travel abroad

Visit other countries

Travel abroad means to journey to a foreign country—anywhere outside one's home nation.

The phrase emphasizes crossing international boundaries rather than domestic travel: She's always wanted to travel abroad, He spent a year traveling abroad after college.

Abroad alone often carries this meaning, but the full phrase makes the international element explicit.
