TL;DR Summary

On average, a person will travel 30,000 to 50,000 miles on Earth's surface in their lifetime. However, due to Earth's rotation, each person actually travels around 600 million miles. When factoring in Earth's orbit around the sun, the distance increases to roughly 50 billion miles. Additionally, the sun's orbit around the Milky Way galaxy adds another 370 million miles to a person's lifetime travel. Taking into account the motion of the Milky Way and the expansion of the universe, each person will travel approximately 930 billion miles in their lifetime, even if they never leave home.
