Also Blacksheep hostel has a (less academic) Spanish program as well.
I see ladies +25 at Mayorista and Cucuta in centro. To me, it is more difficult to find decent looking +30 P4P ladies than finding the same under 30.[/QUOTE]Black sheep does not offer that anymore
First time in Medallo. Would like to hang out if you are there. Any advice would be appreciated.

Play fair.
Don't hit people.
Put things back where you found them.
Clean up your own mess.
Don't take things that aren't yours.
Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody.
Wash your hands before you eat.
Flush.
Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.
Live a balanced life.
Learn some and think some.
And draw and paint and sing and dance.
And play and work everyday some.
Take a nap every afternoon.
When you go out into the world,
Watch out for traffic,
Hold hands and stick together.
Be aware of wonder.

More than anything (sex, dining, etc) , take care of your health. I would have a flu shot before you go. Many people catch cold / flu in Medellin. Gargle a lot at the airports and in town. The air in Medellin is extremely dirty with unregulated car emission. Also I would avoid uncooked vegetables and fruits. Be careful of even cooked fish, too.

Be careful of even cooked fish, too.[/QUOTE]Thanks. I will do that. Here is list I made so far (I will have to refine / add to the list until I leave from here)
1. RTFF & then some (Read all of MattPschye's reports. Unbelievable info. Kudos!)
2. Weather is about the avg 60-70F. ([url]http://www.weatherbase.com/weather/weather.php3?s=1108[/url]). Dress appropriately. Take your t.
3. Brush up on Spanish. If no Spanish try taking a 2-4 week intensive course. Check your local community colleges they have cheap classes or you can get a tutor from craigslist or wyzant.
4. I skipped Mansion for a private apartment from Barry. I could have used the brotherhood atmosphere but I have to work for few hours a day and need a quiet and private place.
5. I have spoken to Medellin Paisa to be my guide & Jimmy for airport pickup & any rides in general.
6. Buy spirits / smoke from Duty free shops at airport.
7. Personally I am not a big reader. To kill time on plane I am going to get iPad games like Kingdom Rush, new Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja, where's my water. Yes I am juvenile that way.
After I get there.
1. Blend in if possible. I am a gringo on the inside but a brown skinned east indian dude on the outside. In HDR, The security used to pat me down while letting my wingman just walk by.
2. Carry wallet in front & Be aware of your surroundings just like you would on any new area.
3. Get a cell phone (need to do more research on this)
My Challenges.
1. No Spanish. From what I read this going to seriously degrade my experience. I am going to use Google translate app & I will be taking few classes between now & my trip but I doubt I will be able to converse at all. At least I will learn something for my future trips.
2. Traveling alone & staying in a private apartment. I don't know how I will work around this. Casa's by the Day & Escorts by the night? TLN's is my thing.
3. Looks (not applicable to this trip but any in general). Because of issue 1 this could be extrapolated.
I could have opted for a stay at HLH or SL and have had a easier time but I so curios to find out why people rave about Medellin women in general.
Please PM whack my noob ass if I am posting anything that is too obvious.

Please PM whack my noob ass if I am posting anything that is too obvious.[/QUOTE]I hear you on the Private Apartment thing. I would like to have access to the huge numbers of working girls the Mansion has available but the party atmosphere and ruckus would not work for me. How would my Web chat / conference calls go with a guy banging some chicas head against the shared wall! Hahahhaha! I work most times when I'm down in Colombia ESPECIALLY on longer trips. Plus my novia would shit herself if she new I was staying at the most famous P4P house in Medellin. This also KILLS any chance of bringing back a normal girl to your place.
TLN? I would say go to Mayorista; lots of guys are down on it but I find some VERY good talent there for VERY reasonable prices. Casas like New Life and Energy close pretty early so you can go there, get a number and set up a date. Please note if she has a busy life TLN might not be on the table but late into the night might be. Somebody got to get the kid to school in the morning!
Phase 2 and San Diego and Luna-what evers close so late that TLN would be not worth it IMO. I go to these spots and get dates set up for the next day before the club and junk.
I guess the mansion would be best for TLN. Next time maybe stay and get a stack of numbers, always get as MANY numbers as you can. Girls change numbers like socks in Colombia and leave the game. Also share these numbers with me via PM! Ask for Wendy's number!
@the Monger. Ask Barry if he has an extra phone around he might be able to hook you up. Just go and buy a sim card once you get the phone.
My friend. No need to worry go out and enjoy. Medellin is much better then any third world country. I could easily compare Medellin to KL in Malaysia or even Singapore. Only difference you need basic Spanish. Staying at the apartment will be trouble some as to even if you have the girls phone numbers how will you talk to them about coming over. How will you tell them your address.
Purchase a phone from Oviedo Mall. I hope you are at least staying in Poblado area.
Rest you will have a great time.
Advices. (make sure not to carry anything expensive) no rings no watches. If you have an expensive phone be careful not to pull it out in Centro area where I assume you may be going for your afternoons.
For all nights try to get the girls to come over to your place around 9 or earlier.
If that fails Plan B for me is go to Casa de Piedra (Lindas Chicas) expensive option but tell her Nick sent you and she will hook you up.
Understand this is an expensive option but their is a reason for it when all else fails this place never fails. Nancy is the owner. Phone number for them is in Medellin List.
Rest all the BS about safety issues for Medellin is all crap. Some one has to be either unlucky or plain stupid to be doing stupid shit to be getting in trouble in Poblado area.
Health issues in Colombia (come on man this is all BS to keep people away). We have many people including on this board who want to keep this piece of heaven all to themselves.
I have never used Poblado Rentals but if I had to rent an apartment they will be my number 1 choice. I am sure if you tell them about your issues they will gladly help.
Regards,
John.

He chose the finest aptartments to stay in! HE got the best driver (and a hell of a great guy) And Medellin Paisa has all of his chica needs more than handled, Only thing to do now is rest up, It should be an interesting adventure.

I hope you are not that guy or you might as well be wearing a target on your shirt.
Just relax, enjoy yourself, enjoy the beauty of the city, women and culture. Don't stress so much. Have fun.
Just got back from Colombia after an 8 day trip. We were 4 buddies who wanted to play golf and have some fun on the side. We were unable to make arrangements of Golf in Medellin so for the first leg of the trip we were in Bogota (4 days) primarily for golf. The weather was crappy and it rained every day. Luckily we were playing in a course about 20 miles out of town and up in the hills. Beautiful course and we avoided rain most of the time during our play. Not much girl action in Bogota as we did not venture out much. Our limitations was that none of us were fluent in Spanish and could barely get across the cab guys and caddy's (The Google translator app is flaky at best). I have been to Costa Rica couple of times and never had the language issue like we faced in Bogota. We were staying in a private apartment on 92 Ave and it was in a very upscale neighborhood. We did go down to a strip joint close by which was very high end and had waterfall and Jacuzzi built into the dancing floor (forget the name). Two of my buddies picked up girls from there for TLN. Between the drinks, bar fine and extras to the girls, it came to about $300 each. (Yeah, I know). We also visited a MP (supposed to be the most upscale in Bogota). It was clean, nice rooms and had 8-10 girl line up. I think it was 150K pesos for a FS massage.
So what we missed in Bogota, we made it up in Medellin. Landed at 6 PM in Medellin (after playing a quick round of golf in Bogota) and got received by Jimmy and Medellin Paisa (MP) at the airport. The idea was to rest that night and start action the next day. That all changed during the drive from the Airport to Casa Loma (Barry's Mafioso style pad) with MP laying out the options. By 9 PM that night we had 7-8 girls ringing the door bell of our apartment. By 11 PM the party was in full swing and the biggest problem we faced was "Which one to choose?". Eventually everyone made their choices and I ended up with two crazy lesbians (story for another day). That was the start and it was party every night for the next 4 days. MP was with us for 4 days and it was a boon to have him around. We also ventured out to tour Medellin and used the Metro more than once. Let me say this. They are cleaner and more efficient then NY subway and the crowd was far more friendly. Walked the streets of Santa Domingo and sat on road side restaurants to have a bite. Never once felt threatened or unsafe. I wish we knew Spanish so that we could interact better with the locals / chicas there.
To sum it up, it was a great trip and having the right connections helped us non Spanish speaking guys, have a blast in Colombia. Forums like these help a lot in making the right decisions and I thank everyone for their contribution here.

Thanks. You can PM me.
