SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES:
Serfs were unfree peasants, and peasants are free and unfree. They are alike because they were both grouped together. They both lived on a lord's land. They both paid taxes. Serfs were owned by a lord, and a "free" peasant rented a lord's land, paying in crops.
EXTRA (just a little more info):
A free peasant usually owned very little. The wealthier peasants owned a few pots and a bedstand. They rented part of a lord's land and usually shared it w/ other families. The homes were cottages w/ one or two rooms in them.
Serfs were "owned" by a lord and paid heavy taxes, even though the lord owned them. They tended fields and gave the crops they harvested to the lord. They had a small patch of field for their own crops.

What else can I help you with?
Are the serfs villeins and peasants the same class in the feudelism class structure?
'Peasant' is a loose term. villeins and serfs are types of peasants, and villeins are types of serfs. A peasant is simply an agricultural worker. A serf, on the other hand, is a virtual slave, being confined to a plot of land in return for protection and the right to work. Serfs are effectively the property of their lords. Villeins are renters tied to land, but are not slaves, and can leave with their lord's consent.
Have serfs ever traveled?
Serfs in Europe were not allowed to leave the manor which they were tied to unless given permission by their lord. If they were caught leaving they were severely punished. Does this mean none of them traveled at all? Of course not and I'm sure there are instances of escape to freedom. As a whole however, serfs did not really travel. Have they "ever traveled" yeah, of course. If I could think of an instance of mass travelling serfs, at least widely, I'd think of indentured servants. While these were not serfs, they came to America and essentially became serfs who payed their passage to the Americas by working for seven years. They were pretty much slaves, just like serfs.
