Yes, you can travel overseas but you would probably need a proper visa. This might be different from US passport holders. Check with the consulate of that country first to obtain this info.

It's recommended not to leave US for over 6 months in a year or you may lose your green card. If you really need to leave US for longer period of time, apply for re-entry permit (I-131) and make sure you receive the approval notice before you go.

Have fun....

It depends on the country in which you are visiting. Check with the countries to see if they require a visa. Easiest way of doing this is to call up one of the airlines.

I, myself, have a green card, and have traveled to England, Czech Republic, Netherlands, and Spain, without a visa.
