NeoEpisteme, the type of travel you mention, such as volunteering and mission trips, is by all means both helpful for college admissions as well as potentially life-changing. It’s a fantastic experience.

However, the OP didn’t mention anything other than the fact that he travels a lot, which most likely means he is not involved in any sort of positive cause while he is overseas. If this is not the case, the OP should correct me and my stance will be different, but rewarding a person in the application process for having enough money to travel extensively in my opinion is not a good idea.

It’s similar to the nonselective summer programs at certain elite colleges that some people ask about. They don’t help because the only thing they say about you is that you have money.
