Yes, you can travel abroad. Just a note that when you reenter the US you won't be in F-1 status. Instead you will be paroled into the US under section 212(d)(5) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.

So does a parole guarantees me entry into the USA 100% regardless of my f1 status ?

Not 100%. But as good as. 100% guarantee is only provided to certain groups of people. So strictly speaking even GC holders are not guaranteed entry but there must be something very wrong for entry to be denied.

I'll phrase it like this: AP travel is very low risk.

 

Only US nationals and American Indians born in Canada (with at least 50% American Indian blood) are 100% guaranteed entry to the US.

99.99% yes,  but non citizens are never guaranteed entry into USA.
