Hi,
Travel is often used to describe visiting different places/countries. It is the action of doing that and is often used in the plural as in: During his travels through the world he went to many isolated regions.
Journey is one particular movement from one place to another: Many people often read in the train on their daily journey to and from work.

I could do with one of those right now (I mean the holiday, not the wild animals)!
Alan, just one little thing. Isn’t there a word missing after ‘wildlife’? Shouldn’t the adjective ‘various’ be followed by a plural noun? |

Hi Conchita,
You're quite right. Thanks - it should be various types of wildlife.
