Trip to Porlamar. Nov 27 to Dec 3.
Had been reading this forum and decided I'd like to explore Venezuela. Did a lot of research so kind of knew how to prepare beforehand for money, transfers and a debit card.
My trip was from Nov 27 till Dec 3. (Monday to Sunday). I'm 35, and my Spanish is pretty good and have been to Colombia 3 times, and other Latin places a few times too, so I thought I'd take the next step.
Did a pre-search on tinder and some on Seeking arrangement and matched with a bunch in the Puerto la Cruz and Barcelona area. Also had a few in Isla margarita but not that many. One that did match told me she would help me with her dad's debit card and try and arrange for some cash. It turned out she would be out of town the week I was there so she gave me her sisters number who was also super-hot but I didn't expect to have relations with her (more on that later).
I booked an Airbnb in Porlamar next to La Samanna hotel which is about a 5 min walk from La Vela mall. Cost was about $160 usd and the apartment was in a nice building with a pool, doorman, balcony, 1 bedroom, 2 washrooms, a kitchen, den and DirecTV. After checking out, the Airbnb guy said if I paid in bolivares it would be about 30 $ for the 6 days. Since I had no option of doing that pre-trip I was ok with paying the 160 $. Have his number for next time.
The following is a very detailed report of my time there. Not just about P4P's as I believe this will help others in planning and getting an idea of how things work in Isla margarita, and Venezuela in general.
1ST DAY (Monday).
Reached the airport of Porlamar at about 4 pm and had Airbnb guy send a taxi from there to the airport. He said he would pay the taxi and when I had my debit card I could do transfer. Cost was 100.000,00 bolvares (about $1. 25) at that days exchange rate. Check in was easy and the Airbnb guy left in about 20 min after showing me around.
I was in contact with the tinder girls sister (let's call her Tinder girl) and she said she would reach my apartment at about 5 pm which would give me enough time to shower and change. She arrives and she's a 19 year old hottie. Huge 36 the breasts. She also has a cute friend with her who seemed young but was also 19. No problems with the doorman letting either of them in. She said her dad didn't find the card and she had about 50 k cash with her which is pretty much nothing. She did promise that tomorrow in the morning she'd have her dad's card and we would go get cash. So I said ok that's fine. And said let's go eat something. There was a pizza place (La Romana) nearby so we decided to walk there due to our lack of cash. The other girl said she's leaving her phone at the apartment because she recently got hers stolen. I decided to take the risk and took my Samsung S7 with me. The servers said they don't accept USD at all so they asked some customers if they would take it and pay the pizzeria. One agreed to take 10 $usd and pay 700 k for us. At this day the DolarToday rate was about 85 k so we said that's fine as we had no option. We all ordered a lot of good quality food and drinks, and still had some money left so took some water bottles to go. This is when I first realized 10 $ goes a long way there. After dinner we walked home at about 9 pm which wasn't recommended but it was a 5 min walk and we had no choice. After that the girls decided to head home and the tinder girl would meet me in the morning. Since I had a long travel day (left Bogota at 7 am after a heavy night of drinking) and no cash or debit, I decided to call it an early night.
2ND DAY (Tuesday).
Next day tinder girl reached at 10 am as promised with her dad's debit card (tarjeta) from Banesco. She gave me the online banking PWD as well as the cedula # of her dad. We had to send a pic of the cash to the money changer as he needed proof that we had 100 $ bills. I decided to change $300. The DolarToday rate was 85 k and I got 78 k for the transfer. All in her dad's account. I did for a moment think that she might scam me but I basically didn't have much choice. So we changed the money at a cell phone shop then to another Gold buying place to change 30 $ for cash. The max amount they would give was 150 k in cash (in small bills. See pic#1) and the rest in transfer to the tarjeta. We at least had cash for taxis and the debit card to pay for stuff. The transferencia didn't work the first day as there was a problem with the dad's email but worked the next day onwards without a problem. We then had a great meal with wine and beers in the Centro area for about 200 k. We headed home and then she wished me good luck and headed home too. She gave me a taxi guys number who accepted transferecia and would be available 24 hours a day for me with a half hour notice.
I took a nap and then at about 10 pm headed to Haren with the taxi guy. I told him to come in and hang out with me as well and he did. Lot of cute girls, I would say a lot of 7's and a couple of 8's. I had drinks with a couple girls. They usually ask for a champagne bottle which is about 200 k (the girls get 60 k) so I said ok to whoever was sitting with me for more than a couple min. I was drinking a lot too and got hungry so one of the huge bodyguards said there was street food outside so I went with him. This is on 4 de mayo at about 2 am so wouldn't recommend to doing it alone but I decided to go. Met 2 girls working at another club outside and since I wanted company I offered to pay for their food. Total for 5 hamburgers was really cheap (I think 200 k). The girls themselves were not pretty at all (3-4's at best). One said she could get me bolivares cash in big bills next day so I took her number and said sure. After eating went back to Haren and found a light skinned spinner (Kendra) who was an 8 and decided to take her. I'm pretty sure I overpaid as I was drunk and the bodyguard knew that. Total was 4 million bolivares (50 $). We took a cab home and the sex was awesome. Without much pressure of me asking she did BBBJ as well as bareback sex. She left at about 7 am because she had something to do. Took her number for later and told her to come back when she's free.
3RD DAY (Wednesday).
Woke up at about noon, and walked to the mall for some food, and to get a SIM. It was about 40 k to get a line with about 2 GB, so definitely better than paying for the Roaming that I was. Also booked a massage at a spa there for later in the evening for 150 k. BTW, the mall is almost like any in North America, with big brand names, clean, nice food court etc. Wouldn't think you're in Venezuela while walking around there.
Anyways, headed back, and messaged an agency that I saw on some Anuncia website, and got them to send me a girl after looking at a couple of pics. Cost was 620 k with taxi for 3 hours. Paid by transferencia. The girl was very good looking (pics attached) and gave me BBBJ no prob. I was too tired from the night before so that's all I did, then she massaged me for a while. After that, I took her to a very nice restaurant nearby La Vaquera. We ordered steaks and beer, and she got something to go for home, and the total was probably around 900 k. She then took a cab home for which I paid about 20 k in transferencia since I was pretty much out of cash now.
In the meantime, the tinder girl from the first day messaged me and asked if I wanted to go to bar / lounge this evening. I said sure, and she said she'the come pick me up with the taxi guy at around 11 pm. She comes, and is looking awesome, and we go to a place called Green Martini. Again this is a great bar / lounge and wouldn't think you're in Venezuela while inside here. We dance, drink and eventually make out as well, so I'm feeling pretty good. We leave at like 3 am, and she invites herself to come upstairs and continue drinking, so I said of course. Once upstairs, wasn't a lot of drinking, but make out and then head to the bed to continue further. She was super awesome (some pics attached without her face). Also wasn't too hard to get bareback sex with her.
4TH DAY (Thursday).
Was still with the tinder girl in the morning, so we decided to head to the beach (Playa Parguito). Was about a half hour drive. Stayed there for a few hours and drank, ate, got massages, and probably paid about 1 million bolivares (about 15 $). She got dropped off at her house on her way home, but we made plans to go to another club at night. I go home and take a nap to recover.
She comes picks me up at like 1030 pm, and we are going to Bora Bora its Thursday, and that's ladies night, where all women drink for free! Place was huge and packed by 12, and this was more like a true nightclub. She had a couple of friends with her and I was dancing with all of them (reggaeton grinding kinda dance). I ordered a bottle of vodka and some food, and was about 5-6 of us, 1 other guy and the rest girls. After a while, they said this other place is better, and we should go there. So we take a cab to Loft, which was smaller, but stays open till about 5-6 am. Again got bottles / cokes / red bulls / juices and went to VIP. Left at about 6 am, and my bill was probably 3-4 million (40-50 $) for the both places. At the end, the tinder girl said she had university at 9 am, and had to go home, so I went and slept, which wasn't too bad as I had a big day the next day.
5TH Day (Friday).
Today was the day that my Seeking Arrangement girl was coming from Cumana, about 3 hours or so away in a ferry. She was bringing a friend as she didn't want to travel alone, and I was fine with that. She never brought up money or anything, so I didn't know what to expect. I did pay for her ferry ride, which about 400 k, and also told her to bring some cash. She said she found someone who could give 1 million bolivares in cash for 1. 32 million. I agreed to that, since I had pretty much no cash. She would be here by around 11 pm at night, so I had a full day to myself.
1st, I wanted to get some more money in my account, so I asked the tinder girl if she knew anyone who could accept PayPal and then transfer to the account. She found someone who could give 95 k per dollar (DolarToday rate was about 105 k), so I accepted and sent over 100 $ to get 9.5 million BVF. 2nd, I messaged that girl I met on the street outside of Haren, as she said she could give me 1.35 million BVF cash for $20, and in big bills, so I definitely wanted that. She came over to do the exchange and actually gave me a nice massage too. I didn't want to do anything else with her as I wasn't attracted to her at all.
After getting all this cash situation out of the way, I called the Haren girl again (Kendra). She came by at about 3 pm and looked better than before. We hung out at the pool for a bit, then went back to the apartment. Good DFK, foreplay, and eventually bareback sex again. One of the better sessions I have had. I transferred her 500 k, and she was happy about that. We took a cab, I went to the mall, and she back to her place.
One of the girls at the Bora Bora club, who was with the tinder girl messaged me and asked if I wanted to come to the mall and meet up, since she worked there, and was free till 7 pm. So I said sure, and met up with her and had a nice pizza meal. She was down to meet up later after work, but I told her I that probably wasn't going to be possible.
While waiting for the SA girls to come, I went to another club near my place, 1900. It was also packed, but I was solo and didn't want to hit on any girls that might be taken etc. , so just had a few drinks and then went back. My taxi guy went to pick up the 2 girls from the ferry port, so he gave me a heads-up when they were about 15 min away. The SA girl (24 years old) was very nice and her friend average. She gave me the 1 million in cash as soon as she unpacked. I told them to change, and then headed to Loft again, the same place as the night before. Another night of drinking and dancing, and we head home at about 5 am. The friend sleeps on the couch, and the other with me, and we were pretty drunk but did end up having sex before passing out.
6TH DAY (Saturday).
I was pretty burnt out with late nights and excessive drinking, so wanted to have a relaxed beach day again with these 2. Didn't do much, went to the mall and ate etc. , they were really happy that I was spoiling them, even though it was costing me practically nothing. I did want to get some more money so asked them if they knew of any PayPal transfer guys. (didn't want to ask original tinder girl because she was kinda pissed I was blowing her off). They did say that someone would take cash instead, and I could pay them and they would take it back to Cumana. So got $100 changed for 95 k again (DolarToday rate was still about 105 k). The plan was to go out at night again, but all of us were tired, and just decided to stay home and drink, and chat. Learned a lot about Venezuela in the convo with these 2. One was a doctor, and the other a psychologist, so they were pretty smart.
7TH DAY (Sunday).
Not much happened this day, my flight was at 3 pm, their ferry was at 5 pm. My taxi guy would drop the both of us. Did some shopping for jerseys for me, and got them some Vodka and Cacique and chocolates that made them super happy. I had about 8 million left in my account, so I told the SA girl, I'll give her 4 million, and that made her really happy. The other 4 million I left for the tinder girl, for helping me with her dad's card. I met the tinder girl at the airport to drop of the card and thank her.
So there you go, my trip was awesome. I was expecting it to be way more dangerous than it was (it might still be, and I got lucky with doing what I did). I knew money would be an issue, and it definitely was, but I was able to overcome that. I knew it would be only Spanish there, and it was, don't think I spoke any English in the week I was there.
I do have more contacts now, of people willing to lend me their debit card, taxi guys, girls, bartenders etc. And will definably go again soon, and have a better idea what to expect.
Let me know if anyone has any questions or wants any contact info in Porlamar / Margarita.
