Touring Versus Building An Established Base
Most escorts “tour” which means they travel from place to place seeing new clients. The idea behind this is that you are the new woman in town, so should pick up some punters who want to try someone new. Although we all know that the biggest group of punters are those out and about on the road on business also doing their own spot of escort touring, some guys don’t travel and wait for new women to arrive in their area.
Sex workers stay at either hotels, serviced apartments or find a place to rent on the AdultWork “To Let” section.
Hotels are the most popular choice because it’s so much easier to extend your stay and not have to fork out too much in advance. Serviced apartments usually require that you book for at least one week, although some do offer shorter stays.
When looking to work from a serviced apartment, look for one that offers self check-in using a keybox. This means you will get a code to open the key lockbox on site and won’t have to meet anyone.
Serviced apartments usually cost around the same as a hotel, but hotels are easier to find to book for shorter stays.
It’s always better to check-in for shorter stays at a place you don’t know much about. It’s no good booking an apartment for a month only to get there and find the landlord lives next door and is in all day (rarely but it has happened). And the more apartments in the block, the more likely it is that you can stay discreet as there will be lots of people coming and going, if you see what we mean.
Whether it’s hotels or apartments, the bigger the complex/building, the better.
As for renting a place from AdultWork, chances are high that the neighbours will know what’s going on and don’t care too much.
Novel Ways Of Touring
There are even escorts who have their own (or you can hire) narrow boat and tour that way. They stay in one area on the canal and then move on and advertise themselves in different towns.
Some even have what is known as a “fanny wagon”; a large camper van they drive to different areas and tour that way. If that appeals to you, you could hire one out and see how it goes, although we aren’t too sure where you’d park up to offer your services. There was a programme on a few years ago which showed an escort doing this and stopping in laybys but that could be difficult if the plod stopped by for a chat! Mind you, in todays culture, they’d probably just ask you if you were in control of your earnings and want to see proof of residency.
Which is a good thing.
You could always say you are a swinger.
Building An Established Base In One Area
The great thing about staying in one area is that you can build up regulars who grow old with you. Sort of like a pension. :).
We all know that regulars can become demanding over time (we sack them when they start asking us to swing from the chandeliers), but you’ll get some great guys who come back to see you again and again because they are happy with you. Say it quietly but you can even become good friends with some of these guys. And by that time, hopefully you’ll be happy to see them in your home which will cut costs greatly. We know of older escorts who do dog sitting etc for their long term punters, and the older boys help out with some DIY. They even go for dinner – no charge!
At the end of the day, you can always build an established base in one place and also tour. That’s the great thing about sex work, the flexibility is unparralleled.
