How Far Do You Travel For Work?
Hi Ladies,
A few months ago, I left a club that was spiraling downwards and have tried working at two other clubs in the area with no luck. I am in the Baltimore area and have no idea where to go now. The club I was at, I cannot go back to, and the two other clubs either take half of everything you make or require drink tickets with a high house fee. Both Philadelphia and West Virginia are roughly 2 hours one way. I'm starting to feel defeated, and I wanted to know if anyone had any advice and also how far you travel. I know I don't post much but I can't tell you how much this forum means to me...it has helped me in my darkest times, and I am hoping it can help me again. Thank you all.
Re: How Far Do You Travel For Work?
Sorry you're going through that! Two hours is a pretty long distance... Is it possible for you to make weekend camming trips, and stay at an Air B&B or something?
I travel less than an hour to work, since there are a lot of clubs in my area. However, earlier this year I lived in a rural town where the only decent clubs were an hour away. I refused to drive that far because of gas costs and being worried about driving while exhausted after a long shift. But for some people, it's worth it.
Re: How Far Do You Travel For Work?
The drive to my club is around 50 mins. I sympathize with you, and I don't really know what to tell you because I find my commute to be draining. There are no upscale clubs in my area, so the drive is worth it but it does suck.

I would consider the above^
If I get hired @ the club I want, it will be a 1hr ea way.
Also, there's a couple clubs that are even further that I'm considering..so yea for me, looking @ cheap motel or air bnb, possibly CL but I had shitty roomies from there so that's a big if.
Good luck

Anywhere from ten minutes -didn't last too long, too close for comfort. An hour is ideal. Two to three hours for Pitts strip trips on occasion.
Re: How Far Do You Travel For Work?
I just realized I said "camming" in my post above. Just to clarify, I meant stripping! It's been a long day lol :)
Re: How Far Do You Travel For Work?
I'm in the Philly burbs drive about 45 min.
Re: How Far Do You Travel For Work?
I used to travel a lot when I danced. For the last 2 years I worked a lot at a place that was 2 hours away, I found cheap place to stay and got a deal with hotel, I did Weds- Sat for awhile or sometimes just the weekends.
Re: How Far Do You Travel For Work?
I used to dance in Baltimore - can I ask which club you are talking about? I can give recommendations. There is a lot of money to be made in that city. Public transportation is an option too- you could work in DC or Nova (take the amtrak + metro) until you find something better. I danced in W. VA too, and rent is cheap there. You could rent a cheap room and air bnb your place for the weekend. I love the DMV/ W. Va. Lots of options there
Re: How Far Do You Travel For Work?
I drive 7 minutes...5 if there's no traffic and I hit all green lights. Odd I know but I've had no problems. I'm lucky
Re: How Far Do You Travel For Work?
My drive takes usually 40 mins (going home, with no traffic)... but it can be up to 1:15 (going TO work, with all the traffic). I don't mind the time taken so much, but I hate dealing with traffic & it's really a LOT of mileage on my car which I realllllllllllllllly hate.
I'm guessing you don't wanna be a full-on traveling dancer gone several days a week... Could you stay just one night over? Then you at least get 2 shifts out of the drive. I've done that before with working a night shift & then a day shift so I'm only gone ~24 hours. It's actually kind of helpful for staying in stripper mode as well.
Re: How Far Do You Travel For Work?
I drive an hour and a half.

Yeah, there are a lot of clubs in my area, too, but they're really bad.... I think I might need to stay at an Air B&B. That's a very good idea! :)

Haha, I saw that, & thought you meant to include it in, as, take puter/cam with & do that too!^
Re: How Far Do You Travel For Work?
I now drive about 1 1/2 hours. I actually meet my friend and she drives the rest of the hour. Worth it, I bank at the club every night on the weekends and I like the rules and whole set up. Plus good management and low drama.
