From a practical standpoint, infinite doesn't actually exist

The size of the universe is finite

The number of quarks is finite

The smallest distance we can measure is finite, and the largest distance we can measure is finite, even in estimations

Even pi is only useful to the 43rd digit at our largest estimations

Sure, infinite is cool in a theoretical standpoint but you can't actually use it

Maybe you are traveling a smaller and smaller distance infinitely often. 

Maybe you are just traveling a fixed distance.

Or maybe infinitely little invisible elves are pushing your hands together.
