Morphology
The meaning 'to go to or visit countries outside one's own' is directly and transparently built from 'travel' (to journey) + 'abroad' (in/to another country). This simple verb + adverb composition matches common cross-linguistic patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
The phrase travel abroad creates a simple picture: travel means to go on a journey and abroad brings the idea of going outside your country, even across the sea. So travel abroad means 'to go to other countries'.
