Rescued From a Ravine

Social media comes to the rescue.
Stacey Eno loves to travel. Her friend Mikey does too, and so they made plans to meet up and explore Bali. After settling into their hotel, they decided to take a scooter to the town of Ubud for dinner. As they returned to the hotel in the dark, they veered off the road and tumbled into a ravine.
They were left there for hours, critically injured, unable to move. Mikey was, however, able to send a six-word Facebook post. That set in motion hundreds of people trying to help. In the end, it was the unrelenting effort of a freelance writer in the Poconos that led to their rescue.
We also talk with world traveler Jessica Nabongo about what to do when things go wrong in a foreign country.

Stacey Eno has resumed teaching and still loves traveling the world.

Aimee Spevak is a freelance medical writer.

Jessica Nabongo visited every country in the world by the age of 35. She is currently writing a cookbook of recipes from her travels.
