Traveling [place] implies you're seeing a large enough portion of it to be representative to all of [place]. That's what this is making fun of. Nobody says 'im travelling the US' when theyre just going to NYC and Florida. At most they'd say they're going TO the US. That's just what those respective phrasings imply. The meme isn't ripping on not travelling or not travelling everywhere.

I have never heard anyone say that they're "travelling Europe" in my life. I don't think this is a thing. I've heard people say "I'm going to [insert European country]" instead. I've heard people claim to backpack across Europe, though I don't know where that usually entails.
