Nothing will happen to companies outside the EU. You can violate GDPR freely.

There is no possible way they can enforce any law, fine or penalty outside their borders. They won't even try.

I heard one person say that they were worried about traveling to Europe to visit if they had any GDPR violations. Do you that's a valid concern?

The EU or its member countries are free to arrest whoever they want whenever they want on their own soil, and not face any kind of externally enforceable sanctions. Best way to avoid being subject to arrest in a foreign country is to simply not go there.
