Hey man,
I don't have the knowledge or expertise to advise you on your next destination, but I would be very interested to hear about your experiences in Ukraine if you care to share them. Also I have a few questions about transitioning to the digital nomad lifestyle as I've been pondering such a move myself...
Sure thing, happy to share. I've only been here in Odessa for 3 days so far. First impression was: wow, the girls really are as hot here as they say, while the guys look mostly slightly inbred. In the mall one evening I walked past five girls in a row all of whom literally took my breath away. Even the maid in the hotel would be an 8 in my book. This has left me drooling, but so far unsatisfied. 12 Tinder matches so far out of maybe 50 right swipes (so about 25%; for me this is a lower match rate than SE Asia where it was around 75%, but higher than the US where it's around 5-10%). Of those 12, about 6 conversations. 4 were more or less obviously looking for P4P. The other 2 seem interested but one is working this weekend and can't meet (or so she claims), while the other has become unresponsive. I think it's partly because it's off season here in Odessa, a city which other than the crappy beaches doesn't have much going for it, and maybe I'd have more luck in July; but also I get the impression that it's very much about night-game in this city, hitting up the clubs in Arcadia, and that's not my style. The girls are conservative, don't seem open to ONS and seem only to be interested in guys who are going to be here long term, are wary of sex tourists, particularly Turks who they seem to hate, and the couples I've seen on the streets have either been girls with local men, or with the tall dark Italian/Spanish type men with their designer fashions and slightly sleazy aggression of whom I am somewhat the opposite. On the other hand, if you are talk dark and Italian or Spanish, maybe you would do very well here! The other annoying thing I've discovered about Odessa is that it isn't very well connected, and most flights to other destinations involve connecting through Kiev, so I'm debating whether to stop there for a few days to see the city and test the market since I'll have to pass through anyway. I had high hopes for Ukraine, since so many people on this forum compare it to the Philippines, but so far I have been disappointed, and I don't know whether it's because of my type or some incompatibility between my game and the culture, or a bit of both. Certainly the phenomenon you get as a white foreigner in the Phils of having a virtual line of girls vying to come directly to your hotel room to fuck just does not seem to happen in Odessa at this time of year... it's a shame, because the girls really are hot, with beautiful soft fair skin, many with blue or green eyes and light hair, and excellent figures, and I would fuck almost any of them.
Feel free to shoot me questions about being a digital nomad. If you can arrange your work life to make it possible, it's a great lifestyle, with a few notable downsides that people don't talk about much...
