I'd go far into the future, then come back to today with technologies that's thousands of years more advanced than todays.
Then I'd start my own company.
Another potential scenario is I'd take todays technology, all our libraries of information, and take it back to the time where I could teach people to read and write.
Then I'd come back to 2017 and just see how far humanity advanced in that time (but then the possibility is I wouldn't exist as I've basically changed the fate of humanity).
The first idea sounds interesting - I wonder what we'd be able to learn if we went forward in time, and how we'd be able to use that information
The second idea sounds cool too - would be interesting to compare the two timelines and see how things differ. If these early humans suddenly got access to all that new information, I also wonder how long it would take for them to get to a point that's comparable to today. Would it be possible for thousands of years of global development be condensed into just a few years or months? Also, history would probably be a pretty interesting subject to study if you had to deal with events that occurred due to time travel

Buy a stack of Bitcoins back when they were worth almost nothing and sell them today
That'd probably be a pretty good deal - the market cap of bitcoin recently hit a record high and is still rising
This answer also made me wonder how much a time machine might be worth ;o

There is one particular event I would like to go back to and change but then what would happen if I fked the timeline? Would I just stay there and live together with my pastself? Or come back to 2017 which would be entirely different?
What would have happened with the old 2017? Would it just have been erased and replaced with the new 2017? Or would the universe split in half, like the old 2017 would split into another universe and I would be stuck with the new Universe? Everything looking so familiar but still knowing my real family is somewhere out there in another universe, thinking where I have gone to? Why did I leave them?
Slowly turning into madness, knowing my family is not my real family I used to know, going back to the event I changed and trying to stop myself. Telling my other 2017 self to not change anything and go back to his 2017. After that I too would go back to the future? But where am I this time? Is it the original 2017? Or the 2017 I created? Or a completely new, third 2017?? How would I know the difference???
Haha, you might want to have a look at the grandfather paradox and see what kind of implications that would have. In terms of what would happen, I can think of a couple of possibilities:
- The old 2017 might be frozen for you to return to exactly as you left it
- The old 2017 might have gone forward in time for the same amount of time you spent time travelling
- The old 2017 might have gone forward in time, but only a little bit
- The old 2017 might be lost forever (the exact one that you left, anyway)
There's probably a lot of other possibilities too, but those are the first that came to mind >.<
In any case, if you time travel a lot, I'm sure there'll be plenty of people wondering where you disappeared to

Anywhere I like. I'd just make myself out to be The Doctor, paint my time machine blue and away I go.
That'd be some next-level cosplay
