Temporal Tourist Tips for Responsible Time Travelers

Welcome to the Temporal Tourist Information Bureau. We're glad you're excited about exploring the timestream, but please be careful out there. Here are some tips to keep you from getting stuck in a paradox loop or worse.

Don't Touch the Timeline

It's tempting, we know. But resist the urge to alter the course of history. You might think you're correcting a mistake or preventing a disaster, but trust us, you'll only end up making things worse.

Stick to observing. Take notes. Take pictures. But don't. Just don't.

Respect Local Customs

You're a guest in every time and place you visit. Dress accordingly. Don't wear your 80s neon on a 19th century farm visit. Remove your hoverboard on a medieval jousting tournament.

Learn a few basic phrases in the local language. It's the least you can do to be a decent time traveler.

Don't Eat the Local Cuisine

We're not saying it's not delicious, but have you considered the consequences of introducing a 21st century foodie to 14th century bread? Just don't.

Leave Nothing Behind

You're not just a tourist, you're a temporal anthropologist. Leave nothing behind but your temporal signature. No souvenirs, no selfies, no regrets.

Except for the occasional dropped penny. That's just good karma.

Be Prepared

Bring snacks. Bring a map. Bring a spare set of clothes. You never know when you'll need to make a quick escape or attend a royal banquet.

Learn to Love the Now

You're not just visiting the past or future. You're experiencing the now. The now is where it's at. Don't get too caught up in the past or future. Live in the now.

Or just pretend to. We won't judge.
