WOW Vinapu; I salute u! Such a cmprhnsv infrmtv detailed response, and above all - welcoming!! There is at least one forum on this website, where the response from more than one mmbr wld b something like - "hey newbie, go do ur research"... Kudos!!!

If I rmmbr / undrstnd correctly, $155 per night is about 50% higher than the usual rate for top hotels. Am I mistaken? From which hotels is this space ship taking the crown?

Prices? Won't they be interested in horny farangs too? Hosting policy?

Only at checkout from Du Park hotel, I saw a note at the reception: hosting a guest in the room costs 130,000.

Thx, but kodos to them. I just got lucky; maybe my patient correspondence contributed...... (-:

...that's not already in Macdaddi's detailed posts:

I am, of course, paying all shared expenses while we are together: hotel, food, transportation, entries. However, he neither asked for - nor hinted at - money and gifts. In fact, at our first meeting he brought me a gift, and insisted on paying the bar bill. As mentioned in my first pre-trip report, this is my second such rare stroke of luck. 6 years ago I met in an identical manner a young professional in Barranquilla. We have since travelled together three times, with him paying some of his own expenses. There ARE exceptions out there. I dont think many here are used to hooking up with a chico who can discuss the situation in Sri Lanka, or who knows that the Jewish temple in Jrslm was destroyed twice. Apparently a minority is interested more in personal companionship with a gringo who seems nice and interesting (author excluded) than in benefits.

Hi Guys, Per my pre-trip report, M - who reached out to my in-advance profile on GayRomeo - turned out to be at least as good as hoped for. Since he is non-commercial-sex boyfriend material, I wont be sharing anything sexual about him. He is 29; exactly my type; and a great conversationalist with amazing general knowledge. Unfortunately (for me), he started on a new job on Friday, so our time together is limited to his off-hours. However, beyond sexcapades, there are some points that might interest members here. 1 - Ferecho: On my first morning here, before meeting M, I wanted to try out Ferecho. [The proccess has already been detailed in previous threads.] I sent a whatsapp msg, and recieved circa 100 fotos (and a few vids). 85% were clothed and therefore of no interest. I asked for the faces of the nudes that I liked; the guy at the other end matched a few of the clothed with some nudes; and I narrowed it down to 2 options. He quoted 150 - to which I agreed, but after a couple of minutes disappointed me by msging that both were not responding. My and their loss. I m a bit surprised that the guy exhibited no marketing motivation, no solicitation, no follow-up. Either incompetence or business doing great..... 2 - hotel cedulla process: During the first four days I stayed at the Gallery hotel in the Centro. All my hotel reservations were double, and M just went thru the process. For my first night at Du Park hotel in Poblado, I was joined by another chico - J (more on him later). I noticed that the receptionist not only zeroxed his ID, but also added his fingerprint (havent read here about this requirement). The next day, when M returned to my embraces, he wasnt asked for the fingerprint. It might mean nothing, or the explanation might be the difference in their appearance. J wore torn jeans and half buttoned shirt; M - his (rather elegant) hotel job uniform... 3 - J - my plan B: A member here published a thread a couple of months ago, detailing his good experience with a for-pay all exclusive 24/7 companion. I PMed him, asking for matchmaking; he vetted me; asked and received J's permission; and sent me his number. I mention this, because of a rather heated discussion in the forum about not sharing info in order to avoid harrasment of chicos by trolls. I expressed the opposite view, and m glad to offer this experience as defense exhibit #1. I call on all of you NOT to totally 'outlaw' matchmaking. PS - I m not mentioning the member's identity here, bcs I havent pre-discussed this post with him. 4 - hotels: Du Park hotel is recommended. As mentioned above, given my double rsrvation - no prblm bringing in dfrnt chicos. [At my request, they gave M a second key.] Dont know what wld have happened if it was a single rsrvation; they might have demanded payment. As mentioned above, no prblm at Gallery hotel either. However, for non-sex reasons, I m not rcmnding it wholeheartedly. Pros: in the Centro area, for those wishing to better know the area, and to be close to Ferecho and other sex venues; VERY cheap - $24 per night; immaculately clean. Cons - an accumulation of issues in a 3 stars hotel: even the quiet rooms get early car noise; minimal brkfst; room - no chairs, little place to put stuff, the sink in the rom itself constructed to splatter the floor; tiny shower - no space for dual showering. That's it for hopefully-useful info. Adding a pic of eye-candy, and two more by way of explanation. These guys perform acrobatics at traffic light, hoping that waiting drivers wld pay. They hardly ever do. I talked with the group and with the solo: 5 hours a day earns them 40,000 = $9. The solo told me it pays his living. Almost all r from Venezuela, and surprised me by saying they dont feel local hostility.

I second the motion: this list MUST be pinned!

Macdaddi, do u know if they were murdered in hotels? If not, it strengths the case for the cedulla-at-reception process. If it did happen in hotels.....

Hi Guys, I'll arrive tmrw night in Medellin, for two weeks. In due course will report here about the touristic aspects. As for sex, if things go as planned - I might have very little to share. Per my report three weeks ago, I'm in a rather intense communication with a guy (henceforth M) who saw my Travel profile in GRomeo. M seems boyfriend material; very able to hold a cnvrsation; excited about hanging out with me; and has neither mentioned money nor hinted at it. I'm well aware that this could all b a show, but hey - at least I know he prbbly doesn't have any crmnl intentions; he emailed me the CV he's now sending out in search for a job. There r good reasons why I'm sure it's not fake. Anyway, if we hit it off, there'll b VERY little sex and tell... Plan B is a per-pay 'guide plus', introduced to me by one of the mmbrs here. He isn't very engaging, but he will certainly do. And then of course there'll be all the guys on the apps. Already established whatsapp cntct with Ferchos and Sillon Rojo; have hotel rsrvations in Centro, Poblado, Laureles; and the updated detailed prgrm for the flower festival is out. Medellin, here I come! Thank u all for the infobase here, and for answering or tolerating my too many questions. If anyone is Medellin and wants to meet up, I'll b happy to buy the first drink. Safe and happy travels and huntings.

The destination of my first (of 4) trip to Colombia was the carnival in Brnqlla. Not that Mcdaddi needs support from me, but I too rcmnd visiting there (in February of course). I wld also add to the list - Cano Crystales, a unique phenomena of multi-colored river water. However, no hot guys there.

Olddaddy, Chitchats like "where u come from?" R good for a couple of mnts b4 or after sex. My question referred to spending hours with them, for example at a beach.

Sorry for the digressing question: When you fortunate and generous guys take these lads for a good time, which obviously includes much verbal interaction; Do u speak Thai? Do they speak English? Or all use ggl-trnslt? I also wld like to transcend the sex time, but I really dont like ggl conversations.....

Venessey, What did u mean when u wrote "fuck u in the bar"? Is there actual "all the way" fucking going on in public btw clients and MBs?

.....and can update? optimal visiting times (days, hours) etiquette tips are themes strictly enforced

I took the liberty of putting together these tips, offered seperately by three forum members. Under this new title , newbies might find them better. Apologies if I trespassed. Latbear4blk: · Pack light. I made the mistake to plan for a week wearing two layers (underwear t-shirt and shirt), but it is just too hot for that. No top underwear is needed. Short pants are fine. I had read that the locals are not fond of casual, comfy clothing, but it is not true. Like Buenos Aires, this is probably changing. Casual wear is appropriate everywhere I went to. Temperature is very pleasant between 5pm and 11 am. Between 11 am and 5 pm, it was unpleasant to me. · About rain, it was forecasted every single day I was here. However, it did not rain every day and when it rained it was just for as few minutes. Raining was not an obstacle for my plans, bur rather a very much welcomed refreshing event. · Look for open, shady spaces. Even in the hottest hours (the issue is not really temperature but humidity) there is almost always a very nice and refreshing breeze. · Be aware that if you are a foreigner, you are a target. Not necessarily of a crime, but many people will try to take advantage from you. If you are wealthy and your bank account is generous, you should not worry. Even the over prices are pretty affordable. I am probably the poorest contributor in these forums, and I found everything cheap. The most noticeable over price I suffered were the apanados. I paid 10K for each, when they cost 3.5 to 4K. Yet, when I saw what I got for 60K (16 bucks), I could not refrain a smile of happiness. The guy scamming mr noticed it and laugh with me. Max Avila told me that his current boyfriend lived in Medellin for two years without realizing he was paying twice the local prices. When they started dating, he learned about it. · There are huge differences on pricing in different areas. El Poblado’s prices were considerable high than Laureles’. Even inside Laureles, you can notice the difference between the most gentrified areas around both Parque Laureles, and the least gentrified area around Avda San Juan (Calle 44) and La Setenta (Carrera 70). · Bisexual friends, women are available for 60K, and straight prostitution is much more extended. · There seem to be two “classic” gay concentrations. You have fancy bars and one discoteca at El Poblado, and you have a few bars and sex clubs in Centro (I have not yet explore the latter). Then you have a more contemporaneous and mixed gay places in Laureles, with a flagship in the dance club Industry. I have not been there, and will probably not be, considering my ears are still bussing after Club Oraculo. · They will probably ask you, but make sure you provide the name of your building when you schedule a delivery or a guy. Something is wrong with the city’s nomenclatura, the boys tell me, and you may be sending someone to the wrong place. · None of the guys I hang out with knew how to speak in English. There are guys who know, but I am sure it is a commodity that comes with a price. · Older, hairy, overweighted men, the typical bear type, is a popular fetiche amongst young and hot men. I got a lot of sex for free, I mean very good sex with mostly very hot guys, but all above average guys, all younger than 25, without paying a dime. Even the boys that hang out with me for long hours and even stayed overnight, only expected me to pay all the bills while together. Indeed, it is transactional. However, my one grindr hook up, a fuck and leave, was zero transactional. The boy was a hot webcam boy, and he liked me. He kept contacting me at 2 am, when I was sleeping or out. · Try to bond or deal with at least one guy you trust, and stick with him. He will play the role of the “espantamoros” i Morocco, and help you with good tips and recommendations, keeping you safe and from over paying. My boys did an amazing job at protecting and taking care of me. The Costeño has already checked me three times today, and there is nothing he can get from it. · If you happen to be with two boys, and they are not clicking, ask them for their favorite songs. Immediately, they will start singing together, and bonding, and the ice will be broken. · Respectfully, I think the reports about insecurity are overblown. Like in any big city, you should not walk alone at night. Comuna 13 is 100% safe. Centro insecurity at night is true. The killings targeting lonely gay guys are just a temporary issue, and the whole community is working hard to get the killers. Paisas are learning that tourism is a source of endless money, and are really focus on making their city more welcoming and safe for foreigners. · If you are looking for an airbnb, anything in El Poblado, Laureles, Provenza, and the South is safe. Make sure you rent above the 5th floor, as you will have more breeze. Try to rent above 10th and with a balcony or terrace. You will have a better view (the valley is beautiful specially at night), and you will be sure there is a working elevator. I have seen 6th floors buildings without an elevator. · Street food is delicious and very cheap. Just avoid beef, usually the cuts are very poor quality, hard to chew and even cut. Chicken, beef in small pieces, and (I guess, because I do not eat it) fish are good. · Uber sucks. Download an alternative application. I will download again Didi for the next trip, I am told it works better. joizy: 1. It may have been said elsewhere, but I'd like to emphasize that you should speak some Spanish. I found very few people who spoke English. Definitely learn the basics and keep trying to communicate in Spanish - translator apps work well and people will appreciate the effort on your part. 2. If your cellphone plan doesn't allow an option for international use - look at Airalo e-sim card. It's an electronic sim. You can download the app before you leave, purchase your sim and have it ready to go when you land. I found out about this when the sim I had installed on an old phone stopped working. Wish I'd known before I left home. 3. Look for a card that allows cash withdrawals without fees. I have a Charles Schwab investor "checking" account. I transfer money into this account and use it for travel. Best exchange rates and ATM fees are reimbursed. 4. Use Rappi - it's a delivery service that will deliver anything - food, medicine, whatever you want. 5. Approach Grindr with caution. Too many guys that seemed too good to be true. Ask for verification photos if you're not convinced. Some words that indicate a financial exchange - liga, disponible, solvente. 6. Use Uber instead of taxis if you can. They are unauthorized, so you sit in the front seat - just a "friend giving you a ride". You can plug in your destination and you know the fare. Their goal is to get you to your destination in the most efficient way, whereas taxis might take the scenic route if they figure out you're not from there. With all cars, close the doors gently. They are surprisingly light. If you use the same force you use at home, it will slam. Taxi drivers are especially unhappy when this happens. 7. Be careful at ATMs - I used the ATM inside of a supermarket. Don't flash your cash. 8. Beware of people slipping you drugs. I didn't read about this happening to gay men (though there were a few gay murders that I think are still unsolved), but I read on numerous forums about straight guys being drugged by women and ending up in the ER - of course with their valuables gone. While I had ZERO problems there, the hotness and availability of the men might lower your normal sense of caution. 9. Look for a local to show you around and help with your Spanish. I paid a guy to be my tour guide. He threw in some extras. I had the best experiences with him. Met him on Grindr. 10. Have fun. Medellin is a beautiful city and the people are lovely. Keep your wits about you, show some cultural sensitivity, and you'll have a great time. Macdaddi: #6 - Absolutely the #1 taxi issue with foreigners is slamming the car door. I like to remind new visitors to Medellin of the rules: its ColOmbia, not ColUmbia; always acknowledge others with food by saying "Buen provecho"'; learn to use "Buenos días", "buenas tardes", y "buenas noches" at the appropriate time of day; never slam the car door when exiting; and you certainly do NOT talk about Bruno.

I havent delved into that website yet, but I really dont undrstnd this whole Putin discussion. Readers are interested in sex, administrative-logistical matters, tourism, and maybe - what's going on in Thailand. Who cares what anyone thinks about Putin?!

No And not gay. )-:

Sorry Forgot to mention: private lessons, 1 on 1, according to your own priorities and progress.

I highly rcmnd Dualingo; thats how I learned and m still learning Spanish. Scott, Iattended a school in Cartagena for two weeks. One of the teachers there was good and nice, so m now taking zoom lessons with him - $15 per hour. Works GREAT.

I apologize if my (too?) many quesitons are annoying anyone; if so, I'm rather afraid this one might be the last straw. There are 4360 Medellin escorts registered. Despite my intermediary Spanish, I didn't find any filters to narrow the search. Is that bcs there's no such function, or bcs I'm technologically-challenged? If the former, assuming some of you guys availed yourselves of the website's seervice, how did you sift through?

I just peeked; looks similar, maybe more extensive. Since I don't surf these forums as a hobby but for practical reasons, I prefer not to double read. That's why I'm asking if there's any reason to prefer one over the other.....
