Contract Example Information

When a client and a sex worker decide to travel together, the usual boundaries of a standard booking change. Travelling introduces a higher level of vulnerability and reliance on one another for safety, comfort, and financial security.

Whether you are the provider or the client, having a clear, explicit agreement in place before departure ensures that both parties share the same expectations, protecting everyone involved.

An effective travel agreement should clearly outline:

Financial Terms & Timing:

Exactly how much will be paid, the currency, and the precise payment schedule. Providers often require a deposit upfront to cover initial travel costs or secure the booking, which should be settled before departure.

Expense Coverage:

Clear definitions of who covers costs for flights, transit, accommodation, and daily meals. If expenses are paid upfront and reimbursed later, establish a prompt timeline for this.

Boundaries & Expected Hours:

A distinct outline of expected working hours and availability. Because travelling together can easily blur the lines between personal time and work, it is vital to agree on when a provider is off the clock.

The Exit Strategy:

A mutual understanding of what happens if the trip is cut short, cancelled last minute, or if the situation becomes uncomfortable for either party. The agreement should ensure that return travel is securely arranged and funded so nobody is left stranded.

If there is a reluctance to put financial commitments and personal boundaries in writing before leaving, it is highly likely that those boundaries will be misunderstood or crossed once away. Avoid travelling or booking travel without a clear, mutual agreement in place.

Exit Strategy Information

When working abroad or out of town, an exit strategy is your ultimate safety net. It is your independent plan to get out of an uncomfortable, unstable, or unsafe situation without needing the client’s permission, assistance, or money.

Relying entirely on someone else for your plane ticket or accommodation puts you at a disadvantage. Building an exit strategy means ensuring you always have the practical and financial power to walk away.

Before you travel, ensure you have these four layers of security in place:

The Emergency Fund:

Always maintain an independent source of savings that the client cannot access or see. This fund should be large enough to cover a last-minute hotel room, local transport, and an emergency flight home. Avoid counting on money you are expected to be paid at the end of the trip to fund your way back.

The Local Ground Rules:

Research your specific destination before you land. Know the local emergency phone numbers (they are not 111 everywhere) and the address of the nearest safe space, such as a major international hotel or a 24-hour transit hub, where you can safely wait for a ride.

The Check-In Person:

If possible, establish a trusted contact at home. Share your flight details, the address of your accommodation, and a scheduled time to check in daily. Agree on a specific safety word or phrase you can text them if you need help but cannot speak freely.

The Paper Trail (Self-Documentation):

If you are travelling covertly, do not have a check-in buddy, or do not feel comfortable sharing your situation with anyone, email the details to yourself. Send an email to your own account with the client's name, phone number, the hotel address, and regular updates on the situation. This creates a secure, time-stamped digital record accessible from any device if your phone is lost or taken.

An exit strategy is not a sign that a trip will go wrong; it is the reason you can travel with confidence. Avoid leaving your safety to chance. Always secure your own route home before you depart.
