Medellin Reports

[Vern2020]

If you don't have another account using the same pictures, I don't think Facebook goes to the trouble of searching the Internet for a match. If, by chance, you have a local friend who has the same friend as you, you will probably be exposed to your friend. They do a cross check and post "People you may know" in the friend's timeline. Do not have another gringo as a friend in your monger account. That is how many people get exposed.

OK, sounds like I have nothing to worry about, then. Thanks very much. I guess I overestimated facebook's technology. I do not consider my self an overly paranoid person. Just had the wrong idea about facebook! I'm pretty sure I'll go to Medellin for my next trip. Many months away from now. I studied Spanish for 3 months on the computer for my recent trip to Dominican Republic. Got the basics down. I plan to put in more study time throughout the year to up my skills for Colombia!

I'm thinking of going to Medellin for vacation next year. I went to Sosua this year and San Jose the year before that. I do write trip reports, and appreciate the help I get on this site. Sorry, this is a real noob question. I would like to set up a facebook account to meet girls ahead of time in Medellin. But I have never done facebook before. I don't even have a legit facebook account for myself. I think I can figure out the part about setting up an alias e-mail and opening the account. My question is if I post photos of myself, will my friends and family members be directed to my monger account because facebook has facial recognition and tags me? Do I need to take any precautions to keep anyone I know from figuring out I have a facebook page dedicated to trying to meet girls in a foreign country? Thanks.

Tried Energy on Friday evening, did not like the lineup or the ambiance. Walked away. The place is not that easy to find, and there is no "energy" sign outside.

So overall Medellin experience average / below. Both girls and service were not upto my expectations, and language is overall an issue.

Happy Mongering,

1. Casas, salas de citas. Do not have signs, they look like any nondescript office or apartment. 2. Evenings are the worst time to visit them. Late morning or early afternoon. 3. Gems are not typically found in the well-known, higher profile casas like Energy. They are high volume girls, typically "operadas" (surgically remastered, robotic chicas) Patience, walking shoes, and dig a little deeper. 4. Yes its a spanish speaking society, any travelog book at your local library will say so.

So it's a hard and fast rule, never to walk at night? That's a pity, since it's sunset at around 6 pm.

That would be a crazy rule. Means you would never go anywhere. The area scares people like SBT because there are some homeless people and drug addicts. They don't bother you though. One time I took my young cousin and his friend down to Medellin. On the first night we came in at 2 am. The next day they said they had walked back down to DeGrieff to fuck some more hoes at 4 am. They are still living and breathing and living normal lives.

Fun Lovr, Crypton and Mr Enternational, thanks a lot for your advice! Is the RLD within walking distance of the downtown then? I mean this area below. What's a street reference for that area?

Are the chicas all independents, or do they have pimps? Lots of guys hanging around in those videos, do you have to look out who's around before taking one to a room?

I think I would like to stay in downtown, same logic as Mr Enternational. Are there lots of Casas in the downtown? Do love hotels exist in Medellin, if I want to meet a prepagado, but not at my place ?

So it's a hard and fast rule, never to walk at night? That's a pity, since it's sunset at around 6 pm. What about in a busy shopping street for example? In Buenos Aires I remember walking until late in the evening.

By the way, if anyone happens to be going to the DR, Spain, Belgium, Germany or Hungary by any chance, I'm happy to advise!

[Mr Enternational]

There are various options for areas and types of places to stay. However, there is no best option. It depends on your preferences and and how much you want to spend.

Exactly. One of my main wingmen prefers to get a $50 condo in Poblado/Lleras, while I prefer my $13 hotel downtown. Most of my time is spent downtown, so I don't want to be traveling back and forth when I can walk outside the door and already be there. Plus I'm really only in the room to sleep. I have only been to Poblado/Lleras 2 times.

Hi there, I'll be coming to Colombia for the first time in January for at least 3 weeks, plan to hit Bogota and Medellin at least. I speak pretty good Spanish and have mongered a lot in Europe, the DR and Argentina, however all I know about Colombia is what have read and seen online. I've read back many pages here, but still have to ask some annoying newbie questions....

I know it's tedious, but I suggest you take a little time and go back a few months on this list. You will find the answers you're looking for.

I would like to rent a place (on Airbnb probably) in an area with regular Colombian shops / cafes, not too snobby and not rundown. Any recommendations? What about downtown? Someone near the majority of the casas if possible.

Are taxi's there cheap / safe? What about the metro? Is the RLD safe to walk around during the daytime? I'm a bit of a lone wolf, so if I don't find myself in a group of guys, is it unsafe to walk around there at night? Are the hotel rooms there safe / clean? Are there many Casas in that neighborhood too? Questions !! Questions!!

I'm interested in the RLD district in Medellin as I notice a lot of curvier types on youtube videos which I suspect I won't see in the Casas, or am I wrong? Are there casas that are better for this type? (tits and ass!)

I read a lot of you guys talking about chicas you meet online, maybe I'm not as with it as some of you, as I've only really used Badoo for this in the past in the DR. What better sites should I be using? I don't really get how you can meet chicas you don't know on Facebook?

Ok guys, sorry for all the questions, but any help would be much appreciated!

I've never stayed in the downtown area, so I can't provide any advice for hotels or apartments there. The downtown area is loaded with Colombian shops and restaurants. Recently, I've been staying in Laureles. It is easy to travel between there and downtown for less than a dollar. Hotels and apartments in Laureles are clean and safe. The renter is the one who introduces non-safe conditions in almost all cases.

Taxis are very cheap and safe, but you don't need a taxi to visit the RLD and the casas in downtown. You can walk to most of them. There are many casas. Only walk during the daytime, never after dark. The areas in downtown you should avoid are where you don't see any locals walking. The Metro is cheap, fast, and safe. It's never happened to me, but I have heard of pickpocketers on the Metro. Other than going to and from the airport (or between places you are staying), never carry anything that, if you lost it, would cause a problem for you.

Most of the downtown casas will have some big chicas (the ones you call curvy).

I have met almost all the chicas I know on Facebook. You need to get a start, and then it will be like rabbits, they multiple fast.

The girls are gorgeous do you have contacts for them pm them please? What is the fb scene?

Had an amazing trip to Medellin. This time stayed at Provenza Lofts in Park Lleras instead of mansion. Wanted to do facebook scene. Flight was delayed by half an hour. Landed at 1230 am. My hotel pick up didn't show up. Had to take private taxi as there was no white taxi available at 1 am. Reached hotel at 2 am. Room was very nice.

Met my first girl. Jennifer came over at 230 am. She has very pretty face and most beautiful eyes you can imagine. Pure GFE experience. But she is not slim. She is actually on heavier side, but very curvaceous. I saw her on my last trip also. * so there was an connection and more over she showed up at 230 am. Nobody else would..

You probably have to add a voice package to be able to send and receive text messages. Bring the phone to a mobile store or the reception of your hotel. They will help you.

I just got a local SIM at the mall. Costed 20 K for 2 GB- not sure of carrier, it showed p as Airtel. Not sure if it was 1 week or unlimited time.

Data worked great, did not use voice (No Espaneol), but for some reason the Texting wouldn't work.

Overall it worked out.

We will be in Medellin February, and March of 2019. Let me know if you would like to join! Newbies welcomed.

Thinking about staying there next trip. Anyone with any experience? I usually stay at Energy living but they are booked up the wazoo at least my favorite units are.

Are there casas that are better for this type? (tits and ass!) They don't have to be European model types. To me a pretentious club with skinny barbie girls asking me to buy them champagne is my idea of a nightmare. I'll take a sexy woman with a big smile and a nice rack and ass over that any day!

Can't answer all your questions since it's been a while since I have been in Medellin. As for curvy girls, the high end ones tend to have young, slim girls (mostly). If you go to cheaper places, you'll see more variety. But regardless of your type, you will find them in Colombia!!

The taxis I rode in were all safe and they are not so expensive. Better to take a taxi than Uber or walk. Enjoy and be sure to post a report!!

Sounds as though you should have stayed at the Mansion.
