Would you????

Are you that greedy and clueless to consider street ho'ing in bumfucking tijuana during a holiday?
well that woman (not women) who was "stuck" in Mexico was not even a prostitute, she was a crook who had been in the country and working illegaly for many years, and was caught on fraud charges involving a multi-million dollar scam.
Don't compare something big involving money laundering of huge amounts of money with a small-time and naive (sorry Danika, no offense meant) escort who's just curious about whether or not she can work on her paid holiday.
Whatever you do, don't get busted in Mexico... It will be 100X worse than anything in Canada. Mexican authorities can make shit up to bust you. My hubby was arrested years ago for slamming a pay phone down. 2 months in jail for vandalisim is what they COULD HAVE given him. Pay them on the spot for the fine, they let you go. Don't have the cash, off to jail you go.
Big or small, it is illegal to work outside of your own country without permission, like a work visa, just as it is illegal for tourists/students to work in Canada without the right paperwork. (Refugees aren't allowed to work, btw).
The US border guards get real cranky when people come into their country and they suspect them of coming in to work, they pull you aside and start grilling you (nicely). I've seen a guy going down for a legitimate job who just didn't have all his papers right, and they would not let him thru. Someone else made the mistake of having a resume on them, stupid ass. Two 20 somethings in the company of an older black woman were held up (they were americans) and the guards took their cell phones, probably trying to find evidence of illegal activity (like sp-ing in Canada??). You know they're just looking for their cut (unpaid taxes).
If it's work, no matter what, it's illegal unless you've got the paperwork right.
Good for you, D, for going to school. When you travel, try to see all the sites, so that you have memories that you can share. Both areas are interesting and have long histories, if you take the time to venture out there. Get a few words of Spanish, too, altho it's unlikely you'll encounter many who don't speak English that close to the border. And don't go to T without your client, no matter how easy it is to get there on your own
Anica,Ya...........................whatever
I meant it in the "grand scheme of things". I am talking dollars and cents, not "small-time" in the sense of someone's personal worth or her perceived status in the SP world. Danika appears to me to be a very nice and well-centered girl, who seems to offer great services and I honestly like how she carries herself (at least here on PERB, she's always been on my list of girls that I appreciate as far as her postings are concerned)
My comment was just geared to defuse a situation where you were comparing a situation that landed a crook in jail, with a hypothetical situation that Danika was asking about... pardon me, but those are 2 things in completely different leagues.
Anyhow, I think the point is mute now... since Danika has now seen what to expect when it comes to the Red-Light District in good 'ole TJ.
Too bad, it would have been funny and interesting to read Danika's posting after her "working abroad" escapade and discovery.
San Diego is a nice, place, I have been there a few times, last time I was there was 4-5 years ago. When I was there, traveling around, I kept thinking I was in a Leave it to Beaver episode, some parts of downtown had me feeling I was in the 1950's. Then, driving out in the hills, I could see where the Rockford Files were filmed, you know, those car chase sceens around the hills in the 1970's.....
Yes SD is a nice place, and people I met there were relaxed......

Working in an illegal industry in a high risk environment in a foreign country.
Money's not that important. You are asking people to endorse a plan to put yourself at physical, legal, and psychic risk (Not the Miss Cleo sense - the clinical sense.)
Say the whole plan out loud to yourself and see if it still makes sense.
If it still makes sense then ask Brenda Martin how many times she thought of suicide languishing in Mexican prison. You better question your better judgement. You know nothing about what you are getting into in the less civil parts of Mexico. Even in the States you are offered little protection as an illegal alien. A cousin spent two years in U.S. jail for buying a couple joints while on vacation. He's on meds for the rest of his life from the nervous breakdown he suffered while in there. Not ever being allowed back into the States is the least of his problems.
Go with your benefactor. Don't insult him by working on the side while you are there, even if he thinks he is being gentlemanly and telling you it's all right. Have a good vacation and come back and resume business as usual.
Daft idea.

Tiajuana? You must be out of your mind...!
You are crazy to even think of trying to work in Mexico.... it's a third world country for Christ's sake.
You have no idea what you're contemplating. Just take a holiday...

I must say I do need to spend more time researching and travelling to become more worldly...
I can laugh at my geography knowledge is close to zero, because I know I'm constantly learning...
I'm scared to attempt to work on my travels now, I had better just stick with Superman
anyways thanks for all the advice people!
