I went to Europe on a trip.

Hello.

I have a minor question.

"I went to Europe on a trip."

Is it a wrong sentence?

Why?

Thank you for your response!

Hi, Mika,

In the right context, the sentence can be correct, for example:

A. What did you do last winter?
B. I went to Europe on a trip/on a trip to Europe.

Without the question, one would expect a past adverbial to justify the use or complete the sense of the past simple tense: I went on a trip to Europe last winter.
