Similar words

どこでも
どこでも simply means 'anywhere' or 'everywhere' without the nuance of traveling or visiting places. 行く先々 specifically refers to the places one actually goes to.
至いたる所ところ
至る所 also means 'everywhere', but it is more literary and can refer to a static location being full of something, while 行く先々 implies movement and visiting multiple places.

Etymology

Compound of 行く (iku/yuku, 'to go') + 先々 (sakizaki, 'every place ahead' or 'future places'), literally 'the places one goes to one after another'.
