I believe the answer is:

overseas

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'abroad' is the definition.
(both can mean in another country)

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for overseas that I've seen before include "In a foreign country" , "In foreign parts" , "abroad - with 12a" , "Exotic" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
