Trick question: it can’t be done. “East” means in the direction where the sun rises, and since the earth only turns in one direction, you’d always be going east unless you changed direction. If you flew east around the world in a plane and then came back to your original place of departure, you would be arriving from the west, which would mean you’d still be going East.

If you walk , swim , fly east you will eventually end up back where you started. You will have travelled the circumference of the Earth and will have always been travelling East from your starting point.

Personally that's going to take bloody ages SO! Go vertical in a hot air balloon and wait till your house comes back again 24 hours later then land on it ...... much quicker and you never budged an inch xxx

Glad to have helped x

Is this really a serious question....

If your heading Due-East and you only travel eastwards until you either reach your final destination or conk-out en-route,,,,. At no point will you be travelling westwards before you either arrive at your goal or expire due to the futile effort of trying to attain a different solution to the riddle,,,,,, no matter how many time you keep on circumnavigating the globe …… duh…..

Carry on Globetrotting.... Sydney !!!,,, Oui, Matron

If I was going East, I wouldn't be starting from here.
