This question suggested conjugate Hacer but the tranlation said 'travel' I don't understand why we would use hacemos instead of viajamos in that context? We would never say 'we do (or make) 200 to get to work' in English and I can't find any suggestion online that hacer is used to describe travel but perhaps it is a quirky Spanish anomaly? Thanks for your help to understand this one :)

Hola Meilin
Yes, the use of "hacer" in this context is normal and it's idiomatic, so we use it when we express an amount of any type of distance:
Cada día hago 3 kilómetros de caminata para mantenerme en forma.
I walk (do) 3 kilometres a day to stay in good form.
Me monté en la bici e hice al menos 15 millas.
I went on the bike and did (rode for) at least 15 miles.
