'travelled a lot' is the definition.
'got around' can be an answer for 'travelled' (getting around is a kind of travelling). I am not certain of the 'a lot' bit.

'managed to circumvent as one' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'managed' could be 'got' (both can mean achieved or secured) and 'got' is located in the answer.
'one' could be 'un' (northern English dialect form of 'one') and 'un' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
