Welcome to my geographic overview.
I live in Pančevo, Serbia, at around 44°52' N, 20°39' E.
Below, there's a list of all the places I've visited throughout my life.

My home country, 
Serbia, is listed separately, for obvious reasons. Places that I have only driven through are not listed.
[edit] Notes
[edit] Geo extremes
I find geographical extremes interesting, because they can show how far you've been traveling.
- East
- 25°00' N, 121°35' E (Taipei Zoo, Taipei, Republic of China)
- North
- 50°14' N, 12°52' E (Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic)
- South
- 01°21' N, 103°59' E (Singapore Changi Airport, Singapore)
- West
- 40°41' N, 74°02' W (Liberty Island, New York City, USA)
Note: This lists only on-ground extremes; aircraft extremes are not considered.
[edit] Geo centers
"Geographic center" is also an interesting indicator. I've found this site to be of particular use when calculating geographic midpoints.
Now, I've calculated my midpoints by entering only the extremes, i.e. only 4 sets of latitude+longitude. Perhaps midpoint for all the visited places would be a better indicator, but it's quite impractical to input all of the coordinates, especially if you've visited lots of places.
So, here are my midpoints for my extremes:
- geographic midpoint: 58°06'47" N, 84°16'10" E (somewhere in the Novosibirsk Oblast, Russia)
- center of distance: 42°33'15" N, 101°58'28" E (somewhere in south Mongolia)
- average latitude/longitude: 29°18'59" N, 41°06'00" E (somewhere in the Northern Borders Region, Saudi Arabia)
