I believe the answer is:

sail

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

'travel by sea' is the definition.
'sail' can be an answer for 'travel' (sailing is a kind of travelling). I'm not sure about the 'by sea' bit.

'lisa managed' is the wordplay.
'managed' indicates an anagram.
'lisa' with letters rearranged gives 'SAIL'.

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
