뜻
To have much work lately.
문화적 배경
The 'Christmas rush' (julestria) is the most famous 'travel periode' in Norway, involving cleaning, baking 7 types of cookies, and buying gifts. Norwegians value 'flat structure'. Even a CEO might say they are in a 'travel periode' to a junior employee to explain a delay, showing egalitarianism. The period before 'eksamen' (exams) in May/June is a collective 'travel periode' for the whole country's youth. During 'slåttonn' (haymaking season), farmers enter an intense 'travel periode' where they work as long as the sun is up.
Add 'litt' to sound more Norwegian
Norwegians love to downplay things. Saying 'Jeg er i en *litt* travel periode' sounds more natural and less like you are complaining.
Don't forget the 'i'
Leaving out the preposition 'i' makes the sentence ungrammatical. It's always 'i en periode'.
