Beginning after he fled his home world of Gallifrey, his travels through time and space were mostly random owing to faulty components in his TARDIS. Initially, he travelled only with his granddaughter Susan Foreman. They settled for a time on Earth in 1963, where Susan was a student at Coal Hill School. He was forced to abruptly depart from Earth with Susan's teachers, Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright, kidnapping them from their own time after they went to investigate their unusual pupil. After much travel with Ian and Barbara, he bade Susan farewell to allow her to live a happier life with a man with whom she had fallen in love.
After running away from Gallifrey for unspecified reasons (with a little help from Clara Oswald) the first Doctor ended up stuck in 1960's Earth with his grandaughter, Susan-Actually-A-Man/Arkytior/Lady Larn/The Rani. Reminder that one day, I shall come back.
