Travel into troubled cities, thinking little of others (8)

I believe the answer is:

egoistic

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

'thinking little of others' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'travel into troubled cities' is the wordplay.
'travel' becomes 'go' (synonyms).
'into' is an insertion indicator.
'troubled' is an anagram indicator.
'cities' with letters rearranged gives 'eistic'.
'go' placed inside 'eistic' is 'EGOISTIC'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for egoistic that I've seen before include "Descriptive of a self-centred person" , "Believing self-interest is the basis of morality" , "Self-absorbed" , "Self-important" , "Displaying self-regard" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
