Hey fellas, I'm new here in the fact that I'm just starting to post, but I been passing through to check this forum and Roosh's blog posts for awhile now.
I am 24 years old, a full time student/Army Vet who is now getting paid by the VA to go to school. I'm gonna start my junior year at Hunter College in Manhattan this fall, but for now I'm finishing up Community College out in Allentown, PA.
I have been around soaking in the sights (while pulling hotties of course) for awhile now...I was just living in Lima from September to mid-December...went to Cartegena last July...spent a week with a wonderful young lady in Panama City last May...did Lima/Cuzco/Arequipa last January...San Jose, Costa Rica last August 08...and spent a year in the Middle East back in 06.
As far as pickup-learning goes, I'm an online coach over in Brad P's 30/30 program, (excellent program by the way, no I don't get paid to say that lol) but I find that this forum brings a cool perspective that also suits me well. The respected guys on this forum don't come off like a bunch of keyboard jockeys living an online fantasy while doing nothing in real life. That says something.
I also like to travel to strange places, eat good food, learn new languages and sleep with hot women while I'm doing it all. A lot of you guys here can prob relate to that and its cool to be able to share information about these types of things.
Now heres where the question comes in:
Right now, I'm chilling with family in the Poconos until early March, when I plan to go back to South America to continue improving my Spanish skills until late May. I'm getting paid to take college 12 credits online, so I'm completely mobile, something like the 4 hour work week, only my business is studying.
Last time I was in SA, I was living okay in Lima on $1,300 a month, studied Spanish, trained physically, rented an apartment in someones house in Miraflores, made a couple cool local friends, and banged more than a few chicks. Good time.
This trip, I will now have roughly $2,500 a month, I know for a fact can painlessly just go back to Lima, this time cop a furnished apartment and live like before, only with more money and connections than when I started last time...but another part of me really wants to branch out and try something new...
I'm thinking a lot about Cali and Pereira in Colombia. Medellin sounds great too, but it sounds like its starting getting all back packer/whore mongerered out.
I'm really interested in Pereira and Cali though, can anybody here tell me anything about these places? Would it be a good investment of my time and money to spend 2 1/2 months there at $2,500 a month? How well could I live in those cities? How do they compare to Lima?
Also, what are the chicks like in Cali and Pereira, racially and culture wise. Im under the impression that Pereria is more mestiza type chicks and Cali is more mixed with an African influence, is this it or what? Do they dance salsa a lot in Pereira, or is it mostly those bars with no dance floors where everyone sits around at tables in big groups and drinks beer? Any clubs?
Where would be the good places to live and meet young local people in these cities, where are the universities? One of the online classes I am taking is Spanish Intermedio 2, but I could always supplement that with some classes or tutoring at a cool local university, this would also give me more access to normal local chicks. What universities would be good for that?
I know its all a WHOLE lot to chew on but any educated advice would be greatly appreicated.
Thanks.
