Touring, How to make the effort worth the cost?

I've found that in some cities, especially cosmopolitan ones where tourism is a main draw, there are lots of really charming independent 3 and 4 star hotels that are competitively priced in relation to the more well known hotel chains. They can be booked for less than 100/night. Or even as little as 75-80/night with advanced planning. Hotels.com and other travel sites really changed the game. Even if I don't book through them and I ended up booking direct, their format is great for getting a pretty good sense of what options are available in a particular city I'd like to visit.

There is a difference between 'touring" and taking a "vacation". With planning I can stay at 3-4 star hotels for $100-$150 per night. You can buy everything in the Well and mixers for $40-$50 (Three Days & Nights) Snakes!

Food Snakes: $75-$100

I come up with a loose 800 a night in combination. assume 50 for food for the day if I do not go 4-5 star. 250 for a room a night (even at the business class hotels a suite, or room big enough to entertain not just on the bed, is going to start at 250) In Houston. As I am hosting it is only respectable to be the person to offer refreshments for each evening (One bottle of wine each evening under the assumption that I only see one client each evening) Of course the gentleman is spending a decent sum so offering him a bottle of 20 dollar throw away wine isn't particularly fair on my part. So assume at least another 100 (if I don't wish a sweeter variety of wine for myself if so I would add in another 80) in refreshments. And cost of being away from home overnight (childcare) roughly comes to 100 dollars every 18-24 hours. Now if I chose a smaller more cramped room I could certainly bring my hotel cost down to 150-200. If I nixed a meal or two here and there (certainly wouldn't hurt my waist any) I could probably save another 40 a day. I could also cut corners on the refreshment and pretend a bottle of La Lejania Chardonnay 2012 is a bottle of nicer fair but I really am not comfortable with that. Like any good financial planner I like to give myself some wiggle room for all of the above. So I add in another 100 to 200 dollars a day for emergency money. If we keep to the smaller numbers yes I can drop my costs down to 300-500 but even then a single appointment if it were not over two hours would barely be worth it for profits sake.

I'd want to book a dinner date, so your food cost goes down. So, from a professional woman's point of view, I'm what you might call a cheap date.

Keep me in mind, in case you develop an inexplicable urge to tour northeast Indiana! It's a glamour destination!

Pick a place you might like to vacation. You might see how many providers are already in the local area (i.e. Competition) and local rates. Then if you still want to go anything you make from the hobby is a ++.
Too bad the business it illegal. Imagine all the cost you could write off.
Hmm, I must be a low class perv. I have never stayed in a $200+ hotel room or Bed and Breakfast in all my years. Maybe I'm just tight. Marriot, courtyard and such any state is the nicest I have been. Usually around $100+ per night. Suits me.
If I was a provider ... $250-300 seems to be going rate for non-elite markets minimum 2 clients per day -$500 donation- hotel, gas and food expenses $200/day =$300/day non taxable profit. For 2 hours of entertainment.
5 days= 10 hrs = $1,500. I could live well on that.
Now, want to do overtime'?
4/day= 4hrs/day x 5 = $5,000 - same expenses since that does not double = $4,000/ wk.
Now that is comfortable living! For a regular ole working stiff.
But, ats jus me.
And I ain't there for no $100 wine ladies. Your beverage is not a selling point for this ole Cowboy. Ain't there for no social call and we ain't dating. Don't much care if you don't remember my name in the morning. Unless of course I may need a reference for the next provider.
Maybe some guys want all the frills and make believe they are in a relationship but I think most of us are there for well, strange pussy. Just want to be entertained by a lady that knows her way around in the sack. Not donating for life counsel or make a connection just want to bust a nut a time or two and resume real world responsibilities.
Thank you for the service and outlet that you 'provide' for a 'donation' for your time and anything that happens is just between two (or more) consenting adults.
I for one sincerely appreciate the outlet that hobbying offers. It is a necessity for me. One I barely can afford and try to limit my activities to limited expendable income resources. So 1 bad session usually equals one bad month for this ole working guy. Hobbying is an investment to me. It's worth it when it goes good but then when it goes bad it is just another stress point.
Pretty lady, nice tits, bbbjtcim, msog offer, sex talk (not the 'here are the rules' talk which is a major hardon depressor but open discussion about sexual topics that wives consider off limits) maybe a little kinky Greek or something slightly unoffered in s o sex = Oh Yeah! THAT was nice grin walking out.

Cowbay,
I think she is a high class hooker lol.

The rates determine that I guess.
Plus she will have a bottle of cheap wine for you to sip on while the clock ticks down.

Jaycee,

Stick to your guns!

Seems sorta obvious to me that some posters above may not comprehend the differentiation(s) from provider to courtesan.

Indeed, imho, very few true courtesans appear on this site very often. But I am not denying that many ladies here offer what I'd definitely class as "courtesan-level" quality way beyond the dampened washcloth (if that) amenity that usually accompanies the qv/bng/hh standards of some.

That said, perhaps before you decide anything based only on travel costs, you should first gauge market demand for courtesan level opportunities in your value bracket.

For example, my assumption is that a visitor such as you could likely do well in high-dollar markets such as NYC, Las Vegas, even a Houston, especially if your visit was timed to coincide with "high-dollar" convention times such as the OTC in Houston, or the CES in LV.

Obviously you would utilize many selective marketing and advertsing resources. One of which some local (San Antonio in this instance) ladies have told me is Eros.com and possibly AshleyMadison and certainly P411 and others of a more localized nature.

And, if you would ever consider an Austin or San Antonio tour, I suggest merely posting in the coed forums a bit so folks could get a better sense of your persona.
Start promoting in cities and states .Indpendendent contractor no guarantee money and business.Business want to make prophet.Business expense you paying for it all. Sex workers and hobbyists giving you advice about traveling work.Now it's up to you business owner.Best wishes
