Posts: 1Bad idea to travel during Christmas?
Is there a big drop off during the holidays? I have read that lots of the girls like to visit family.
If anyone has been or have knowledge on the topic I would be very grateful to hear your feedback.

As you can tell from my number of posts I'm pretty new down here in South America. To the one monger that's even newer than me don't worry too much. Sure it can get confusing at times and nothing will be perfect but if you've been mongering in the US you'll understand that you've landed in a gold mine, and I haven't even been in Medellin yet. Use the hotel safe for your documents, don't wear any jewelry, don't carry huge wads of cash that bulge out from your pockets. Spending money on a learning experience will be far cheaper than in the US and still better than many of your best times on the far side of your hometown hoping you don't get busted by a sting.
On the other hand my boss has finally realized that it would be better to have a hotel in downtown Medellin rather than Rionegro. That's great for spreading some pitch around a new city for me. (Get it? Pinetree. Pitch?) I hope our new hotel in Poblado doesn't mind the odd chica stopping in for an hour or so. I love Bogota and hope Medellin competes well.

Posts: 127Just to be clear, to those saying I'm a "scaredy cat" and that Medellin is not for me (albeit you are well-intentioned), my major issue is finding information and planning. I know Medellin is nothing like other mongering places I've been to which is why I'm trying to understand as much as possible, but the information out there is largely either outdated, contradictory or non-existent.
I've decided not to cancel my trip, but I'm now accepting that I'll pretty much have to turn up and find places to visit when I'm there (which takes me out of my comfort. And enjoyment. Zone because I plan everything to the nth degree (including mongering which so far has worked out great in every other country I've visited). Recommendations for places like La Isla, New Life, etc have been noted and researched. I really appreciate those recommendations.
And I have some good FB potentials now, thanks to lots of helpful DMs.
Who knows. MDE may just turn out to be awesome exactly because it takes me out of my comfort zone and is completely contrary to how I plan mongering trips! Haha.
Thanks all for the advice and responses. I've accepted the situation for what it is and will largely just roll with the punches (hopefully not literally) when I arrive.
Trip report to follow.

But if you do feel the need, simply tell that "quiero conocerte". They understand well enough what that means, especially if you tell them you are in town only for a few days. .

I think I was way over my head trying to cover all the bases from the start. Feel better now. Also got some additional responses via FB but I will leave that for the next trip.
ID rather check out Medellin first and the fact that things are scattered. Thanks for your feedback though. Osteos reports are great and no FB.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I don't think Medellin will be suited for you. And this doesn't mean there is anything wrong with you, but it's very different than mongering in Asia.
And as far as being a gringo, well there's no getting around that, so I don't see how it even factors in to your thinking. You have no control over that, and yes, people may take advantage of you, and most of the time you may not even know it, but this goes with the territory, so you just need to accept it.
Good luck where ever you land up.

It is a working class city, just don't go out past 8-9 pm unless you cab it to clubs and youll be fine.
Again, don't over complicate things, like MR E says, it really is simple. You see a hot puta, pay her, fuck, leave.
Good luck.

Posts: 14Approaching in public
Hello guys,
I am going to MDE in few weeks and wondering how do you guys approach working girls in public spots like Plaza Botero with no Spanish speaking skills? Do the girls talk in English or do I need to use a phone translator app?
