Thanks for the wonderful report. Any advises on hiring online? Seems like more and more people going that route. I don't speak Portuguese, so kind of hesitant.

Thanks. How's your experience with garotolocal? Most posts here advise against hiring online.

@floridarob for real? Your personal experience? I thought you go to bed early based on your previous posts. I normally get out before 10p. Fully understand the high crime rate in Brazil. Thank you Rob.

Thanks to everyone who offered their personal experience. I'm definitely encouraged. Has anyone heard or experienced anything unpleasant?

Hello fellow travelers, I'm planning a month or two vacation in both Rio and Sao Paulo. Not my first trip, but this time I'm thinking about getting an Airbnb within a block of Point 202 and Lagoa so I can get in and out whenever in the mood. Stayed in the neighborhood before, so I'm aware its generally safe during the day walking around. Always took Uber at night before. Wanted to check whether anybody had any experience walking at night around the saunas for less than 5 minutes. Is it safe enough for a few minutes trek at night? Appreciate any insights. Thanks in advance.

Does anyone have any advice on the latest strip club status? Went to BB Show Bar a few years ago, and loved it. Anything similar now? Thanks in advance for your help.

Are the dancers available? When I was there, most guys I saw were not like that.

I was in San Jose briefly. I felt pretty safe, and I don't speak Spanish. The taxi I took from the airport was safe.

That's a good piece of information to know before Christmas is buyers market. But why is it high season right after? Thanks

Which months are the slow travel season for good airfare deals based on your experience? Flying out of DFW seems always double that from Miami. Thanks

Couldn't believe someone else is doing the same. I love documenting expenses/encounters. It is so much fun doing it. Tartegofo, Thank you so much for your detailed travel blog, and your responses to all the comments. I enjoy every bit of it and find them informative.

Looks like even the classic version is pointing to their beta version now for the escort section. Can't figure out how to search escorts at my travel destinations beforehand now.

Do you mind giving out a bit more detail on how the Instagram works in Russian escort and what agencies are reputable. Thanks

Their website is accessible, and they have 5 guys listed there. http://ferchomasajes.com.co

Could you kindly share your experience? Planning a trip there in March. Thank you.

When I went there in May, most guys are not that attractive. Guess the good ones have gone overseas to Europe or other places with much higher pay.

Went to Action bar Satuday, Jul 9th. Got there around 12, and there were around 20 guys. Didn't see any visible rent boys. Couple of guys hanging around near the dark room, and few others chatting at the bar. Pretty relaxed. Striping started around 1am. Pretty sensual and sexy with full hard on. The guy danced for like 10 minutes. Didn't see anyone tipping or touching the stripper. Thought maybe oral academy would be later. Then the stripper went to change room and left. Waited for 30 minutes and nothing is happening. So I went and checked with the bartender, and he said oral academy is Friday only now. What! I came here just for that! So think people may need to know this change. Left around 2am. Judging by the crowd, maybe it doesn't make sense profit wise?

Went to club 17 on a Thursday night. There were 3 rent boys when I left around 12:30. Probably more as night life start really late. A lot of scammer around Takshim square area while I walked around, approaching me asking for lighter for their cigarette then small conversation etc, so I personally don't feel safe to bring anyone home. To me, Istanbul is a nice city for sightseeing, not a destination for boys.

Axiom one does speak decent English, one doesn't. I didn't spend enough time to recommend any.

The new android phones let me remotely lock and erase the content with factory reset, and whoever has it will need my user name and password to use it. But I bet very skilled hacker can break and reflash it. At least they won't see my compromised photos and accidentally leak them.

Landed in Havana airport late Friday afternoon. Immigration, customs and currency exchanges took about 2 hours. I didn't notice any restrooms throughout the processing areas, or they are not obvious, so plan ahead if bathroom usage right after landing is the plan. It Cost me 80 CUC to buy the travel card at the airport. The lady said the price was raised starting March 1. it's still less than 20 USD from airlines. The apartment I rented at Vedado looked like it needed some maintenance, but clean, and the host is nice. It had toilet paper, soap, hot water, 2 huge bottles of water in the fridge for me, window air conditioner in the bedroom, a balcony from the living room with a view of the bay. The first guy I contacted from Planetromeo arrived on time, looked exactly like his picture except that he is shorter, and kind of out of shape when he took off his clothes. He was very nice. We went out and bought a wifi card for 3 CUC for an hour, and enjoyed some tasteless pizza. He was also very accommodating in bed. Had a good time. After everything was well and done, I volunteered to offer him taxi fare back home. He seemed happy with the 20 CUC I gave. I have no doubt he would stay overnight if I had asked. He is really nice, never asked for anything. After saying goodbye, I was truly tired after a long day of flight, so didn't venture out. The second guy from Planetromeo didn't show up Saturday late morning as planned, so I visited a few landmarks in old Havana in the afternoon by myself. So many tourists everywhere in old Havana. Quite a few constructions here and there. Old cars were abundant and billowing out black smoke, but also a lot of more modern European and Asian cars. Dining in the tourist area is comparable to US. 10 to 25 CUC. 5 dollar seemed to be the norm for taxi from Vedado to Old Town which is less than 2 miles. Didn't see any boys during the day, maybe too hot, or resting from night activities. Hustlers were abundant, trying to sell all other stuff. Went back to my apartment in Vedado early evening for the third guy I contacted from Planetromeo. He showed up on time. Looked like his pictures. Very cute with a slender built. Instead of getting to business first, he said he was hungry and wanted to eat something. I said sure. Then he asked whether he could bring his friend. Sure. His friend is skinny and effeminate, not my type. Bummer. He guided me to a restaurant named Toko if I remembered it right, right next to Las Vegas, and it had decent food. During the dinner, I noticed a good looking hunk trying to get my attention. Well built, which is not common compared with most local guys. I tried not to reciprocate as I had a cute guy next to me, so he disappeared from my view eventually. After the dinner, my Planetromeo guy asked whether I could buy him and his friend a pack of cigarette, sure. Thinking that's probably it, and we should go back to my apartment doing our business, well no, he proposed to go to a night club with his friend. Hmm, now I feel like a walking ATM. I wouldn't mind going clubbing if we had the business first. Who knows what else he would propose after the night club? So I decided to cut him loose. I already had people doing all the tricks throughout the day when I was out earlier, I was really tired of this. Now without anyone scheduled, I walked out from my apartment to Avenue 23. Realized my apartment was right in the middle between Bim Bom and Las Vegas Club. How convenient. So walked to Las Vegas first, at around 10:30, there were a few guys outside the club. Peeked into the club and it's empty. Walked down to Bim Bom and a bigger crowd, younger and queenier, so I walked back. There, a tall, handsome, gym built hunk, was standing outside the Toko restaurant in the shadow of a tree, posing and smiling at me. It's a score 10. He doesn't speak a word of English, so I had to use my translation app. Ok, he wanted to go into the club, I wasn't sure what would come out of this, but guess let's wait and see whether he would go home with me afterwards. The doorman at the club didn't have changes for my 20, and I didn't understand what he was saying, and he just walked away after seated us, guess I lost the changes. The tall hunk was actually eager to make some bucks once we ordered drinks and started the conversation. He proposed 50, I thought that was much higher than What I heard for not staying overnight, so we negotiated it down to 30, no overnight, and left the club after 10 minutes of getting in. It was slightly after 11, the club was still pretty empty. Maybe the 3 CUC cover prevented a lot of local guys from coming in? Had fun, he maybe be completely straight, couldn't get up during the whole process, but I didn't care at all. His hole is tight, but had seen dicks. Still enjoyed it overall. Wanted to check out the scene after the tall hunk left, so I went out again. A large crowd, I'd say, 150/200 maybe, gathered outside Bim Bom at around 1am. Strangely, didn't see many dirty old men, only a few dotted the hundreds of young crowd. Guess things would change quickly after Americans could come easily. Walked up avenue 23 towards Yara threater, and saw the first club right after Lucky Strike, a local lotto place I assume. I was pretty sure it's a straight club with the ladies around. Curiously, I sat down on the fence and tried to take a peak at the inside of the club. A masculine voice interrupted me the moment I sat down, turned around, a beautiful young face brightened my eyes. His facial feature is quite uncommon for Cuban, kind of like young Collin Ferrell, with thick beautiful eyelash and kissable full lips. With his broken English hard to understand, I intentionally put my hand around his waist, pretending listening attentively. He wanted to recommend some girls to me. You look attractive, I replied using my app, and he chuckled, apparently not his first time getting compliments, then he smiled back at me. I guess that's the sign for me to make an offer. So I offered him to accompany me the next day for 30 CUC to tour the city. I didn't want to scare him away with sex offer directly, he looked so innocent, so young and so straight. He said sure, and looked happy too. To my surprise, he asked whether he could stay with me tonight as he lived far to come on time tomorrow morning. Sure, why not. Started to think he had some experience with men. He said he was a sophomore at the university, I believed him based on his youthful look and demeanor. He told me he fucked 3 other guys altegther once we got to my apartment. His hole was off limit, still, I had fun. Woke up Sunday morning, we went out grabbed some buffet breakfast, and toured a few places Iinside the city which I didn't go on Saturday . Nice time, so far, the weekend had been a blast. He really liked my phone, and kept playing with it when I wasn't playing him, very curious about all the features. So I watched this innocent young kid enjoying the phone with fatherly love while he was exploring the phone. Not sure where we were in the city after visited a few places, it was a relatively quite, cobble stoneed narrow street with twist and turns. suddenly, he just ran away when I looked away. Before I could think, he disappeared around the block. Whoops, he had my phone and some extra cash he said he would use to pay for food and taxi because he would get it at better price. Damn, Guess I fell for another scam. Totally let my guard down by his innocent youthful look. Cuba is safe, but scams abundant. I guess, in this business, caution should always be exercised, regardless how safe it may feel. The phone is password and fingerprint protected, so not sure how useful it'll be to him without any professional help. guess it was too much a temptation, and he had to have it. It bothered me a bit as I had to figure out where I was since I really wasn't paying much attention to the surroundings while he was guiding me. Now without the app to help me ask directions, I headed to the direction where I could see the tip of the dome which I knew was the Capitol building. After getting back to the apartment, a nap is a must to sooth the small incident. Didn't think I was a gullible person until now. Now had to use another phone which couldn't get wifi in the apartment. So I had to walk out to get connected after the nap and some snacks. A English speaking hustler was quite persistent this time while I was checking my emails. I wasn't interested as he was not my type, so I just said no to all his offerings from cigar, rum, girls and himself. Finally, he said, I could get any men you want here in Havana. Really? Any men? Eyebrow raised. He nodded with absolute confidence. I stood up, looked around, but I didn't see anyone around me attractive. Most people around me were older regular folks happened to be there using wifi. Hmm. Maybe he does have high success rate to get the majority of the men tourists asked for. Maybe next time it's worth a try to use a hustler and get some straight asses? Since its my last night here and an early flight the next day, I thanked him and walked away. Sunday night was slower at both Bim Bom and Las Vegas, there were a few attractive guys, but were either snatched away or went back home when I went back for them after finishing the survey of the stock. Most men have to work Monday I assume. Based on my quick weekend experience, the boys situation in Cuba is unique. I was only able to go to a couple of places, and couldn't find the posting of other parties people talked about. Looks like the streets around Avenue 23 can produce some unexpected good results if one digs straight/bi guys. I haven't tried, but feels like one may have a high chance of getting amateur attractive straight guys if one shamelessly and boldly proposes off the street discreetly, but be aware of scams. It's safe but poor.

Does anyone have any experience at Ukraine? I'm going in 2 months. Looks like Planetromeo has quite a few hotties there, but not sure they are real or a trap to be robbed/extorted. Any information would be appreciated.

Hey Tassojunior So how's your trip to St Petersburg? Was it easy to have fun? Can you share some of your trip experience? Thanks

Hello Handlebreak I'm going to Cuba at end of May via Mexico City, and will stay there overnight for one night. Do you have any recommendations on non -online places such as stripper or escort bar/sauna, etc? I like masculine European looking bottom, built to slightly stocky. Do you have any to recommend? Thanks

What are the upscale spaces? Do you recall the names? Thanks
