According to a very ancient tradition, John made Jerusalem his headquarters. There he cared for Jesus' mother, Mary, until her death, and after the destruction of Jerusalem, he moved to Ephesus which had become the geographic and numerical center of the Christian church.

Another Answer:

Others have said that from 17 Jun 31 AD, when Stephen was stoned to death (Acts 7:57-60), the new followers of Jesus would become to disperse. When Peter was miraculously released from prison in circa 43 AD, he first went to James, the step-brother of Jesus and put him in charge of the Church of God @ Jerusalem. It appears he is the only permanent Apostle to remain there.

The French have a tradition that Jesus' mother Mary, journeyed into Gaul. This would lend heavily to the Apostle John also being there in his early ministry as Jesus committed him to the care of his earthly mother. She naturally would travel to where John was working. We have already seen where Paul traveled through Gaul to go to Spain in Romans 15:24, 28).

John is said to have been banished to the Isle of Patmos at the end of his ministry - circa 90-100 AD where he wrote at least his last Scripture revealed from Christ - Revelation.
