I believe the answer is:

astronaut

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

'distant traveller' is the definition.
'astronaut' can be an answer for 'traveller' (astronaut is a kind of traveller). I'm not certain of the 'distant' bit.

'see satan tour around' is the wordplay.
'around' indicates anagramming the letters.
'satan'+'tour'='satantour'
'satantour' anagrammed gives 'ASTRONAUT'.

'like a' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for astronaut that I've seen before include "high flier" , "Santa tour for space traveller" , "Person trained to travel in a spacecraft" , "Space explorer" , "Buzz Aldrin, for example" .)
