in this case perception is reallity. if you where to move at close to the speed of light you would not age as fast as everyone else time would seem to pass normaly for you but when you got back to normal speed an hour to your could be day or week or years so on.

That's not time traveling. It's not jumping from point A in time to point B in time. At speed of light, the time wouldn't have the same affect to you and you wouldn't perceive it the same way as other people, but... You're still following the time constinuum.
Just like while I'm writing this, I'm traveling in time from 4:35pm to 4:37pm, passing by all those seconds in between. If I do it faster or if my cells age at another rate... That's not time traveling.
Plus, that's only toward the future. No matter the speed, you couldn't travel back in time. Continuously or jumping.

I didn't mind there can't be two YOU. I just meant that you can't travel back to YOUR time again, where only YOU exist. If you go to another time where there's another YOU, then you didn't really went back, did you? And you couldn't just return to your former life, as you would find anotehr YOU doing your job and wife, for example.
Once you make a jump in time, you renounce your former life. That means no time traveling tourism. :P
