International travel/Multi-day bookings
« on: 03 January 2021, 03:02:52 pm »
Hi there

So I've been contacted by a client on my escort Twitter who is based in Barbados. He likes me and has suggested that I come visit him. I've explained that in principal, I could, but that he'd be paying the cost of my travel, along with a daily rate, so this is likely to in total run into thousands of pounds for him.

Now it's perfectly possible that he's a timewaster. Obviously if he went ahead with this he'd have to have the travel arranged and pay a deposit before I lift a finger. I also need to look into just how safe Barbados is for LGBT travellers, particularly when I'm traveling there *specifically* to commit sex acts that seem to be illegal according to wikipedia (client says otherwise). So this might be a complete non-starter. However I know that extravagant clients do exist, and so its probably worth having an idea of generally what my policy would be to clients suggesting travel with multi-day stays. So here are my questions:

  • So my hourly is £120 and overnight rate is £750 (That's probably less than ladies charge as I am an M4M escort). What do people think would be a sensible daily rate with this in mind/what do you folks charge in respect to your daily/hourly?
  • What do people do in terms of "time off"? Presumably being at the client's beck and call the whole time would be insane
  • Are there any other considerations I need to think of for these kind of arrangements?

Is he a client already known to you and you've met? If yes, I will presume he has already been screened. If not, screen him before you do anything.

For anyone who wants me to travel to them, particularly if it is overseas, I ask for a deposit of 25% to be in my account as cleared funds in order for me to confirm the booking.  Money for a taxi to/from the airport at both destinations needs to be in my account as cleared funds at least 36 hours before departure. I often ask for expenses for the airport too although to be fair, my clients tend to be generous and include money for expenses anyway. Regarding flights, as it's a long haul flight, there are two choice - either they fly me business class and we meet when I land, or, if they want me to fly coach, I ask that I have a night in a hotel at the destination by myself to recover from the flight/sleep. Flights also need to be booked within 24 hours of the deposit being paid.

In terms of pricing, personally, I charge my overnight fee + half again x number of days or overnight +7 hours, (but I usually only do trips of a few days anyway). I make it clear that I have a few hours to myself very day too, and if you want, request you have x amount of time undisturbed sleep too. One of my clients always books a suite, so I have had my own room which has been marvellous.

Ultimately, it's totally up to you how much you charge. How much business will you lose should you take x number of days off? That needs to be factored in to your fee too as you shouldn't have to lose out financially.

I also recommend you look at some of the agency websites to see their travel/fly me to you terms and conditions, it's how I worked mine out.

Lastly, how easy will it be for you to fly given there's a pandemic? Remember, you will need to quarantine when you arrive back in the UK and that means not escorting for two weeks/ten days. You might want to factor this into your decision as to whether you want to go/how to calculate your fee. 

I hope this helps!

You are a marvel - that's an incredibly useful answer. Thanks so much :)

Oh shit, yeah... this. Maybe not for now then. Useful to have it all worked out though.

Hi there,
Happy New Year!
Just to tell you,be careful about sex slavery and  /or being a  drug mule. When things are too good to be true,I would be very careful. Being in a foreign country with somebody you don t know raises more reg flags . Don t go that is my personal advice.

My initial thoughts would be:

1. Fantasist/timewaster
2. Pandemic

But I don't see any LBG issues with travelling to Barbados, bar having stickers all over your luggage proclaiming that you're a male escort? Lots of people holiday alone/visit relatives.

In answer to your questions:

. I’ve done a few holiday bookings and I charge several thousand pounds. They can be quite mentally exhausting. I personally wouldn’t travel abroad with a client I didn’t know too well, as you can get sick of them if you don’t get along 100%. I think it’s good to know what their sexual appetite is and if you’re going to be able to deal with that

. Time off- well it depends where you go. If it’s somewhere sunny, then obviously you could sunbathe or something. You should ask the client what you can do for a little alone time. I went to Miami with a client once and he sent me to the mall with his maid whilst he had a chiropractor appointment. Will your client have anything to do whilst you’re there and expect you to come with them everywhere?

. I’d ask about separate bedrooms. What if they snore?!

If you are going there and flights are not cancelled,  then add 2 covid fit to fly pcr tests price on top of your fee as you will need to take them
