Thank you, now I need to figure who I will pitch this crazy idea to.

TTM.

Hey Tall Man,

I too have had crazy ideas. Something like "friends with benefits" . Those poor people need friends with $$ to help them escape. Sad but true. We are blessed with the opportunity to meet them and shall I say maybe cursed if we do it only for self gratification in these circumstances. If I could I would send $50 to 20 girls and say leave ASAP! Sure meet up in Maracaibo or Bogota as friends. And who knows what could happen. Go for it Tall Man. Meanwhile I hope my tourist Visa gets approved here in the USA. Beautiful country, beautiful women, terrible economy. And who takes Bitcoins over there now?

Am I reading DolarToday correctly, and the exchange rate is 60,000 : 1 now?

Its almost going up every other day, its now 82,000 bolivars to $1 usd. Yikes.

Sry the rate for Cumberland is actually 200,000 bolivars, but that is still only $3 per night. Eurobuilding is 700,000 bolivars or $10 usd per night or 639,670 on their website, but I got this by selecting 'country of residence Venezuela' so I dunno if they give the same rate for foreigners. If I put in Canadian they want $80 usd per night.

They always rake the gringos. Thats why I learned to read and write in spanish. I've noticed this years back. When I would book a flight in english, they charge an avg $50 more so I always booked in spanish. Plus I use the spanish sites to do my bookings and not the english ones like Kayak or Bookings.

Travelling with a girl across the border for P4 P may look like a classic example of what you should not do, at least in the eyes of LE, and it may happen, just think about it.

That was my thought upon reading Tall Man's post. Seems like you'd be a good target for LE.

According to google, a Colombia tourist visa is not required for citizens of Venezuela for up to 90 days or any South American country. They do not need a passport either, a simple identity card will suffice.

Which dating sites did you use? Curious? Many of them have bots replying to you!

You could run a facebook fan page campaign and search for real girls (via the FB profiles) offering them a job in Colombia.

Details of the job to be discussed. (write so in the ad).

On another note, most Venezuelan girls will be happy if you could help them relocate but not necessarily stick with you once they have access to other men who are richer and better looking than you. Think about it.

I had a crazy thought, first know that I frequent Colombia months at a time a few few times each year and I will be in Medellin and traveling around Colombia the next month and a half so, here is the crazy thought, why not bring a Venezuelan girl into Colombia.

What does a Venezuelan need to visit and enter Colombia? A visa? Passport? Cost? Which border to cross by auto / foot? How long can they reside in Colombia (ie 90 days? Other information.

I told you I had a crazy thought.

BTW, I have been in touch with a half dozen pretty mid twenty year old's from the dating sites who responded with some interest to my crazy thought. If things are that cheap why not import for a week or more?

Your comments are welcomed.

That is what the advertisements on sexycaracas say. On another site one girl was advertising a price of 100,000 bolivares, which is $1.5 usd, with an additional 15 cents requested for cab fare.

On a local job board I saw a position (non sex worker) advertised with a weekly salary of 70,000 bolivares ($1 usd), so presumably even at this $2-$5 hourly rate escorts are making pretty good money. The economy has been so devastated by hyper inflation, price controls and the totality of the socialist program that people are desperate for any income.

And what facts do you have to presume that $2-$5 is good money? What is the cost of living per day? Does $2 buy you a steak dinner? Or does $2 get you meat scraps? The point is no one here knows. Yiu would have to be the one trying to survive to really know.

These comparisons to poverty wages and living are useless in this and other forums.

Two week ago, I stayed at Marriott Grande Playa, price by night was 630.000 bvs (180 dollars at official rate, 22 dollars at black market rate at that time) for a deluxe room. But price in bvs must go up now following inflation.

It's a very valid statement. Lock in the rate before it goes up to match the inflation and it will.

Secondly, I got the rate of 17 usd / night in Eurobuilding, Caracas. I needed help of local friends and lot of trust and coordination between us to do it. Normally, big hotels such as these do not allow foreigners to pay the local rate using some decree issued by the govt that unless foreigners have a work visa for Ven, they can not pay for hotels in local rate or local currency.

Further, if you see a rate of 65,000 BS to a 1 USD. Forget you will get this exchange rate. For a bank transfer. Its 15-20% less. For cash its -25-35% less. Do your maths. There is shortage of hard cash and only people who have cash in BS are people who do local business in large volumes on a daily basis. To get good rates. Make friends with such people.

Consumer prices have gone up 741% in the last Feb.-Feb. Cycle. Venezuela is experiencing hyper inflation because the government is printing a ton of money. This is very bad for the economy because it destroys everyone's savings although at least people have alternative currencies they can turn to, like USD and bitcoin. Lots of girls on sexycaracas charging the equivalent of $2 so even if this is the so called "gringo price" I don't see why we should care. Two dollars for sex with an attractive Venezuelan girl seems like a fair deal to me.

Tell me more damn $2. USD?

I will spend this next month of December in Colombia and maybe need to figure out how to drop into Caracas for a few days to try the local dish, LOL.

I am still having a hard time understanding the inflation in Venezuela.

The prices charged by the girls online have increased by over 250% since January this year.

Are the prices quoted gringo prices, because I cannot imagine any local can tolerate a 250% mark up in price within a year.
