Ooh...5 I think for me
I love travelling.
I went to New Zealand (and back via Dubai) in January, I'm going to Italy tomorrow, Ireland in July and Montreal in Nov. I also want to go away in Sept but not booked that yet!
I've also already been away 4 times in UK for weekend breaks, and have another 2 booked for June and July!

If daytrip counts - i'll have to increase my answer to around 50! But i live in N.Ireland so am quite often over the border!
I think perhaps the definition of overseas should be overseas! ie: if your from Engkand Scotland or Wales, Ireland is overseas, if your from Ireland, England, Scotland or Wales is overseas!
I did think of that as I was writing it - but then decided it was overcomplex and people in NI could decideMartin Lewis, Money Saving Expert.

5+ for me. I have family in Spain and New Zealand and friends all over the world so I can travel quite cheaply.
I could make it better myself at home. All I need is a small aubergine...
I moved to Liverpool for a better life.
And goodness, it's turned out to be better and busier!0 -
I'm lucky enough to have a little holiday home in the Irish Republic so it will be around 12 for me but maybe that doesn't count? We would usually have at least one trip abroad but not this year, strikes and volcanoes put us off.0

Feel quit ok about taking trips abroad, as we go as a family to visit friends in Sweden and Kazakhstan. This is inexpensive overall, as Ryanair fly us for near nothing and the cost to Kazak isn't too much (do not use British Airline). So, taking trips to other places is what we call a visitors permit, going to places we love to visit and get plenty of pleasure in staying with friends. Maybe you all should try to do this and save loads of dosh!0
