Of course it's allowed. There are muslims all around the world and remember all this is the almighty allah's world.

The entire world belongs to God almighty. Why shouldn't you be able to travel it?

Answer 16

Hadith:

‘Utlub il ‘ilma wa law fis-Sin.

The Prophet (s) said, “Seek knowledge even in China,”

Now tell me which type of knowledge would you get in China? Is it religious knowledge or something else?

Answer 17

The hadith says travel the world in search of knowledge, even if you have to go all the way to China. The Quran says travel the world and see (the ruins of) what happened to the people who came before you.
