Trainers and gym while traveling (Colombia, MX and Brasil)
Hi guys, I prefer working out with trainers, even when traveling. Anyone have recommendations on how to find gay trainers while traveling, particularly in Colombia, Mexico and Brasil? Would not mind a train (and more) situation. 🤑 I typically do a drop in at a CrossFit gym and find one that way, but they are never gay and the “and more” is def not on the table. Note: I do want the guy to be an actual fitness trainer tho, not just someone with a good body.

Medellin
Avoid those places if you want to regularly have guests. If you stay right in Parque Lleras o Parque Poblano you’re going to have issue with doormen cracking down on sex tourism. If you stay a bit outside it gets a bit better. But I’d recommend asking up front if you can have friends over and what are the rules. Even outside of Lleras area, You’ll def have to have guests show ids at nearly all places but this isn’t really an issue with guys in Medellin — everyone is used to it. DM me and I can help a bit. Also Macdaddi knows a lot about Medellin.

Moving to Florida
Pay no mind to @Slvkguyhe speaks so negatively about Miami, and generalizes about all Miami men — and as a Miami Beach guy, I can say his version of Miami is not what I experience, living here. Miami scene is way more than the beach. You have Wynwood which is always slammed and a lot of fun. Little Havana, Little River and Brickell have cool bars and lots of pop up warehouse parties. Not to knock FTL, but it doesn’t have the vibe or the swag of Miami hot spots. Hit up any bar in Wynwood or head to Space, 11, Palace, the basement at the Edition, Blackbird Ordinary, the Wood, Swan, Soho House, Deuces, or Nandos and Komodo after hours.... or this weekends pop-up cocktail lounge promoted by a celeb or promoter... @Slvkguyis right that FTL is traditional gay, it’s a scene is focused on oddly lit gay bars in strip malls, playing gay pop anthems mixed with club dance DJ sets, the kind of place that always need a good cleaning and the kind of place we’ve already spent so much of our lives in... guys in muscle tees or sparkly tank tops, cargo shorts and flip flops. Miami’s scene is mixed, restaurants turned to night clubs after hours, gays and straights dancing together, hanging together, cruising and flirting together... it’s vibier, way sexier and I think a lot more fun. and no, all Miami gays don’t go to FTL for the weekend. You go up maybe once every 5 or 6 weeks, when a friend wants to hit the bear bar in FTL (there isn’t a good one in Miami) or a friend just got dumped and wants boys night — outside of Miami. Nobody in Miami hates the gay scene in Miami. If we did we’d move, FTL is a lot cheaper and only 30 mins away. Gays who live in Miami think it’s head and shoulders above FTL. It’s just a very different scene — and just cuz SlvkGuy doesn’t like it doesn’t mean the rest of the rest of the gay world feels the same. Most of my friends from other places in US all hit up Miami, not FTL...

First Thing You'll Do When You Are Free
Do folks feel ok traveling if they (a) have the vaccine and (b) continue to wear masks when in public? And more specifically to places in South America. That aren’t vaccinating as quickly as in the US?
