Quando é a teu próxima viagem?
‘Teu’ is masculine; the noun ‘viagem’ is feminine, so the correct form is ‘tua’.
Quando vai ser a tua próxima viagem?
Using ‘vai ser’ changes the nuance to a future prediction; the simple present ‘é’ is the natural way to ask about a scheduled event.
Quando é a tua próximo viagem?
‘Próximo’ must agree with the feminine noun; ‘próximo’ (masc.) is incorrect here.
