It would require a perfect measurement of your state (this means all of your constituent particles) on Earth. Around 10^29 baryons + about the same order of magnitude of electrons that you need to 'encode' is a pretty large amount of things you can get wrong before getting to the 'information-only' state. Then you need to build it back.If information can be instantly transferred from one place to another... to heck with space travel. Just beam yourself to Alpha Centauri and skip all the annoying travel time and discomfort.
