There were and have always been trading and other exchanges all over the world. The Egtved girl was traveling from north to central Germany, probably for marriage. Now, if we mean most people did not do this, then sure. But there's a persistent idea that ancient cultures were not in contact with each other, and this is largely disproven.
It is fascinating that both of these are equality true in the ancient world:
1. Most of the population never leave their city or town of birth.
2. Some people went on multi-year pilgrim, voyage, or trading route. Even multiple time in their life.
