Medellin Reports

[Husker Dude]

I'm wondering why the heck they ask personal trip related questions? None of their business. I understand if those questions were asked once you enter Colombia, by Colombian authorities, but entering USA? Wtf. Of course, they can search my luggage, ask me if I need to declare anything, etc. But going through my phone / laptop, asking what I did in Colombia, etc makes no sense. What happens in Colombia stays in Colombia.

I got stopped last year in Miami coming back from Colombia. I had gone to the Dominican Republic about 2 months prior & they quizzed me about both trips, took my iPhone and iPad to the back for about an hour. Caused me to miss my connection.

I've seen a lot of posts here about using FB and SA in Medellin. I saw that there is a guide on how to use FB but was wondering if there is a similar guide for SA. Most of my mongering is done through photoprepagos and mileroticos with some spa action mixed in but based off what I have read here it seems that FB and SA give some really good opportunities too. Main questions I have are:

1. What do you message them at first? Should you just say I am looking for a PPM arrangement, what are your rates and what do you do? Or is it more subtle?

2. Should I message first or wait for girls to add me?

3. How soon before my trip should I start messaging?

Thanks.

This is what I did. You may get better advice than this but I am just saying how I did it. I am actually hoping others chime in. Obviously she can put the whole thing off the rails at any point or cut to the chase at any point.

1) Here is the "I know you're a nice girl but how much to fuck?" dance.

A) Hello,how are you, you have beautiful.

Response.

B) what kind of a relation are you looking for maybe we could meet if you like. Let's switch to Whatsapp.

She will probably give you some BS here. The best answer is beneficios mutuo. She will ask you what you are looking for – tell her you want the same.

C) after you tell her what you are looking for mention that the physical thing is important but be gentle about it, apologize for being forward but you are only here for a short time, would she like to come to your place for a drink, you would be happy to give her a gift.

She will ask what kind of gift. You should ask her what sort of gift she would like – you can now negotiate the price – after you negotiate the price. Then you need to lay out you expectations re services and make sure she agrees.

2) just message them.

3) I would not start more than a day or two before – you need to establish a date and time to meet when you are getting to the point.

I haven't had it happen since I got Global Entry, but prior to that I was stopped once in New York and once in Miami.

The beauty of Global Entry is they typically don't ask questions like a lot of other guys have been experiencing who don't have GE.

In essence they just waive you thru but on a few occasions I've been asked if I have anything to declare which they always ask of non GE participants.

GE was set into place to streamline the immigration process, and anyone who travels internationally is foolish not to have it.

A perfect example of this having nothing to do with questioning, but are the wait times to get thru immigration at some airports.

Probably the biggest offender is Fort Lauderdale. I remember returning from Colombia with a buddy who did not have GE and it took him over an hour to get thru immigration and I was thru it in five minutes.

Not everybody can get GE though, but for those who can, just the wait time alone getting thru immigration is what the real value can be.

And after returning from Colombia the last thing you want to deal with are immigration officials asking questions.

I think they ask question to catch your mistake. They don't really want your answer. That is why it is best to keep the answer simple. Let's say you traveled around the world for 12 months and returned from your last stop Mexico City. They may ask how long have you been in Mexico City? You say 3 days which does not match their expectation either by design or stupidity and they may act in a way that make you think you did something wrong but it really is that they ask the wrong question considering they do this everyday.

I don't think it's complicated, just say your girlfriend lives there or you have property. What they can get you for is bringing controlled substances / medications back from Colombia so be careful about that.

Yeah it is not complicated when you tell the truth. Why lie? Because when they catch you in a lie they are going to put a microscope up your ass and you will probably end up on some list. When they ask you what is the address of your property or for your girlfriend's phone number, you better have a good answer. Once they had my buddy call the girlfriend he was going to see. Luckily it was not a lie!

Just came back from a 3 week trip. My main targets were new and repeat FB chicas and Centro SWs brought back to my apartment.

As far as prices go, in peso terms, I was pleasantly surprised that prices didn't increase much, especially zero increase in Centro girl prices. The dollar being so high right now I ended up spending a lot less than I thought I would.

New FB girls took what I offered last year but pressured me to pay an additional 20-50 mil for taxi. So after some meetings I just added more taxi money as a part of my initial offer. Girls I knew from last year or earlier accepted previous year's price without a taxi surcharge.

I got flaked on a lot this time, at least 10 times and 4 times from the same girl that I really wanted to see (and did succeed in seeing in the end). But since I stayed in Laureles, it was a 10 min taxi ride to Centro and before 8 pm there are always plenty of girls who'd accept my offer to go back to my AirBNB. Typically I would schedule an FB appointment one day ahead and confirm same day in the morning and again 2 hours ahead. The best is when the girl confirmed by herself. If the girl doesn't respond to the 2-hour notice, you're going to be pretty sure she'll flake or at least be very late, since it takes them 1 HR to do makeup / get dressed and 1 hour or so to travel by taxi.

Many girls from previous trips gained weight, so it's important to see recent pics even if you knew them from before. I posted a mini-guide on how to avoid overweight chicas a short while ago. I think it's a good idea to refresh your FB list before each trip to filter out those girls that haven't taken care of themselves.

If you enjoy girls with small thin bodies, Centro has great pickings. However the SW scene is just better in Bogota, so they were just backups in case of flakes. I don't think there's a reason to go to Medellin if your main goal is low cost SWs or in-house services in clubs.

Worst thing that happened this time was a scam that I posted about a few days ago. Some of the best sessions include a part time model with a perfect porn star body, a centro girl who just came from some small town in Venezuela who also had an excellent undamaged body, two girls who thought my ethnicity was exotic and was really into me (nothing like this happens in the US LOL).

Though I've been to Medellin several times before, this was the coldest trip that I can remember. I only brought 2 long sleeves and 2 jackets, none of these were particularly thick. I wish I'd brought one sweater because it did get really cold, like Bogota level cold, when it rained.

That puts a damper on the trip for sure. Don't they use lube at New Life?

Went to New Life today. Pulled out only to realize the condom was a ring. Chich immediately freaked out.

Drugs, human trafficking, money laundering / cash smuggling, fugitive from justice. They have their profiles and they are constantly on the lookout.

A good chance that it is drugs they are questioning. That is the other reason for frequent trips back and forth to the same place in Colombia.

[Knowledge]

The reason for the questions is the inspectors are looking for people who are involved in illegal activity. If you can explain your reason for traveling to Colombia in any reasonable way without nervous or evasive behavior it is highly unlikely there will be follow up questions. The question international traveler hear from immigration people more than any other is "what is the purpose of your travel?" The most common follow up question is "what do you do for a living?" These are not complicated questions. Inspectors quickly become suspicious when they receive unusually complicated, hesitant, or evasive responses. When they receive the logical responses they normally receive delivered in a direct and natural manner, they send the travelers on their way. Hostile or agitated behavior will also lead to further investigation.

Some good examples: what is the purpose of your travel. Vacation, why so often. I have friends, some are retired, how do they like being retired there. They enjoy the climate and cost of living. Some bad examples: what is the purpose of your travel. Uh-uh what do you mean. I don't know, Sir what do you do for a living. I'm kind of an investor, Are you married. What's it to you!

I'm wondering why the heck they ask personal trip related questions? None of their business. I understand if those questions were asked once you enter Colombia, by Colombian authorities, but entering USA? Wtf. Of course, they can search my luggage, ask me if I need to declare anything, etc. But going through my phone / laptop, asking what I did in Colombia, etc makes no sense.

This is good advice. Be advised however it is not strictly legal to lie to federal officials. It can cause a variety of personal and professional problems down the line. It's best to be honest and stick to the facts. If you claim to own property somewhere it's unlikely be an issue in the situation of an immigration conversation. It the inspector becomes suspicious, the very next question would be something similar to "what is the address of your property?" If you are going to deal in half truths or outright lies, you better be prepared for follow up questions. That is why a response like "I visited friends" or "I wanted to see the parts of the Botero collection I wasn't able to get to during previous trips. " Inspectors are on the lookout for nervous behavior, inconsistent statements, and profiles such as middle aged gringo men traveling alone. Information is power.

I haven't had it happen since I got Global Entry, but prior to that I was stopped once in New York and once in Miami. Sometime around 2012-2014. I don't think it's complicated, just say your girlfriend lives there or you have property. What they can get you for is bringing controlled substances / medications back from Colombia so be careful about that.

In regards to sex crimes, I do know someone that was wrapped up in the Colombia Jake stuff and he was stopped, questioned, and retained both in Colombia and in the US. US Feds were in Colombia and they kept him overnight trying to get more information, but were primarily focused on underage stuff and suspected trafficking with his 'dating service,' not the normal prostitution.

It happened to me three times, first in Atlanta and twice in Orlando. The questions were, are you married? Does your family know about your trip? Why do you go to the same place if you are a tourist? I answered that my friend owns a BNB and I am a sleeping partner. I also said Medellin is our common meeting place for all my friends all over the USA. The officer questioned me with attitude and visibly in an unfriendly manner. Honestly, I am still scrambling for a solid answer since I visit MDE three times a year. Any suggestion? And sorry, I can't tell "for pussy".

With Montreal I would just say I was visiting my favorite place in the world and also a special bar that I liked to hang out at and meet people and that I needed a little vacation from home. And it was actually true. I didn't bring up the women I also planned to meet. I was only going for 3-4 days at a time though and it was driving. Enough specifics but also vauge enough. I would let them ask the bar name and for any more info if they wanted. They rarely did. Way over thinking it, but if things ever got to searching me they would have found receipts for said bar.

Maybe consider something cultural like learning salsa, immersing yourself in Spanish. Etc. Connecting with friends is valid too. When they ask why you can't learn salsa at home, you mention that you are fortunate to have the means to go to the experts and the weather is good for you. Or that you keep going back to explore more and more before deciding to do an investment and / you decide that you might want to start living there for part of the year.

Now I thought of those things because they happen to be true, just like my Montreal example.

For Colombia, I have always just said business when coming and going and I get an immediate stamp. But yet again that happens to be true. I leave out all the other true cultural and social things in this case because it might just muddy the waters.
