Some quoted me a rate in lira, others I just offered them a rate in lira first. There's nothing comparable to Aquarius at home, but I tried to match what it might be if there was something like that.

You're correct, the tourist operations were quoting in euros, but restaurants in normal neighbourhoods were very inexpensive. The movie Dune was about $2.50 U.S. in the theatre compared to about $16 U.S. to see The French Dispatch in Paris. Also far fewer tourists which was nice for me, not so nice for the people whose livelihood depends on them. As for the guys at Aquarius, I think I was offering over the going rate, but some still wanted more. I felt bad for them because it was very quiet. I think one afternoon I was the only outsider there. Barcelona was particularly disheartening because it looked there were abandoned cafes and other businesses on every block. But it looked like the ones that survived are doing okay.

Was just in Istanbul the first two weeks of December. Lots of he-man type escorts in romeo and rentmen. Did meet up for an hour with an incredibly hot escort. Went back and forth in my head about whether it was crazy to go to Aquarius with omicron taking off, but went twice just at the end. Definitely some attractive guys there. A few male model types who really aren't my thing. Had a great time with a few working class type guys. They're the kind of guys I grew up with and have always been the most attractive for me. Didn't get Covid. I suppose the guys there would have had it already, maybe more than once. It was must be a pretty conducive place for transmission, little rooms, close contact. It was incredibly cheap with the TL collapsing, but guilt inducing because the economic problems are really hard on the working people. Also went to Barcelona, but the Thermas site said foreigners needed a document I didn't have. I had a French covid pass that might have got me in, but I didn't feel like trying to sort something like that out at door. Had a nice time in Paris with an escort and a duo in Madrid. I'm at an age where just some body contact and some light activities are more my thing. All of the escorts I met were good guys and I had a good time with them. Not many tourists around Europe, but the cafes and bars everywhere are busy, especially Paris. It was kind of surreal seeing people packed together, not wearing any masks.

https://co.mileroticos.com/escorts-gay/ I look at the gay escort ads on this site from time to time. It has escorts all over Colombia. Never tried calling one. Language could be a big problem for people who don't speak Spanish.

Some guys seem to like the buff tanned guys without any body hair. I prefer the wiry types with a bit of facial hair who look like they might work in an auto parts store. I'm sort of ashamed to admit I've also been admiring some of the young Taliban fighters I've seen on the news lately.

As Soon As Covid Is Over I'm Visiting Madrid
xpaulo replied to BiBottomBoy's topic in European Men and Destinations
I've been surprised by the number of the times the escort turned out to be hotter than the guy who's photo he used in his ad. -
Oh gosh, I'm sorry, that was ancient history. But I remember it so well, even what he looked like, tall and lean, but hard as concrete. Good luck, I hope you find what you're looking for.

Just curious if anybody ever hooked up with a Bulgarian escort named Boril. He is the most beautiful man I ever met. The last time I saw him was in 2015 in Paris and I'm sure he's not escorting anymore. My hope is he earned enough savings to set himself up in a business or a career. I will say Bulgarian escorts are my favourite, masculine but also easy going. While Sofia is kind of depressing, the people generally are pleasant and seem civic minded.

I had a session with a Romanian guy at the escort sauna in Barcelona. One of the best I've ever had with an escort. Not a nice guy, but as a dominant top he was fantastic.

Expanding My Horizons In Santo Domingo
xpaulo replied to Lonnie's topic in Latin America Men and Destinations
I stayed in a beach town just outside Santo Domingo and took a local bus into town one day. I was struck at how kind the younger men were to the elderly ladies, helping them with their belongings, giving up their seats to them, making sure the driver let them off at their stops. Eventually there was just me and the driver and the conductor on the bus and they started mocking me in Spanish talking about me being gay. How little did they know. I never tried to find a guy for sex. The town I was in had lots of pimps and female sex workers. The desk clerk at the hotel even asked me if I wanted a woman when I checked in. I didn't ask if any guys were available. But there were local guys staying with some of the European women. -

xpaulo replied to floridarob's topic in Gay Thailand
I know a guy who lives there with his Thai wife, and he keeps posting photos of them at beautiful deserted resorts. I'm not a people person so it looks like paradise to me. -
The ratings are pretty good in Canada, I think in part people are just looking for inspirational type stories.

Costa Rica report from a past trip
xpaulo replied to torogen's topic in Latin America Men and Destinations
Many, many, many years ago I visited the Caribbean coast in Costa Rica where the sex tourism was pretty open.... European women taking young local men into the jungle. I was young and didn't even know what sex tourism was. A Canadian in the bungalow next to mine brought a young local to stay with him for a few days and I wondered why. In any case I was too naive and nervous to try to set anything up, but I did enjoy my trip, the people at that time were quite friendly and the tourism industry still relatively rustic. -
Years ago I had a lot of trouble getting an escort into my hotel room in Istanbul, so when I was there in Jan/2020 I got a room a block from Aquarius and went there three nights in a row, there were many young hot,masculine Kurdish men there, although I spent time with the same guy each night. He was incredible. They always ask for more money, but in the end I'm getting an intense, fantastic experience I'd never get at home and it's still less expensive than anything I'd get at home. I've travelled with people whose whole day is ruined by a taxi driver who cheated them out of 50 cents. It's not worth the grief to get upset about that.

Is three a sauna with male escorts in Porto Alegre?
-
There's something about the Venezuelans that adds to their hotness, for sure.
-
Was really hoping to see the new place next winter. Maybe there will be a solution.
-
I've been to Sauna 1097 a few times, it was pretty rundown, but I love the less polished guys.
-
You've probably already heard this many times, but Ouro Preto is beautiful and one of the few preserved colonial towns I saw in Brazil.
-
Has anybody on here ever spent a month or two in Porto Alegre, I was thinking about doing that next winter.
-
I loved the lean working class guys who were at the old Fragata.

Breaking: Bahia the new Amazonas
xpaulo replied to Riobard's topic in Latin America Men and Destinations
I cannot imagine how difficult is it is for people in Brazil right now and I'm so sick of complaints from fellow North Americans about how inconvenient it is to travel to their winter home in Florida right now.
