FYI. its for anyone who is within the territory of the EU, not necessarily citizens. So if a EU citizen is outside the EU, these rights no longer apply (based solely on the location of the user. there are other factors which might give everyone the same rights no matter the location)

Does that mean I can go to Europe and be covered by GPDR?

Theoretically, yes. (Art.3.2: https://gdpr-info.eu/art-3-gdpr/)
And because many compaies usually only have the IP as location information, a VPN should do the trick in most cases too.
Of course good luck enforcing your rights when you dont actually live there and the company ignores you..
