Question taken from LitLovers' reading guide

Time travel - without it, you couldn't have Outlander. Everything that happens is directly related to the fact that Claire gets thrown 200 years into the past.

How disorienting—or appealing—would it be for you to be transported back in time? How would you cope with the time change? What era would be most appealing to you to travel back to?

I feel like the disorienting/appealing nature of being transported in time would come down to whether or not I was prepared. Thinking of Claire, if she had known what was going to happen and brushed up on 18th century ways, it might not have been quite so bad. Ending up there suddenly (and in the middle of a fight no less) would make anyone disoriented.

I'm not sure when I'd want to travel back to. I would love to have seen Greece during its height or go back far enough to get to see all the Ancient Wonders of the world before they were lost.
