They have the same meaning though journey sounds more exotic.

Other than the mis-spelling of "journey", there is a saying that "A journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step", and it is so true. A journey can consist of many smaller "trips".
Let's say that you live in Los Angeles and you want to end up to Portland, Maine. Your journey would be defined as the origin and destination, in this case, Los Angeles to Portland, Maine.
The trips can be constructed along the way. For example, your first trip can be from Los Angeles to the Grand Canyon. The second trip could be from there to Denver and the Rocky Mountains. The third trip could be from Denver to St. Louis., etc...
The journey is still ongoing, but each trip was concluded and a new trip started the next day.
On my truck, I have a trip meter and a leg meter. Each "leg" of the trip would be the equalivalent of a "trip" on your "journey". I usually zero out the trip meter when I fill up the gas tank, and the leg meter when I stop to eat or make my destination, but I leave the trip meter intact.
Get it?.. Let me know...
Here's the definitions:
journey (n), jur-nee
1. a traveling from one place to another, usually taking a rather long time; trip: a six-day journey across the desert.
2. a distance, course, or area traveled or suitable for traveling: a desert journey.
3. a period of travel: a week's journey.
Usage:
Journey indicates a trip of considerable length, wholly or mainly by land, for business or pleasure or other reasons, and is now applied to travel that is more leisurely or more fatiguing than a trip; *>*>*>a return is not necessarily indicated<*<*<*
Trip (n) trip:
1. to make a journey or excursion
2. a single journey or course of travel taken as part of one's duty, work, etc
Usage:
Trip is the general word, indicating going *>*>*>any distance and returning*<*<*<, by walking or any means of locomotion, for either business or pleasure, and in either a hurried or a leisurely manner

The word journey usually means a "very long" trip, as in walking for 3 months. Trip, on the other hand, could be travel of any duration, down the street and back, or around the world.

In general, a journey is a long trip. Columbus found America on his journey from Europe, or the astronauts went on a journey to the moon. A trip is much shorter, like a trip to the store or to grandma's house.

A trip is usually something you plan while a journey is unplanned and usually an adventure of some sort. The word 'journey' means 'adventure' in Hebrew.

In my opinion a trip is short with a focus.
A journey is much longer and drawn out... More enjoyable.

a trip is a journey and a journey is a trip, does that answer your question?

Trip is spelled right and journey isn't? :)
