Hi, first of all, sorry for this, I know there are already a lot about this. And I already looked them up to find out but I still not so clear, what to use in the following sentence.
I am going to travel from one country to another and I m going to spend about 2 months in another country.
So, I talk to my friend and what to say that I ll not be here next month and I will be travelling.
How should I say that properly ?
Here is what I think of, " I will be on travelling/trip/journey " any idea?
Please some one tell me.
Thanks so much.

I will be travelling - This suggests you will be moving a lot, eg from this place to this place to this place.

I will be on a trip. - Sounds good. A pretty simple way to say it.

I will be on a journey. This is less commonly said. It focuses less on the destination and more on the process of getting to the place.

You could also say other things, eg 'I will be in Brazil next month'.

Best wishes, Clive
