Great Story, great Lesson to be learned. I'm so happy things worked out for @laurabanfield as @cryptoctopus and others came to the rescue negating the damage done.

On another note. I came to your page as my friend @fitinfun told me about how popular and successful you are online, as well as like to help out the little guys like myself. Wow she wasn't kidding you are Mr. Popular here. or should I write "@Mr.popular here"...lol

I'm new at blogging and I do a travel blog from a long term budget travelers perspective. I've Been living out of a backpack for over ten years so I guess that makes me a qualified expert. I have almost 500 followers now. If I can have 10% the success you have here I'd be a happy traveler. It would mean so much to me for someone like you self to take a look at what I'm up to. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

up votted and now you have your what? 20,000th follower or something like that.

By the way saw a few videos of you on youtube a couple weeks ago. You are quite the character! I see why you are so successful. Keep up the good work!
