Fully admitted but merely traveling the world doesn’t boost one’s IQ.
Very true. But living in 3 different countries for 8 years total will expose you to new cultures, people and points of view. So it tends to open your mind to being more receptive to change and things that are different than what you are used to.
I know people that are from Louisiana, went to college here and never moved away from here. While they are intelligent people, some of them are extremely closed minded.

I met some people in South TX that never left South TX. Probably had never been more than 4 hours away from home. It's bewildering.

Which is very subjective, in this day and age.
That's simply a matter of perspective.

And OTOH, I know people who grew up here, left, and now act like they had people burning crosses on their front lawn every other weekend now that they are in an east coast big city.
Exposure to other cultures and areas still doesn’t stop you from being a bigoted, closed minded person.
