Hi and welcome to the forum. I think that Dewclaw has it right, however, you don´t need the "en" in the first sentence and use "interesaN" because "viajes" is plural.

Me interesan los viajes

I, personally, would have said this differently and used the infinitive verb rather than the noun:

Me interesa viajar.

Estoy interesada en viajar.

Marianne, I like your versions better, but I would only use the 2nd one when speaking at the moment and not so much as a general interest :- ) ¡Bien hecho como siempre! - 005faa61, Mar 20, 2011

So we are to understand that this is contrary-to-fact? Pobrecito. - 0074b507, Mar 20, 2011
I've lived on three continents and visited three others. I'm not unhappy with the extent of my travelling, but most of it was when I was young and I have little wanderlust left. - lorenzo9, Mar 20, 2011
And I certainly don't have a lot of money at this point for reasons I don't want to go into. - lorenzo9, Mar 20, 2011
