A recent poll has found that the average Brit travels 248,000 miles in a lifetime, the equivalent of 10 trips around the world.
The survey also found that whilst 83% of the population has visited France, we also have a liking for more far-flung destinations, such as Asia, the Americas and South Africa.
Whilst there is a distinction between the luxury holidays favoured by the over 50's and the cheap air tickets snapped up by the younger backpacking crowd, it seems we Brits are an adventurous lot.
