Everything does travel at the speed of light. It's the only speed that exists. When you aren't moving relative to the space around you, you are traveling at the speed of light along the time axis. As your speed increases through space, your speed along the time axis decreases to compensate, ensuring that your total speed in space-time is the speed of light.
