Guy is giving away a round-the-world plane ticket

This guy is giving away a round-the-world plane ticket to anyone with his ex-girlfriend’s name.

If your name is Elizabeth Gallagher you could be on your way to winning an around the world plane ticket for free.

Jordan Axani booked a round-the-world trip with his girlfriend so he could spend Christmas gazing into her eyes across a bowl of deep-fried locusts in Bangkok.

Unfortunately for the 27-year-old, after booking the trip in March, the pair then broke up, leaving Mr Axani with a spare ticket in the name of his Canadian ex-girlfriend.

He tried to get the name changed, but found a ‘name change on a ticket is damn near impossible’.

So he asked Reddit to help him track down a woman with the same name with the same nationality, who might want to join him on his trip.

He wrote: ‘In March I booked a fairly wicked trip around the world for this Christmas for my ex and I. While our relationship has come to a close, I am still planning on going on the trip and she is not (naturally). And because I hate the idea of a ticket around the world going to waste, I am looking for a Canadian named Elizabeth Gallagher who could use the ticket.’

Here’s the itinerary in full:
December 21: NYC —> Milan
December 28: Prague —> Paris
December 29: Paris —> Bangkok
January 7: Bangkok —> New Dehli
January 8: New Dehli —> Toronto

While Mr Axani does not expect anything romantic – he does have a list for any prospective Elizabeth Gallaghers that might want to join him:

1. Be sane, smart and (hopefully) interesting.
2. Have always wanted to travel, but maybe haven’t had the opportunity or cash to see much of the world.
3. Be named Elizabeth Gallagher and have a Canadian passport.
4. Be ready for a rather spontaneous life experience that will, one day, be an epic story that you’ll tell your kids.
5. Pay it forward. I’ve been lucky in life and this is me giving back to the universe. Do something similar someday.

He adds: ‘I am not looking for anything in return, I am not looking for companionship, romance, drugs, a trade, or to take selfies with you in front the Christmas Market in Prague. If you feel compelled to toss me a couple hundred bucks, great. Really the only thing I ask for is that you enjoy this trip and that it bring you happiness.

Thoughts?
