Difference between travel and journey
Travel refers to the act of going from one place to another, while a journey is the overall act of traveling from one place to another. Travel is typically used as a verb, as in 'They traveled to London by train.' Journey, on the other hand, is always a noun and refers to the act of traveling. For example, 'My journey to work takes 20 minutes.'
Understanding trips
A trip is a noun that describes the process of traveling to a place, staying there, and then returning home. It involves doing things at the destination. For instance, we might say 'I went on a business trip to Thailand' to refer to the experience of traveling to Thailand for work. 'Trip' can also be used as a verb unrelated to travel, as in 'I tripped while walking down the street.'
