Desperately seeking Martin, my Ibiza love

Lovestruck: holidaymaker Julia Cross fears she confused her phone digits
Ellen Widdup13 April 2012

Friends of a PR consultant have started a nationwide hunt to find her holiday love.

Julia Cross, 33, watched the sun rise on a beach in Ibiza with the mystery man after they met in a nightclub.

She only has a few basic facts about him - his name is Martin, he lives in Tooting and he works in Camden as a software developer. But a group of her friends have made it their New Year's resolution to help her find the man she shared one kiss with.

An email entitled Finding Martin, which describes the quest, has now gone viral backed up by a Facebook group and a Twitter campaign.

Ms Cross, from Clapham, said: "It was a really brilliant holiday and I can't believe it but am hugely flattered that my friends are going to such extreme measures with this campaign."

Leading the search for Martin is Julia's colleague Samina Deen. She said: "For the last three months Julia has been regaling us with this story of how she met Martin, and all the 'what ifs?'

"It started off as a bit of a joke. We Googled him, searched LinkedIn and even started drinking in pubs in Tooting hoping to spot him. But then we began talking about the fact that it is a small world and friends may be connected to other friends.

We decided that if we really put our minds to it we could probably track him down."

She said Ms Cross had given Martin her telephone number but believes she got the digits wrong. She added: "She was pretty sure he would call so when the text didn't come through she was convinced she had given him the wrong number. Obviously it could be that Martin just didn't want to call her but if there is even a chance it might all work out, it would be a crime for us not to try."

The viral email, which lists all the things Julia can remember about Martin, including the fact that he is originally from Maidenhead, and was wearing a cycling helmet with glow sticks attached to it, has already reached thousands. It says: "Help reunite JC and Martin. Stick this on your Twitter Feed, flag it up on Facebook. Spread the word."

The couple met on September 18. Martin was in Ibiza to attend a friend's wedding.
