Sets off for travels (5)
I believe the answer is:
trips
I believe this is a double definition.
'sets off' is the first definition.
('trip' can be a synonym of 'set off')
'travels' is the second definition.
(trip is a kind of travel)
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for trips that I've seen before include "Outings" , "Journeys or excursions" , "Stumbles or triggers" , "good experiences" , "Stumbles on short journeys?" .)
