3 Steps to Meeting Latin Girls While Traveling Alone to Latin America

February 9th, 2010

Traveling alone doesn’t have to be a bad thing. Many times, us globe trekkers have to venture out on our own without any friends or company. The good news is that we’re probably not going to be alone for long. There are ways to make the whole experience more enjoyable by meeting Latin women and making friends before you get to your final destination and also along the way… These are some of the tactics I use to make every solo expedition a fun one.

STEP 1: Meet some Latin girls online before you get on the plane. This is a must do, especially for those shy guys out there. If you don’t think you’ll be able to approach those sexy latin girls on the streets or in clubs when you travel, you have to do the dirty work on the Internet before you get there. The good news is that it’s really easy, especially when you’re trying to meet Latin women, because their very open, friendly and flirtatious. So get on the Internet start chatting with some Latin beauties and start building some trust and friendships. After a few weeks of chatting on a regular basis, you’ll see that these girls will warm up to you greatly.

I’ll give you one example. I was headed for Barranquilla, Colombia, and on this particular trip, I was going to head down on my own. I started sending out emails to the Latin girls of Barranquilla a month before I got to Barranquilla. By the time the final day of travel arrived, I had already made about 15 new girl friends in that city. I have all of their email addresses and out of those 15, I’ve chatted consistently with about five of them, and I have those five girls phone numbers. Two of them offered to pick me up at the airport; I opted for the one that I felt the most chemistry with. So when I got to Barranquilla I had this beautiful Latin girl, waiting there to give me a warm welcome! The moral of this story is that you need to get your butt online.

STEP 2: Try to meet some Latin girls on the plane, and in the airport. One of the best places to make friends and meet people, both men and women, is on the plane ride over. Plane rides are long and boring, and it’s the perfect place to start up a conversation with a stranger. A simple “where are you headed?”, can start up a conversation that could last the entire flight. I’ve met many girls on the airplane and at airport gates while waiting for my flight. Airports are full of foreigners and it’s a great place to meet some foreign girls.

Step 3: Approach and make friends! If you haven’t done step 1 and 2, then you’re last and only choice is step three. Some good people to befriend are taxi drivers, hotel personnel, waitresses, and cashiers. This approach is probably the toughest out of all three, and one of the main reasons is because of the time limitations you will most likely have on your trip. Once you meet a Latin girl in town, it’s going to take some time to build some trust, and if the girl works or goes to school you might not have enough time to make something happen. The benefit of meeting women online before you get there is that you will already have a certain amount of trust with the girl when you finally meet in person.

Approaching people on the streets is not easy for everyone but look at this way, if you’re in a foreign land surrounded by attractive latin women, there’s no better motivation to approach.

But here’s a tip that will work in just about any location you travel too. If you see someone interesting, just ask them a question about the city. Some questions can be:

1. Do you know a good place to eat?
2. Do you know a good place to get a drink?
3. Can you tell me how to get to so and so?

After you ask your question, you can add. “The reason I ask, is because I’m not from here, I’m visiting”.

Gauge the response. If your new female friend asks you where you’re from, then you are in. This single question is an indication that she’s interested in knowing more about you. Even if she doesn’t come out and ask you right away, don’t bail out too quickly. Stay in and see if you can peek her interest. I’ve found this approach to work wonders in just about any venue while I travel.

Remember, you don’t have to be alone for the entire trip, most likely the only place you’ll be alone is on the ride the airport when you’re leaving because after that, it’s time to meet the women you met online and make more friends on the plane.

Visiting Colombian Coffee Plantations

February 9th, 2010

Colombia is the coffee lover’s Mecca. Colombia produces ten percent of the world’s Arabica beans, exporting ninety percent of that so the world can enjoy the rich taste of Colombian coffee. Even the aroma itself is satisfying. Visiting Colombian coffee plantations can also be an immensely satisfying experience. Coffee, the region’s most important export, is helping draw tourists to Colombia. They may come for the coffee, but they are captivated by the beauty of the land, the diversity of the culture, and the hospitality of the coffee growers of Colombia.

In the 1990s, coffee prices dipped precipitously. Farmers faced the loss of their farm land, livelihood, and way of life unless they could find other avenues of income. Resourceful farmers began sowing a far different crop. Tourists became their best cash crop. Perhaps borrowing the idea from Italian agriturismo, Colombians offered visitors the chance to stay at their homes, experience the rural life, and of course, taste the rich fruits, or beans, of their labor. Coffee fincas, as they are known, are tremendously popular with foreign tourists and even visitors from Colombia’s busy cities.

Most of the coffee grown in Colombia is produced on small farms such as these, but visiting larger plantations can also be a fabulous experience as well. You can travel to Bogota, explore the way of life in neighboring towns and learn about the coffee growing process – perhaps sampling a little of the delicious brews made from mild Arabica beans. After a full day of exploration and traveling around the region, you return to your luxurious accommodations to enjoy rest and relaxation.

Take the time to visit the premiere coffee-growing regions of Armenia, Montenegro, Salento, and the Cocora Valley. Discover that Colombia is far more than coffee beans; travelers can visit the Congress Palace, the Cardinal’s Palace, cathedrals and churches, and the world-famous Gold Museum and Fernando Botero Museum that displays the incredible and diverse art of the region. Drink in the history and culture of this remarkable country; it is as rich as its famed coffee.

Colombia is becoming a premiere tourism locale because of the complexity of the country’s past and the optimism for its future. It is a country rich in culture, heritage, and promise. Just as you can see the process of a seed becoming a cup of the world’s finest coffee, you can see Colombia blossoming into a world class destination.
