Europeans are far more traveled than Americans and Canadians

Look at the size of the countries! Canada and the U.S. are both continent sized (literally, both are bigger than Australia). Florida alone (a mid-sized state) is larger than England. It is a 14 hour drive from one end of the state (Key West) to the other (Pensacola).

Size doesn't really mean anything. It's the amount of airlines operating that makes the difference. It's about cost. It's cheaper for me to fly to Japan than Montreal.

I just mean that the more airlines a country has, the cheaper it is to fly and travel. That's why Europe is so cheap to go from England to Spain (for example). They have a multitude of airlines that fly to the same places so they have to compete price wise.

Flying from the UK to Europe and North Africa is cheap. It is like U.S domestic fly prices to lots of places.

Prices tend to depend on popularity as that determines how many flights airlines will run on that route.

Brits , Aussies, Irish and Canadians do seem to do a lot more international travel.

Almost everyone I know has traveled outside the country and a lot of them have traveled outside of Europe as well.

76% of British people owned passports in 2011. Passports are one of the primary forms of ID in the UK though while I believe they aren't in the U.S. Americans have actually been traveling more with each new generation. In 1994 only 10% of Americans owned passports and now it is up to 40%.

 

[terry78]

It is kind of a low-key "why do we need to go anywhere when we got what we need here?" mindset among some of us. My sister was talking about going to Dubai and my mom was like, it's crazy over there, why would you want to go so far, etc. Comfort zone.

 

[Spider-Fan]

Currently in PA

US: DE, FL, MD, MI, NJ, NY, OH, PA, VI, WV& DC (I know not a state, but listing anyway)

Countries: UK & Canada

Yeah, my travel is light

 

[Dark Raven]

I realise I haven't been to many places compared to others I know. It's about having the money to go places and people to go with or to visit. I wouldn't go somewhere on my own, or to a place with others where they're spending excessively. I would rather put my money towards more essential things.

 

[JimThompson]

United States:
Every state except Alaska and Hawaii.

Rest of the world:
Germany (east and west before the wall came down), England, Italy, Austria, Czechoslovakia, France, Spain, Morocco, Liberia, Kosovo, Bosnia, Russia, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Philippines, Netherland, Iceland, Greenland, Sweden, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Venezuela, Panama, and Guyana...though I am probably forgetting a couple.

 

[Mandon Knight]

I know for a fact, if I was American and lived in USA, I'd be of the mindset, I was blessed to have such a varied landscape and opportunity of seeing new places within my own country, I can see the reasoning behind not having to travel from one's own landscape. I've pretty much been to every nook & cranny my own country, the UK, has to offer.

While that may be true, I think you are also too dismissive of the distance issue. The distance from London to Madrid is shorter than the distance from Boston to Chicago by about a hundred miles. Each state in the US is the size of a country in Europe (not counting Russia). Size matters in another way as well. Not only is it further to get to another country, but it means there is simply more in the US than England so there is less reason to leave. We don't have to go to another country if we want to go skiing in the mountains or visit the beach and dive in a coral reef in the winter. We have practically everything.
