A woman lived out her own version of The Holiday after swapping homes with a complete stranger whom she met on TikTok. Marie Draxler, from London , decided to swap flats after spotting a video by NYC native Lohanny Santos, who was looking for someone abroad to exchange homes for a trip.

After posting about her real-life The Holiday experience, Marie's TikTok quickly blew up, racking up millions of views.
