TRAVEL / TRIP / JOURNEY http://www.youtube.co m/watch? v=8oIAceWWNEU
TRIP The act of going to another place (often for a short period of time) and returning. We took a five-day trip to the Amazon. You’re back from vacation! How was your trip? I went on business trips to Switzerland and Germany last month. Use the verbs “take” and “go on” with trip. A round-trip ticket is a ticket for going and coming back. A one-way ticket is only for going.
Travel (v.) Going to another place (in general). I really like to travel. He travels frequently for work. My sister is currently travelling through South America.
Travel (n.) Travel (n.) can be used to describe the act of travelling in general: Travel in that region of the country is dangerous. World travel gives you a new perspective.
Incorrect uses of travel: How was your travel? How was your trip? I’m planning a travel to the U.S. next year. I’m planning to travel to the U.S. next year. I’m planning a trip to the U.S. next year.

He made the 200-mile journey by bike. “A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step” - Lao-tze, Tao Te Ching We can also use journey in a more “metaphorical” way to talk about progress in life: He has overcome a lot of problems on his spiritual journey. My uncle is an alcoholic, but he’s beginning the journey of recovery.
