A study of 2,000 adults revealed the top 40 things people only typically do when abroad, with dining out daily coming top (47 per cent), followed by drinking at the airport (29 per cent) and not worrying about money (29 per cent).

However, while this decreases slightly with each generation, even 89 per cent of those
