"Journey" and "travel" are synonyms, meaning that they both have meanings so similar that they are generally interchangeable. However, "journey" usually implies something akin to an adventure or a long-lasting experience. "Travel", alternatively, usually implies that something is not as long-lasting as a journey and generally refers to a vacation. Also, "journey" is generally used as a noun, while "travel" is generally used as a verb. Each have both noun and verb definitions, however. Ultimately, it is up to you to decide which word you would like to use!

'Journey' is always a noun. 'He went on a long journey'. 'Did you have a good journey?' 'Travel' can be either: a) A verb: 'He travels a lot in his job'. b) An uncountable abstract noun: 'I like music, photography and travel'. c) A plural noun: 'He wrote a book about his travels in Asia'. Travel can NEVER be a countable singular noun. You cannot say 'a travel' or 'the travel'. If you want to translate 'un voyage' or 'un trajet', you have to use 'journey' (or 'trip'), never 'travel'. I hope that helps.

They have similar meanings and both can be a noun or verb, but "journey" is typically used as a noun and "travel" is typically used as a verb. ie: I would like to travel around the would. I would like to take that journey with you. Hope that helps.
