I think my experience with AFA is a little different than most others in that I actually moved to the lady's country, lived there and married her there and continued to live there for several years. My name is Joe and I attended AFA's tour to Lima Peru several years ago. It was my first trip to South America and I expected a unique experience and was not disappointed.

After arriving at Lima's very modern airport, I was driven to my hotel which was a 21 story luxury hotel in the middle of the tourist district. My hotel was very safe, comfortable, and convenient. On this tour, you didn't have to worry about anything but meeting the ladies and going on dates. Everything else was taken care of. Supermarkets, drug stores, restaurants, and entertainment venues were everywhere.

The next morning I went to the office which was only a 5 minute walk from the hotel and met several of the other guys on the tour and the office manager. The guys were all very excited to be here and asking questions.

Later that evening we (the guys and translators) met on the fifth floor of the hotel and had a quick orientation, then took the elevator up to the 21st floor. We stepped out of the elevator and suddenly we were face to face with dozens of beautiful Peruvian ladies. All of them were dressed very well. You could tell by the way they were dressed that they took this event seriously.

As the ladies were getting signed in and directed to their tables in the ballroom, we stayed in the hall and talked to our translators. I talked to one lady for a few minutes and asked her to translate for me.

Finally we were let in. You sit down at a specific table for 15-20 minutes, then a bell rings and you and the translator get up and go to the next table. I found it to be an effective system. This way you are not allowed to hang back against a wall trying to gather your courage to approach a woman at a table. Here you have the excuse to meet her along with the other ladies at the table. The AFA staff did an excellent job with keeping the guys moving from table to table.

My own general style when I sat down at the table was not to quiz the girls but introduce myself and let them ask me questions and have a discussion and then see which ladies were most appealing. However, you will notice that some ladies will try to monopolize the conversation and keep your attention on her. So be aware of that and try to talk to the more shy ladies as well. During the socials the purpose is generally to get to know which ladies you would like to take out later. I collected phone numbers, emails, and photos so I could identify them later if I forgot who it was I wanted a date with. You are meeting so many ladies at one time; it is easy to forget who is who!

The rest of the tour I went on several dates and saw parts of the city. The AFA office staff was very professional and assisted with which restaurants to eat at, places to go, and helped coordinate my dates by calling the ladies and arranging times for us to meet.

On the last few days of the tour I had a great time but hadn't met that special lady yet. But I was very satisfied with the experience and had 20 or more emails and phone number of ladies I planned to follow up on after I returned home.

During this time another translator from the tour was taking me around the city and asked me to visit her language school since her students had never meet an American. So we went there on the last day of the tour and there I met my future wife Angelica. Ironically she was at the 2nd social but I did not make it to her table so I didn't meet her that night. However, at the school she had my full attention and we hit it off quickly and started corresponding after I returned to the US. A year later, after several other trips to Peru to visit her, an opportunity arose for me to live in Peru.

Our relationship was very strong so I moved there and we were engaged several months later.

Living in Peru wasn't as different as one might imagine. Along with my future wife I had other people assisting me in finding an apartment, learning the culture, and keeping up to date with travel visa requirements. If you have a good grasp of Spanish, you will find that life is generally 80% the same as in the US. People get up, go to work, come home to their families at night and do recreational things during the weekend. People make less there, but many things are much cheaper and the expense of one of more cars is not necessary since public transportation is cheap and widespread.

We now live in the states, although we would not mind moving back to Peru at some point. It was a great experience for me, it obviously changed my life, and I would recommend the tour to anyone.

In summary, I would recommend Love Me to a friend.
