Could you possibly tell me what the difference is between these?

1:eek:ur travel from paris to moscow by train was good.

2.our journey from paris to moscow by train was good.

(of course I know our travel is wrong but I dont know why???

(could you please elaborate your explanations and give me some simple examples and answers.Thanks in advance.I am
learning English now.).
 
'Travel', uncountable, means 'travelling in general'.
'Journey', countable' is one specific act of travelling.
We have similar differences between work and job, poetry and poem, accommodation and apartment/flat/house/etc, news and piece of news/news item

Capitalise proper nouns and the first word of every sentence.
