# What is Time Travel and how does it work?

Time Travel delivers your email at a specific local time, regardless of where your subscriber is located geographically. If you want your email to be delivered precisely at 9am to each subscriber, you can achieve it with Time Travel, no matter if they’re in New York, Los Angeles or Shanghai.

**Example:** Your account time zone is set to United States – (GMT-5:00) America/New York. You schedule your message to be sent at 9am your local time. With Time Travel enabled, John, who is located in London, will get the message at 9am too, although the difference between your time zone and John’s is 5 hours.

When Time Travel is enabled, sending begins when the earliest applicable time zone reaches the specified timestamp, effectively opening the sending window for all potential recipients. It does not start at the moment the first subscriber is scheduled to receive the message.
