Oh God, there's literally nothing in any previous century
that would make the typhoid, tuberculosis, smallpox as well as any of the currently easily treatable conditions worth it. A bit of dermatitis is easily treated with a dab of steroid cream unless, that is, you live in any century prior to the 20th where you have to deal with disfigured skin instead.

No, I'm happy where I am, thanks.

In other news, I'm getting my engine rebored to a 2.1 litre. Though you might theoretically try to do that in the 19th century, I'm not sure you'd enough performance out of your Benz Patent-Motorwagen to make it worthwhile. Particularly since that was a 0.6 litre to start with.

And of course
prior to the 20th century you would have had to learn a number of different dialects as modern French didn't exist as such. You would also have been able to wear stilts to farm sheep

I think I would have been an Occitanian.
Sun and wine are my kind of deal.
