Maiden voyage to MDE
Been lurking reading as much as I can. Question for the vets here what hotel would you recommend that's located between Downtown and Gringoville that's chica friendly and nice enough to not scare the FB chicas. I plan to do some hunting in the downtown area while setting up citas with the FB chicas. Also for any board members in town around 8/25 - 9/3 let's link up. I'm fluent in Spanish so no language barriers.
[QUOTE=ThadMax;2342422]Just as a personal note. I was stopped in an uber late at night after going to a night venue. It was around 1 am and the cops randomly waved the uber over. They asked me to get out and asked me if I had drugs. They proceeded to thoroughly search me meticulously and looked in the car. I am a 30-something olive skinned male who could pass for Colombian (until I open my mouth). Thankfully I didn't have anything but I got the impression I'd be in significant trouble if I did have something on me.
I would advise caution when traveling abroad in Colombia thinking you can roll around with even a joint on you. The horrors of the Colombian prison system should scare you enough not to be reckless in a foreign country. It's not worth it.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Monger261;2342454]You don't go to jail, they will pretend to search your wallet for drugs but in reality checking out how much money you have so you can pay them off. [/QUOTE]I think you know nothing about Medellin, other than you know it is in Colombia.

I don't think it matters much whether you are in a taxi or an Uber. I agree I think they are looking for drugs. In my case it was a quick search they did not appear very interested in anything else. I had all of one beer in me. I read this thread and was prepared. I had a brief jovial conversation with the officer in my broken Spanish and was on my way. Entire stop was maybe 2-3 mins.

[QUOTE=IamLookin;2340761]Does anyone know the status of the tunnel construction? Hoping in late August it will be ready when I return to Medellin.[/QUOTE]Went to MDE from Medellin on Monday and it wasn't working.

Motels
There are massage houses Tantra, or Energy that will fit the bill but not sure about CIM, found that is hard to get. There are lots on nice love motels all around and they are not very expensive. The casas are going to have rooms but the looks may be hit or miss.
[QUOTE=PilotPete;2342088]I will be coming to Colombian Immersion Spanish School for the 6 week course in a month. The housing, with a local family, will probably not be conducive to bringing in ladies for overnight companionship. I am not a partier and mostly prefer a relaxing massage and BBBJ with CIM. I am also a lot more interested in talent over looks. Is it safe to assume that is available in a safe and comfortable environment somewhere reasonably close?[/QUOTE]

Hotel
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 Medellin. Thanks.

Any place that sells CBD in Medellin?

I have been looking for a better grade places like nice AirBnB's but when I inquire about having guests I am being told they have strict rules against bringing in prostitutes and 24 HR doorman. All guest must register with ID.
Found some information on [URL]medellinGuru.com[/URL].
I have decided against Poblado due to all the hills and am considering Laureles. Maybe Terra Biohotel.

I assume your host family is located somewhere nearby. There isn't anything I'm aware of nearby. However, there might be some options in El Poblado, which you can reach by bus. Look for the yellow buses on Carrera 43 A (Avenida Poblado) that say Parque Poblado or CC San Diego in the window. Watch for the Panamericana store on the right. Just north of that is Rio Sur mall. It has a large bronze bull in front. Try OM Spa for men inside. You may not get BBBJ and CIM, but you might.
You might also search Facebook for Manuela Arroyave Tratamientos Esteticas. She used to do erotic massage. Now I believe she has a legit business, massage, makeup and such, but you never know.
Other than that, you'll probably have to search.

I will be there around the same time if you want to link up. I have still not found where I will be staying. I am considering close to downtown since the Casa map has a lot going on in that area. I also wanted to explore Mansion and most of the prominent clubs / casas members have mentioned. I feel I have read the last 100 pages of this thread, but while I know some of the neighborhood pocket names, it is difficult to understand without having been there before. I am extremely excited regardless. I have had a good amount of success using tinder in Colombia; many girls are receptive so I am hoping a few of those work out. I have been trying to pay for premium membership but seems that their payment system is down so I don't think I can receive PMs, but if anyone wants to meet up I'the like the same. Or if you have lodging recommendations, I would appreciate that. I will also be staying in Bogota for a few days after Medellin. Thanks for all the information so far, I would not have booked this trip if it was not for what I read from you all on this thread.
[QUOTE=TriFreak1;2342623]I'll be in Medellin from 8/25 - 9/3. This will be my 1st trip to MDE but been to Thailand, Peru and DR I'm fluent in Spanish so if there's anyone there at that time and want to link up hmu. In reading the reports and being to casa in DR and Peru I'm not a fan of them. I know I'll be spending a lot of time mining for some nuggets in the downtown area. I've established a nice network of FB girls so I plan on keeping busy with that along with the occasional strip club venture. My question is what hotel do yall recommend that's chica friendly centrally located from downtown to gringoville and not run down enough that the FB chicas are hesitant to roll through?[/QUOTE]

Fancy Medellin
[QUOTE=KilledSoul;2331548]This has got me interested. Can you share a trip report or an experience with paisa where you have done this. What kind of girl was it, where did you meet her? And what were the benefits of "impressing the Medellin community"?[/QUOTE]The girls I did find on the street / café just being polite. Paisas can say yes, while porteńas don't pay a least attention towards you. And the paisas are far more elegant and exotic! BS As are worse than Sexprison or Europe!
On the many sites you will find good looking girls, that are authentic, they are pretty, elegant, charming and in the most cases don't try to trick you, 88% are just good persons.
While communicating before the event I tell her to dress elegantly, or / and visit a CC to buy her something nice.
Since I'm 46 and dress like a gentleman, which is a pain until 10 pm, while the heat abruptly diminish, like the brisas at café del Mar in Cartagena and bring a pretty elegant girl and we both speak Spanish it's easy to mingle, and sometimes they are my friends, while not, we just say that she is my teacher and share the same interest in culture. On couple, retired even invited us to lunch at the faboulos Botanic Garden.
These girls have to have an upp-middle class dialect, know some essential codes etc. A girl who was post-graduate impressed they guys in the bar at Metro, but she was kind of un -easy but we are still friends, she is marriage material, but spends 99% of her time working, teaching and specializing in odontology.
FB girls in this environment made me embarrassed.
I love Crispini and Pomodoro and the small French place Rincon Frances. To to fancy but good service food and welcomming staff.

I have heard.
[QUOTE=Orgasmico;2342733]Went to MDE from Medellin on Monday and it wasn't working.[/QUOTE]When I was in Medellin last month, my taxi driver said the plan was for August. But of course the date has already changed a few times. It was originally supposed to be open last year. Apparently they had water leaking into the tunnel.
So maybe August will be the date, but don't hold your breath. It's Colombia.
And I wonder if the taxi fare will be impacted. As the taxi driver said the cost of using the tunnel will be higher than the regular highway. And I would not expect them to eat the difference.

Facebook Groups
So many of you talk about FB groups, but no one provides the name of the groups. I went to Medellin last month and plan to go back. I checked out and played at the usual spots. Had a great time. I'd like to make some FB connections before I go back. Can somebody help me out here. Thanks.
[QUOTE=SoberHans69;2342223]You can usually tell the ones who are P4P as they have pictures in their underwear in their public pictures. Once you find one just keep checking through their friends list and add any friends they have who look like hookers and repeat. Also if you find a monger on their friends list usually they'll have a lot of P4P girls as friends.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=FunLuvr;2342689]I think you know nothing about Medellin, other than you know it is in Colombia.[/QUOTE]I've been there many times and didn't need anything but common sense but prefer Bogota. Been to that low key after hours spot next to bam bam bar where all the Luna lunera and night clubs girls go when they didn't make any money, same with Fahrenheit. Cops did try to shake me down when my driver took me to an ATM at my request, my driver was on the floor when I got back to the car with guns pointed at him. They claimed they thought he was robbing me after they searched me for drugs and looked through the crevices of my wallet. Showed them a police PBA card and made up that I work for the US embassy as security and they apologized and let me go. They were hoping to find drugs so I can pay them. If you are young and american partying at 4 am, I was not surprised that it happened, but if you're the avg aging gringo monger banging away on a pension (u?) then they would have no reason to try or you'd be at home sleeping after the metamucil.
I think you don't know anything besides mongering and can only live vicariously through it to be making pointless sad accusations.
