Solution

Here, "farther" (comparative adverb; used to indicate the extent to which one thing is distant from another) is the more appropriate and suitable word and not "further". A quick and easy tip is to use “farther” for physical distance and “further” for a metaphorical or figurative distance.
The farther you go from home, the more you miss it.
