A Correct answer
Explanation

The phrase 'I have to travel' is incorrect for describing a past event. It should be 'I had to travel' (past tense) or 'I traveled' to be consistent with the past time reference 'Last winter'. Present tense 'have to' cannot describe something that was necessary in the past.
