Hi Sammy here is an explanation of these 3 words and others related to it: trip= Going from one place to another. Can be used for short and unimportant matters. Sometimes used where the process of going is more important than the destination. journey= Going from one place to another. Usually not used for short and unimportant matters. tour= Going to several places of interest, to look at them. voyage= On a ship, going from A to B. cruise= On a ship, going to several places, for pleasure, not for business. travel = As a noun, a very general term for the process of going from A to B.

I travel all the time, a trip might last a week, a journey sounds like at least a month.

Journey describes travelling from one place to another over a considerable distance Trip is often travelling to a place and coming back the same day and so it is not usually long. Tour describes travelling from one place after another over a period of days/weeks and visiting various towns/cities and in the end coming back to where you started.
