I believe the answer is:

gallivant

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

'wander about' is the definition.
'gallivant' can be an answer for 'wander' (gallivanting is a kind of wandering). I am not certain of the 'about' bit.

'impudence tsar has time' is the wordplay.
'impudence' becomes 'gall' (synonyms).
'tsar' becomes 'ivan' (name of several Russian tsars).
'has' says to put letters next to each other.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'gall'+'ivan'+'t'='GALLIVANT'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gallivant that I've seen before include "Gad about, seeking pleasure" , "Go in search of fun" , "tour for pleasure" , "play around" , "run around" .)
