Podcast number nine, Tom Torero. If I can say ho ho ho, happy Christmas this late, but I can say happy New Year. 2015, brand spanking new. May it be happy, healthy, horny, full of hotties and full of hobbies. So you get the balance. I'm emerging gradually, slowly from my hibernation, which has been Christmas with the family. Before that, it was weirdly in Dubai, is another story. And it was in Russia and Prague before that. So it's been time out from pretty much everything day game, but it was nice today to go out with a big group of familiar faces in London to do a bit of good old London daygame with the sun shining. And there's some boot camps coming up and I'm doing some travel and working on some projects. So all is good. And I thought I'd kick off this year with a podcast all about different cities around the world to do daygaming because that is a very common question. Which cities are the best for daygame? Or the usual form of that question is which cities in the world are the easiest for daygame? I is the Shangri La? Where is Pussy Paradise? So we'll come on to that topic. But it's going to be quite factual. And then I'm going to go through cities that I've been to all over the world to daygame in. And I'm gonna give you some observations, some stats on those cities, some truths about those cities. And hopefully, give you some ideas about where to take a little jolly or where to visit this year if you can. Because it's nice doing day game, obviously, in your city, learning all the ins and outs and getting familiar with it and learning the the craft of day game there. But for many reasons, which will come on to, it's great to take a little jolly, press refresh, get inspired, go after your kind of dream type if you've got a certain type of girl, and combine it with a little holiday with your mates, not doing it on your own like a lone wolf because that can be tough. So I'm gonna go through my list of countries and cities that I've been to. 2014 was a bit mental because even though my real year of travel was 2013. In 2014, when I said to my friends and my family, I wasn't going to do much travel. I ended up going to over 30 cities, I think for day game on four continents and spending the majority of the year out of The UK. So I didn't keep my promise of not traveling at all. But it was great. It was a lot of day game with students and with wings and lots of funny stories for another time. But this is why I feel confident in going through these places because I've seen them as a tourist and now I've seen them as a daygamer who's been with other daygamers. But remember the disclaimer obviously on this podcast is, these are my views of these cities. So perhaps if you live in these cities, you have a very different view obviously because you know them. Or you might go to some of these places and think, no, the girls were not my type of dream girl or you might have had a completely different experience. So remember, these are my views of the cities. But anyway, if I had to say hand on heart which city in the world I thought was the best daygame city, I would still say London, which surprises a lot of people. Good old London with its 8,300,000 permanent residents and its millions of tourists. And there's many reasons why London is the place to learn the craft of daygame. And this explains why daygame as we know it was really developed largely in London and in in New York as well, but largely London. And that's because it's so big, it's so transient, it's so anonymous, it's so mixed multiculturally and with all these visitors coming in, tourists, au pairs, nannies, students. Tourists remember not sometimes just coming here for two or three days, but you get girls coming here to study English for a couple of months or their au pairs for six months. Because we're so close to Europe or you could say we're in Europe, we have these Swedes and Poles and random Latvian girls and random Czech girls. And you just don't get that in North America. So London's got this beautiful turnover, this beautiful anonymity, is so important for passionate liaisons. It's it's year round suitable weather. I mean, we get the rain and stuff, but we don't get extremes of weather. It's pretty safe compared to other global cities. It's open minded and that it's not too conservative for religious reasons. And a really, really big one that guys forget is that London is pedestrian. You can walk around the center of London. You can cross the center of London in half an hour really. And all the daygame areas are joined up like we were doing today. You can just weave your way around and all the good stuff is there. Whereas in other major cities, there's pockets of places, but you have to take transport in between these. So you don't get this lovely hub. And so the counter argument, guys say to London being the best daygame cities that, well, London just doesn't have hot girls. That's you often hear that when you compare it to other cities like Moscow or perhaps Scandinavia. Well, the hot girls are here. You just have to look for them. You have to be patient. London's quite opportunistic. You can get lucky sometimes when you just turn that corner and there's a Brazilian girl. So you have to put in the hours in London. And it's not easy because it's got that big city feel where people are a little bit wary. If they've lived in London for a while, the barriers are up a little bit. But that's good in that if you learned daygame in London and you can do it in London, then you can pretty much do it in any other city. The same goes for New York. And in my mind, New York and London are kind of tied for the greatest daygame city. I think London pips it to the post. And I've only daygamed probably for a total of about two months in New York in my whole life. So if you're in New York, feel free to put in more info, correct me, come up with a city guide for New York daygame. But New York is an awesome, awesome pedestrian hub. It's pretty much the same population as London permanently, 8,400,000. We're talking about New York City here. And you've got these pockets of fantastic day game. As I'm sure you know if if you've tried it there, you've got starting at Union Square, guys weave their way down to Washington Square and to Soho where you get a lot of models to East Village, which is a bit more hipster ish. And then over to Williamsburg, which is ultra hipster ish. And the hotties are there. No doubt about it. New York has got a lot of models. It attracts a lot of the kind of media type of girls, the the girls that are there for business and finance and success. You've obviously got the tourists. It's not quite as mixed, I would say, as London, and it's quite as pedestrian because you've got a lot of areas, kind of like dead areas where you're walking between these pockets and you're you're not necessarily seeing the volume. But there's no doubt about it. New York City is a cool motherfucker of a city, And it's always a pleasure to go there, not just for day games. So if you're in North America and you really wanna learn daygame, I'd hit New York. Because they're really I mean, I feel not sorry for guys living in North America, but I think they're less lucky than guys living in Europe to learn this craft because of the distance in America for finding these great cities. So on the West Coast, most guys are hitting LA, which again is a mass sprawling city which needs a car except for the daygame Mecca of Santa Monica, which is small, but there's hot girls who are into yoga and green tea and fake boobies. They're all in Santa Monica, and the Mecca is obviously 3rd Street Promenade, I think it's called, which is a nice a nice pedestrian shopping area in Santa Monica. And you can weave your way down to Venice Beach, which becomes a bit more hippie. But there's lots of tourists, lots of local hot girls, and it's just got that fantastic Californian vibe. So I really recommend if you want some winter sun to go down to Santa Monica. Other guys hit shopping malls like The Grove. There's guys on Hollywood Boulevard doing their thing on tourists there and more rock and roll girls. And when the sun goes down, there's obviously completely different areas to game in. But New York does beat LA, in my opinion, for for game. Same with Miami. LA beats Miami. Because in your mind, you think, well, Miami models, beaches. But from the daygame I've done there at the beginning of 2014 and speaking to local guys in Miami, it seems that Miami is a night game city in that in these in these glamorous, glitzy bars and clubs. For sure, there are hot girls, again, with their lovely fake boobs and fake asses as well, weirdly, in Miami. But for daygame, it was even on the main pedestrian outdoor mall streak, which is called Lincoln Road. It was pretty patchy and pretty unreliable, inconsistent. So we ended up going to indoor malls. But if you live in Miami, please feel free to correct me. I'm sure there are other hubs and it's got enough people and it's got enough pull for pretty girls to be there. So Miami's there. And what else did we do last year? Austin, Texas. Guys go to Chicago. Most guys don't rate San Fran actually as a daygame city. I've been up to in Canada, I've done Vancouver and Toronto and Montreal. But compared to New York City or even Santa Monica, nothing really came close. And to make this fair, I need to spend more time in America to to get the vibe of these these other massive cities that are there. But most of this podcast is gonna be about Europe because that's where I've traveled and that's where I do boot camps and resis and whatever. So if you're in London, let's say, or you wanna fly into Europe and you want a bit of the old Shangri La, you want some pussy paradise, where would you go? Well, let's just touch on that concept of the Atlantis of daygame, the pussy paradise of daygame. Because it is sadly an urban myth that there's somewhere where the rules of the sexual marketplace don't apply where it's completely easy. If there was, it would be fantastic, but it would end up being a bit like Thailand or The Dominican Republic with a sex tourist vibe. So make sure you've got the daygame skill down, I'd say, in your local city or a city in your vicinity before you make these massive Mecca trips to other cities. Because there's a video on this channel where I talk about why daygaming abroad is harder. Watch that if you're not sure why going somewhere alone would be harder for your daygame. It's inspiring to travel. It's cool to go to all these places. But try and lock daygame down in your city with a wing, with some friends where where you're in control and you know the logistics, blah blah blah, before going to these places. So nowhere is it totally easy. Daygame's always gonna test you. But if I was to send somebody off in Europe, where would I send them? The first city I would send them outside of London is Prague in The Czech Republic. And students have confirmed this and other daygamers have confirmed this. Prague is bang in the middle of Europe, and it's a it's a melting pot. So it's not just Slavs. It's not just Czechs and Slovaks, but you get a really nice dose of Ukrainians and Russians and oddities like Kazakhs and Uzbeks. I mean, odd in the sense that you don't often find these girls to daygame in London. And in Prague, because it's a tourist city, you get all your euro tourists and girls on their euro trip from America. So with a city of like 1.3, I think it is, 1,300,000 people, yeah, local people plus all these tourists all the year round, bit chilly in the winter. And despite and even if you weren't going for daygame, it's a very beautiful city. It's a remarkable city. And I love it. I'm slightly biased because some of my family is Czech or Czechoslovak, I should say. There's a big daygame community in Prague, so you're always gonna see daygamers on that main shopping street, which is at the bottom of Wenceslas Square. It starts where the big New Yorker shop is and it's perpendicular to Wenceslas Square and it finishes at the shopping mall, which I think is called Palladium. Palladium. There's other little secret places in Prague, but Prague is reliable and the blowouts are not as harsh, you could say, as London or New York because it's got that slightly smaller city feel and the girls are more open minded to it. That's not to say go in the full way with girls is easier, but just that beginning bit is slightly softer for students. So go to Prague on a little jolly, budget airlines. You can do hostaworld.com or Airbnb or cheap hotels, whatever. Go to Prague. The second city I would say after Prague is Warsaw in Poland. And that's bigger than Prague actually, that's 1,700,000 people. Again, like Czech girls, Poles friendly, softer, you could say traditional with their Catholic values. But it's an underrated daygame city, Warsaw. And I've only been there once. But the boot camp I did there, no, it was a residential. We had really positive responses and the students did really well. So it's somewhere I'm going back to this year. A city that I know better than Warsaw is Stockholm in Sweden, Svenska, and that would be number three on my euro list if I was telling people where to go. Now, the bummer of Scandinavia is that these cities are less than a million inhabitants. And that is a problem for many reasons, which I'll come on to another time for solid, reliable, consistent daygame. I think a city has to be a million plus for this. Stockholm's got about 800,000, Oslo in Norway that's I think 600,000. So there's different problems you'll encounter with that. But no doubt about it, the girls are friendly in Stockholm. They are open in lots of senses. Sadly, not all the cliches are true, but make sure you do a bit of gutter game, night game there. It's lovely in the summer. And in the summer, you find a lot of Swedish girls in Oslo as waitresses, so you can do that as well. And it's just very relaxed. Amazing standard of of living. Bit pricier, pricier than Prague and Warsaw, but you'll have a lovely time in Stockholm. So those are the three cities I would focus on to begin with if you've never done a little euro joint. After that, you've got more Middle Europe cities like Munich in Germany. We did a couple of good boot camps there. That's 1,400,000 friendly vibe. Surprisingly hot girls actually. Beautiful Bavarian girls. It's more open minded than perhaps you think of Germany. And another little gem is Vienna, which is not so little because it's 1,700,000. You can forget your Austrian cliches because it's a lovely city. It's a relaxed city. And again, we ran boot camps there last year with an abundance of hot girls. It was a super hot weekend. That was the hottest boot camp I've ever done in Vienna. We sweated it out. Shout out to Troy. If he's there, Troy kind of hosted us for that boot camp and showed us around. But Vienna is great, and it's great for night night stuff as well. Many instructors say that. So don't overlook Munich and Vienna. Many guys hit Barcelona, in Catalonia, in Spain. We shouldn't say Spain, we should say Catalonia. They slap you if you say Spain. That's a big city with a beach, 1,600,000. Nice weather. But in my opinion, I I just didn't find my kind of girls or I didn't find the hotness that you find in Stockholm or Prague or Warsaw. Maybe I'm spoiled by the Slavs. They were a bit hippie ish, a bit grungy, the girls in Barcelona. I've heard good things about Madrid. I've not dug in there really. Where else did I go last year? To Lisbon in Portugal. Shout out to all those lovely daygamers in Portugal. Lisbon was just a bit small. Or actually, not just a bit small, very bloody small. So I saw Hot Girls. I've done a boot camp there. Excuse me. It's my winter cough. But it would be hard to hone your day game skills just in Lisbon because you're gonna be meeting the same girls. It's social circle stuff, blah blah blah. Nighttime in Lisbon, I've heard, is amazing. But correct me if I'm wrong. Anyway, where are we? We've done Munich. We've done Vienna. We've done Barcelona. Now, you can start to get a bit more adventurous. If you're into Slavs like me or something similar to Scandinavians, but a bit better on the budget, it's obviously gonna be the Baltics, which is Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. Former Soviet Union countries, so you get that kind of Russian look, but with the Scandinavian hair and the Scandinavian vibe, you could say. But the problem with the main cities, is Tallinn, Riga, and Vilnius, is that they're bloody small. And I've spent a lot of time in each of these cities. The most of my time has been in Riga in Latvia. That's got about 700,000 people. And I've done lots of residentials there in the summer because it's just a lovely place. All these places are beautiful in the summer with their kind of white nights and their lovely architecture and their cobbled old towns. But yet, you keep meeting the same girls, you keep meeting other daygamers. You'll add a girl on Facebook or whatever or go on a date with a girl and she'll know other girls that you've daygamed and it all becomes a bit complicated. And if you go there month after month or year after year, you'll you'll be a familiar face. But don't let me put you off because there were some very hot girls in all these places. Tallinn is tiny in Estonia despite it being one of the cutest, most beautiful medieval towns in the world. That's 400,000 people. Vilmius is getting more and more hipster each time I go. It's getting more and more western. So the girls were like proper tattooed up and shaved half of their hair. But if you like that kind of grungy stuff, Vilnius in Lithuania has got 600,000 people. But remember, there's 20,000 Lithuanians in London. So you can meet Lithuanian girls easily in London. They're based here's a little tip for you. They're based around Stratford in East London. There's a big Lithuanian community. So if you go to Westfield Mall in Stratford, you're gonna find Lithuanian girls. That's Tom's New Year tip if you're a Londoner. Now if you wanna get even more adventurous off the beaten track, bit more rough and ready, really save some money, but be prepared for, like, proper former Soviet Union vibes and hassles and sometimes visas and the complications, let's say, of the former Soviet Union, that you want to head to the Balkans. And you want to go to Serbia, which is going to be Belgrade. You want to go to Croatia, which is going to be Zagreb. And you can try Bulgaria, which I did last year as well, which is gonna be Sofia. Now Belgrade and Sofia are over a million, but Zagreb is under. So I would start with Belgrade and Sofia, but just just be wary. The disclaimer here for the Balkans is that the daygame is pretty tough. Okay? It's not friendly like Prague, Stockholm, or even Munich. You're gonna get the Russian minute. You're gonna get the stony faced reactions. You're gonna get gruff local men. You're gonna get it's gonna test your day game. And even when you're dating these girls, there, you get a lot of princesses. You gotta get a lot of iciness, which is just in their culture because underneath all that, as I talk about in my video, which deals with Russian girls, they're fantastic and they make really good girlfriends. But the day game is not easy and it's off putting to say the least. So I would only go to these places if you've if you've already traveled and if if you're convinced that, you know, you don't mind facing a bit of this. I spent a long time in 2014 in Russia, which has a real hard edge to it. Russia being this amazing enigma, which I still haven't worked out because even though, in my opinion, they're the hottest skills in the world, the price you pay just for your sanity, for your soul, for that loss of euro warmth is pretty big and it takes its toll on you Russia and the former Soviet Union, but still one of my favorites and it's up there as my top daygame destination. Personally, it's still Moscow with its 11 and a half million people and super hot girls. And I I've grown to love the culture. Saint Petersburg, I spent a lot of time there in the summer in 2014. That's a beautiful city. But bear in mind, both Moscow and Saint Petersburg, the daygame is not easy. There's visa nightmares. There's all sorts of, like, accommodation nightmares. Oh, the it's bloody pricey as well. I've I've moaned about that many times, but it's a commitment to go to those places because you can't go to Moscow for two days. Now I'm thinking two weeks minimum, more like a month or you're going to be revisiting it a lot and that has visa hassles. So that's personal taste just because I like the Russian look. But you might like the South American look. And I haven't really explored South America that much for game. But this year, I know for sure I'm going to Brazil. And I'm hoping to combine that with Argentina and Colombia. But there's loads of good reports coming out of South America about obviously Colombia, Medellin, I think that's how you say it. Bogota, which is much safer than it used to be. Buenos Aires in Argentina, I've heard amazing things about that for daygame. You've obviously got Rio and Sao Paulo in Brazil. And if you're adventurous, you'll be going to Chile as well. So let me know if you've done a lot of South American daygame because that's something I'm gonna focus on as well. But I think I'll leave it down. I'm just having a look at my list. For daygame Shangri La. Oh, yeah. There's one more, which doesn't involve visas and that gives you a taste of the Russian vibe, if that's what you're into. So if Riga is a bit small for you or Tallinn's a bit small for you, why don't you try Kyiv? Especially if if you're a European Union citizen, British passport holder, you don't need a visa for Kyiv, capital of Ukraine. Now when you say Ukraine to people at the moment, they go, oh, fucking hell, you know? Russians in the East, blah blah blah, dangerous. But Kyiv is actually I've been back last year and it's it's fine. Obviously, you don't wanna wave Russian flags around or start debating politics. But Kyiv on the whole is very safe. It's not the world's most beautiful city. There's something about it I don't like, and I've never been able to put my finger on it. But no doubt about it. You know Ukrainian girls are hot. There's a slightly sex touristy vibe of weird Internet dating going on. So try and avoid, you know, the kind of sleazy bars where that goes on. But the daygame on the main street in Kiev, which you'll recognize from the TV last year when they had all those protests in in the big square. The main shopping street continues off from that. Kyiv's big enough. It's got, I think, almost 3,000,000 or 2,700,000 people. It's it's got a big university population. So you could really dip your toe in the water there and see if you like it because the Former Soviet Union is a it's a it's a it's a taste that some people like, some people don't like. I'm just fascinated by that. But this year, I'm gonna be focusing more on the Balkans. Like I said, South America. I'll be going back to my old favorites. I'm going back to California to do some boot camps in February. The dates for those, for the LA ones are on my website, I think, but I'll put them below. Where else did I get last year? Dubai. That was a funny one. That's like daygaming in a bubble because it's pretty much the shopping centers that you're hitting. And you've got to be really careful there because of the religious dynamic and the legal dynamic you could say of the daygame in Dubai. But undoubtedly tourists go to Dubai, lots of Russians go to Dubai. We saw lots of lonely nannies and au pairs and cabin crew who were stuck there with Emirates. So Dubai is a little gem if you go through that area of the world. And I'm sure there's other guys who are more qualified to talk about Dubai than me. But to wrap up this Shangri La daygame city guide for 2015, I'll again stress the qualities of a city that I think you need to make it a bit of a daygame Mecca. And the first one I said, remember, is that it really should be over a million people to get that transience, to get that flow, to get that anonymity. Because anonymity is a key part of daygame if you're doing it in lover mode. That is if girls are having adventure sex with you away from the prying eyes of their social circle or their family who might be back home. So over a million people. It's gotta feel safe in that the girls are not going to be scared shitless when you approach them. That's why Paris is not on my list actually. I've just remembered if someone says, well, what about French daygame? Paris, I've heard lots of good things about Paris, but I haven't had great experiences there. And lots of the girls I've stopped or dated in Paris describe how they're quite scared when people stop them on the street because of the vibe of what other guys do in Paris in terms of street stops and hustles and hassles. So that's an issue. That was also an issue in Marseille. I went to Marseille with a guy called John last year. And it felt really dodgy, really seedy, and the girls were pretty afraid when we were talking to them. John stayed on in France and went to Nice, and he said that was a lot nicer, very gentrified and civilized with lots of hotties. So perhaps you could correct me. Anyway, what were we talking about? Oh yeah, the safety aspect. The weather aspect you've got to take into account unless you want to be doing minus twenty day game in Moscow or plus forty day game in Dubai. It's got to be open minded, so not too conservative. That's why Istanbul is not on my top 10 list because of the political religious dynamic, I guess, going on there. What else do you need? Lots of universities. That helps. If you've got lots of students, for obvious reasons, that gives the city a young, fluid vibe and lots of tourists. Not too many in the sense that it's like Disneyland and it's ruined by stag parties, but you want that through flow. You want that turnover. You want that opportunistic sex as well as those hotties that are gonna be girlfriend material. Anyway, you can tell I haven't done a podcast for ages because my throat is croaky, and I'm off to bed before the boot camp tomorrow. But I will be kicking off my videos very shortly and everything will start. Turning the wheels will be in motion for 2015 and daygame. I wish you all the best with your daygame and with everything else that you're you're planning to do, you're hoping to do, and all the stuff that balances the day game. Anyway, Thanks for listening, and speak to you soon.
