Why do Passport sisters go to countries frequented by Passport Bros?

It's a multifacited answer but the short reason is If certain countries are looked favorably then more people will go there.

For example the so called "Big Five" Countries or considered sex tourist havens.


They're not the cheapest or easiest places to get sex. If you're down to risk it Haiti is a much easier place to get sex than the DR is but the DR with all it's problems is a better place to live.

I bushed the DR (which is easier to get sex for the free and the fee than Colombia) because Colombia has better infrastucture and less in your face corruption.

So short answer is all things considered its better to live in a place where you can drink the water than a place that you can't.

That's true if you're a Man or a woman.


The other main reason is because the Bros are there.

Community is important. I used to fly all the way to Meddellin to watch the NBA finals and the Superbowl.

If you go to another country you will be a "tether" and be treated as such so you want someone that understands you and your culture.


Finally less haters. I'll explain this in the opposite way. If all media that you consume calls Black women "Hair Hatted Hooligans" You'd develop a negative opinon of them or at least wouldn't want people to know that you associated with them.

Same thing in reverse if I media says that the average Black Man ain't shyt You'd want to give yourself plausible denialibity if you choose to associate yourself with them.


If you're a Passport Sis (Passport Bros and Passport hoes are not exclusively Black) The best place to find love (if you can get it is in europe) Far better to Trick on Nick in Sicily or Greece than in Kenya. Sure cost of living is more but you won't be checked as hard in public at least.


If you accept Kevin Samuels warnings and advice and go to Africa or Colombia or whereever You get a cool spades partner and when your (single) girl friends back home clown you for dating big Unc You can either say I'm his Spades partner and sometimes I accidentally fall on his dikk.


All that being said because of Unc's Options usually the Passport sis rather tricks on a local and be hypocritical when a Papa Smurf looking dude has a 25 BBL Queen on his arm.

Language learning Help


The best way to learn a language is to speak it.

You'd want to do this with people who know your language so that they can help you when you get stuck.


There's an app for that.

It's called Tandem

Tandem Aplicación de Intercambio de Idiomas | Encuentra compañeros de aprendizaje de idiomas

¡Encuentra un compañero de aprendizaje de idiomas en línea! ✓ Conéctate con otros estudiantes de idiomas ✓ Aprende de hablantes nativos gratis ✓ Únete a la mejor comunidad de intercambio de idiomas ✓ ¡Habla con fluidez con Tandem!

tandem.net

This is the Spanish version but they probably have the language of the country that you're going to.

This app connects you with native speakers so you learn slang and pronuciation.

This is a good app to have even if you never leave the country.


You can make legit friends off the the app who will help you when you touch down.

You go Ham on this and doulingo for 90 days and you'll have a decent handle on the language/

Wow



TLDR basically if you marry a foriegner and you can prove that it was a sham marriage on her part She doesn't get to Stay

That massively increases the leverage in the American's favor.

Pro Tip to bros in Medellin.

there's a meet up in Medellin group of Black American women wanting to meet up with fellow americans.

We saw that viral video of the big back saying that Brothers don't want Black American women.

Prove her wrong.

 

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

Those soldiers turn narcos have being blowing up shyt in Cali
Be careful out there

Those soldiers turn narcos have being blowing up shyt in Cali
Be careful out there

So people read the news. Yes there was yet another bombing in Cali seven people died no servicemembers.

Since |I have been in Iraq and Afghanistan the fact that a bomb went off in another part of town doesn't phase me as much. But I'd understand if people where leery.

I will say Medellin is locked down in a way that Cali is not. An FBA breh just opened a lounge that has a game night and you guessed it Spades.

But yeah in the DR no one is getting blown up.

Banking pro tip:

Since you have to use an american number when a Bank has an international and US number call the US number.

The international number won't work unless you have international minutes on your phone

So if you have AT&T international, T-mobile or Yolla call the US number.

I prefer Yolla because it's pay as you go. Unlike T-Mobile where you pay a certain amount every month whether you use it or not.

Remember you will only call your bank maybe a couple of times a year you can use what's app or Google voice to call residences in america for free you only need a US number for calling Hospitals Banks and the Government.

Doing research. I dunk on Ttravel Trick bums on youtube because they are lying ass liars.

But not all of them are Travel trick bums

The best expat life channel on Santo Domingo is abroad with Jay. There are some channels that will give you extensive cultural advice like Purely walking but on a How to move as a traveler I'd say Abroad with Jay is the best.

There's a couple other cool Black dudes in Santo Domingo that's cool too learn as much as you can about a place before you book. Hell it might actually make you change your mind on taking that trip to Chilligan's Island.


In Cali Andre of Love Across boarders is decent, His chick is in a way even better however she kinda rambles especially when warning people on how to avoid being drugged.


Nairobi doesn't really have a good channel there's that Divestor from ADOS Men channel and although I think Auston is a goofy He's been there for a while so he's as good as you're gonna get


Do NOT Listen to any of his Real estate advice

Blending in in the tropics.

The Tropical zone is Hot especially to people from Northern europe the East Coast of the us and Canada.

If you going to be hanging out on the beach then Basketball shorts tank tops and flip flops are cool.

But at night and off beach you have to dress a little bit more formally. I was denied entry to the gym once because I had on flip flops.

You can get away with a t shirt but a hawaiian style shirt is better and sweatpants like sweatsuit pants are better the kind they call Tracksuit bottoms in england. or Khakis or linen pants. obviously sweatpants and linen tend to pack down better and is lighter in general so you can fit more stuff in your luggage.

Way Back @ReggieFlare asked me to compare Africa to the DR.

I may do a deep dive soon but lets start with a comparison of Nairobi to Santo Domingo.

Obviously everyone speaks english in Nai so thats one major difference.

Acommodations are about the same price, Food is slightly cheaper in Nairobi

There's far more to do in Nairobi you can go ice skating at the Panari Hotel there's nothing like that in SD.

Weather is much better in Nairobi. however the drop off in intrastructure outside of the tourist zones is much steeper in Nairobi Poor people are much poorer in Nairobi.

Nairobi is a much more international city you would likely get better Mexican food in Nairobi than you would in Santo Domingo There's more varied places to eat in Nairobi. Don't let stereotypes get in the way.

If you're going on a smashcation it's actually easier to do that in Nairobi than in SD. Kenyan and east African Black women are "prettier" I reject that term because pretty women are everywhere. Unless you absolutely need a weave Then Nairobi has SD beat on that front. When Kenyan women wear weaves they look way worse than Afro Domincans and Afro Colombians with weaves but way more chicks in Nairobi where their hair natural there's no short wigs that I seen in Nairobi.

Almost no Afro Dominican women wear natural hair. The average Dominican will be more done up than the average Kenyan.

No BBL smell in Africa all natural bodies

More likely to get terrible customer service in Kenya but they will be much more apologetic about it.

Less power outages in Nairobi.

Average road is better in SD and traffic slightly better

More american brands in Santo by far.

Food safety standards slightly better in SD.

The Black Man's guide to a second passport

Granted A.I. Slop is usually cap but I thought I'd pass this on

Having a second passport does not require you leaving the us for good you can cop a second passport in case your american passport will get you in trouble in another country like traveling on an american passport in Venezuela right now

Or moving money to another country or something

Home and Land buying Tips abroad.

In most countries even ReMax and Century 21 agents require no special Licensing to be a Broker and there's no master list.

Your best bet is to hire all agents that do it full time and not as a side hustle. They get paid through closing cost which is almost always paid by the buyer. You can also check the tax office and bank lists for foreclosures.

An English speaking Full Time Real Estate agent will be your best friend. In some countries Africa especially titles can be faked or be disputed.

Kinda weird but since a couple people asked me I'll go into detail on clothing for travel.

My overall reccomendations is that unless it's 3 days or less you will bring back more than you take with you so If you can I suggest a full sized rolling softshelled suitcase.

Again you will likely pick up souvenirs so your clothes should pack down and be able to be hand washed and dried. You get wet and have no dryer ( some third world countries won't have these handy) so you better have breathable merino wool stuff handy

Again kinda weird but I swear by these underwear yes they're expensive but Trust me in worst case scenario's if you have only three pair of drawls and you have to hand wash them like Traci Ellis Ross you want XGO boxers
