Just wondering how ambiguous this is.
I want to communicate that I’m traveling and its not a good time to chat.
If i am like “bin unterwegs, melde mich später “ might the person think i’m on my way to them?
“bin unterwegs” sounds like you’re not at home/office in daily life.
I wouldn’t interpret it as “on my way to you” unless that’s the actual context.
I would not really use it for travelling though, at least not with some qualifier, like “in Island unterwegs”
