I'm going back to Cartagena next month. I went back in 2022 and had a great time.
You’re going to have another great time man, Cartagena is beautiful. I recommend Castillogrande beach if you want to relax without getting solicited by the vendors on the beach.

Also, XO nightclub and monkey bar were pretty fun nightclubs out there, especially monkey bar. I recommend Cafe Havana for salsa and live music

Headed to DR (18+ Riu) for a guys trip in a few weeks. It's gonna be blessed, this is the first time the guys (5/12 lol), leave the country together.
:blessed:

Then in a few months me and my shorty are gonna go to the US then finish the year in the Caribbean
:shaq:

People always say I don't do anything, not realizing I love spending my money on vacations.
:ohlawd:

its finally time. The pandemic threw this trip off by 3 years, but im going to barcelona in september. any recos (additional cities to hit, places to stay, restaurants, bars) would be apprecaited
Segrada Familia is kind of their main attraction but it’s worth it.
I’ll have to dig up the restaurants on my old itinerary but the food there is really good. Stick to the table wine, the Spanish are really good at reds and obviously riojas/sangrias

First timer heading to the Japans in Sept.

Tokyo-Kyoto-Osaka-Kobe

May also do a weekend in Seoul

Recs for grub/drink/japanese soul bars much appreciated

Not sure how you are with nudity, but you should definitely partake in Japan's bath culture. It will be too hot to really appreciate it in the Summer, but depending on when you go in September, then it may be okay.

A.) You'll be naked with a bunch of other men...Spa World in Osaka makes everything nice and easy. You can also go with your girl, She bathes on the girl's floor, you bathe on the guys floor, then y'all meet up in the dining area of the complex to have lunch/dinner. Any other tourists reading this, please don't fukk up and make them ban all tourists.

B.) Just you naked with a girl that you can meet up with in town and play the role of lost tourist. If she's feeling you, and y'all develop a skinship of sorts, then you can sometimes rent out a private room with a personal bath for just the 2 of you for like an hour the closer to suburban or rural, the better rate. This is different than a love hotel because this can have beautiful views of nature.

If you got obvious tattoos though, then you may be "assed out" (ironically)

*If you are in the NYC area and come back home with yen, I can meet up with you and exchange it for USD for whatever the current rate will be. That way we both save on the exchange fee.



Every decent-sized neighborhood will also have smaller, more local bath houses (sento). Some of the older ones even have denki-buro or electric baths. \

I haven't been in Japan in a few years, so I don't know what prices are like.

Good looking out, I went to a Korean bath house with my ex girl in the DMV a few times...same set up males in one females in the other then meet afterwards for food and other massage and relaxation rooms (saunas, heated rocks, etc). Zero tats here.

Gotta find my Lady Mariko over there for the full experience

I just came back from 10 days in Colombia (5 in Medellin, 5 in Cartagena). I had the time of my life :wow: I love that country, the people are so nice, patient, and understanding when I was trying to speak Spanish with them. Went on Pablo’s island as well as 4 other islands, met people from all around the world, and seen so many beautiful women. Loved learning about the history, especially of the Afro Latinos in comuna 13. So much beauty among the previous poverty and violence of the location, its crazy

It was also good to disconnect with America for almost 2 weeks, I have no idea what’s going on in the world right now besides Colombia in the Copa America finals, and I’m fine with that LOL
Would you suggest Cartagena or Medellin for a 3 day weekend?

And you wasn't scared of getting scoped? :ohhh:
