I believe the answer is:

gobi

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

'desert' is the definition.
(Gobi Desert is an example)

'travel over large endless' is the wordplay.
'travel over' becomes 'gob' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'large' becomes 'big' (synonyms).
'endless' says to take the centre.
The central letter of 'big' is 'i'.
'gob'+'i'='GOBI'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gobi that I've seen before include "Dry spot" , "very dry place" , "East Asian desert" , "Arid region in central Asia, and 38 across" , "arid area" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
