معنی
To travel to a country that is not your own.
زمینه فرهنگی
The 'Gap Year' is a huge cultural phenomenon where students go abroad for a year before university. It's seen as a way to gain maturity. Because the US is so large, many Americans travel domestically. Going abroad is often seen as a significant 'international' milestone requiring a passport, which many Americans only get later in life. Australians often use the term 'overseas' more than 'abroad' because they are on a massive island. 'Going overseas' often involves very long flights. Going abroad to study (出国留学 - chūguó liúxué) is highly prestigious and seen as a major investment by families in their children's future.
The 'To' Trap
Never say 'go to abroad'. It is the most common mistake for English learners. Just say 'go abroad'.
Use with 'Ever'
When asking about someone's life, 'Have you ever been abroad?' is slightly more common in the UK than 'Have you ever gone abroad?'

Adverbial Power
Remember that 'abroad' works like 'home'. You don't need 'to' for either!
Overseas vs Abroad
If you are in the US or UK, use 'overseas' to sound even more like a native speaker.
