Medellin

[RA1]

Times change. CB used to stand for Citizen's Band (radio) and a handle I suppose then as now was your nickname when on the air (or, in this case, on line).

Live and learn.

Best regards,

I just got back from a couple of weeks in Medellin and I can't say enough about the quality of boys there. I didn't feel the need to visit any saunas or pay for escorts as Grindr kept me busy for most of my stay. I found lots of young men appreciate the experience of older men and would make the first move to set up a date. If anyone has any questions I would be happy to answer them.

Do you speak Spanish, how easy is it to get by without speaking it?

What did you do for accommodations, how much was it?

[SteveMtl]

I do speak basic Spanish and most people there do not speak english. One of the guys told me that sex is a universal language so no need for long conversations. I rented an apartment close to Parque Lleras for about 60$ a night, very safe and private, it has all the commodities of home. Check online for Poblado Suites. I am from Canada but right now, if you are American, you can take advantage of the high American dollar. Any other questions feel free to ask.

Any experience with these luscious boys?

I tried calling the telephone number listed in the site provided above. A recording comes on in Spanish saying that the phone number does not exist.

Can it be that the site is old and is no longer maintained?

I wonder if there is an agency in Medellin one can contract with similar looking escorts.

Do you have other information in connection with meeting an escort in Medellin?

Thanks in advance.

Even though Backpage in the U.S. is a piece of garbage, perhaps, in Medellin it is okay.

I looked at Backpage for Medellin and found this:

http://medellin.backpage.com/MaleEscorts/male-escorts-vip-in-medellin-charming-boys-just-with-our-safe-service/3069636

The photos on the page at the above linked site are mostly the same photos found in post number 55 (above).

On the Backpage ad, there is a link on the ad and it takes you to the same site provided in post number 55.

The strange thing is the telephone number that is shown in the link answers in Spanish and continues to say that the number does not exist.

The fact that the Backpage ad is active and current (as of July 27) and it links to the site provided in post #55, maybe the telephone system in Medellin is down at the present time. This might be why I cannot reach anyone at the site.

I also sent an e-mail that has not yet been answered.

I will try again and will post an update for those interested.

The link to the general Backpage for Medellin is:

BOGUS CON JOB?

Above, I posted some links to the same ad that is posted on Backpage and was included in post #55.

Above, I also posted a link to Backpage.

I was extremely impressed by the photos that appeared in the agency escort ad cited in post #55 and in #57 above.

After I posted the Backpage link, I decided to go through the other non agency ads at Backpage. Either the Backpage ads had no photos or the photos in the ads were not of people who even remotely resembled the handsome "escorts" shown in the escort agency link at post #55 and in my link in post #57.

It is often said that when something seems to good to be true, it probably is too good to be true. In that regard, comparing the non existent photos in the Medellin Backpage ads and the other ads that showed ordinary or unattractive escorts, to the photos on the escort agency ad, it appears to me that the agency listed at http://www.escortsbu...n-medellin.html is probably bogus.

All the models shown on the agency escort site are extremely handsome while all other escorts advertising on their own, look no where near as handsome as the models shown at the escort agency site.

A professional photographer can do wonders but could not create anything similar to what appears on the escort agency site. Those models were carefully selected to entice. I doubt that those models are available.

I could be wrong in my assumptions, but, I will not rely on that escort agency.

While I am Medellin next week, I will use the knowledge I gained from reading various posts and other material concerning Medellin.

I am usually lucky in my travels and I expect to have a good time even though I do not plan to use that escort agency site as a source of meeting any escorts.

While I am in Medellin, I might try again to reach that agency just to see if they are legit and really have the quality of escorts advertised on their site.

In summary, the escort site shows photos of only the "cream of the crop" in the escort department. The ad seems disingenuous to me.

I will report back here after I see,first hand, what is available in Medellin.

I did not meet any escorts during my time in Medellin because there were plenty of guys willing to meet for free. I do know of an escort site similar to backpage which has a large selection of boys. http://co.mileroticos.com/escorts-gay/antioquia/medellin/

OMG, David Riesen and Paul Luchero are breathtakingly hot boys! I've heard that Medellin is getting dangerous again.

[SteveMtl]

I've been going there twice a year for the last three years without incident and, if anything, I find it has gotten safer. Like any big city there are areas that have a higher crime rate than others.

Thanks for your input. Perhaps I'll go in Enero.

[SteveMtl]

I will be there in January also.

[Guest colina77]

I am tentatively planning on February for a month. I want to stay at the Affinity Apt Hotel which was recommended to me by a Colombian friend. I have already taken one short course in Spanish and I will take another longer one from September to November. As I said before, without a working knowledge of Spanish, it would be very difficult to get together with guys in Medellin since nobody seems to know any english.

[Guest colina77]

But SteveMTL, I agree with you on the Grindr issue, I had numerous contacts and most of them specified that they wanted to meet mature men. It seems to be quite easy to get flights on the frequent flyer programs and Avianca is a great airline and is associated with the Star Alliance frequent flyer program. I am going to avoid going through Mexico City and Bogota next time. Neither one of those airports was easy to go through.

American Airlines has a non stop from Miami to Medellin -

The flight arrives a little after noon.

When you leave Medellin, you return, again non stop, to Miami in the early afternoon.

[firecat691614502759]

Miami is a circus airport. Much rather fly out of Ft Lauderdale non stop on Avianca for $426.

[SteveMtl]

Try Copa airlines, I found a flight through Panama for $500 Canadian. That's less than $400 American LOL

[firecat691614502759]

Not me if non stop is available for a few $ more.. FLL easy airport to navigate , customs easy etc. Any time you have stop overs the chance of missing a connection or checked baggage lost etc.

Steve the escort site (individual escort postings) you posted about looks very interesting and legitimate. Love to hear from anyone that has used it. http://co.milerotico...oquia/medellin/

I too have found the boys in Bogota and Medellin fun to be with even with the language barrier.

[boiworship]

Amazing escort site.

[RA1]

I agree that MIA is a circus and FLL is superior in many ways. However, I find it interesting that various among us either prefer or are willing to believe that carriers other than US carriers are OK or even superior. Price is NOT that determinate. Regardless I welcome their comments about various aspects of the flights and carriers they use.

I certainly agree that no carrier is perfect. Here I mean safety. But, I have been scared more than once while riding on foreign carriers and that includes SwissAir, Air Caledonia and a few others. Did I mention Ansett? If you arrive alive, it must have been an OK flight.

Best regards,

[MsGuy]

If you arrive alive, it must have been an OK flight.

Personally I rate any flight where I suffer 2 or more major bones broken &/or 3rd degree burns over more than 15% of my body as less than OK.

Clearly you are made of sterner stuff, RA1.

[AdamSmith]

[RA1]

I consider any aircraft that does not arrive intact to not OK. I have always assumed that if I (the pilot) and the aircraft arrive without damage, everyone on board will be reasonably happy.

Have to admit I have not flown any of the South American Airlines. However I have flown a number of Asian Carriers etc and find all of them far superior to all USA carriers.

But that is not saying much!!!
