The quick answer to this question is about 2,540,000 light years.
To put that figure in perspective, however, I will illustrate how big a light year is.
Light travels at about 670 million miles per hour. In one year, it will go 5,878,625,400,000 miles (5.878 trillion miles). That is a light year.
Our fastest spacecraft so far, Voyager 1 has taken 31 years to fly just 10,000,000,000 (10 billion) miles. It will take about 16,360 years just to fly one light year.
If Voyager 1 were flying towards Andromeda at its current speed, it would take 41.3 billion years (3 times the current age of the Universe) to get there. However, Andromeda is coming this way, and will collide with the Milky Way
in about 2 billion years. Humans will have evolved, and we would have moved out of Sol due to gravity assist. Bit of a nerd joke: Maybe find the universes and races from Mass Effect. That was a joke.
