Are the following sentences correct in terms of grammer when they intend the same meaning.
- I kicked around the idea of going abroad for travel.
- I kicked around going abroad for travel.
I am not sure if the second is correct grammatically and which of the two is better in grammar.
Thank you.
'Kicking an idea around' is usually done by more than one person; a single person can 'kick around <an-area>', but in that case no idea is involved.

PS Related vocab with totally different meaning: ...and if one person doesn't want an idea to be discussed he can 'kick it into the long grass'.
