there as a French citizen without a passport but not as a citizen of any other Schengen/EU country.
If you're South American (*w/ some exceptions) the further you can go is 8500 km, from Isla de Pascua (IPC) to Fernando de Noronha (FEN)
You could travel from Paris via one of the French Caribbean possessions to Tahiti. Just over 17,000km (10565 miles) of travel.
I love it vids, there so random and interesting, Each and every video makes my day :) @Half As Interesting
A few years ago, my friend and I both tried to see what's the two longest distances between the earth and even tried to use inverted maps that show which two points are directly opposite one another. The closest we got was Christchurch to Madrid, and today, we finally got our answer. Whangarei to Tangier. Thank you :)
I don’t know, what if you turned into an absolute mad lad and literally drove from one end of Russia to the other end?
Just take the Transsiberian railway
You can't drive to the westernmost point of Russia without a passport because that's an exclave. Also you can't drive to the easternmost point of Russia because there's literally no permanent road.
P.S. actually you can in winter but I would do so.
Chernobyl will greet you with flowers
You can't travel through Russia without a passport
You could go from France to vao🇳🇨 via reunión
Probably no regular flights from there
You could start from Martinique (french island) fly to Paris, and then fly to Reunion island and then go to vao

1/ Maripasoula - Cayenne - Paris - Tahiti - Totegegie
2/ Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon - Paris - Tahiti - Totegegie

If you're from one of the nordic countries, you can fly to Greenland with only some picture ID. E.g. your drivers licence. As for example a Dane, you can thus fly from Réunion to Paris, from Paris to Copenhagen and from Copenhagen to Kangerlussuaq and from Kangerlussuaq to Qaanaq. Which has got to be the longest distance.
If you're a citizen of Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, Brazil, Bolivia Peru, Ecuador or Colombia your can travel without passport among these countries. In fact, if you are a citizen of Argentina, Bolivia, Uruguay, Bolivia and Paraguay, you can also travel to Venezuela without passport.

Why u everywhere
That smooth transition though
I'm not sure where commercial space flights take off and land from but I'd imagine anyone in The U.S.A. Apollo missions went farther without a passport.
technically, if you where a citizen of any country that's part of the mercosur, you can walk from ushuaia in argentina to the northest part of brazil, even passing through paraguay, bolivia and uruguay if you wish. You only need your citizen id (that is also a mercosur id) without the need of a passport
I mean, that’s only if you don’t break the law

There are direct flights from Réunion to New Caledonia, so you can do the Urepel - Vao route with a layover in Réunion while still always staying in France.
I say réunion instead of reunion because I’m cultured
But you should spell it "Réunion".

As a citizen of Belgium, France, Germany, Italy or Portugal you can enter Egypt with your national ID card and two biometric photos for a 28 days stay. You then visit the area around the Toshka lakes and as a EU citizen hop on a flight back to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, then take a direct flight (only with technical stop at LAX) of Air France to Fa'a'ā International Airport, Papeete French Polynesia (still EU) and take a connecting flight to Tubuai - Mataura Airport, which is literally on the other side of the earth from the Toshka lakes with a distance of 20.021,37 km. There is hardly any way to beat that.
Last time I was at the USVI you do need a passport to enter the US again, but strangely you don’t need one to enter the USVI from the USA, just the other way you do need it.
I FOUND A LONGER DIDTANCE
From Guadalupe, France you can go to Paris or anywhere in the EU, from there you can go to reunion, if you go to both tips you'll have traveled 13500km without pasport
Edit I read miles and wrote km, those damn units
But 15300km > 13500km
O oops I read that wrong
You've got the right idea, though. St. Pierre & Miquelon to New Caledonia is the same distance (roughly) as the USVI to Guam.
"What's the Furthest An American or French Citizen Could Travel Without a Passport?"
now do one for the other 193 countries
The french distance counts for every single European country minus Russia, Belarus, ex non Schengen Yugoslavia, Albania and Ukraine too. Okay now onto all the other remaining country’s.
This is simply the farthest in the world. Him saying “drive from this end of the country to the other end of the country” 193 times would be a pretty sucky video
In the US, Canada, and Mexico, we have something called a "Nexus Card" which is part of the Trusted Traveler Programs. They're basically passports in a card that you don't need a passport to get. It's a travel document, much like a passport, that's only usable (as far as I know) in those three countries. I have never owned a passport in my life, but I have a Nexus Card. With that card, I can travel the "American Citizen" distance without US citizenship (Canadians get visa-free entry to the US), and there may even be a longer route that I haven't thought of.

You could extend the reunion one a bit by starting in northern Scotland-IIRC you can go from there to France with just ID. Of course, not nonstop.

Very simple. Find a place that is opposite the open sea and is in the same country as a port. Then travel to that port, get on a ship you either hired or bought, and then travel halfway around the earth. Done, maximum possible distance travelled. Bonus points for getting to a tiny island so you can get off your ship.
Also, there are plenty of international airports where you only need a passport to leave the secure area, not to get off the plane.

Probably something like from Kaliningrad (west) to Uelen (east)
going by the 0 Degree Greenwich Meridian, you're actually travelling *east*
The longest I could get was 7500km from Baltiysk (near Kaliningrad) to Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk.
@@nickm.777, no it's only 6500.

You can travel between Mercosur countries with only a ID card
If you have government clearance (as opposed to a passport) I have to imagine that there is a way to travel entirely via US locations and transportation from the north coast of Alaska to McMurdo Station in Antarctica.
Nostalgia note: For US citizens the passport requirement is something that came with the post- 9/11 security tighten up. Before that a birth certificate or driving license was all that was needed for travel to Canada, Mexico, Bermuda and Caribbean destinations. Mexico and Canada were not considered really "foreign" since they were not "overseas."
France, or the republic where the sun never sets
Half as Interesting, you have to stop with the Brit jokes. You're just beating a dead empire.

The pitcarin Islands to the uk exclaves on the island of cyprus is about 11,100 miles
fun fact: you can go from the virgin islands to guam (10k miles) without an ID card or passport.. The provider for this flight is united airlines and they (until real id laws change 2025) allow you to use a library card or even a credit card, neither of which even have your face on it. I actually tried this when I went from LA to Guam and it worked.
Hi. Thanks for doing what you do.
Hi
The 'wh-' is Whangarei is pronounced with 'f' in Te Reo, otherwise wonderful vid HAI!
Point udall in st. Croix was beautiful. We had a rental house about 10 minutes from there. I’d never seen a sunrise over the ocean before
Air Tahiti Nui just operated a one-off nonstop from Papeete (in French Polynesia) to Paris (in metropolitan France)
Whangarei is pronounced “Fahngaray.”
The longest distance is walking through every inch of Russia
Not even close
@@brazeiar9672 How's it not close, it's got 40000km of coastline, let alone it's land borders. Walking around the edge would be longer than any of these lol
@@PlaceboEllie Coastlines are undefined and variable
@@brazeiar9672 the land border isn't though and that's longer too, they are talking about going around not in a straight line
this guy's add transitions are on point
Flying Saint-Pierre to Paris to Reunion to Port-aux-Français in French Southern Lands is possible without a passport and those places are 16,000 km apart. The only problem with that is for the last leg, there are no commercial flights so it may be tricky to get one. You'll probably need to rent a plane.
