A Dutch tourist has finally returned home after five months stranded in a Brazilian airport.

Sheridan Gregorio was stuck at Fortaleza airport after he spent all his money on holiday.

He had a return ticket to get home but did not realise that he also had to pay airport tax.

After missing his flight, he was told he had also lost his ticket because it was non-refundable.

With no money, Mr Gregorio had to sleep in the airport and clean restaurants in exchange for food and some money.
