Some would argue that using men to bag free trips around the world is a little bit of a piss take - those people are just jealous.
Swapping rags for riches, Maria Shaw, 26, from Bromley, London, was left homeless after a nasty break-up from her partner, reports the Sun.

She was forced to keep her possessions in storage and, put simply, Shaw was in financial crisis when she decided to join the dating site, Miss Travel, in 2015.

Having to rely on family and friends to put a roof over her head after the end of what she thought was a loving relationship, Shaw was homeless.
"I wanted to start over in Australia so originally joined the site in the hope that someone would fly me out there, as I couldn't afford the initial costs of moving over there to work for the year," said Shaw. "My plan didn't work out how I hoped, but since I started travel dating I haven't looked back."

In the past eight months, she has been whisked away on all-expenses-paid trips to Dubai, Paris, Marbella and Milan by various men.
"So far this year I have been flown around the world on five dates and all of them have been unique in their own way, I've become quite the jet-setter," she said.

Alright for some, I suppose.
