This guy was having a regular day until he got invited to a free trip by strangers

It’s a Wednesday afternoon and you are sitting on your sofa watching some Netflix and enjoying a delicious bowl of cereal. Suddenly, you get a message from a complete stranger asking if you would like to join them on a free trip to Mallorca with a group of friends.

You could say no and always wonder what great experiences you could have missed. Or, you could say yes, after some social media stalking to make sure these people are not psychopaths…

Well, this happened to Joe back in 2017.

Joe was having a regular day when suddenly he got an odd message on Facebook from a guy representing a group of friends.

These group of friends had a trip planned to Mallorca. Everything was already paid. There was a member of the group that last minute found out that he couldn’t go on the trip. This group member was called Joe McGrath. Because Joe (the Joe of this story) had the same name as Joe (the other Joe) there would be no problems with the bookings and their friends didn’t want to make that extra space go to waste. So they went on Facebook, looked for a guy also named Joe McGrath and invited him to the trip to fill the space of the previous Joe.

Joe said yes!

After finding out of this story, we contacted Joe to ask him a few words on his experience. Once again, he didn’t let go of a social opportunity to inspire you one more time.

Here are a few words from Joe:

You should always be cautious of course, but also consider scenarios where you might be missing out the best years of your life.

At Buddoop, we help you find friends that share your interests. It doesn’t need to be something as extravagant as a trip abroad. Maybe you just want a group of people to join you on a volleyball game, meet new people in a new city or try that new vegan place with other vegans. Even if you enjoy collecting coins and your friends don’t share this interest with you, there are more people out there that will! You can use Buddoop to find them.
