Ah, yes. It can be quite a challenge, as you must ensure that you blend in with the customs and fashion of the era. Depending on the time period, this can range from difficult to nearly impossible.

Do you have any tips for blending in?

What are some common mistakes that time travelers make while trying to blend in?
