Man Gives Free Trip Around the World to Woman With His Ex's Name

[methodwriter85]

So in this week's lighthearted, "awww" news, a young Toronto man found an Elizabeth Gallagher to take around with him around the world during Christmas. See, he booked these tickets for his girlfriend, Elizabeth Gallagher, but they broke up. Since the tickets are non-refundable/ non-transferrable (but passport information is not required), he could only take an Elizabeth Gallagher who had a Canadian passport.

 

He found her in Nova Scotia, a young 23-year old student with plans to become a social worker. She has a serious boyfriend, which promises to keep this platonic. Still, what a cute story! They'll document their trip around the world and I hope they become good friends after this!

 

That's good on the woman's fiancé, though, that he's willing to be okay with his girlfriend going on a three-week trip around the world with a total stranger.

 

Would any of you be willing to do this, provided that whoever you go on this trip with is thoroughly vetted and background-checked?

 

In any event, it's such a warm fuzzy story.

I heard about  this on the radio today , I think it's pretty cool Too bad I have a rather unusual surname so this will  never happen to me

 

Not sure why this Picture ended up here

Yeah, I heard about it when he first started looking. Glad he found someone and that the girl and her bf are okay with it. After seeing the guy making the offer in the news, I think he is very genuine with his intentions to make it just for practical sake and not looking for anything else.

 

Slytherin, showing that picture outside of Toronto is a federal crime in Canada. I'm sending the Mounties to arrest you

I saw the story on the idiot box and thought it was funny. Seems the lady's boyfriend wasn't overjoyed about it though
