This is a correction to my previous message.  complexplot should have had 
{Re[g], Im[g]} in there instead of {Re[f], Im[f]}.  Also, the parameter 
interval [0, 40 Pi] works better than the interval I suggested previously.

Define a function complexplot as follows.

complexplot[g_, a_:0, b_:1, xmin_:-10, xmax_:10, ymin_:-10, ymax_:-10]:=
	ParametricPlot[{Re[g], Im[g]}, {t, a, b}, AspectRatio->Automatic,
	PlotRange->{{xmin, xmax}, {ymin, ymax}}]

g is the function to be plotted
[a, b] is the parameter interval, with default [0, 1]
xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax define a viewing window, with the given defaults

So to view the plot of your function f[t_], pick a suitable parameter 
interval and viewing window.  Try

complexplot[f[t], 0, 40 Pi, -50, 50, -50, 50]
