AA might be travelling around country (3,6)

I believe the answer is:

the gambia

'country' is the definition.
(I know that The Gambia is a African country)

'aa might be travelling' is the wordplay.
'travelling' indicates anagramming the letters.
'aa'+'might'+'be'='aamightbe'
'aamightbe' anagrammed gives 'THE GAMBIA'.

'around' acts as a link.

(Another definition for the gambia that I've seen is " Country".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
