You are only 13 weeks pregnant. Cervix is closed, tubular and 3.1 cm long. Placenta is only reaching upto the cervix. It doesn't point towards placenta previa . As time passes you will see that placenta shifts.
As far as your travelling is concerned it should be avoided because you have to travel by road for some distance. We have to go by "zero risk" approach. So traveling should be avoided.
