    ReplyDelete
  5. Brazil? The farthest I've traveled is across the US from California to Florida

    ReplyDelete

  8. drawing a blank on where you are. Furthest I have been is half way around the world to New Zealand. 20000 km, give or take a few.

  9. I was thinking maybe Buenos Aires or Australia, but I really wouldn't know because the only place I've been outside of United States was Spain, France, and Italy. Fun blog hop. Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  10. I'm guessing Portugal. Don't ask why cause I don't know. I have travelled from Canada to Germany and south through North, Central and South America as far as La Paz, Bolivia. But according to all the distance calculators I've checked the longest trip I've taken in actual miles was from St. John's Newfoundland to Whitehorse, Yukon - 8106 kilometres.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Definitely Buenos Aires. I live in Jersey off the coast of France and the furthest I've been is Peru.

    ReplyDelete
  12. I recognize one of the buildings, it's Buenos Aires! The farthest I've travelled to has been san Francisco, from Ireland where I live... although I am from Barcelona, Catalonia. Thanks for the chance!

    ReplyDelete
  13. Everyone seems to think it is Buenos Aires, but to be honest I don't recognise any of the pictures. I live in England and the farthest I have travelled is to the states. Your pouches are lovely, thank you for sharing.

  14. Everyone seems to think Buenos Aires but I have to admit I have no idea. I have never left the East Coast 3rd of Australia. I have been to a lot of NSW, a bit of QLD (about half way up to the North) and around the Coast and across VIC a few times. Would love to travel more & plan to one day.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I was thinking Paris but the shot with the container ship doesn't work. I live near Toronto, Ontario--I've been to Europe--Stockholm, London, and Paris.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Buenos Aires, Argentina is where you travelled. :)
    The farthest I've ever been from home was in Sweden...and I'm from Germany, so that wasn't really far and didn't involve any flying.

    Thanks for the chance to win!

    ReplyDelete
  17. Buenos Aires, I think. I live in Nova Scotia and the furthest I have travelled is to visit family in beautiful Alberta. Thanks for the chance to win your giveaway and have fun with the Hop.

  18. I didn't recognize the photos, either. I need to get out more! :) The farthest I've traveled is to Italy, via France, from Atlanta, GA.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Argentina - that tree is gorgeous! Furthest I have been from Arkansas is Anchorage Alaska, but I have been through every state except Hawaii so I don't know how many miles I have put on my travel chart!

    ReplyDelete
  20. I've never been farther than about 2,000 miles away from home. I am such a homebody.

    ReplyDelete
  21. argentina. I have been there also. got to love the beef!

  23. Wow what wonderful pictures. I have no idea where you went. But hope you had a great time. The fartheset Ive traveled is from California to Florida.

    ReplyDelete

    Thanks for the chance!

    ReplyDelete

  38. Buenos Aires! I am so jealous. I have only traveled outside the US once. It was to Jamaica on my Honeymoon! We would love to travel but with two little ones that may be put off for a while! Love the chance to win and those pouches are great!

    ReplyDelete
  39. Argentia?? One year my husband and I spent the year traveling and circumnavigated the globe. I'm not sure if we ever figured out the farthest point (which I'm sure had to be in Australia as we are in SK, Canada) nor did we ever keep track of kilometers traveled.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Buenos Aires, Argentina. I've travelled 6300 miles from home. Thanks for the lovely giveaway!

  76. I surely am not one to guess exotic destinations because I have only travelled no farther than my car can move in about 12 hours from home... 800 kms maybe? I did fly from my old home to my new home tho and that was about 2500kms but I don't think that counts because as I left one the other became home! Your photography is well done and I love the picture of the flower sculpture and that beautiful old tree!

    ReplyDelete
  77. I have never left the east coast of america, but i have been from maine to Florida.

    ReplyDelete
  79. Buenos Aires, Argentina is my guess. I haven't ever been on a different Continent, but, I have been from Canada to Mexico and from California to New York. Not in the same trip, but, there are only 8 states in the US I haven't been to. Cute giveaway....thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  80. In all honesty I do not know for other than you were in South America. I looked for identifying something to find a clue. Itau and Claro were the only two. So I am guessing Argentina. It looks quite lovely! My furthest travel was from NC to Nevada. I've never been out of the US. Hubby and I are dreaming of a trip to Ireland. Ahhh someday! Cute giveaway. Thanks for the opportunity to win.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  84. Maybe Buenos Aires? The farthest I have been is HI. Thanks for this Great Giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  85. Lots of people are guessing Buenos Aires so I am going to guess the same- wherever you were- it looks like it was warmer than here at home in Alberta.
    We have travelled across Canada to Newfoundland and to Europe to Italy and England and Scotland- those trips were along time ago now.
    It looks like you had a fabulous time. Thanks for sharing your photos.
    Your pouches look lovely- I am sure that your winner will love your prize.
    Warmest regards,
    Anna

  86. I tried not to look, cos I didn't want to put down what someone else said, but I was really tempted. LOL I really would not have had a clue...I've not traveled much or far! I sure love those pouches you pictured....lovely fabrics. :)

    ReplyDelete

  93. Hello,
    Interesting photos, hope you had a good trip to Argentina- Buenos Aries
    Country of the new pope.
    I suppose the farthest that I have travelled was to move from Southern Alberta to live in Prince Edward Island.

  94. I'm not sure - I'm thinking somewhere in South America. The farthest I've ever traveled would be California or Texas (I'm in northern US and never traveled outside the country ... yet)

    ReplyDelete
  95. I'm going to guess Buenos Aires! If that's correct, you really had an exciting trip, and I'm sure saw some beautiful scenery. The farthest I've been from Virginia is Israel and Italy.

    ReplyDelete
  96. I have travelled around the world a few times.... and usually get about 100,000-150,000 airline miles a year.

    ReplyDelete
  97. That flower sculpture has to be Buenos Aires! I hope you found some good fabric there. It looks like you had great weather for your trip. I have been around the globe, literally from N. America to Europe and Asia and back across both the Atlantic and Pacific.

    ReplyDelete
  98. I couldn't tell but I see everyone else is saying Buenos Aires which must be a wonderful place to visit. You are a lucky one to get to travel like that. When I lived in San Francisco we traveled all the way to Montreal one year, camping the whole way. I'm not sure how far that was but we were gone for 40 days. Sounds Biblical, doesn't it? It was a wonderful journey and Montreal was great. Thanks for letting us visit. If you're not too tired of traveling, please come by Prairie Cottage Corner and say hello. We'll visit and have some tea and scones.
