Looking for some help understanding **俺はどこまで行っても俺だ**.

I've googled and can see the phrase どこまで行っても being used fairly often, but
can't find an explanation, and what definition of 行く is being used here.

question
meaning
Meaning of 俺はどこまで行っても俺だ
> 「俺{おれ}はどこまで行{い}っても俺だ。」

is almost like a set phrase meaning:

> "I will always be me."

「どこまで行っても」 literally means " **no matter where I go** " and it can also
figuratively mean " **eternally** " or " **till the end of time** ".

Whether the 'movement' is spatial or temporal is of little importance here
unless the context this expression appears in clearly specifies one over the
other. To Japanese-speakers, 「どこまで行っても」 is fairly synonymous to
「いつまでも」、「何があっても」、「どんな時でも」, etc., which is why "I will always be me." should
cover them all in most cases.
