If you have dreams of traveling the world with the right person at your side, sugar dating for travelers might be for you! Let’s talk about how to find your ideal travel partner, safety tips, and ways to make your next vacation unforgettable!
Sugar Dating on a Global Scale
Sugar dating hasn’t only grown in popularity in your city, it’s become a trending dating style all over the world! In fact, as of 2022, one single sugar dating platform claimed that it had 36 million active members all over the world.
That means that whether you want to find a local sugar partner who will join you on your travels or you’d rather meet someone local at your destination, you’ll have no problem. The trick is being mindful of how you plan your trip and the guidelines you set up to boost your chances of everything going off without a hitch.
Finding Your Traveling Sugar Partner
Once you’ve decided that international sugar dating is for you, how can you go about finding the right partner to sit next to you in first class?
Using Reliable Platforms
In order to find a sugar partner who is serious about traveling, it’s important to rely on a platform that has a good reputation. In particular, you’ll want to make sure that the platform you choose checks the following boxes:
- A large, active user base. You can take a look at website data trackers to make sure that the platform you’re interested in has active users. For instance, SugarDaddy.com welcomed over 1 million visits to the site in the last month alone.
- Identification verification. You’ll want to stick with sugaring sites that have a form of identification verification to lower your risk of interacting with bots.
- A reputation for both short-term and long-term relationships. We’re not saying that you can’t find a travel partner on a sugaring site known for short-term hook-ups. But in general, the sites that have built a reputation on more long-term or serious arrangements will give you a better chance at success.
Attracting Travel Partners
After choosing your sugaring platform, make sure you tailor your profile to attract fellow travel-loving partners with the following steps:
- Write a captivating tagline. You’ll want to be clear about looking for a travel partner in your tagline by saying something like, “I look great in first class” or “Looking to wake up in Aruba with the right person”.
- Use pictures that show off your travel lifestyle. All of the normal rules of a good profile picture apply (i.e. high-res photos, genuine smiles, etc.) but you can attract other travelers with pictures of your last vacation.
- Scatter keywords throughout your bio. Make sure that you pepper in the right words in your bio, including “travel,” “adventure,” “explore,” “destination,” and more.
Communicating Effectively with Potential Partners
If you’ve set up an intriguing travel-centric profile, you’ll start to get attention from potential sugar partners. Here are a few ways that you can transform initial interest into actual plane tickets.
Negotiating Terms and Expectations
Just as with any sugar relationship, the initial getting-to-know-you phase should be followed up by the negotiation phase. Here are a few things to keep in mind when thinking about sugar dating for travelers:
- The length and date of the vacation.
- Travel costs: plane tickets, checked luggage, accommodations (more on this in the next section).
- Pre-travel shopping trip. It’s not required but it’s a nice touch to treat a sugar baby to a shopping trip before the vacation to buy swimwear, outfits for dining, and other excursions.
- Will intimacy be included?
- How much time will be expected together vs solo?
- Will the trip be more focused on leisure or adventure activities?
The point of the pre-travel negotiation process will be to increase your likelihood for a smooth, stress-free trip. This will be the time for you both to talk about what you’re like as a travel partner and how you can accommodate the wants and needs of the other person.
Managing Finances and Logistics
As a sugar daddy, you’ll want to have a well-planned budget and itinerary that will ensure that both you and your sugar baby are comfortable and happy from start to finish. Here are a few things to keep in mind.
Planning and Budgeting for Travel and Meetings
Before your trip, plan out a draft itinerary that you’ll run by your sugar partner. Things to include should be:
- Transportation to and from the airport.
- Transportation to the hotel.
- Hotel accommodations.
- Meals. If you’re going to be traveling for work and have some of your meals covered during your meetings or conferences, you’ll need to make sure that your sugar baby is well cared for in your absence.
- Any extra excursions, such as wine tasting, horseback riding, massages, or guided tours, you want to do together or separately.
- Shopping during the trip.
Arranging Accommodations and Transportation
One thing that many sugar daddies wonder about is what is the standard for arranging transportation and accommodations. Here are a few special considerations to keep in mind:
- Airport transportation. Unless otherwise stated, a sugar baby will typically assume that all transportation will be covered from the moment they leave their house at the start of the trip to arriving home safely once the vacation is over. This may include sending a private car or arranging for a ride-share service.
- Transportation during the trip. If your sugar baby will be spending time alone while you’re in meetings, make sure that transportation is arranged if requested.
- Accommodations. Whether you and your sugar baby share a room is something that you’ll need to discuss ahead of time. Keep in mind that many sugar babies appreciate having alone time that they can use for personal grooming, decompressing, and getting ready to look their best for your time together.
Ensuring Safety and Privacy in International Settings
No matter if you’re traveling with someone you know well or meeting up with a sugar partner in your destination, there are a few ways that you can ensure everyone’s safety and comfort during your trip.
Establishing Clear Boundaries
Certain agreements and precautions will help keep you safe and on the same page while you’re traveling, such as:
- Having a form of communication between you, such as an international phone plan.
- Knowing what to say in the case that you run into someone you know.
- Setting a daily spending limit.
- Talking about the role of alcohol or other substances.
- Allowing for alone time if one of you requests it.
Researching Local Customs and Expectations
There are certain local customs, laws, and practices that everyone who is sugar dating while traveling should look into, including:
- Religious practices. If you’re going to a very religious country, such as certain countries in the Middle East, you’ll need to be aware of laws surrounding unmarried couples, public displays of affection, and more.
- Safety concerns. Before you travel, you should look into safety guidelines so that you can avoid putting yourself or your sugar partner in a potentially dangerous situation. This may include avoiding certain areas or not wearing flashy clothing in districts that are unsafe.
- Health concerns. Even though you may be staying at a luxury resort, you may need to take special precautions, such as opting for bottled water or not eating certain foods with a high risk of contamination, if you leave the hotel.
Additional Safety Tips
- Share travel plans with family or close friends. Both you and your sugar partner should share your flight info, itinerary, and hotel details with your family or someone you trust. It’s also a good idea to periodically check in with them during the trip to make sure that everything is going well.
- Make sure that you never leave the hotel without a list of emergency phone numbers, identification, emergency cab fare, and the address of the hotel. Having a physical list of information that you can carry in your wallet can come in handy in case your phone dies.
Next Steps When the Trip is Over
So, you’ve come back from your vacation with your sugar partner, and you’re ready to process! This is a great opportunity to reflect on what worked, what you would change for next time, and whether you would travel with this partner again.
Some questions you may ask yourself could be:
- How comfortable did you feel with this sugar partner?
- Were there many awkward silences? Did the conversation feel forced and uncomfortable?
- How did you navigate potential challenges and changes in the plan?
- Do you think that the benefits that each partner brought to the table were balanced and equal? For instance, did the sugar baby provide the level of companionship that you feel justified the expense of the vacation?
- What were your favorite parts of the trip?
- What do you wish you could have done differently?
- Did the length of the trip feel appropriate?
- What would you change for next time?
This kind of post-vacation assessment is a great way to make every experience of sugar dating while traveling better than the one before!
