statistics & numbers ... Escorts you may want to read this

[hunterlee]

Over the past year and half I have traveled about half the year and have collected data.

 

I've done a cost benefit analysis of being a traveling escort day costs in different cities and regions.

IF you want further information & data please PM me.

 

These costs include.. 4* hotel, flights, food, mass transit, uber, entertainment and personal expenses related to traveling.

This cost is not including your home costs, home rent, health insurance, car payments etc only travel costs.

 

Regional States Costs to Travel

 

North East: $235 a day

 

Midwest: $262 a day

 

West Coast: $288 a day

 

South East: $260 a day

 

Escort thinking about traveling? Think about your revenue to costs.

Example:

Escort $200 an hour

Daily Average = (Take hrs / nights traveling)

1hr - 200 Stay home

1.2hr - 240 Stay home

1.4hr - 280 Stay home

1.6hr - 320 Stay home

1.8hr - 360 (I personally would stay home, but if you like to travel this would be your ideal number)

 

Bottom line you must average more than one billable hour a day to break your costs while traveling / touring.

 

This only applies to traveling escorts who do not have discounted/free flights, hotels or other costs I've expressed earlier.

 

Being a traveling escort is a great way to travel the world if you enjoy to travel and meet new people! I personally love to travel and see new things. However if you are someone who has expenses to take care of at home, this is a thread that could be helpful to you!

What cities did you travel to? Because I'm a little surprised the Midwest costs more than the Northeast.

[BaronArtz]

I had the same reaction re Northeast. Your cost calculation seems way too low. What type of locations/accomodations do you stay in? The Day's Inn at LaGuardia airport? Motel 6 in Secaucus?

 

Keep in mind that there are legislative initiatives to ban Airbnb in NYC ... Dunno about other cities in the Northeast.

[DonaldTramp]

The 'legislative initiatives" have already put restrictions on Airbnb in NY. Whether or not they will have an affect, remains to be seen.

Midwest - Chicago / Denver / St Louis

As stated in the original post four star hotels, these brands can include marriot, hyatt, hilton, spg (now marriot) etc. Please read details of a post before asking questions that can be answered from reading. Also this is including flights from the south east to the north east. These flights are much cheaper than flying out to the west coast vs a west coast provider flying within the west coast.

I have not stayed at an airbnb during my trips.

I hope you're also raking in those frequent flyer, and hotel guest points!

While a bit surprising, Hunter's numbers make some sense to me. I travel to Chicago a lot, and hotel nights at quality, conveniently-located hotels can be surprisingly pricey. The Manhattan market is much more volatile (even when using the hotel's official site, the same room can be $150 or $550 depending on the week/end) but, with some attention, deals can be found in nice/r hotels.

There is no need to be so 'catty', it is not becoming. And potentially bad for business. FYI - I am an executive at Hilton, in NYC. I look at hotel prices every day. Your numbers for the Northeast don't make any sense at all. State and city taxes alone add 18% to the cost of the room. You need to look at total cost, not just advertised rates.

 

I don't know you, but it seems to me you know more about make-up than about accounting. Which is fine. Just focus on your strengths.

Ironic for you to mention catty. Pot calling the kettle.

 

Yes these are all the costs added up including the taxes. As I said, flights from Florida to the north east are much cheaper than flights from Florida to the west coast. Since I am including everything (all costs not just hotel) therefore total costs will be higher than other regions if flights are more expensive.

 

Also northeast mean cities like DC, philly and Boston. Not just New York City. Often times in DC and Philadelphia room rates are often $99 + taxes during off season and sales. This is not speaking only for Hilton.

 

As well these numbers represent the costs when I have traveled.

How do you factor in the length of each stay? $250 airfare is going to add more to the daily total for a 2 day trip vs a 5 day trip.

Speaking of catty! Seriously though, while I have no doubt these are accurate figures for your travel Hunter, I do wonder how generally applicable they can be in terms of regional cost variation. For example, I don’t know if your West Coast travels were limited to California or also included the Pacific Northwest, but I can say that hotels cost much more here in the beautiful, sunny summer than the cold, drizzly winter. There are just so many variations from city to city, season to season, weekend to weekday, that it’s hard to generalize about what things will cost. I would imagine that revenue is also difficult to predict and have seen different people advise different things about visiting the same city based on their own good/bad experiences. But some of this could just be coincidence in picking a time to visit when there are many or few other visitors that happen to be in the city. Given this, it could be mutually beneficial for visitors to coordinate travel, but it’s difficult to imagine exactly how that would happen logistically. Anyway, I know the decision to travel can be risky, so I appreciate your trying to get some information out there, even if it’s statistically imperfect. It would also be interesting to hear other frequent travelers chime in with tips.

I take all the costs from a city and divide it by the number of nights*, I say nights to represent the number of paid hotel nights.

 

Daily airfare cost will be lower on a 5 day trip than a 2 day trip, but does not directly impact my numbers.

 

I took all my costs ever from a city divided by the number of paid hotel nights I've ever stayed. It represents different times of the year and different situations since traveling is never the exact same every trip.

100% correct, many many factors influence the costs.

 

These numbers only represent my travels throughout the year with different situations and the potential averages another provider may face while traveling.

 

They could face a +\- 50 or more.

 

However my bottom line is

 

There are many costs to traveling and it is not inexpensive. For an escort who is new to traveling or thinking about traveling just potential numbers to think over.

I am also surprised to see the Northeast listed as lowest. I know in Massachusetts it can vary greatly depending on the exact location you're staying, regardless of if you're in a 4*. For example a 4* just outside Boston, in Cambridge is going to be much more affordable than a 4* in the North End.

 

When you visit different states do you always stay directly in the city? Is location more important than budget when traveling?

I used to plan my DC trips around cheap hotel fares, but turns out that was penny wise and pound foolish. DC hotels are cheap when congress is out of session and everybody has left town. Turns out it's better to pay more for your stay when clients are actually around.

Hunter and others,

Do you use Priceline or similar? Do you take express deals or "name your own price"?

 

What about last-minute hotel deals?

 

These are tempting though they do have a risk. I was wondering if it works out for traveling.

 

I assume you sign up for loyalty programs. Any advice on those?

 

Also I guessed that traveling only made sense for escorts if there were a fair number of overnight sessions. True?

 

Thanks for the great info!

I would almost agree, however I've always been busy in DC even when rooms were cheap. This is my personal experience.

It's all contingent on my circumstances for hotels.

 

Traveling only makes sense if you have 2 or more billable hours a day or you have reduced / free travel, lodging or other expenses.
