The general activity of moving from place to place is travel:He came home after years of foreign travel.
If a person moves from place to place over a period of time, we speak of their travels:
Did you go to Rome during your travels?
A journey (usually trip in American English) is the time spent and the distance covered in going from one particular place to another:
a long journey by train from Paris to Moscow
Persepolis was ten days' journey across the desert.
A voyage has the same meaning but it is only by sea:
The voyage from England to Australia used to take several months.
A trip is a short journey, or one on which you spend only a short time in another place, then come back:
We'll have time for a trip to France next weekend.
