I have found many great trade partners while traveling.

I had some success when I travelled. But now I'm completely home based so no need.

Not easy to coordinate in a country where one doesn't know the area and distances. It is usually one thing talking about it when you are at home, another thing when you get there and realise the interest has gone. The initiative should come from the host country's member(s) to make it happen.

Looking mature local
threerivers
Some success
As one member, 400 miles from me, commented, he had a better chance exchanging with me than the guy down the block. Many members just do not respond to my e-mails as I often hear the same from other members. Some members send me e-mails that end up just wanting porn pictures or they just want to connect on face time, etc, to have an encounter. Exchanging locally or on the road are equally challenging. Just keep trying.

Not an easy subject
I guess accommodation is an issue as usual

only one time as person was able to host; generally, have not found any exchanges will traveling as not everyone can host.

I haven't tried, but I suspect most of my exchanges will qualify as "traveling" based on the amount of inactivity that I see locally.

When moving house I was in a different area from home and did have a couple of meetings with excelent results as one choose to be a regular and has been for nearly a year. You don't know until you try!

I've made some connections, it just some guys are too much trouble to coordinate or won't respond but others I've had success that on follow up visits to those cities I've been able to exchange again.

I'm new to the site, but I was recently staying out of town for a week and reached out to a few folks that were local and made a connection. I had a very good experience - a very nice individual came by and we had a great exchange.
It sounded too good to be true, but it worked. Another one of the individuals I contacted was headed out of town the day after I contacted him - otherwise, we would've met up too.

I'm very happy with my first Mexican exchange partner but it's a two hour drive between us. Not exactly ideal. Maybe a travel link would be useful. Could be in the forum? You're doing a great job in here. Thanks.

I’m not a paid member so it makes hard to respond to any emails. So no success and pretty much a waste of time using this site. Very disappointed :(

Very rare to get any response from anyone. I would think a polite decline would be expected rather than people just not answering at all…

I've tried contacting prospective clients without success. Maybe they think I am too old. But my Chinese training is ageless. I would love to share my gift of giving a good massage.
JockSwimmer
Tried but no success
Many potential exchange inquires do not respond when the prospects of planning become more serious. I travel extensively, and would like serious exchange conversations and planning.   After all of that, of course, a real massage exchange would be rewarding regardless of the quality of the massage itself  !

I'm the one offering massages. There are always people in need.
DRH04

Most act like massage is some big secret and they cant let there wife or partner find out.when they cant host means there hiding something so I dont trust them
Steveson

Time consuming to organise , and hasn't always aligned to result in a swap. Some great swaps though and worth persisting with.

If I have ample lead time I have had great success, it is when I have a short lead time and little time in the place I am visiting that I have not has success. It has been wonderful to be visiting somewhere and get to enjoy others through massage sessions.

My gift of massage comes from the Lord . I am a Christian but believe massage is essential to our well being . Mutual massage is a great way to share my gift I have oil warmers facial massage tools use coconut oil and warm massage cream I have my own table you can come to my place

ValentineGuy
Sounds interesting, but I've never tried!
Most people are so overly-cautious anyway it's hard enough to make a local connection, even though they **joined a site to exchange massages**, much less with someone traveling, so I can't imagine it would be easy.

BestOnShow25

Have had success, the trick is give plenty of notice and be able to host. On a recent trip I had 6 responses ( pretty good!) but only ended up with one massage cause I couldn't host. ' Can't host' is a major obstacle when travelling apparently.

It’s harder but with proper planning it can be done.
[Private]
Some success
I found that I have to set up the rub before I traveled. Exchange names, and numbers is best. Yes I realize that there could be potential issues exchanging info, but you just need to go with how comfortble you are with things.  This also works better, because yes there are alot of people, but check out their login in counter. Alot of folks don't  checkin regularly. Everybody I have had at my hotel rooms for massage has been good, as we were very comfortabke with mutal nudity, again set up before meeting.

Having the massage in my hotel room really helps.

After months of trying got very few responses to my emails. One requested a massage for that night which happened to be the only night I went for a nice dinner by myself so did not get the message until the next morning and it was too late.

I have had a couple trades, but usually when I travel. I can't host regularly at home.. Philly area has lots of paid therapists, but I can't always afford one.

Retired now but travel from Pa to NM every year with overnights in 4-4 major cities, like OKC, going out & back.So I have no problem driving 200+ or so miles, for a friendly Massage Exchange or a give only one for a Female, :)

When travelling I generally can provide accommodation which solves the all-too-common "neither can host" problem when at home.

It takes some coordination and many fall through but some happened and they were wonderful

Often it is easier to arrange an exchange when travelling because I have my massage table with me in the car and we use my hotel - hosting can be the tricky bit to arrange.

HugWizard
Some success
If I've been active and had recent reviews and plan ahead, I've had some success but it's a challenge. Women get so many messages (including creepy ones) that they often stop responding - I've had several times when they've indicated interest and then didn't check their inbox until I'd left or there was no window to meet. It's just a reality of the site/community.

Once connected it's far easier to repeat (duh) but for 'regular guys' it can be a crapshoot. I don't take it personally - I just try to have good pictures and be transparent and fun in my communications.

I travel locally 30-40 mile range, but I have had some awesome exchanges with visitors traveling to the DFW Metropex. Most of the visitors are executives traveling for conferences, business meetings, company training, flight attendant layovers, but they usually have a short window of opportunity for exchanges, so scheduling is really the only challenging part with travelers. When our schedules line up, it's always a great exchange.

TantricTamer4u

Found a longer lead time s required, as activity for locals in areas can be stagnant and not checking for. Connections often; therefore makin travel connects harder. Also see that places I travel; massagers are only looking for locals only.

I’ve been contacted by several guys traveling in my area. Their method is to contact everyone and choose one after a lot of back and forths.. Great for them, a waste of time for all but the chosen one.

Pre-pandemic - Very limited - depends also on what country as some (like the US) has lots of possibilities whereas others (like Singapore or the UAE) do not. Had kinda given up and just try to source locally when there... That being said have not traveled Internationally for 2 years now for obvious reasons. Hopefully one day soon.
luvingmassage
Some success
In my experience, most people are only interested in local massages, within 50 miles or less. They are wanting to find regular massages and are afraid of traveling male massagers. Also, as others have mentioned, nobody can plan ahead, and it's hard to find recent log ins. I have had 8 travel massages from this site in 5 years during about 12 weeks of travel.

I rarely have a long lead time to be able to set things up in advance. So success has been limited. But the times when I have connected make the effort worth it.

When I am going to be traveling I try to start looking around about 2 weeks before hand, Over the years I have managed to setup 7 different meets. Out of the 7, 4 turned into ghosts and 3 worked out to be very pleasant, and relaxing, encounters.

It has happened. There has been a few passing through London. Some don't turn up or get better offers. Helpful hint on successful communication might help. Giving no notice and expect you to be free is not a recipe for success. Understanding travel times across London is helpful too.
