To explore the sea you have to leave your normal place on land and go out on boats. So if you leave home to study in a university, you might then have to leave the university to go out on boats.

As a computational / data scientist, I either work from home or in our department’s office most of the time.
For research which requires a lot of computing power, I use high-performance computing facilities which are physically located elsewhere, for example at a university campus. These can be accessed remotely from a laptop, so you don’t need to travel to the supercomputer to use it.
I also often use data from experiments from around the world, but generally the data is transferred digitally and again doesn’t require being at the lab to use. Sometimes I will travel to a given lab for a tour to better understand the experimental side of things, which is really helpful to get context, but it’s not required on a daily basis.
Most of the traveling I do for work is to attend conferences where researchers gather to share the results of their recent studies and have discussions and make new contacts in the field.

I moved away to university at 18 to study because my local university didn’t do the subject I wanted to do (and also because I’d had enough of living with my parents!). I had a choice of maybe five places which did my course so I chose the course and university I liked best. I moved again to do a research degree – although I could have stayed at the same university where I did my undergraduate degree. There’s different ways of studying though if you don’t want to, or can’t, move e.g. the Open University.

Working as an aerospace engineer – most projects are international, so I lived in Germany for 3 years, and also regularly travel to the USA (usually for short 2 week sessions). I love travelling and experiencing new cultures, so if you want a career where you can travel the world – do consider engineering.
