There are not 2 places where this can happen, but an infinity of places. One is located at the North Pole and the other "infinity minus 1" places are located close to the South Pole. You're probably looking for the one where when you have walked 1 mile due south the circumference of the Earth is exactly 1 mile, so if you walk 1 mile east (or west) you'll end up in the same location and then walk north.
However, you could also walk 1 mile south to where the circumference is half a mile and walk 2 times around or to where the circumference is one third and walk 3 times around and so on.
