Please have a look the below sentence and answer the [STRIKE]followed[/STRIKE] questions following.
I am not used to traveling too much.

The sentence sounds a little strange to me. I'd write either:
I am not used to travelling (BrE spelling) far
.
or:
I am not use to travelling frequently.

1. How can I use {(I'm not used to + (verb-ing)} in the past tense. Please [STRIKE]translate[/STRIKE] change the sentence as an example.
(At that time) I wasn't used to travelling far/frequently.
2. How can I use {(I'm not used to + (verb-ing)} in the future tense. Please [STRIKE]translate[/STRIKE] change the sentence as an example.
It would be a little strange to talk about being used to something in the future. You'd be more likely to talk about the possibility of getting used to it:
I haven't travelled much in my life, but my new job involves a lot of business trips. I'll get used travelling so much, I suppose.


Note that most grammarians today consider Will + bare infinitive to be one way of expressing the future, not a future tense.
