TORONTO, Dec. 17 (UPI) -- Toronto man Jordan Axani has chosen a woman with the same name as his ex-girlfriend to travel the world with him after advertising the opportunity on Reddit.

Elizabeth Gallagher, 23, of Nova Scotia is the lucky lady. She was one of many Elizabeth Gallaghers who emailed Axani along with women willing to change their name.

The viral campaign started after Axani broke up with his girlfriend, for whom he bought tickets for a tour around the world. Not wanting to lose his money, Axani decided to search for an Elizabeth Gallagher and make it a time to give back.

"At the end of the day, I'm just a simple guy from Canada," he told ABC News. "Initially, when the story broke, it was shocking. I didn't have any anticipation this would happen. The original story implicated my ex-girlfriend, which was very difficult as well."

The two will travel to Milan, Prague, Vienna, Paris, Bangkok, Thailand, New Delhi and Agra before returning to Toronto on Jan. 12.

The only things Gallagher will have to pay for are food and souvenirs.
