A woman planned to go to Australia for two weeks with a guy she met - just five days before.<br /><br />Jessie Hallett, 28, had spotted Lloyd Rowlands, 33, in her gym and thought he was "handsome".<br /><br />But the pair didn't properly meet until they got chatting while in the sauna on June 3, 2024, after their gym sessions.<br /><br />Lloyd - who works in the gym - mentioned he was going to Australia two weeks later and Jessie mentioned she had been before and could share some tips with him after spending a year in Sydney aged 20.<br /><br />The pair bumped into each other again two days later and went for a coffee and Lloyd asked if Jessie wanted to come along on his trip.<br /><br />She jumped at the chance and the pair are set to fly on June 22, 2024, and travel around Australia for two weeks.<br /><br />Jessie, a social media manager, from Cardiff, Wales, said: "I went into the sauna. I go to the gym every morning at 5am.<br /><br />"I had spotted him before. I always thought 'he's very handsome'.<br /><br />"He was talking about how he's booked to go to Australia for two weeks.<br /><br />"I used to live there so I said 'if you're going to Sydney I can give you some recommendations'.<br /><br />"We were giving each other the eye.<br /><br />"Two days later I saw him behind the counter at the Starbucks at the gym.<br /><br />"He bought me a coffee and followed me on Instagram. We started messaging and met up for coffee and dinner.<br /><br />"I said 'I'm so jealous you're going on an Australia trip' and he said 'you come then'.<br /><br />"I'm absolutely buzzing."<br /><br />Jessie has been single for four years. She had struggled to find someone who fit into her lifestyle after going sober 19 months ago.<br /><br />She said: "I'd not found someone to match my lifestyle.<br /><br />"No one else wants someone who doesn't drink and gets up at stupid o'clock."<br /><br />After the pair met at the sauna they kept bumping into each other and went on a date two days later.<br /><br />There Lloyd asked Jessie to come with him to Australia and revealed he is also sober and an early riser.<br /><br />Lloyd said: "I only booked the trip myself a few weeks ago. I planned to go alone and see some friends I know out there.<br /><br />"I met Jessie and she mentioned she could recommend a few places. We went out the next day and it was a vibe.<br /><br />"We have so much in common and I think life is too short and we only get one of this cherry - so why not."<br /><br />Jessie said: "I'm the type of person that will drop everything and go.<br /><br />"He's so nice. We're both a Leo.<br /><br />"He doesn't feel like a complete stranger."<br /><br />Jessie applied for her visa the next day and spent £1,400 booking flights the following day when it was approved.<br /><br />The pair spent the weekend planning their itinerary. <br /><br />They plan to spend three days in Sydney before going to the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Cairns before flying back via Sydney and Dubai.<br /><br />Jessie said: "I have got no expectations. Even if I come back with a new mate it's amazing.<br /><br />"We'll remember this for the rest of our lives.<br /><br />"It will be a trip of a lifetime.<br /><br />"We've booked a helicopter tour and skydiving.
