Btw you can do it also in Germany more or less.

I believe it's possible also in France .

Edit: don't want to insult anyone, I was just curious, nothing else.

    You can fly 10+ hours from France and still land in France 💀

    Imagine the horror of not being able to escape France. Truly a fate worse than death

    Yes, those are countries, not single states within a country. Different things.

    edit: ya'll are acting so fucking weird in this comment thread. Jesus Christ I don't even give a shit about the size of America or the US/EU pissing contest, I was merely and correctly pointing out the non-equivalence of the items being compared. Holy shit get a fucking life if you give two shits about the topic itself, goddamn. The hate boner some of you have for one country or another to the point of spite downvoting and intentionally misinterpreting shit is fucking ridiculous.

    For comparison, Bellingham, WA to Key West, FL. Same country, 2 days without stops.

    I tried Brazil. Got 79h going East to West from Recife to Cruzeiro do Sul and 90h going South to North from Chuí to Oiapoque. Granted, our roads aren't the best but you're still looking at over 5000km of travel either way.

    That's a long ass road trip, thanks for sharing. I was trying to get directions from Alaska to southern Argentina but Google said nope

    My question is how much of that is highway travel and/or straight? In the Texas map most of that travel will be highways at 80mph. I know Germany has the autobahn but living in Colombia has made me suspicious of long travel times which actually have short distances traveled since this country is very mountainous and I don't think a straight road exists here.

    Just for funsies I looked it up and Miami FL to Seattle WA is a 48 hour drive. Longest I found within the continental US upon a quick googling of recognizable cities.

    Thats a bit more than the Alaska to Miami drives I found. I think there one where you can drive all the way to an arctic research base in a similar timeframe.
