Medellin Reports

[JustTK]

I am leaning towards Colombia because I prefer skinny women but a (expert) monger friend of mine says to try DR because its cheaper and things are closer together.

Taking covid restrictions into consideration, which country do you recommend with my ideals and budget?

I'm a little leas versed with Colombia. I don't know the chica prices. Is it expensive? Where should I land if I want to go to the beach as well? Are the beach and chicas mutually exclusive? I know in DR they come hand in hand. Hotel? Food? What are the prices for those in Colombia. .

I prefer Santa Marta in Colombia. Its cheaper all round, its got great beaches, plenty of chicas, everything in walking distance, safer. In fact it makes up for lots of the advantages that DR would have over MDE.

I imagine downtown MDE is similar price to Santa Marta, but TBH I know where I would rather spend a holiday. By the beach, or constantly looking over my shoulder and dodging taxis.

How long do you expect your USD 3 k to last?

So my advice to everyone is again.

'Never let your guard down'.

I don't disagree with you at all. I am a potential target like everyone else and I always have my eyes open. But I don't believe I am any more of a target for being a foreigner, that's all. *kisskiss*.

First time in Medellin. Just visited Loutron and holy shit. It's expensive but definitely a must visit at least once. The way they have the line up of girls come out and present themselves is something out of a fucking movie. Every girl either a 8, 9, or 10. It's about double the cost of a standard lay in Poblado and not exactly GFE, but I can finally say I fucked a solid 10. I really don't think it can get much better.

If the girls provided full GFE, I would not look twice at the price. This is my type of mongering. No BS. No wasting time searching for a decent looking girl, or waiting for a girl who shows up 2 hours late. Just solid 10's quite literally fucking spoon fed to you. Wow.

I'll be back during the flower festival, does anyone have any recommendations on things to do during.

I was there 2-3 years ago. Cool event. Go to the botanical gardens and to the flower farm in Santa Elena. Lots of events -street fairs, parades, the classic car parade etc all over town for a week or so. Day and Night. Your hotel front desk or Air BNB host will know where things are happening.

One day, I met up with a Tinder girl at the Botanical Gardens-its right off the Metro, so made it easy to met up, check our vibe, and decide if we wanted to hang out. She was a total babe-better in person than in photos and she could maintain a conversation with me in Spanish. A rare good tinder experience that turned into an all nighter with her sexy 'friend' meeting up with us that evening LOL. Made me like the flower festival.

Centro Comercial Santa Fe and some of the other malls had cool flower displays and flowers all around. Like I said, your hotel front desk people or airbnb host will let you know where / when events related to the festival are happening.

There were an insane amount of people at the classic car parade and at the main flower parade when I was there--like everyone packed into each other crazy tight in the streets everywhere--it was funny and ridiculous how crowded some events were-I don't know how that works or could happen this year--especially with the lack of vaccines in Colombia so far.

I don't know if it changed or the person was in bad mood, but back in April the Premier Plaza didn't allow me in with laminated copy of passport (it never happened before), so since then I was using Zona Rosa.

I have a friend who had the same experience as you and he won't patronize the place. Seems as though maybe in the past a newer staff person might not have been instructed as to what to accept at the time, but I have never had a problem with a photocopy only of my ID. And it seems as though up until recently they didn't even keep a written log of short time guests either. And as your aware, Zona Rosa doesn't even check ID's as long as the Chicas appear to be of legal age, at least that has been my experience there, but I'm a preferred customer as I tip all the help 1,000 Pesos each, and when I check in with one of my skanks, they automatically given me a second towel and bar of soap without asking. LOL.

Some of the ST hotels in El Centro, like the Premium Plaza or Calle Real will not allow you in unless you have an ID and your Chica does which they record in a log. Get a couple of color copies of your Passport and have them laminated to carry with you.

I monger in NYC and have been for a couple of years now. Sorry for my lack of respect points on this website but tbh this isn't my forte'.

Anyways, end of August I plan to travel to Colombia or DR strictly for mongering. I am a young guy, traveling solo most likely, speak Spanish, am Peruvian (so I blend in pretty well at least in Colombia), and going to carry $3000 total.

Anyways, thank you for your help!

As a trade, I can offer monger info on Peru, Lima.

I am not closed minded about it. I try to keep an open mind about things and follow the evidence. "Good advice" should follow the evidence too. I have been here 4 years without ever having a problem in the street, but I would be willing to change my opinion if anyone can show me evidence that foreigners are subject to more street crime than locals. I hear this a lot on social platforms but no one has ever demonstrated it. In fact, the available crime stats show that criminals target Centro and nearby areas, and not Poblado, where rich people and foreigners mostly stay. The opposite of what you allude to. So I just put it down to personal perception of risk until someone can show me otherwise.

Actually you have a better chance of getting robbed in Poblado versus El Centro and Paulie enumerated some of the reasons why foreigners are better targets than locals.

The reality of all of this is, and with you having four years of no incidents, is that you may become complacent, and when you least expect it, boom you get jacked up.

If anything I have learn't about Medellin in particular is, that you can never "let your guard down", as typically you will get jacked up when you least expect it as I'm mentioning again.

There have been countless reports of guys getting jacked on the Medellin thread over the years, myself included.

So my advice to everyone is again.

'Never let your guard down'.

And I'm not just talking about the street, but with the Chicas as well, and that's a whole other topic of it's own.

The antique car parade is pretty cool. Also a trip to Parque del Norte during the flower festival is interesting.

Seor Enternational,

Much truth in what you say, and an entertaining illustration of your point. That said, as a short guy and a gringo, with an anywhere from the Mediterranean type face, when in Medellin every couple of weeks or so I get stopped in the street by a native Paisa who asks me for directions--and then does a double-take when they hear my accent.

Contrary to what many believe, lots of gringos can pass as Colombians when their mouths are shut. Not being tall, looking somewhat Mediterranean, no blond hair / blue eyes, and yes, some can blend in as long as they dress accordingly.

BTW there's middle grounds between fully blending in, which is near impossible for some, and loudly advertising what you are and where you're from. That's where you find common sense and good advice.

Don't matter what you do, you are going to stick out and people will know you are not from there. Wear what you are comfortable in. I am a normal Black guy. Yesterday I was at the beach in Santa Marta. My entire body except for my head and neck was under the water. A 14 year old girl swam up to me and said, "What's up man? What's up bro?" Inside I was dying laughing but I said "Como?" Then she swam off like she was embarrassed.

On the topic of beaches, any recommendations. I might hop to a coastal city since I'm itching for a beach view but none to be had here in Medellin. Is Santa Marta good? I heard Tayrona is where the nice beaches are at so maybe make a few day trips out of that?

[Orgasmico]

Rode my bike through Botero yesterday because it was actually a sunny day and I wanted to ride around town. It has been raining damn near everyday so it was good to get out. Talent was soso. Probably because it was Sunday and early afternoon.

[Surfer500]

Am I going to need a copy of my passport to check into the ST motels in Centro? I normally don't bring my passport out of the safe with me from Poblado. Any tips on picking up girls in Centro? As a 6'3 white guy with blonde hair is there any hiding the fact that I'm a Gringo,. Thus if I show up in my shorts and t shirt will I be causing myself any undue trouble?

Some of the ST hotels in El Centro, like the Premium Plaza or Calle Real will not allow you in unless you have an ID and your Chica does which they record in a log. Get a couple of color copies of your Passport and have them laminated to carry with you.

Unfortunately your going to stick out like a sore thumb in El Centro, so it really doesn't matter what you wear there. Just don't carry anything that your not willing to lose such as a USA smart phone, credit cards, or lots of cash. You won't need much money there anyways.

Your going to get a lot of attention in El Centro with the blond hair and being so tall, so be prepared for some Chicas, at least the ones that bang foreigners to give you the "eye", and a few may even approach you which is not the "norm" for the locals.
