Vanlis, travel is going from one place to the other by car, train etc., e.g. I am going to travel to Chile tomorrow. Travel is also the overall act of taking or making a trip or journey. Trip is indicative of traveling for relatively short distances. E.g. it’s a short trip from Baltimore to Philadelphia. “I will never travel by train to the Bronx again” when describing the relatively short trip from New York City to the Bronx. Journey is indicative of traveling for long distances or periods of time e.g. a week’s journey by train from New York to Los Angeles. I have known people to use trip and journey interchangeably for example: “that was an exhausting trip” when referring to a long or arduous journey. In the United States I find it common for people to say for e.g. I am / you are/ we are taking a trip to the Caribbean or I am / you are/ we are traveling to the Caribbean. NO ONE typically says I am /you are/ we are Journeying to the Caribbean or anywhere else for that matter when discussing their travel plans. When you return from any travel activity it’s more likely that someone would ask: How was your trip? Regardless of whether you toured the world or went from Santiago to Valparaiso. Quite frankly, I would only expect journey to be used in more formal settings or in writings. So here are some example sentences: -I will travel to America next year. -I am also taking a trip to Madrid in the Summer -While in Madrid, I will make the journey from Madrid to Barcelona, Rome, Paris, London, and Copenhagen then back to Santiago. -My Parents went on a long journey, they toured Europe and Africa for an entire month! -My travel plans include a trip to Miami.

Jose's answer above is very helpful, but I'll add my two cents. A trip and journey are nouns, travel is a verb. A trip can be short or long. You can take a trip to Paris or a trip to the grocery store. So it's used in many contexts. A journey is generally long, and the word describes the process of travelling itself. If I talk about my trip to Paris, I'm going to talk about Paris itself, not really the trip there. If I talk about my Journey across the ocean, I'm going to tell you about the ship and the waves and the weather, not my destination. I can travel to Paris, and when I get back tell you about my trip. I can take a journey through Alaska and tell you about lots and lots of snow. I hope that's helpful.
