There's a new website that connects beautiful people who want to travel with the rich people who can pay their way.
The new online dating site is called MissTravel.com, and it matches up "attractive members" with "generous members" who plan and then go on a trip together. The "generous member" picks up the bill.
MissTravel launched less than two weeks ago, and more than 20,000 people looking for adventure have already signed up. Twitter is a buzz, suggesting MissTravel is a misstep, and that it's nothing more than a high flying escort service.One guy wrote "Is this prostitution? I think it is." Someone else tweeted "If this weren't creepy and hookerish, I'd be all about it."
It is far from the first sugar daddy-type website, where men of means are matched with beautiful women. Still, some experts call sites like these prostitution.
"I don't think people would be willing to call it prostitution, but any type of jewelry, any type of bartering, it's essentially sex, sex for money," relationship expert Dr. Bridgette Lang said.
The safety page on the MissTravel website clearly states "no escorts." Still, a woman we found on the site under the name "sassycurve" puts her relationship status as "married but looking" and describes herself as "a very sensual lady who is very sexual."
There's no money exchanged specifically between the guy and the woman.
