If you imagine that the earth is a sphere (which it isn't, but close enough) then you can try to answer this question by holding a tennis ball. You can see that the tennis ball has a top and a bottom (north pole and south pole), no matter how you hold it, but it never has a far left or a far right. Hope this helps :)
There is not an East Pole nor is there a West Pole. This is because Earth rotates from west to east, and there aren't poles in the directions a planet rotates.
Likewise, there are places where you can't go further north or further south; however, there technically is not a place where you can't go further east or further west.
