I searched the forum and found 4 threads on
http://www.travelgirls.com. I'm posting to this one since none of them seem to be definitive. Caveats: I'm new to game and although I've had success on the internet in the past, I wouldn't dare say my Internet game is tight.
Summary:
IMO this site is legit but maybe not the best available for trips FBs or pipelining. The pluses are that the girls have pre-selected themselves as willing travelers and are expecting trip offers whereas on other sites (Craigslist, OKC, DIA, etc) they might be sketched out by people they haven't met in person offering trips. The second plus is that the high fee probably keeps out the thirsty hordes so high level talent is willing to use the site. They are also probably DTF since the forum opinion on girls who travel is well known. It is probably best to use this site only if you have cash to travel in style, have a firm dates for a trip locked in, are decent looking and have decent game. Then again, if you have all of those things you probably wouldn't have issues getting a travel FB from another, cheaper/free alternative. If you don't mind P4P, then it is probably a great site.
Long Version:
I recently posted about a good experience finding a travel FB using CraigsList then I found this site. I researched it here and on google, there consensus seems to be that it isn't a scam but may not be a great value. I think that is shaping up to be the correct opinion. Basically I wanted to share my opinion so others can decide if the 60-70 euro cost is worth it.
First, the premise of the site from the male point of view is that it is a place to meet girls who like to travel. It's a great premise and the site has a lot of traffic from a lot of different countries. The majority of the women are E. European however. The girls can be broken down, in my experience, into three categories: 1) P4P; 2) Trip FBs; and 3) Trip Teases.
The first category, the pros, are pretty easy to figure out. Many are up front on their profile or hint that cash is expected. I can respect the ones who are up front about it. Others will show their true colors after a series of emails. The two quotes I've received so far are 1200 Euro for a 3 day weekend trip and 600 Euro for a weekend trip. The women who offered up these numbers are not even the truly hot ones on the site. This was from two 7's. I was mainly only interested in the second because she was 6'0" tall and from a country I haven't banged before. The truly hot ones with the crazy, professional photos (who will list they are models/actresses/fashion designers) are probably going to cost more than these girls. They all expect to have their expenses covered and to travel in style. There are a lot of profiles that fit this category.
The second category is the goldilocks category. These are the ones I'm trying to find. A girl who is adventurous, fun and would enjoy a romantic trip. It's a win/win in my opinion. These girls are the ones who will say they're not escorts but "if there's a spark..." on their profiles. I've corresponded with some who meet this. They generally expect the trip to be covered but they aren't asking for shopping/cash like the first category. You could also game this category without paying for their trip by finding ones who are traveling to the same city you are at the same time and game them that way. The number of girls in the goldilocks category is the smallest of the three.
The third category is are the teases. They will state they are not escorts, not up for sex, and just looking for friends. Most still seem to expect that you should pay for their travel however. Like the goldilocks category, some of these girls are traveling anyway and you could arrange to meet them if your trips line up. I haven't really bothered much with this category but if your online game was tight and you had great pictures, I'm sure some would make an exception for you.
IMO, this site is best for guys whose incomes are above $100k a year but would be best for those are top 5% income earners. I make just over 6 figures and I can afford a nice trip like this once or twice, maybe more since I'm based in Cairo and it is easy to arrange a meetup for a weekend in Europe for someone from the region without breaking the bank. This type of game is not for everyone and I concede it is not the purest, most respectable form of game. I'd put it below the Seeking Arrangement game because you will probably have to shell out for a top shelf girl. The way I looked at it though, if you were going on the trip anyway, you could get a hot girl whose company you enjoy for the cost of a plane ticket and some food/entertainment. If you are only paying for the trip expenses, I think this falls outside the P4P realm but it is in the neighborhood next door. If you are into flagging and you're not cash strapped, this may be a fun avenue for you.
How to get the most bang out of the site: As others have noted, you have to pay the fee to correspond with the girls. It is an active site and I don't think they have all been scammers but I could be wrong. To maximize your use of the site, I would schedule your trip and nail down the dates/time/place. The girls are there for the trips. So once you have your plans finalized, join the site for one month. Do this two to three months prior to the trip so you can arrange her travel and save money (last minute airline tickets are usually double in cost). Then start searching and offering trips to the girls who catch your eye. For a one month subscription, you should be able to lock a hottie down and then transition to skype/email to keep in touch prior to the trip.
Will I keep using the site? Probably not at this point in my life. My finances are good but not great. Likewise, my body and internet game are okay but not great. If those inner game items need to be tuned up. Once I do that, I wouldn't be adverse to trying it again once I have a trip lined up and the cash saved. I would probably go back and follow this recipe unless there is a better site to use. I haven't tried Mamba.ru which was mentioned previously. It sounds like it could be an easier, better, cheaper option. As I originally mentioned, I also had great initial success using CraigsList for similar to type of game. It was actually easier than this whole process but the down side is that you put the ads out and wait for responses. So bottom line, if money isn't an issue, you like hot cosmopolitan girls and you already have a trip planned, then this might be a decent site to use. If you don't meet these criteria, you are probably better off pipelining on other sites.
