There are things that excite me about a traveling provider from out of our area. But I do have to do my research and alot seem to be agencies. Never used one so not sure of pros cons.  

If it's a local lady traveling to my area im a little more confident due to the board or their reputation.  

But the go to local is always great knowing what your getting an easy no stress.  

The both have pros and cons.

Prefer locals (including ladies in the Carolinas who tour locally) over nationals if only I can build a potential recurring relationship.

I am limited to Myrtle Beach and Charleston unless I am travelling. Unfortunately there are not many Amazing ladies in either location and the few we have do not "play" regularly. If there were more and they played more often then I would say I would prefer locals 9 out of 10 times because I love to build relationships with the ladies. However since I do not have that luxury I will say I am 50/50.

I prefer the locals in order to see someone on a regular basis.  In my opinion we both tend to be more comfortable and enjoy each other more.

I prefer locals but it's so hard to get an appointment with local ladies. So, as much as I would love to see someone local, I am finding it easier to meet touring ladies with agencies.  
My work schedule is so unpredictable I can only make appointments 2-3 hours in advance. This is not something that will work out with local ladies

I live in here in NC and I've been in the Hobby for years...and years.  If you look at my list of reviews you'd swear I live in Vegas.  Even though I only visit there maybe 3 times a year; I have regulars there.  Sweet women that I've seen so many times over so many years that I consider them friends and I believe the feeling is mutual.  I don't know why, but it's just been easier for me to establish regular meetings and friendships there.  Perhaps it's because there's more planning on my part.  Not everybody will plan and schedule like I do.   I do outcall there instead of having to drive.  I have more time to just relax....I don't know.  I suppose some guys like a new shiny toys to play with and are more attracted to the gals that pass through.  I'm saying 50/50.  That's my guess.  I'd appreciate a local regular if all of the variables click.  

Some of the visitors don't understand the Charlotte market and want to charge what I would say is amount reserved for larger cities.

However, there are only so many locals so it is nice to ride a new bike once in awhile.
