I spotted Katie quickly at the airport in Barbados – she had a big smile and looked exactly like her online photo. As I waved across the arrivals hall, and we walked towards each other, I suddenly felt a bit nervous. ‘What on earth am I doing?’ flashed across my mind, and reality set in that I was about to go on holiday with somebody I’d never met before – a complete stranger. I’d come across Katie on a global travel website for women only eight weeks earlier, we’d never spoken and had only chatted via Messenger before booking a 10-day Caribbean cruise together. It might sound crazy, but I knew this new adventure would be good for me
