Man finds woman with same name as ex to join him on round-the-world trip.
When Jordan Axani booked an around-the-world plane ticket for him and his girlfriend in March he began gearing up for the romantic getaway of a lifetime.
But his relationship with Elizabeth Gallagher came to a end, leaving the 27-year-old with a pricey travel itinerary and no one to share it with.
Knowing that it is almost impossible to change the name on an airplane ticket, the Canadian felt he only had one choice - find someone with the same name as his ex.

My 80 year old fun-loving grandmother, Elizabeth "Liz" Gallager, is Canadian and lives in Vancouver, BC. She is a joy to be with, speaks 4 languages (actually just 2, the other 2 she just made up) and can do some neat tricks with her Zimmer frame. (dailymail.co.uk)

The airlines are stupid not allowing name changes, what difference would it make who goes? Good idea, thinking outside the box, I bet he will have a bright future. (dailymail.co.uk)

Axani said the trip will be documented and shared online. He said that he was so moved by some of the emails including one from an eight-year-old boy who said he was going blind and wanted to see the world before that happens that he and his brother created an organization called A Ticket Forward to help people who want to see the world but lack the finances to do so.
Just thought that was worth repeating in case anyone wanted to donate. (theguardian.com)

A camera man should go with them to make a record of the trip.
I'm sure the outcome would make a commercial success and pay for another trip! (theguardian.com)

What about Elizabeth Gallagher's boyfriend arranging to meet them at a city half way during their journey?
Imagining how awkward that might be? Exactly. (theguardian.com)

My wife just came from this "trip around the world". she got the deal from online for $150. I'm sure that's where he got his...seems to be the same type of destinations. Maybe the story was a made up. Probably starking Elizabeth...paying $150 for the extra ticket..a $150 gamble to see if he can get her to go with him...I hope I'm wrong. (ctvnews.ca)
