Do you say I like travel or I like to travel? Hello everyone! This simple grammar is confused me for a while. Do you say "I like travel" or "I like to travel"? Or both of them is correct? Which one sounds more natural? Thank you. ;)

They are both correct, however they are subtly different . 'I like to travel' is using 'travel' as a verb, the speaker enjoys the activity of travelling. 'I like travel' uses 'travel' as a noun, the speaker enjoys travel as a concept

Bramwell is right. If you're using 'travel' as a verb, you have the choice of saying either "I like to travel" or "I like traveling" (US spelling) / "I like travelling" (GB spelling). "I like travel" would be correct if you're using 'travel' as a noun. The noun 'travel' refers to travel as a general concept. It's an abstract noun here, so there is no article. Here are some similar sentences to help you understand the difference: I like + to + verb: I like to travel. I like to play tennis. I like to read books. I like + verb (gerund): I like travelling. I like playing tennis. I like reading books. I like + noun I like travel. I like tennis. I like books. I hope that helps.

"I like to travel" or "I like travelling" are both natural. I have heard "I like travel", but it's not common so best to avoid using it.

"I like to travel" is correct and sounds natural. You can also say "I like traveling." However, "I like travel" is incorrect unless you're referring to travel in general as a concept (e.g., "I like travel as an industry"). In everyday conversation, "I like to travel" is best.
