Cartagena Reports

[Linyjo]

The security takes their job seriously and they paid attention to the Chicas who are registered as visitors.

I never give them a hard time, I know they just doing their job. I always protest the wristbands, I claim it is a security issue, I don't want my girl walking around outside showing where she is staying. They always either let me carry the thing in my pocket or put it on my wrist so loose that I can take it on and off when I want. After they are agreeable and make exceptions for me, a 10 K or 20 K tip is always the best way to show some love back and get them to remember you.

Thanks for sharing, I would try this app next time. It would help me tremendously by doing breakfast run etc for me.

It is very convenient. If you don't have a girl making you breakfast, this is a good alternative for sure. Especially for liquor, soda, mixers, beer, snacks and cigarettes. You start to party a bit and don't want to run to the store. Rappi has it at your door in 30 minutes. Living like a boss!

Don't expect too much from Thailand. If you have never been there, give it a try. But I always feel the experience in Bangkok and Pattaya to be underwhelming. I prefer my experience in Manila and Angeles

I have been all over Europe, Amsterdam, Brussels, London, Paris, Berlin, Stuttgart, Hamburg, Cologne, Prague, Barcelona, Rome and many others. Euro scene was fun in its time buts its so mechanical.

I have been to every country in central america and Costa Rica many many times. Cheap trips, hit or miss girls and safety issues except for Costa Rica and Panama. Those two place have reasonable security and you can find some real gems for girls, mostly imports.

Colombia I have been to Bogota once and Cartagena a dozen times. Top notch woman, great prices, reasonably safe except Bogota can get a bit sketchy.

So what's left on the hit list?

Brazil, meh, long flights and expensive digs. I'm not much for big butts anyway, I like supermodel bodies not Kardashian fat.

Dominican Republic, will hit it one day, Blackbeards just for the check mark but Sosua sounds like a cesspool and I don't want to die having a drink, so will wait on that one.

Asia is the big ticket item I want to hit before I get too old to enjoy. Both Thailand and Philippines and on the list. I agree with you from what I read the Philippines sounds the better place for what I like in girls, total GFE and spending a few days with the same girl before trading her out. I'm not a 1 or 2 hour guy with a girl. I like to have multiple sessions as after that first one or two, the sex gets much better if there is chemistry and the its just boom boom barriers come down.

My hesitation is the security aspect. It just seems Thailand is much more safe to visit.

I will keep doing research and price them out. I guess with a 2 week trip I could hit both places and get a taste to see which I enjoy more.

Cartagena: Vendors on every sidewalk, If you talk to one, 3-4 others will line up behind him, getting in line to pitch to you next. I have said "no moleste" which means do not bother me and they reply, "I'm working!" then they say "this is not your country."

Other problem is the heat, its just too hot except for December, January and Feb. Only one shopping mall to walk around in. Have gotten tired of Cartagena.

Bogota is better for temperature, if you can take the elevation and getting winded climbing a flight of steps.

Medellin is a good compromise.

I hear you but there is something special about being at the ocean and the beach. It is supposed to be a trip to paradise so the environment makes a difference. Plus flying into Cartagena is always quicker and cheaper than the others.

It's the same in Costa Rica. Would you rather be in San Jose or take the extra jaunt and go to Jaco Beach? The beach scene always feels more like a vacation and tends to be more laid back.

Nice reports, I remember reading about your adventures with this girl for a while now. How did you find this girl? I'd be interested in finding a similar arrangement, any tips for someone that speaks spanish?

As I recall your arrangement initially was a paid arrangement, how did you transition into a non-paid arrangement?

Nice reports, I remember reading about your adventures with this girl for a while now. How did you find this girl?

My trips from 2 years ago I hooked with a girl named Claudia. I saw her 2 years ago and did a repeat with her last year. We would wife up for 4 to 7 days and became friends and stayed in contact. When I booked my first trip this year in April, I contacted her and she said she would be on vacation in Argentina with her family so we would not see each other. She then offered to hook me up with a girl she went to college with. I accepted her offer and she sent me the contact info for Maria.

As I recall your arrangement initially was a paid arrangement, how did you transition into a non-paid arrangement?

I cut and paste this from my trip report from back in April.

"Sunday.

Woke up and had another round of sex. Had breakfast and I asked her if she wanted to go to the pool before she left today? She looked at me confused and said I thought you are staying until Tuesday. I said I was but when we talked, we agreed on three nights. She asked don't you want me to stay with you until you go? I want to stay with you, she said. I asked how much she expected for the extra two nights, I was already in 900 K and travel costs. She said nothing, I am having a lot of fun and we are having fun together. You are happy with me, yes? I asked again, that you are staying for free, to make sure that I don't have a problem at the end. She said yes. I said OK and told her to go get ready to go to the beach or the pool, whichever she wanted."

After I went home from that trip, she contacted me and asked when am I coming back to see her. I told her soon and asked her how much she expected to get paid for the week. She said nothing, just cover my travel costs. She said she liked me and was having a lot of fun, she got to vacation at the beach and enjoyed our chemistry and good sex. We just kept it going. I have visited her 3 times over the last 2 months for a week at a time. We say I love you and every trip feels like a honeymoon. Deep down we both know we just having fun, it just makes it better to have some feelings and it makes the sex much better too.

I'd be interested in finding a similar arrangement

It's about chemistry and the quality of the people you interact with. She was not a prostitute, she was just a friend of a college girl. I think that helps to flip the script a bit. She told me after the first trip, she felt a bit dirty or uncomfortable accepting money for sex, especially from someone she liked and enjoyed being with. She was not looking to prostitute herself, she was looking for some fun and to get away to the beach with a boyfriend without all the hassle of maintaining a relationship.

It happened with Claudia too. She was a semi pro, college girl hooking up with guys every couple of months to help pay for college. After our first visit she stopped charging me and just wanted to have fun.

For me, It has happened with a few other girls too, usually just an extra night or two, not like this where she spends a week with me. There has been many times where I paid a girl for a night and she ended up staying two or three.

It's not rocket science, they are just girls. Treat them well, be kind, be attentive, don't treat them like a object for sex and things turn quickly. You can see from the writings on the board how they get treated by a lot of guys. Be different. Don't treat them like slaves and they become a slave to your kindness. Groom yourself well, smell nice, be a gentleman, don't always be in t-shirt, shorts and sandals. Don't stay in shit hole places, get comfortable and stylish condos at the beachfront. Ask her what she wants to do, where she wants to go, what she likes to drink, what she likes to eat instead of just dragging her around like an after thought forcing her to do what you want all the time. Make her think her being happy matters to you, even if it doesn't. It's all an act, a show.

It helps if you are attentive during sex and are good in bed. Make sure she is pleased and having many orgasms instead of just taking what you want and satisfying yourself. She is a woman, treat her with respect and act like you care about her, that's all any woman wants. Treat her like you are courting her and she will treat you like a king. Treat her like a sex worker and she will treat you like a John.

any tips for someone that speaks spanish?

Language has never been an issue for me. I know enough words to get the jist of what she is saying but can't hold conversations. I use translator a lot. I wonder if a Gringo that speaks Spanish too well is a turn off or red flag for some of the girls that are not full time professionals. I dunno. I just know I never had an issue with language barrier and try to make it fun for both of us, turning it into she is teaching me Spanish, even if I already know the words. Chicks seem to dig that.

You at the right place. Read here, and you'll know everything you need. I wish you a happy and fruitful reading experience.

I read the last 10 pages and didn't find anything interesting in case of a hotel. Other information are fine. Other guys had the same question. Short time hotels around clock tower area is not what I'm looking for. Juan at Airbnb was written, but is it Chica friendly? Others are expect names while booking.

So once again, I'm looking for a low budget hotel and Chica friendly close to the action. Beaches or clock tower area. At the Bogota thread my question was answered pretty well. I guess here are also guys with helpful information.

Don't be rude to them. You need to understand they are within their rights to make a living selling stuff to tourists. If you don't want to engage them just ignore them or say "no gracias. " It's very bad form to be rude to those guys and I don't recommend doing it.

[Ggekko2009]

Same as all the others, we stayed on the beach in Bocagrande. This time we stayed in Palmetto Beach condos. Nice building, tight security. All guest must be pre-registered.

The security takes their job seriously and they paid attention to the Chicas who are registered as visitors. I had one chica registered as a visitor once but she was wasted that night and right at 4 AM, the security knocked on my door and asked about the girl. I had to have him re-register her as guest since they already have her data in the system. Had to tell him to make this change and he kept insisting about something else which I had no clue. Anyway, he finally made the change and have his colleague send up the guest band. I tipped him and everything was good. Since I never put the band on that chica, I reused it on another chica the next night since I was already out of my guest quota.

I discovered the new delivery service my visit before this one and forgot to report it. It is called Rappi. You download the app and use it to order anything you want. You can pay for things through the app or just pay cash when then deliver. The delivery is cheap, between 3 K and 5 K. ($1 or $2). You then tip the delivery guy so it's another $1 or $2. Still, a hell of a bargain for the convenience. The app keeps you updated, order received, order being filled, order on way and a map with GPS to track where the delivery guy is. After the delivery picks the order, he will send you a copy of the receipt. There is also a text and phone feature to text or speak to the delivery guy.

Thanks for sharing, I would try this app next time. It would help me tremendously by doing breakfast run etc for me.

For now, the plan is for me and wingman to plan our next adventure. We are looking at Thailand for September or next April, depending on his work schedule. We shooting for September 2019 at the moment. Bangcock and Pattaya or our targets, up to two weeks stay since it's a bit of travel to get there from east coast and central USA.

Don't expect too much from Thailand. If you have never been there, give it a try. But I always feel the experience in Bangkok and Pattaya to be underwhelming. I prefer my experience in Manila and Angeles

Cartagena is a great city once you get a command of it. It has everything a monger could want, hot girls for cheap, cheap condos for great prices, easy transportation and a laid back and friendly environment except for the beach. If they could get a handle on the beach scene and stop the hassling, this would elevate the destination a bit.

Got back a couple weeks ago from my latest trip. I have made 4 trips in the last two months, spending all 4 weeks wife up with the same girl....

So I got back two weeks ago from my third trip in two months to see her. Same as last time, we had a blast. Just hung around and fucked all day. She made almost all our meals, cleaned the condo and my clothes. No problems, no arguments.

It was holy week and Monday was a holiday. The city and the beach were packed. Mostly with families and a lot of Colombians. Not a problem for us, we spent most days on the balcony overlooking the beach, so it was like we were there but without the hassles.

Centro was rocking, at night there was plenty of girls at the clock tower looking for playmates. All shapes and sizes. Going prices were the same, roughly 120 K to 150 K.

I spent a few nights in the casino, since they were right next door. Did OK, made a few pesos playing blackjack, she had fun losing money in the slots. Drinks are shit and the personnel are nothing to rave about. Certainly not Vegas but a good way to spend a few hours.

Same as all the other trips, no problems, no arguing except one night. We seem to have the one night per trip where we get off track. She slept on the couch for half the night before she realized I was not giving in and joined me in bed. Besides that, same ole thing, wake up, fuck, have breakfast, oral session, shower, either go out to centro, beach or pool for a few hours, back to condo, fuck, nap, oral session, drink and drugs, fuck and sleep. Rinse and repeat for 7 days. No money talked about or exchanged hands. I gave her the standard 100 K to travel there and then 100 K on last day for her to get home. She met and dropped me off at airport. She made almost all our meals, cleaned and did laundry.

You can order from a ton of restaurants, fast food, groceries from grocery store or smaller groceries from places like Exito Express. They also deliver from pharmacies and even can do money exchange or have them make an ATM run for you.

Both trips we used it a few times. Groceries. Beer, soda, snacks and cigarettes. Restaurants for lunch and dinner. Never a problem.

I love spending time with her, she is a real princess. After 4 trips in 2 months, time to move on. At least that is the plan. Who knows, things change. I will probably be on my way down there in a few weeks after I miss her enough, who knows.

Hi Gents,

I will go to Colombia next month for the very first time. I'm looking a low budget hotel, guestfriendly and close to the action. Where I have to stay, any recommendations for Cartagena. Thanks.

You at the right place. Read here, and you'll know everything you need. I wish you a happy and fruitful reading experience.

My tout sent me videos today of protests in Cartagena. Evidently the local government wants to remove all the current workers from the beaches and hand them over "to the hotels. " I'm not sure exactly what he is referring to but it looks like this puts places like playa Hollywood in jeaopardy. This would certainly clean up the beaches in places like Bocagrande.

I hope he keeps you up-to-date on that and you can let us know about any developments on that.

[The Tall Man]

I can definitely see that, there were a few girls who wanted to talk about price right off the bat or wouldn't dance more than a song or two before saying lets leave. If I told them I want to dance, they would tell me I had to pay them for that and while I understand, it ruins the vibe for me so I move on. I'd rather be given the fantasy that we're both having a good time rather than it feel like just a transaction LOL.

From your lips to gods ears, so true.

One chica complained that most guys just want to party but no "work. " I think she meant it wouldn't result in going home with the guy and getting paid. The bigger problem I'm seeing is there are simply too many chicas that don't appear to be "working" at all. Some of them come with a backpack and denims like they're just going there to see if they can get lucky.

Going back in September but if its just a crowd of ugly Venezuelans I'm changing venues.

I am OK with touts and I understand there place, but this time around they were overwhelming. Any beach and even when I went to Blanca. Just non stop.
