Should we tell him the secret truth that camgirls have real lives outside the sex industry? I mean it's pretty hush hush, but sometimes cam models actually have sex with people and *shock horror* aren't being paid!
Plenty of cam models make bank, there are lots who carry on camming while on holiday so they don't need to take time off work, or they make enough from clip sites that they can manage this from being away. And some just make so much that they can travel anyway. I know AspenRae has travelled around the world on various adventures and still made the top 20 each month. With that kind of income being on holiday definitely isn't a big deal financially.
The most likely options when models go on holiday and you can't see the people in them are that she's travelling alone, with friends, with family or with a boyfriend/husband. The less likely option is that she has a sugar daddy or is a high end escort who gets taken on holidays lots. The reason I say this is less likely is a) because if she had a sugar daddy he would need to have the income and flexibility to go on holiday monthly, in my experience most men looking for an arrangement have limited time. A guy like that is rare. b) escorting tends not to be about jet setting around the world unless you are very high end, from what I've heard, men would rather book a local woman. So again she would be a rare case. and c) Statistics. While some sex workers do transition across various different forms of sex work, just thinking about how statistics work, it would be less likely that she is a popular cam model AND a high end escort/sugar babe. I am sure there are girls about, just that statistically it is unlikely and therefore makes no sense to make that assumption based only on that she goes on holiday regularly and you can't see who she's with. On the other hand, chances of her having friends, partners, family is pretty much a certainty. So if I were making bets, I'd go with that one.
As models have said already, as a rule we do not post pictures with non-consenting parties. Firstly it invades their privacy and could lead them to unwanted attention. Secondly going from that, it may be easier to trace friends or a husband than a cam model, especially as more pictures broadens the chances of someone being recognised and they may not have adequate safety precautions. Thirdly, part of the illusion of camming is that we are single girls. While most members are aware we have partner's, they don't necessarily want to see them. Just because you cannot see her real life friends, family, partners, children, doesn't mean they don't exist.
One thing you have not considered, and I don't know what pictures she's showing you. But she may live in or near a holiday resort. It may only cost her a small amount to travel to a holiday destination, for all you know it may be a short drive or boat ride away. She also may have friends and family in different areas, or even a holiday home.
Your thoughts go straight to escorting, I am not sure if this is wishful thinking or coming from bias because she's a cam model. But if it is a job that makes her travel it would probably be more likely she has a vanilla job that leads to travel.
To answer your question, yes some camgirls do escort, some escort separately to camming, and there are some sites which also advertise escorts (adultwork being an example). Some camgirls used to escort then moved to camming, some the opposite way around. I would imagine that there are more girls in the camming industry who have escort experience than other industries, but it's probably still a minority. Lots of girls who cam would never be comfortable with real life stuff, many have jobs, partners and basically completely average lives. Many camgirls also seem to cam because they get anxiety around people and staying in the house at the computer suits them. And if you're successful camming you likely make considerably more money per hour than you would escorting (and being successful in camming wouldn't make you successful in other sex work). So while some camgirls do, I believe a good majority do not and have not. You might as well make this assumption about any woman you meet in real life.
