Travel with an escort

[rocky]

Hi all. I'm having my first travel with an escort

on a trip to Florida. Question, what am I obligated

to pay for? I"ve covered the airfare, I have the

room and paying a daily amount; should I be picking

up all meals and other extra curricular activities?

I've been a regular with this escort for a number of

years and he has wanted to visit where we're going

for a while. Thanks, Paul

For what it's worth, here's my experience with this situation. I've only ever traveled with one escort, a guy I've been seeing now for over a decade and whom I feel I've come to know well (I've met members of his family, been to his home, met his longtime girlfriend, have been involved in his non-escort life and work, etc.). When I travel with him, I pay all expenses (travel by plane or car or rail, hotel, meals, tickets to entertainment, admission to museums, and the like) in addition to his fee (which he kindly lowers for me because I'm spending lots of money on the trips themselves). He supplies his own spending money (for souvenirs or shopping or whatever). This works for us, but maybe we're an odd case because we've known each other so long and get along so well and are "friendly" in addition to doing "business" with each other.

 

On the other hand, I've several times traveled with guys (not hustlers or escorts) in whom I had romantic interest and offered them the same kind of deal. Without exception, every single one of these trips was a complete disaster.

 

Good luck! Be sure to post a report on the trip!

If you've been seeing this guy for a long while, negotiate. If you're going to a place that he's interested in, he'll likely work something out. I took a reputable escort to Hawaii, and he lowered his daily fee to $300 because the hotel and location was excellent.

 

In general, you are responsible for paying for everything.

[TotallyOz]

It is just my opinion but you should pay ALL expenses.

 

I took an escort to Las Vegas recently. I paid his airfare, hotel, all food, entertainment and etc. I also paid the rate he gave me for the trip. Also, I gave him $200 each day to spend at the casino for gambling.

 

It is my philosophy that when you take someone for an extended amount of time that you should treat them the same way you would treat a lover.

 

If you treat them like a queen, they will treat you like a king! or vice versa

[Epigonos]

I have really only traveled with one escort but am about to travel with a second. Depending on the length and destination of the trip I do feel some negotiation is possible. With my upcoming trip I asked the escort for a price for his time which he provided. I couldn't afford that amount, thanked him and signed off. He then came back with a somewhat lower offer which I accepted. Now with that settled ALL other expenses will be paid by me. That, of course, includes transportation, hotel, meals, drinks, excursions and all other forms of entertainment. If he chooses to purchase personal items those will be paid for by him. Anything he chooses to spend on me is totally at his discretion and not expected or anticipated. If he does choose to pay for something I would expect it to involve only a small amount of money and would consider it an unnecessary thank you.

Isn't this a discussion you should have with him? In advance?

 

When I hire a guy, I cover everything. Although I *have* had some wonderful escorts insist on buying me a dinner here or there along the way. But I usually figure the treat is on me.

Come on down to Florida!!!

 

I have only traveled with one escort and I knew him very well, but the trip ended up not being enjoyable at all. We attempted another very short trip that was a complete disaster. As a result, I have found traveling alone and getting to enjoy the local talent is far more enjoyable.

If I do decide to travel with an escort again, I play to pay all of his expenses, as I have done in the past.

Rocky when I have had the great chance to travel with someone they have picked up everything meaning airfare, ground transportation, hotel, food and entertainment. There are times though when I travel and if I need say a coffee or a light snack I pick that up on my own, or if I see a pair of shoes (I have a weakness for those things) or article of clothing I pick that up on my own. I don't expect the client to pick up the out of ordenary. I mean heck for most it is a luxery to fly a guy some where for a weekend or a week. Basicly I just ask that the basics be payed for.

 

Hugs,

I take an extended trip once a year with a guy I've been seeing long-term. I pick up the tab for everything. Happily. And at the end of every trip, he gives me a thoughtful gift as some momento of the trip. We've taken road trips, have gone to Europe, Hawaii and Mexico. He lowers his rate a bit for me, but I just make up the difference with a tip. This guy is great and fun and I'm lucking fucky to know him. And he's lucky to know me.

I have traveled with several escorts over the years, and always at least two, if not more trips, each. I have always paid every expense: airfare, hotel, meals, drinks, etc HAPPILY. As one writer said, if you know your escort, and have traveled before, you can work something out with the fee paid on top of expenses. for example, shopping: you might pay for some, and he pays for some. it all depends on the escort and how well you know him.

I certainly appreciate everyones comments..my situation is one where I know my "friend" is going to elsewhere for another customer; and I just wonderered what my responsibilty was..thanks.

Besides the airfare and hotels, you should pay for the costs of things you do together on the trip (admissions, meals, local transportation, etc.). Gifts (like shopping sprees) are at your own discretion. If the escort wants some time off on his own (to shop, see sights you aren't interested in, go to the gym, see another client) that's on his dime. He is, after all, also earning a fee for accompanying you on this vacation. He should expect to spend his own money on his own individual amusement, or money-making ventures (if he's seeing someone beside you during the trip).

 

A really smart escort would also use some of his own money to occasionally treat the client to something, or buy him a small gift as a memento of the trip, if he wants to keep the client on a long-term basis and maybe get invited for another long (and profitable) trip! I think too few guys in this business understand the old maxim that you have to spend money to make money.

Amen.

 

This goes along with my comments in another thread ("escort...hustler") where the "escort" lectured the client when the client invited the "escort" to a very nice dinner, off the clock. The lecture evidently was about the "you're paying me for my time" thing and how he would never cross that line.

 

Instead of having a great dinner and cementing his relationship with the client -- at no cost to himself except for a couple of hours of time -- he insulted the client, probably ruined the relationship and probably cost himself a fair amount of future income. Not smart.

 

Your point above is something some guys get and others seem to miss. Every business has expenses, some of which are spent on customer retention. If an escort likes a client and wants to keep that client coming back, there are many ways to do it that don't involve spending much money but can make a big difference.

 

As you indicate, small gestures while spending extended time together will go a long way toward making a client feel warm and fuzzy. Offering to buy a cup of coffee, picking up a small souvenir, even buying lunch will be things a client will remember and like. Even better, of course, is offering real value and sometimes that might mean throwing in a bit of extra time off the clock.

 

I've seen escorts who did these kinds of things in a warm, smiling kind of way that just exuded friendliness and companionship. Others wouldn't dream of it. Guess which type I go back to?

 

I have a fond memory of a day I spent in West Hollywood several years ago, during one of the street festivals (I forget which one). I was with a young escort who was recently out of college, a great-looking, sexy guy I had hired a number of times before that day. We spent the entire day together, ending at my hotel. When I went to pay him, he wouldn't take any money. He said that I'd already bought him lunch and dinner and that he had enjoyed the day. He wouldn't take any money at all. I was surprised -- amazed, really -- impressed and pleased. Needless to say, I was a pretty loyal client for the duration of the nine more months he was in LA.

Smart, guy. Probably smart in all sorts of ways! :-)

I always believe in paying 100% of the trip (airfare, hotel, meals & spending money). Any palces we see together I also pay. Taking one of my favorite boys to London with me for a week and I know we will have a ball. I get a cut rate fee during the trip and I'm happy with that. He even has plenty of free time during our trip to do anything he would like on his own, which is good for both. Even at times I'll pick up a escort or two and invite them back for some fun with both. As always I never have seen a week go so fast in my life

 

When in doubt I whip it out :+

[trilingual]

To avoid unpleasantness, the best plan is to discuss all these expectations with the escort up front, including the amount of free time you're comfortable with. If an escort expects considerable free time while on the trip with you, it's reasonable that you should pay him less than if he is spending 24-hours a day with you. You should both be clear on your expectations on the trip.

There are a few escorts that I have seen on several occasions that almost always give me a gift as a token of appreciation. I cannot say that it is the rule, but there are a few. Also these guys are really considerate in other ways besides the gifts. This thougtful and considerate attitude are one reason I have seen them several times -- probably second only to them being hot and wreaking sex. }(

I'll echo what most people have said here. You're smart to travel only with an escort you've known. In addition to increasing the odds for a pleasant trip, you should also be able to negotiate a better price (I have never paid anywhere near the daily rates I've seen in most escorts' websites). Since I don't pay the full fee, I don't expect the escort to be with me 24 hours a day. If he stays with me, I pay for all of the expenses. When an escort goes on his own, or buys things not related to the trip (clothing, souvenirs, etc.), he does it with his own money.
