They're worried you'll use them to get clients you'll then see without them getting their cut, AKA 'steal clients'.

Steal thier clients? I may just give agencies a miss altogether. TBH by the time ive paid thier fee for a client and possibly a driver I  could have got a hotel. Im having a rethink!

I'd say Option Three - Touring! I'm not an expert but from what I've read on this forum written by real touring experts, it's a great way to work. (See, ParisB, Violette, and others - I think there's a Laura in Scotland who tours all the cities there?) I would love to do it but am intimidated by the travelling and organisational skills doubtless required. But all it would take really is plenty of research and lots of searching this forum for older posts on it - the guild of harlots (Google for address) has a section for touring recommendations (hotels/apartments/etc) I think.

And if you go away for - I dunno - two or three days a week? Or four days every other week? No idea how the details work out but it seems that you earn a lot in a short amount of time and can save a lot if you're careful about where you stay etc. And it would only be for a few months in the end so not the end of the world if you don't end up always wanting to work that way. Be an amazing chance to see different cities, though!

I'd say the same to Cindy. And there's also the option of touring (or hosting incalls from a local hotel) with another escort which doubles your safety and probably can help cut down costs a bit (ie sharing a 2-bed apartment instead of two separate hotel rooms maybe?)... it could end up being a really fun holiday.
