Explanation
Set expressions go bare: estar en casa, ir a clase, hablar por teléfono, viajar en tren. Tener + category noun too: tenemos reunión, no tengo idea.
Most countries take no article (vivo en Bolivia, viajo a Francia); a handful traditionally allow one (el Perú, la Argentina, los Estados Unidos), with bare forms now common everywhere.
