Trips beyond borders
Foreign travel is journeying to countries other than one's own.
The phrase appears most often in official or formal contexts—visa applications, security clearances, travel advisories, insurance policies: The form asks about foreign travel in the past ten years.
What counts as foreign depends on perspective; the term implies crossing national borders rather than simply going somewhere unfamiliar.
