After swallowing the red pill about 6 months ago. I knew something had to change in my life. I just had to gtfo and experience the fruits and pleasures around the world.

Background info:

I'm 26 years old. Was in a LTR for nearly 7 years. Bought a house together about 18 months ago, luckily for me, I put a lot of my own $$ in it and we only split the mortgage, which I took over. She went abroad working for 3 months with her company, came back with a new bf. I was devastated, but quickly found this forum by chance, thank the manosphere God for that.

I have since worked on self-improvement. Before I was in the LTR I had decent/ok game, now it's beginner mode. Bought and read Bang(still re-reading a few chapters now and then), otherwise it's been mostly on this forum, ROK or McQueen's blog.

I wouldn't say I've been immensely successful with game yet. However, I try/fail as much as I can, which is mostly nightclubs. Every time I fail in a convo/pull, I analyze where I went wrong, most of the times I can't maintain my frame long enough and say some weird shit or I simply don't kino early enough. In the beginning I was consuming too much alcohol or drugs, have found the silver lining though. There is still a long road to walk, luckily I'm on the right path.

Never went to Uni and been building a career in retail. Been franchising since I was 20/21 and have made it quite far earning a good amount of money. Workload is huge, which is some of the reason my game has been going slow. Looking to start my own business when/if I return to Norway.

Travelling

I have the first couple of months booked. I don't want to plan to far ahead, just have a general idea of where I want to go. Traveling alone mostly.

City - Arrival
Las Vegas - 23rd July (Have 3 friends with me)Where is your updated Las Vegas sheet McQueen?
Miami - 29th July (Same here, albeit last night alone)
Lima, Peru - 8th August (80hrs of 1on1 Spanish Classes)
Cuzsco, Peru - 22nd August (Mainly Macchu Picchu trek for 6 days)
Panama - 30th Aug(Doing 10 days in Bocas del Toro)
Montanita, Ecuador - 14th Sept.
Bogota, Colombia - 21st Sept.

I haven't booked anything after my arrival in Colombia. Was thinking about Medellin, Cali and around Baranquilla etc. Longevity of my stay here will depend on how I can manage with my Spanish and how I like it. Will be trying to incorporate Spanish classes wherever I go in South America.

General plan is to stay in SA till around xmas. I want to head down towards Argentina and Brazil at some stage as well.

(Jan-Feb)From Brazil I will be heading to Australia, with a stop-over in South Africa(Thinking just a week). Will do one week in Perth to visit a friend before I head to the other side.

(March) 1 week in Goa, India to visit my aunt and meet my brother.
My brother and I will from there go to SEA where he will depart after 2 weeks. Onwards I'm thinking just SEA till I go back home in May to attend one of my best friend's wedding.

Accommodation and Budget
In Las Vegas I got a suite booked at Encore, and in South Beach, Miami I'm staying at Fontainebleu.

Other than that I like to stay at hostels when I get to a new city for a short duration. Will be looking to rent apartments for the most part. Any tips or experiences are more than welcome. I have read loads of threads regarding the places I'm going.

Regarding South Beach, what are the best nightclubs, pubs, lounges, after hours etc?

I have roughly a budget of around $60,000.

Pipelining

Opened an account on lat.am.cupid.com a couple weeks ago. My Spanish is terrible, which has been an obstacle with some women.

Don't really have any good pictures up. However, I have been getting more attention than I imagined. About 30 women have sent me messages/opened me, and around 250 have shown me interest. I haven't set anything up yet, but there are a few in Lima who wants to meet up when I get there.

I have never been on an online dating site before, nor have I actually been on a date with someone I don't know.

Any other pipelining sites or where Tinder works, are most welcome as well.
Suitcase
Will be traveling light. Have an 60L suitcase/backpack with a 20L backpack attached to it. Can break down what I'm bringing when I actually finish deciding. I'm the kinda guy who brings 3-4 pair of shoes for a weekend trip abroad, this is challenging

Goals

My main goals are to have fun and experience other cultures out of my comfort zone. Needless to say self-improvement is on top of my list.

I dress rather well and would rank myself as maybe a 6,5 or 7. If I get a decent tan, its 1 up(based on the attention I get at home).


As a last note: If any RVF'ers are around the places I will be visiting, would love to meet some of you.

If you manage your money well, that $60k can last you a few years.

OP, sounds like you're in for a great year, especially with that budget. Don't overthink the minor details beforehand. If you're planning to spend more time in Lat America after Colombia, you should really do your very best to learn Spanish as quickly as possible to conversational level, it will help you immensely and enrich your experience. Pay for a private tutor if you have to.

I'm sure it was absolutely devastating at the time, but sounds like this break up might just be the best thing that's ever happened to you.

Best of luck and keep us updated about your travels and experiences!

Sounds amazing, have fun!

[HankRearden]

Yeah man, my biggest advice is to budget WAY less money. I know people that can make a yearly trip last for under $20k. If you want to ball hard, live on your own, and say "yes" to everything, then you can probably still do it for under $35k.

Enjoy!

Just got to Miami after 6 nights in Vegas. We arrived(4 of us) on the wednesday. A friend of mine, who used to be a host(not naming where deliberatly) set us up with a host at surrender. We got there about midnight and he had a table set up for us really close to the dj booth inside. Sitting to our right was a famous soccer player in England(again, will only tell if asked by trusted members in a PM). I had a picture taken with him, he was generally cool to speak with.

After an hour or so. Our host brings 12 strippers(who I guess were comped) to the table on our left. We were chatting with them, and after half an hour, they asked if we would like to join them for an afterparty later on. My first thought was that they somehow wanted money out of us. Which turned out to be completely false, they were from one of the top 2 or 3 stripclubs(I'm no expert on the matter, someone said it was the best etc).

I took a few valium earlier in the evening, because i hate flying long distance. I hardly remember anything after Surrender. One of my friends went to bed and the rest of us, 3 guys and 12(I don't remember if they all came or not, but it was still most of them) strippers went to afterparty at the stripclub, they got a few bottles with mixers and we didn't pay a thing.

Anyways, I woke up in the afternoon with an asian next to me. No idea who she was, I assume it was a stripper, although I can't say for sure. I fell asleep again and woke up when my roommate(we can call him joe)came home, she was then gone. He only got a handjob. The 3rd guy(steve) didn't get lucky, note that he has only been with a couple girls before. Now, later in the evening around 5 or 6 one of the strippers asks him if she can come over, he says yes and got laid.

That night Surrender had a nightswin, my friends wanted to go, so we had our host set up a couch w/daybed in the pool. The 4th guy(he was laming out a lot) left early, he has a gf so I won't be naming him. The crowd was dissapointing though, some aussie girl was really trying to have me do her, but she was so insisting it was obnoxius. Maybe a 6/10. The nightswim itself was a miss in my eyes.

Around 3am we left, had a shower and suited up(note that this is when I feel like a boss). Went to Drais afterhours, layout to get in was weird, there was a huge queue, it was in a car park and then we had to take an elevator, so we decided to do bottlservice. I found some aussies on the dancefloor and brought them over to our table. They stayed with us for a while. I was chatting up some girl from Arizona, in my eyes she was 9, hell i'd say 10. Asked her to dance and escalated. A few songs later we took a cab to my suite at the Encore where joe was sleeping(didn't know he'd actually left!) Told him to get out and I had the greatest bang of my life so far. She loved being submissed, and I love to dominate. Did her in the morning again while joe was getting breakfest.

I walked her out afterwards. She granbed my phone and put her number in, said we def had to bang again later that night. I sent her a text, never got a reply. Sent one a couple days later with the same result. What a shame.

Friday evening was closing in, we had a table at XS, deadmau5 was playing. I'm litteraly falling asleep typing on my ipad. Will continue tomorrow.

Welcome to one of the most amazing periods in your life. A time for rebirth

With that budget you will probably have some leftover money. Remember to don't give in into buying shit that does not matter.

Congrats on undertaking such a life-changing journey! What you have ahead of you sounds awesome.
One word of advice though: Like others have pointed out, it's easy to spend way less than those 60k, especially when travelling to cheap countries. Now I dont know your financial situation, but if those 60k are all your savings, you should keep in mind that it will be very hard if not impossible to go back to a regular 9-5 after a year like that. It would probably be easier to have some funds left after you come back home so you can allow yourself some time to figure out what to do next in your life.

Cheers
