A Dutch student who booked a bargain trip to Sydney has found out that the deal was a little too good to be true.

18 year old Milan Schipper ended up in Sydney, but not Sydney Australia.

Sydney is a small town in snowy Nova Scotia, and Milan wasn't exactly dressed for the weather.

He admitted he was becoming suspicious when he had to transfer to a small aircraft in Toronto. 

He returned home to Amsterdam shortly afterwards and he told CBC radio that his father "laughed an awful lot" when he picked him up at the airport.

Now, the teenager has set up a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds for his dream trip down under.

He's still a good way short of his goal of €2,500.
