Overseas
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Overseas, meaning literally a place over an ocean, the term is for some countries synonymous with the word international. The term implies at least a large distance, for instance a small trip over a sea would not be considered 'overseas' travel.
In the United States, overseas might refer to Europe, Asia or Africa but may not refer to other countries in North America or South America. In Australia, overseas means any country outside Australia, although the term is not usually used for nearby countries such as New Zealand or Papua New Guinea. Similarly in the United Kingdom it is usually used to refer to countries outside Europe.
