Jordan Axani has found a Canadian woman with the same name as his ex-girlfriend to travel with after booking a three-week holiday before they split up.

Jordan Axani, 28, broke up with Elizabeth Gallagher in May but couldn’t get a refund for the trip.

After putting out a request on Reddit for a travelling companion with the same name and a Canadian passport, Jordan Axani received thousands of responses.

One was from 23-year-old Elizabeth Quinn Gallagher from Nova Scotia.

Jordan Axani picked the student, a homeless shelter volunteer who has a boyfriend, after talking with her on the phone.

He said he was impressed with her social conscience.

“It’s totally platonic,” Jordan Axani said from New York, where the trip starts on Sunday, December 21.

“Do I think we’ll become friends? Sure.”

The pair will also be visiting Milan, Prague, Paris, Bangkok and New Delhi until January 8.Jordan Axani and Elizabeth Gallagher

Other responses to his Reddit post were more odd.

Jordan Axani, who’s from Toronto, said he heard from hundreds of people, male and female, who offered to legally change their names.

“I thought it was worth a shot,” he said.

“Why not throw something like this out there into the universe? And sure it’s a little weird.

“I’ll be the first person to say that but on the back side we had an incredible response which I never would have anticipated of people that haven’t had the chance to go on trips like this.

“My original post remains true to this day. All I wanted was someone to take the ticket and just go and enjoy themselves.

“Whether we travel together, or spend any time together, is totally irrelevant to me.”

The Canadian has now set up a charity called A Ticket Forward, which aims to fund trips for underprivileged people.

Jordan Axani said the original Elizabeth Gallagher had been in touch but didn’t want to say she had said to him.

Canadian Jordan Axani is offering free plane tickets to a female compatriot to fly “around the world”.

The man has made the offer on one condition – his fellow traveler must be called Elizabeth Gallagher.

Jordan Axani, 28, broke up with his girlfriend, Elizabeth Gallagher, in March and needs someone with the same name who can use the tickets.

He wants to give the tickets away rather than change the name on them.

Jordan Axani said it would be “the headache or money to cancel” them.

The itinerary for the trip to Europe, the US and India includes stops in Milan, Prague, Paris, New York and Delhi between December and January.

Jordan Axani has advertised the tickets on Reddit.

He wrote: “I need your help.

“You see, 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.”

Until now, no one has been selected yet.

Jordan Axani explained that he created the advert because the “archaic system that is modern air travel” meant changing the name on the ticket would be “damn near impossible”.

He describes himself as “a totally normal 28-year-old guy living in Toronto” and insists that he is “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,” Jordan Axani wrote.
