Ryan, I suggest you leave it here, because you will get responses from escorts and clients.

 

My comment would be make it as attractive as possible for escorts, six weeks is an incredibly long time. You need to know the escort before you leave the U.S., even couples or close friends get edgy in six weeks. Hostels and camping are not likely to appeal to many escorts, except for a few days.

Thank you, the hostels and camping is to truly get the sense of the country. I think if we do the four star hotel thing every night we will not be getting a real sense of the country. But, I totally understand what you mean, I think its just my mentality of living among the people fantasy.

I always had a dream of traveling from NYC than to Washington D.C. than to Europe and backpack there. I never had the money, but now I have recently sold my company for a great profit and now I am able to enjoy life more comfortably.It will be 6 weeks long we will switch between hostels, hotels, camping.I want to see the sights the luxury of the countries and the life of the locals.

 

I never posted before and wondered how I would approach an escort to travel with me?

Six weeks is a very long time is that too long for an escort and client appointment?

Should I pay in full after we come to an arrangement for his time, or is it best I make a deposit and compete compensation after the trip?

 

Any help on how to approach this situation will be great

 

Thanks

 

Ok I am dying to find out how this works out.

I am not sure what's happening to this thread. I would have kept it here, where people did actually take the kind of trip 20, 30, 40 years ago or last month that Ryan wants to take. Although for that long (six weeks) it was likely without an escort.

Thank you for your help, but I do not have the strength for all the negative DM and responses I received, I deleted both postings

Ryan, Give us more of a chance. Over the years, people here have provided good answers to questions far more unusual than your planned trip to Europe.

I would not think that most residents would be living in hostels or tents.

It's possible with the right escort. With a friend, I stayed in a hostel in Zagreb, Croatia for a few nights. It was fine. But, you will meet people from all over the wotld, not just the former Yugoslavia. We agree completely about camping, rguer.

I am envious of your trip but I would not take an escort along for 6 weeks.

I would guess you would like the same companion for the full trip so as to have the feeling of really sharing the experience, but if you have ever travelled with someone for a prolonged time, the best part of the travel is the time you can lose them for a few hours to relax. I think hiring 2 or 3 escorts during the trip, perhaps ones who know the country you are visiting and who can really give you the experience of living in that country is a great idea. Knowing that your time together is limited, may expand you tolerance for each other's peccadilloes. Little things alwayd come up and more so with increased time together. Hopefully handling the little things well, by keeping you time together manageable will keep the big thing coming up and being handled well many times over.

Steven Draker would be a great companion but even a man as sexy as Steven might get a bit stale after 6 weeks. A week with Steven in Belgium and France, and then perhaps a week of camping on your own and then another local European escort sounds like a nice sandwich. Hiring in NYC and DC is easy enough and there are many great choices for those legs of your trip. Hiring hourly or daily will be a bit more expensive but you would more than make up for that cost by not paying for the international travel.

Doing the kind of travel you describe, with someone you do not know, is likely to be very rough and more stressful than a vacation should be. Since you hope to relax and really get to know the people of the countries your are visiting, do that. Tying your enjoyment to that of a stranger might be fun for awhile, but it has been said, and this is a case where I think it does pertain, you are paying the escort to leave.

The most I've ever done with an escort was a week. Each time was to Walt Disney World in Florida, where there is plenty of area and time to get lost and not see each other.

 

These days, I would be wanting a companion to help be climb stairs, carry things, and the what not.

I was thinking along the same lines as Purplecow. I did a couple of these backpacking trips in college, and found the worst experience was when I went on a trip with someone I didn't know very well, and the best was when I went solo but would meet up with people in their respective cities. Sometimes I'd meet new people on the road and travel with them for a few days. So I'd suggest having a flexible itinerary with a few points set along the way with a local guy waiting for you to show you the town.

 

A couple of other observations I recall from those trips:

 

1. After staying in hostels for a while, you'll be wanting to stay in a hotel! The hostel thing is fun, but can get kinda old.

2. If you really are serious about backpacking, I'd suggest a duffel bag rather than a backpack. Backpacks are a pain in the ass to put on and off, don't seem to hold as much, and are bulky and cumbersome - especially if you're on a train. A duffel bag slung over your shoulder will be just as good, and more convenient.

 

Sorry your initial post was greeted with nasty messages sent to you. I can't imagine what that was about, but find more and more saying to myself what's wrong with people? Your idea sounds fun and after having successfully sold your company, well deserved. Just think through the details a bit and allow things to be recalibrated along the way if needed.
