Объяснение:
* Much используется с неисчисляемыми существительными в единственном числе (salt, travel, free time, tea, rain).
* Many используется с исчисляемыми существительными во множественном числе (sky-scrapers, stars, days, Russian tourists).
* A few используется с исчисляемыми существительными во множественном числе, когда говорим о небольшом количестве (albums, days).
* Little используется с неисчисляемыми существительными, когда говорим о малом количестве (free time, rain). В некоторых случаях имеет оттенок "почти нет" или "недостаточно".
* "travel much" в данном случае подразумевает, что моя работа позволяет мне много путешествовать.
