I would definitely want to go forward.
The past seems like backward step. 
It would be great if there was access to a “Time Travel Book” centred on the current day, which operated by turning to a page in the book and the current world around us would disintegrate to be replaced by the “new world” portrayed on the page

The very same reason I would only go forward. Sanitation in centuries past was crappy.

I wouldn’t go too far foward … say more than 100 years … there’d be nothing there. Just a void,

I would go in 10 year increments. Stay a year, then move forward another decade.
Slowly slowly.

I’d love to be a time traveller - pretty sure humanity will unlock those secrets at some point… unless we annihilate ourselves

Well I reckon the best decades have to have been the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s … the 90’s were starting to tip the balance abit and since the turn of the millenium it’s been steadily downhill.

I would like to back just far enough to beat the shit out of a sadistic headmaster at one of the schools I went to. Things he got up to with unneccessary punishments would put him straight into jail today.
Not going into details except his favourite weapon was a long cane, No boy was safe and the teachers were scare stiff of him and said nothing in case they lost their jobs

I don’t know the world is a better place for stopping corporal punishment at schools.
But it sounds like you had a particularly hard time of it. Let’s open an enquiry.

this was way back around the 1955 era. The PT teacher was ex army PT instructor . In the school gym one was forced to climb ropes At least 20 ft high when only about 10 years old in gym gear . Also had to put on boxing gloves and fight another boy wether one wanted to or not. No wonder i hated school and even having change schools I could not wait to leave, So at 16 years old school days were over thank goodness

As long as you don’t get stuck like Marvin
. “The first ten million years were the worst, and the second ten million years, they were the worst too. The third ten million years I didn’t enjoy at all. After that I went into a bit of a decline.”
RS, it could have been worse, your Dad could have named you Sue, without telling you why, wouldn’t have mattered what school you went to then
