I wander back to see a New Zealander (5)
I believe the answer is:
maori
'a new zealander' is the definition.
(the Maori are indigenous people of New Zealand)
'i wander back' is the wordplay.
'wander' becomes 'roam' (synonyms).
'back' says the letters should be written backwards.
'i'+'roam'='iroam'
'iroam' reversed gives 'MAORI'.
'to see' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for maori that I've seen before include "native person" , "Member of aboriginal people of New Zealand" , "race" , "aboriginal inhabitant" , "Native language of NZ" .)
