When on a long trip, occasionally you might need to stop or break a journey for a brief time to rest, eat, or take care of other errands before continuing to your final destination. But what other words can you use instead of "break a journey"? You can use pause, stop over, layover, interruption, and lay off. If you need to take a longer break, you can use the words delay, postpone, or defer. In any case, it is crucial to take a break to ensure a peaceful and stress-free journey and arrive at your destination quickly and energetically.
