I don't know what age, but
The only problem is, I'll have no idea how the hell I was just able to time travel.
Anyone joining me?

I was there and going again tomorrow and not to worry, you will be there.
But don't drink from the water fountain
I would love to be a person* in my late 20s - early 30s in 1920-1930 traveling amongst Western European cities.
Art Deco, The Jazz Age, surrealism and cubism in art, the birth of radio, electricity and cars, Albert Einstein and Nicolai Tesla expanding the scientific consciousness of the human race while Alexander Fleming discovers penicillin. Women get the vote while Egypt and spiritualism grip popular imagination. Monarchies crumble and democracies rise.
It would have been an incredible experience to live through.
* Of course, a lot of people were unfairly treated during this time too. Its easy romanticize the good and ignore the awful.
That sounds awesome. Experiencing this in your early 30s when you have a bit more wisdom would be great.
I would want to he a thousand years old in the year 2012 because people would he like "bro"
- My Dad was still alive, parents were still together, I’d only be 6 years old, so not too much expected of me then. Relatively happy time for the family.

Tenochtitlan 1519 and I guess I would like to be 28.
Late 80s New York crime rates were pretty brutal. The city and music scene were definitely more vibrant and less sanitized compared with today though, so I feel you
I have heard about this. Just had a look at the state of the subways between the 70s and 80s, they look so rough!
