Quick writing type question in OD

So, I’ve got an idea for a time travel book. Even got a title, which is rare for me.

The time traveller in question is the main character. Do you think it’s important for him to be seen visiting some important historical events or would it be OK to mention that he did and leave it at that?

The plan at the moment is the later as I worry that it might take you out of the story to stop and say, for example, ‘And here’s the details of me at the crucifixion)’. But maybe I’m wrong and not doing so would annoy readers.

What do you think? Don’t worry, there’s no right or wrong answer.
