Soldier's forum

Throw some more info up about yourself and some people on here may be interested. If you're not the kinda person who likes to travel solo, it could be a good idea to spend a bit of time with some other people with similar interests.

My advice have u tried travelling solo ? If u want to meet new people stay in hostels and dorms and use places like

https://www.showaround.com/

For local people.


I'm going back South America but won't be until 2024 where did u have in mind. Have u done any travelling before ?

Salutations. I am headed to Colombia next week. Medellin, and may travel around a bit too. What's your deal? I am from Ireland and going long term for some respite. Just quit my job and want to take some time to enjoy life and escape the Western decline...

showaround.com looks like a good site!

Blindly exploring a new place is fun, but having an insider show you around makes a big difference (especially if you are short on time)

I might get Fernanda to show me around when I arrive in Medellin. It looks like her english is great and she has a deep civic knowledge of the area

Atta boy! Good stuff! Exploring the City of Eternal Spring with a woman of Eternal Youth. Sounds like a hell of an escapade! Whats not to love?

This thread reads like product placement. lol

She charges €74 an hour while everyone else charges around 10-20. Forgive me if this is a stupid question as Ive never been to colombia (or south america), but is she an escort?

I did take a look at the site and it looks pretty legit! I saw the 10-20 USD rate per hour for most, but I noticed that there were locals who are giving free tours. 74 Euros is like 80 USD, so your girl is definitely on the pricey side. It looks like you are paying for great quality, especially since she is a native of the city. She will probably help you negotiate prices and give you her best recommendations for fun places/activities. No, I don't think she is escort, but she could be like a top model or social media influencer, so you might be looking at a pretty extravagant day/night in Medellin. Medellin has got fantastic nightlife, so I do not think you will be disappointed one bit!

Wow, that's expensive. If it was me I would do similar to Kurt and talk to random locals, and when you find someone who seems cool just ask if they can show you around.

Making genunine friends and have them show you around is probably the best option, but If you are short on time its a good idea to prearrange a professional guide.

There u go please post see how u get on. It might not be for u that's how I 1st started showaround then u find a knack of spotting decent honest taxi drivers who become friends.

Good luck with trip

I wouldn't pay that much tbh for 1st time as u may not like it set yourself a budget of like 30 euro per hour 5 reviews

I've never seen escorts on that site. If u prefer u can use companies like viator if its your 1st time. Maybe wen u arrive go out 1st day in day light have a walk around get a feel for the place then make a decision

Im from Australia but want a change. Mature, Outgoing, confident person despite being still a teenager. All i Want someone is willing to explore the country and make friends with local people (my goal is to one day live in SA) . Do not want to travel with a gay or political person that just my preference not trying to be hateful towards those groups.

My Travel experience:
I have been to -
France
Netherlands
Italy
Belgium
New Zealand

Travel by yourself and you will definitely meet someone that would be willing to come travel with you. If you stay at a hostel it is almost impossible not to meet fellow travelers.
You do not need to pay women to hang around you.

Thanks for the advise Kurt and Mulvey

'You do not need to pay women to hang around you"

Ever. Anywhere. Under any circumstances. Don't be a simp. lol

Yeah id like to go in the first half of 2024
