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.

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'.
