Clara Bensen and Jeff Wilson, an American couple who met on an online dating site, have gone viral after booking a 21-day trip around Europe despite only knowing each other for a few weeks.

Freelance writer Bensen published an article about their impetuous journey on Salon and recently spoke to the Metro about her impressions of finding love on the web.

"I thought I might make a social experiment out of the process by dating a different person each night for a week. I ended up finding Jeff's profile within an hour. I deleted my account a few days later," she explained.

The couple are still together, suggesting that it is possible to find love online. However, Ms Bensen urged people looking for a partner on dating sites to use their common sense and intuition when picking a mate – particularly if planning to travel to the other side of the world with someone!ADNFCR-2867-ID-801663919-ADNFCR
