I could see NN doing freelance work for VICE media, something along the lines of these:

The one about the cannibal warlords in Liberia was pretty heavy stuff. People like to slam VICE for the hipster phaggots that end up filming these videos but props to this dude for going.

There were definitely some hairy situations he founds himself in throughout his trip.

Episode 3

Alright, I am going to shoot straight on this. I hope Nomad reads this as constructive criticism and not just another person giving him props and zero real feedback.

1. Nomad is nuts. I would never have a hyenna jump on me.

2. Am I the only one who is already sick of the "Mexican Pirate" routine? It would be better if they just dressed normal. Sitting around with beers and going "Arrrrrrr!". Pretty tired already. Pretty weesh. And that is only after a few minutes. We got it. Your zany.

If I was traveling with these guys I would have ditched them two episodes ago. Then again, I hate "zany". So I might not be the demographic.

3. Here is what is fishy: Not hating and I am not a skeptical person. But I have seen this before in other pua travel "shows".

Why are they always in empty bars but the bars have hot girls? Everytime?

Seems a little strange. Now, I have never been to these places that Nomad is going, but I have been to bars in my life. Rarely have I ever in my life encountered an empty nightclub with the only patrons being hot girls.

Have you ?

4. I am also over the "Jackass" type routine. Throwing a bucket of water on my mate! Who needs to see that crap.

Then again I am probably not the demographic for this.

All in all, 5 stars for what it is.

[Que enspastic]

It's just NN's style. I look forward to him changing over time but I wouldn't want him to change just because someone told him that's what he should do.

I wonder how safe that hyena stunt was? Hyena biting your hand would be the similar to placing it in a heavy duty crushing machine.


Good point on the hotties everywhere in empty bars.

In Cambodia these girls would be identified as "pros".

Agreed on all fronts. The dude is no doubt a fun loving guy, but I'd be embarrassed to roll into a club like that. Maybe I'm insecure, but no chance in hell you catch me in public dressed like that.

As for point #3, that is basically why his intel has been bad IMO. He seems to go to clubs/bars that are hooker joints. That's why his experience in cities and clubs have been very different from some of us here.

I enjoy watching the videos though, and he's doing a great job editing them. Hopefully it leads to bigger and better things for him. He seems like a good dude.

Yeah. They have a serious bite but are not a threat to adults, only children. Also that particular place in Harar, Ethiopia is a tourist attraction. Those hyenas are constantly provided with food and aren't aggressive towards people.

Two things.

The entire video is only like 6 mins long so he condensed it for the best entertainment possible. Honestly, most of his time there was probably ridiculously boring by that measure, hence the bucket water part and all the history lessons.

As for the bar, in most African countries, even North Africa, the girls you see out at night are prostitutes, especially the hot ones. The cultures are so conservative that the average girl just won't be out at night without a male companion.

In Marrakesh, Morocco I went to one venue that had ridic hot girls that could pass for Brazilian, Dominican, etc. They were showing a lot of skin but all turned out to be pros. Surprise, surprise.

So that was likely the case here. African girls aren't going to just make out with a gringo on camera like that. She was mos def a pro. That was Djibouti which has a large French military base and some US marines so there's def a market for that. Notice in Harar, Ethiopia - a very religious and non-glamorous city - he had no chicks.


Also, it could have been brick on most nights but the footage was the only night good enough for video.

Agree with HC - that it appears from what footage that they strove to provide that there was a lot of travel and dust with little action, except for pro action - although we cannot really determine from the footage whether those girls were paid to interact, or whether being on the video would have been enough to get the good looking girls the attention that they may have wanted. In that regard, NN and crew may not have needed to pay to interact with the girls b/c the girls and/or their handlers may have been o.k. with the publicity. In this part 3, we did not see any "lay" footage.

BTW: I believe that the various criticisms and comments about NN travels / videos are not really hating on him or his crew... and in some ways the comments/criticisms give NN and crew props (even though some members may vary in their activities and/or approach to fun/entertainment).

During the downtime I got bored so I went to NN's forum. It was a ghost town, but I did notice he started a thread on his video series. It got 5 replies. Here at RVF, we're going on 50+ replies. I think NN has more fans here than on his own site.

That's true, but to be fair, this forum has been around longer. Looking at the logs, this forum is five years in the making whereas for NN, it's only been one and a half.

[20Nation]

I'm pretty sure Naughty Nomad is takes some truth from what happens and exaggerates it. However, these are still some bad ass videos and props to him for making them.

Right. The fact that he only included footage of him making out with the bartender suggests that nothing progressed past that. Otherwise, he'd have a shot of her in his room or something. NN makes it no secret on his blog that in many of the shithole countries he passes through he shores (meaning he seduces prostitutes for free). The big reason being in those places pros are really your only option for getting laid on a trip.

I would think that in some if not most instances he probably hooks up with these pros without agreeing beforehand to any kind of payment but probably gives them some money afterwards, either for moral or safety reasons (or he doesn't pay cuz he doesn't give a fuck). These girls in many instances are so poor and probably assume the westerner is going to pay them something anyway as to not bring up money up front. Not like there's an Irishman dressed as a pirate passing through everyday. I doubt the chicks in these places NN goes to have fixed rates. Africa is not a sex tourism destination for men.

I know in DR last year I took a girl from the club to my hotel thinking she was normal and didn't find out she was p4p until the moment of truth at which point I kicked her out!


Either way, NN is crazy for kissing all those pros. I'd rather feed meat to a hyena from my mouth!

[JJ Roberts]

All the talk about pros in this thread is amusing.

Are your egos really so fragile that you have to rationalise everything with "must be a pro"?

Mark has a 100% strict no-pro rule and sticks to it like a trooper.

Is it really so hard to just say "props"?

Because they are. In his own words:

Zolo Wrote:

HC is spot on. In most of sub-Sahara Africa, all the girls at night are hot because any African girl whose is hot enough makes money via P4p. The bars are packed with freelancers and semi-pros. In Djibouti, those girls were bar girls, not strict pros, but no doubt the majority of them hook. Kind of like Thailand. That said, you can shore them. Anyways, every girl in our videos didn't get a dime. They were glad to be a part of the fun.

[Hencredible Casanova]

Yeah man. I've said throughout this thread that I give Mark (NN) props for what he's doing. It's cool on many levels. Looking forward to the footage from Somalia because that is truly uncharted territory!

I think what we are saying is "props".

I also think when you create something, you want real, honest criticism/opinions as well. We are all on the same team here.

Saying just "props" doesn't do anyone any good.

I think Nomad appreciates the time and effort I took to watch his videos and give an honest opinion with disclaimers of where I am coming from.

I know I would.

-----

That being said, Nomads videos are made for the purpose of entertainment.

That is how I am looking at it.

And if you look at it from that lens, it is a great success.

Also, the fact that I don't jive with the "Mexican Pirate Routine" and the "Jackass aspect" is probably a good thing. Again, I am not the demographic.

Furthermore, if I don't vibe with something, it most likely means the masses will.

Most things I hate, everyone loves.

Most things I love, everyone hates.

I am a really good reverse barometer of what is popular.

I am mildly surprised that big corporations don't pay me 8 figs a year just to get my take on things and do the opposite.

Didn't he coin the phrase "shoring"?

I think he doesn't pay pros, but he's talked a ton about fucking them for free.

If you're going to defend his honor, at least get the facts straight.

I think everyone has given him props.

And honestly, I like NN and what he is doing. It is his defenders that keep the "hate" rising to the surface. I'd rather talk about positive aspects, but people want to sling "hater" around anytime someone questions his Intel or why he is in a bar with only hot girls. You have to question that shit. I'm sure NN was glad to learn that Pontoon is whore central so he could change his data sheet to make it correct.

I'm going to watch the whole series. hell, I'd even share it on Facebook if it wasn't for the whole fucking girls in Africa and dudes heads being blown off thing.

I hope NN makes a dozen more series and gets his own television show on HBO. I would watch that shit no doubt.

And if him and his crew ever stop off in BKK again I would love to personally take him out to RCA and Thonglor so he can see where, and how easy it is, to find non pros in Thailand. He's mentioned he had trouble finding normal girls here, which was my other beef. In one night I could completely change his mind about BKK and I'm sure we would have a blast in the process. Though, I'm not dressing as a Mexican pirate hah. That's a 100% legit offer too.

See, I think if Nomad and started dressing as Hindu Samurai there would be no issues across the board.

Now that is something I would be down to roll with. A Hindu Samurai.

[WanderingSoul]

My older half-brother (who I didn't grow up with) wore a gorilla suit to the bar for Halloween once. Grabbed some chicks ass and got knocked out cold by her boyfriend. Dude in a gorilla suit laid out on the barroom floor.

Maybe I could do that, minus the getting KTFO part.

As long as they know you are not a customer they will either disappear or stick around if they like you.

Speaking of Travel Bum, there's a Black dude on youtube who does similar videos. The best one he did is one he did in Sosua, granted this guy is full blown paying for pussy but his videos are very entertaining nevertheless. Anybody who has ever traveled with their boyz can relate to it.

I heard the secret behind the IRT's prowess in bed with the "oral sex and all that" actually comes from his training as an Indian Pole Gladiator:

Just look at those groupies.

[lavidaloca]

I just watched the video in DR of the C-Mo Cakes guy. While it is full blown p4p it is fun nonetheless. Although I wish they would drop the "gangsta talk" and they exemplified about every possible stereotype possible including "making it rain dollar bills." Although I guess reaches their target market WorldStar and what not. The guys seem fun and obviously spent a fair bit of dough in the video I watched. But being named "C-Mo Cakes", "Jimmy Mafioso", "Kodeen Kush" and "Burn Bitty" when you're north of 30 is somewhat ridiculous.

I'll take a look at some of the other videos to see if they are any less crazy. On mute the videos are good entertainment although the one I looked like was filmed almost as though it was a music video.

From looking at his facebook profile link he went to "Pimp high."

The naughtynomad videos are good fun. I hope they drop the mexican pirate routine if they make another set of videos. I'm looking forward to the fourth and conclusion to the series of videos.
