Had I gone travelling to the right area? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

region

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

'the right area?' is the definition.
'region' can be an answer for 'area?' ('region' can be a synonym of 'area'). I'm unsure of the 'the right' bit.

'had i gone travelling' is the wordplay.
'had' becomes 'r' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'travelling' indicates anagramming the letters.
'i'+'gone'='igone'
'igone' is an anagram of 'egion'.
'r'+'egion'='REGION'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for region that I've seen before include "Area, location" , "Part of a country" , "Wide area" , "Area, domain" , "Area, zone" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
