I think I’d probably go to London, but I’m not sure when as it’s had an interesting history.

As a woman? As a woman born poor? No where!

Yes, I completely agree - I suppose I’m thinking of more of a history tourist than actually living it.

14th century. With Black Death vaccinations.

I wonder what the consequences would be of that - would the subsequent social changes and end of serfdom have happened?

Very curious now @foxyliz26!!!

Tudor times or 1940s. I love the history of those eras.

As long as it was just a visit a la Andy's Dinosaur Adventures, it'd go back to the court of Peter the Great and then on to the court of Catherine the Great before landing in Britain in 1936 and try to persuade the British government to enforce the policy of appeasement when Hitler re-militarised the Rhineland.

I'd go back to about 5 years before my mum developed dementia and ask her lots of things and take her anywhere and everywhere.

Brilliant question. I think it would be quite difficult for me to be a time traveller as I have a disability. I would stick out too much. I have thought about this. I would probably like to go to the Victorian times, or the 1940's.

I have always fancied being an extra in a costume drama too.
