What journey have you been on?
I don't have a problem with the word journey itself. It's just that suddenly everyone is going on a journey and they are not talking about their holidays or commute to work. They are most likely explaining how they feel about some particular period of their lives or time learning some new skill. Apparently all the YouTubers and Instagrammers are talking about their journeys. I certainly hear people, celebrities and non-celebrities alike, gushing about journeys on the telly. It is so annoying.
“I’m on a real fitness journey at the moment.”
“It’s been such an emotional journey.”
“Thanks for following my skincare journey.”
“Parenthood is a journey, not a destination.”
“I’ve started my sourdough journey.”
“My healing journey has just begun.”
“Every brand has a story and a journey.”
“It’s been a long journey to get here.”

#PV HEAD OFF - to start a journey or leave a place (marcharse)
— English in Madrid (@madteacher72) October 3, 2021
e.g. I'll have to be HEADING OFF soon. I don't like driving in the dark.
e.g. What time should we HEAD OFF home?
e.g. At the end of the film, they HEAD OFF into the sunset. https://t.co/kHX1YNrdEO

I don't mind long TRAIN JOURNEYS - it's a chance for me to relax and read a good book.
journey is the time you spend in the train, car etc. going somewhere
trip is more the time you spend in the place you visit
