I found a lot of bonus damage feats or bonus (class-resource) feats. But are there any like Travel Devotion, or other general utility feats?

What sort of utility?

There's at least two ways to add new tricks to skills via feats:
Signature Skill/Skill Unlocks can add new things to a skill, or at least make some skills vastly more effective.
Occult Skill Unlocks (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/occult-adventures/occult-rules/occult-skill-unlocks/) add entirely new things to skills, all gained via a single feat, ranging from Augury/Divination once per week over locating gems to reading other peoples auras.

There's a bunch of other stuff too, of course.

You can get one of your hands posessed (https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/possessed-hand&sa=U&ved=0ahUKEwiY2bGxnavSAhUGGZoKHWORBzQQFggEMAA&client=internal-uds-cse&usg=AFQjCNHBsT2h9BLdcuHBa5mY8gS_dBd-Kw), which can grant you darkvision&flanking immunity (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/hand-s-sight/), act on it's own while you're unconcious (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/hand-s-autonomy/), and eventually even detach and act as a familiar (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/hand-s-detachment/).

The really big one is Deific Obedience (http://archivesofnethys.com/FeatDisplay.aspx?ItemName=Deific%20Obedience), which grants a spell-like ability and two more abilities depending on your deity.

Then there's stuff like Animal Ally (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/animal-ally/), Conceal Spell (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/conceal-spell), Detect Expertise (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/detect-expertise/), Familiar Bond (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/familiar-bond), Hellcat Stealth (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/hellcat-stealth/) and many many more.
