Trip vs. Travel

This time, we're gonna focus on the differences and similarities between these words. I can see that you've built a startling learning habit.

What Is Their main Difference?

Both refer to actually going to another location in order to relax and have fun. It can be another city, town, country, etc. However, 'trip' is a noun and it is the act of moving to a different place temporarily in order to have fun. 'Travel' is a verb that signifies going on a journey.

Differences

As stated above, 'travel' is a verb. It indicates going to a different place in order to have fun. Check out the following examples:

So, when are you travelling to London?

It seems that no one else wants to travel with you anymore.

'Trip', on the other hand, is a noun and it indicates the act of going on a journey. We mainly use the verbs 'go' and 'take' and the preposition 'on' when we have 'trip'. Check out the following examples:

I'd love to come to the party, but we're going on a trip tomorrow night.

So, tell me all about your last trip.

Similarities

Both refer to moving to another place temporarily in order to relax a bit and have fun. Check out the following examples:

My family are going to travel to Ireland this week.

How has your trip to Istanbul been so far?

Are They Interchangeable?

Although they both refer to going on a journey, they cannot be used interchangeably because 'trip' is a noun, while 'travel' is a verb. Compare:

✓ Even if I come here a million times, I will always love travelling to Rome.

X Even if I come here a million times, I will always love tripping to Rome.

Here, 'trip' is actually a verb and it has a completely different meaning so it is totally wrong.
