Back in January 2023, I was chilling in Pereira, Colombia, enjoying the holiday vibes and living in a budget-friendly Airbnb for a month.

Pereira is a gem, nestled in the coffee region and close to Manizales, Armenia, and Salento. It’s perfect for learning Spanish, savoring the local lifestyle, and exploring nature. Oh, and I had a “friend with benefits” nearby.
As my Pereira adventure was nearing its end before my Medellin trip, I crossed paths with a girl on Facebook dating(For what is Facebook dating?). We hit it off instantly and decided to exchange WhatsApp.
She lived in Armenia and worked as an interior designer. And she was really passionate about cosplay.

When I mentioned that I’m Chinese, she found it intriguing. I was curious, so I asked why. Her response was refreshingly direct: “Me gusta, me enciende, ademas ustedes hablando sucio,” which translates to “I like it, it turns me on, and you guys talking dirty.”

Things were heating up quickly, so I took a bold step and suggested we meet that very day. My place in Pereira was conveniently close to the bus terminal, and it would only take her about an hour and a half to get here.
At first, she hesitated, preferring to meet in Armenia. Also she offered to host me at her place, showing genuine interest. However, I had to clarify that meeting in Armenia wasn’t an option because I was leaving in just two days. I also mentioned that I had plans for the evening, so the only suitable time for us to get together was in the afternoon.
Plus, there was a security concern. I didn’t want to invest so much effort or make a significant commitment for someone I had only met online.
So, I made the decision to have her come to Pereira instead. Convincing a girl to take such an adventurous journey to meet someone she’d never met in person was indeed a challenging task, but I believed that anything is possible, right?
I shared my apartment’s address, which was a stone’s throw from the bus terminal, and sent her a video and photos to give her a sense of the place. Luckily, She thought my apartment was cute.

As a final seductive move, I sent a shirtless gym photo. This seemed to seal the deal, as she was seriously considering coming over and even double-checked the address with me.

To make our connection even stronger, I finally shared my Instagram with her. Looking back, I probably should’ve done that sooner.
I texted her, “Si quieres podemos vernos después de las 2 pm aquí, me gustaría mucho conocerte” (if you like, we can meet after 2 pm here, I’d love very much to know you).
She replied, “a mi tambien a ti” (I’d love to know you too), confirming her agreement to come over.
She mentioned that she hadn’t had lunch yet, and I promised her that we could either have lunch at my place or I could give her something to eat and surely I did. I am a gentleman, right?
Before she left, we had a video call to ensure there were no surprises or catfishing. She was happy with the call and explained that she would be riding her own motorbike.

Around 3:40 pm, she texted me that she was on her way. An hour later, she sent a photo showing she was close, and we finally met.

She looked like a real-life fairy with a calm vibe and long flowing red hair. I took her to my apartment and made her some hot tea. I asked her if she was really hungry, suggesting we could go grab a meal right now. However, she replied that she was fine and could eat later.
I understood what it meant, so we continued chatting about her job, her life in Armenia, and her preference for Asian guys. Unfortunately, there aren’t many Asian guys in Armenia, which is why when she saw the opportunity and learned I was leaving in 24 hours, she immediately decided to come over.
I couldn’t help but find it adorable, so I leaned in for a kiss, and she responded passionately. From there, everything unfolded naturally, and she certainly had a talent for, well, let’s say eating. Maybe she was just hungry in another way.
Afterwards, I decided to take her out to a fancy restaurant. When someone goes the extra mile to be with you, it’s only right to treat them, right?
We headed to one of the fanciest places nearby, and she was overjoyed.

That’s the story of a girl driving over an hour just to spend time with me.
It’s not about bragging but about sharing the experience and how I managed the logistics to make it happen. If you want the detailed chat log, you can check my personal blog.
YOLO!
