Sophomore monger in Medellin
Planning a solo trip to MDE Jan-March. Just started going through the forum as a first timer, but hoping for any catered advice or to chat with anyone willing. I plan writing an extensive trip report so I can contribute some value to the forum.
Background: Mid 30's American. Started mongering this year. Have done RLD in Amsterdam, strippers in VIP rooms / hotels in Miami Atlanta. Poor Spanish, but using this as motivation to get to functional tourist fluency. My 1st trip to South America. Considered Barcelona as an AMS equivalent, but this is slightly closer and cheaper.
Goal: Being ISG, knowing that there's variability and always risk I want to make this simple, hassle free, safest for high volume of "high end" girls 8-10's. My tastes are the conventionally attractive, in shape, slim thick Instagram types, enhancements or natural even if a 6-7 would perform better. In Amsterdam I was doing 3 girls a day from window girls, which is child's play in difficulty compared to MDE it seems. I plan on coming back to MDE / Colombia, Sao Paolo, Barcelona in future for Latin mongering, so this 1st trip I want to play it safe.
Targets: La Isla, Fase II, Loutron, Gusto. Seems enough volume of safe options for high end girls near where I'll look to stay in El Poblado. If 1 sucks, its not too far to do the loop. Maybe once I settle a couple days I'll be more adventurous.
1) I've been told that race may matter. I'm ethnically east African, but ambiguously brown to where I'm Cuban / Dominican, maybe pull of dark skin Colombian. Muscular but avg height, so maybe I'm not the easiest target but being solo I won't push it & will dress plain to local standards. Will my look change general recommendations with safety or girls?
2) Is it worth forcing a 2.5 day trip sooner, or just wait until I can do a max 5-7 days to do it right?
3) Budget: If 5-7 days, for food and lodging I'll go the mid / high end route. As for the girls, I'll have the energy for 2-3 sessions a day. What would be an upper limit ceiling for 10 encounters giving buffer for covers, transport, a few drinks, expendables?
4) Transport: Uber to those clubs from Poblado are all 10 min or less. Is walking 30-40 min too risky?
5) Ignoring budget & assuming Poblado location, any major benefit of mid / high end hotel vs high end SuperHost Airbnb? Airbnb's may more easily allow guests, but hotels have security. Read nice, guest friendly, Poblado hotels are Hotel Dorado La 70, Hotel Poblado Plaza, Art Hotel Boutique.
6) Is there a general curfew that it gets exceptionally more risky to be out solo? I'll be making daytime visits and only want to be out at night only as late as needed for the best menu.
Much appreciated to any advice or criticisms. I'll gladly answer any DM's about AMS, MIA, ATL if helpful.
Negative and Positive Comments
[QUOTE=Vitrea;2742859]I don't get the negative comments about Medellin from a few people. I don't really understand the guys making comments like 'oh, this is why I don't go to Medellin" .or "this is what Medellin used to be " what is the point of this? Who does that help? And how does that help?
Anyway, I have been coming here 7 years straight and I have an absolute best time every time I come. Dollar is stronger than ever. I pay less now in dollars compared to 5 years ago. There is so much variety for all tastes and price ranges. No one is ruining it for anyone. You could pay 40 mil or 1000 mil a session, there are girls and venues that offer that and clients willing to pay that, 11 am to 2 am every day of the week. Hard to beat.[/QUOTE]I think the good and the bad comments about Medellin are very helpful. If it is just the guys who enjoy Medellin, it is the full story about Medellin. I welcome the negative comments about Medellin because it lets guys know that it is not all good in Medellin. As with all places, there is good and there is bad and sometimes you get a mixed experience.
That point is that there are some guys on the fence about going to Medellin and negative comments allow them to make an informed decision.
For guys who are going to Latin America for the first time, I actually think it would be better to go to Guadalaja, Mexico or Costa Rica first because it is just easier for gringos who don't speak English and it is a safer experience.
That being said, I just came back from Medellin and I had a good time but there were some negatives to the trip. When I have time, I will post a few comments about my trip.
