going abroad
Traveling to Europe
Going abroad means traveling to a foreign country, leaving one's home nation for another: She's going abroad for the summer, He studied abroad in Spain.
The phrase treats "abroad" as a destination unto itself, emphasizing the foreignness of the destination rather than any specific place.
In older usage, going abroad could simply mean going outside or leaving one's house.
