I understood you straight away.  "I'm only not travelling" makes no sense to me.  (How is this different from "I'm not travelling"?)  I would combine the sentences and maybe add {-taH} "continuous":
  naDev jIlengtaHbe' neH 'ach Qu'wIjvaD jIvumtaH je.
There are no known examples of {neH} following verb with {-be'}, but we do have one following {-Qo'}:
  yIQeqQo' neH.  DoS yIqIp 
  Don't just aim; hit the target! TKW 
Most examples of {neH} follow nouns, but the three other examples of {neH} following a verb are:
  qo'mey Sar charghtaHvIS chaH Dat tlhIngan may'Duj luleghDI'
   neH qIb nganpu' buQpu' may'Duj 'ej ghIjpu' 'oH.  nIteb
   ghIjpu' je Deghvam 
  this symbol grew to become as feared throughout the galaxy
   as the menacing profiles of their battlecruisers. SP1 
  roD 'oHvaD juHqo' ponglu' neH. 
  [Qo'noS] is usually referred to as simply "The Homeworld." S27 
  bIghHa'Daq.  Such neH.
  In jail. Just visiting. (Monopoly)
