For me I would be a young adult during the late 80s early 90s in New York. Something about the city and music.

Travelling is awesome, to travel to a place and time and live out some years would be even better.

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 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.
