I believe the answer is:

utah

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'state mormon one?' is the definition.
'utah' can be an answer for 'state' (Utah is a US state). I am not certain of the 'mormon one?' bit.

'you travel around' is the wordplay.
'you' becomes 'u' (commonly used in online communication).
'travel' becomes 'hat' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'around' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'hat' backwards is 'tah'.
'u'+'tah'='UTAH'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for utah that I've seen before include "US state N. of Arizona" , "A hut marks the State" , "American state associated with Mormons and their faith" , "State, Mormon settlement" , "US state, capital Salt Lake City" .)
