A Toronto man offering free plane tickets to a woman with the same name as his ex-girlfriend says he's heard from several women since putting out a call online.

Jordan Axani, 28, posted a message to Reddit on Sunday: "Are you named Elizabeth Gallagher (and Canadian)? Want a free plane ticket around the world?"

Axani said he'd booked the trip with his girlfriend in March, but the couple has since split up. Axani still wants to go on the trip, but his ex-girlfriend Elizabeth Gallagher does not.

Rather than cancel the tickets or take his ex-girlfriend's name off the tickets, he turned to Reddit, hoping to find another travel companion with the same name.

On Monday, Axani told CTV News that many women with the same name have come forward in the days since he posted the message.

"Among those, I'm sure we'll find someone that will enjoy the trip who also perhaps isn't able to see these countries otherwise," Axani said in an email, declining an on-air interview.

The free three-week trip includes stops in Prague, Paris, Bankok and New Delhi. He said he hopes the Elizabeth Gallagher he chooses will pay-it-forward one day.

"I've been lucky in life and this is me giving back to the universe. Do something similar someday," Axani wrote on Reddit.

Axani posted an update on Reddit asking people to respect the privacy of his ex-girlfriend. "Let's keep this light and fun," he wrote.
