The verb "travel" here doesn't describe the act of working itself, but it describes the act of going to work or going to a job. While this is a common way to describe the process of going to work, a more common word to use is "commute". "Commute" means to travel back and forth to a destination regularly, and can be used both as a verb and as a noun. Ex: Most people in the United States commute to work by car. Ex: How long does it take you to travel to work? Ex: The drive to my job is a long commute.
