Ran across this on X today, look like more are noticing “hoeflation”
He's not wrong. Domestic markets everywhere have gone up that's a fact. Tijuana is not the same as it was even before COVID. A stripper would probably cost $60-$80 at HK before 2020. Now a lot of starting prices are at around $200. Yes, still affordable relatively speaking, but that's a crazy rise and it is not going down anytime soon.
Colombia is no exception. All the passport bros flew down to Colombia (because relatively close location, cheaper currency, and also latinas oogla boogla
) and completely inflated the market. You would think the stories of expats being killed in Medellín would scare the passport bros off? Nope.
Ask any Latina who finally tasted the fountain of luxury to never taste it again. Never going to happen. The market floor has risen and is never going down.
Asia is still relatively cheaper, mainly because most of their customer base is men from other Asian countries, like Japan, China, and South Korea. They make relatively less than we do here in the states, so it makes sense our dollar would go farther. Also, it's expensive and exhausting to travel that far to a country where 1). you're likely going to stick out like a sore thumb, for better or for worse, and 2). you're communicating with the locals in a language where the verbage AND alphabet are completely unfamiliar to the western mind. At least Spanish has some same and/or similar words to English. Try reading Thai. Good luck. Also, prostitution is
technically illegal in Thailand, South Korea, and the Philippines, though authorities tend to look the other way.
Don't know much about Europe, but I heard Germany and Netherlands are a blast as well as Greece and Turkey.
A few countries that are underrated:
1.
Dominican Republic: it's what Colombia was before the passport bros ruined it. There are beautiful latinas, but your dollar goes WAY further and services are also cheaper. Also, if you ever been with a Dominican in NYC, you know exactly how crazy the sex is.
2.
Brazil: Brazil isn't mentioned that much because Colombia tends to steal the spotlight, but Brazil is very underrated here. Everyone in Rio and Sao Paulo speak some level of English, so you will be fine somewhat, though it doesn't hurt to learn a bit of Portuguese. Also, the women are extremely sexual. Basically, if you make eye contact with a woman for enough time, it's essentially an invitation to kiss. I was skeptical of this information too...until I saw it happen in front of my own eyes. Crazy world down there, especially during carnival, which I highly recommend going. Just don't have any valuables unless you want them stolen at Copacabana.
3.
Lebanon: the one country that hasn't been in anyone's radar...yet. It gets shunned by tourists...for good reason of course unless you like air sirens and the potential of getting absolutely trucked by a IDF-paid Lockheed Martin missile. That aside, party and sex scenes are absolutely CRAZY. It's still an extremely hidden gem, a diamond in the rough. Hopefully it still stays that way once Netanyahu stops throwing hissy fits and stops blowing up every single one of his neighbors.
