living like this in the 18th century sounds kind of interesting, in a romantic sense at least.... if given the choice I'd like to try even further back, millennia instead of centuries maybe...
but to be honest... I'd probably miss all our modern comforts rather quickly
If a time machine would exist... I would also go back more than just a few centuries. I am really curious to see history from another angle, not just what we know today. But for sure, I would also like to come back, to the present time :)
