A trip is an instance of traveling. A trip is when you travel from ooint A to point B. Trips are specific and countable. I took four trips last year. I made a trip to the grocery store last night. How was your trip to France? My trip was interrupted by bad weather. I can list each trip from point A to point B, from point B to point C, etc. Travel is a verb that describes the action of moving from one place to another (from A to B). This word emphasizes the action of traveling and is non-specific and uncountable. I traveled around the world. My travels (in my lifetime) have taken me all to many countries over the world. These travels may have included 5 trips or 50 trips. We cannot be sure because "travels" refers to the action of traveling, which may have been spread out over many non-specific trips. "My trips" is specific and countable and is not the same as "my travels" (non-specific and uncountable). I hope this helps.

"trip" is the normal countable noun and "travel" is the normal uncountable noun (not "travels"). "travels" (countable, plural) is used in a more literary way to refer to an unspecific number of many trips e.g. He's on his travels again this time of year. e.g. His travels took him to the other end of Europe.
