Distant European traveller (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fare

'traveller' is the definition.
(fare is a kind of traveller)

'distant european' is the wordplay.
'distant' becomes 'far' ('far' can be similar in meaning to 'distant').
'european' becomes 'e' (abbreviation e.g. EU).
'far'+'e'='FARE'

(Other definitions for fare that I've seen before include "Meal" , "Amount charged" , "Transport charge" , "(Person paying) price for travel" , "Food, or price of bus ticket" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
