Hi

Can we use the word travel for a person who is moving from his office to a restaurant for lunch--but we don't know the means of his travel.

(on the phone)

If you are traveling, should I call you later? or

Please call me later I am traveling right now.

Do you find it natural?

Thanks,

Tom

Thanks d-say for the sentences, but I  still want some light on the sentences I posted--which other verb can we possibly use in a situation like this?

Should I  call you later? I think you are traveling.

If you are called and you can't talk or don't want to talk, you can say one of these:

I'm on the road ((right) now). ***

I'm in the car ((right) now).

I'm driving ((right) now).

I can't talk ((right) now).

followed by one of these:

Can I call you back later?

I'll call you back later, OK?

Is it OK if I call you back later?

Is is all right if I call you back later?

I'll have to call you back later.

I'll call you back later.

(Note, above, that you would offer to call them.  If you depend on them to call you again later, they may find that you are still driving, and you would be bothered once again by another call.)

*** A structure like ((right) now) means you can say now, right now, or nothing at all. Items in parentheses are optional.
