Morphology
The meaning 'to journey to many countries or explore different places around the globe' is directly and compositionally built from 'travel' (to journey) plus 'world' (the globe), following a normal verb + object pattern. This is a common, cross-linguistically transparent construction, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
The phrase travel the world may come from the time when people first sailed or walked all around the globe, creating a clear image of going everywhere. So, travel the world means 'to journey to many countries or see many different places'.
