    I'm African-American and when I daydream about time-traveling my first destination would be Ancient Rome because it was so multicultural I figured I wouldn't stand out TOO much. Good tip taking spices for money; never thought of that! I'd also take a handle of vodka for drinking and disinfecting. And a QP of Sativa. I'd travel to around 200AD to see the colesseum in all it's glory. A rich patron to get me a good seat at the games would be great too.

      Also being black, standing out is what I like. Imagine being the first black person encountered by a culture.

I know this is optimistic, but I think it would be neat.

      Why not go to somewhere in Africa? I'm African so if I had a time machine I'd visit my ancestors firstly. Then I'd travel way back before the Bantu expansions and learn proto-bantu, that would be cool. If I had time then I'd visit Judea during the time of Jesus and (with camera in hand) debunk all of that mythological nonsense that has, unfortunately, infected my culture.
      Ancient Egypt during the time of the pyramid builders would be cool too. Finally put to rest all the theories of how they built the pyramids.
      Also, as an aside, multiculturalism is not the same as multi-racialism. A multicultural society doesn't have to be multi-racial and most of them haven't been. Rome, from what I understand, was multicultural but not multiracial so you'd stand out for sure.

    The part about choosing the right periods to avoid makes me wonder if the period we're currently in would not be recommended for time travelers 😅 It's interesting to note how even when there's a chaotic time there's still people living relatively normal lives

      Idk what country you’re from, but I’m from the United States. It’s interesting to think about people in a few thousand years talking about this country in the same regards that ToldinStone talks about Rome!

      It'd depend entirely on where you go. If you plan to travel to 2010's United States, you could probably get by anywhere as long as you know what clothes you're supposed to be wearing and can speak English.

      @@raphaelwaggoner3200 an episode of Futurama has the crew traveling back to 1947 Roswell NM. The professor's zoot suit is 10 years out of date and for the wrong social class (he's an old white guy), and Leela's poodle skirt and cat's eye glasses are 10 years too early.
      The show's writers were (are, since none are dead yet) so smart that they certainly did this on purpose.

      I mean even with everything going on almost anywhere in the world today is still safer than most of the world was historically, mostly because the big killers like disease have largely been addressed. However just like the Romans percieved their own time as being a relatively safe and peaceful one but we today see it as dangerous people in the future might scoff at the dangers we today take for granted. One thing I bet will sound insane in the future is the high number of traffic deaths and future time travelers might prefer to stick to relatively pedestrianized areas.
      Of course another big question is what exactly would time travelers find interesting and impressive about this period, would they see the internet similarly to how we see the Roman road system? Would they find skyscrapers or the LHC more interesting?

    I would pick the Tourist persona, for sure. My ignorance as a tourist was exploited and I got pick-pocketed once in modern-day Rome, so there would be a certain poetic symmetry if I traveled back to Ancient Rome and had my ignorance exploited in the same place again, but 2000 years earlier.
