the only place that is going to be physically far from any fallout is going to be off-planet. Wind & rain go everywhere.

The dose makes the poison.
Most of the fallout will all nearby. I'd try to avoid contamination a few weeks because the radioactive Iodine has a half life of 8 days. Everything else decays too fast or too slow. (I'm not sure how difficult is to get some Iodine pills, just in case. They are quite small.)
Also, "nuclear winter" will be not as hard as the initial models estimate. I hope we don't try anyway. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_winter#Criticism_and_d...

well, dont forget that all major cities will be wiped, but not small ones nor tows nor villages.
There will be plenty people around immediately afterwards. Fallout is not the only thing you will have to be concerned with.
Do you think Johnny and boys who help build and/or stock those bunkers will forget about them?
Many unaffiliated countries would not be nuked at all.
Most ultra-rich people looking to survive nuclear war or a climate crisis, are locating their refuge in parts of the world that are agriculturally self-sufficient, and militarily unaffiliated, and physically far from the war and any fallout.
