She should not be found. Sadly, the internet just works too well - collectively, we'll track anyone or anything down. Even if it's better not to. He'll not understand, but he'll be better off if he doesn't reconnect with her.
Romance is in your head. It's what you feel when you imagine what could happen and how the other person could be, without really knowing if that's the way it's going to be. After all, if you do know, the mystery is gone and so is the appeal.
Reese, dude, listen - do your own search. All by yourself. Use whatever means you can appeal to - except the help of others. Don't maximize the chance of success; maximize the uncertainty, maximize your effort, so that you will not forget. For the rest of your life, the mystery may stay with you and be that beacon to which to return when the magical has once again turned into the mundane due to your curiosity being satisfied.
Maybe the traveler woman will never return. Stay put just in case.

Of course they will, and nobody is going to be better off once they do.

A while ago there was an article about some dude in Sweden, who wanted to track down his ex-wife&kids via FB.
Quote:
A man was searching for his children using Facebook. Thanks to helpful people he found them – and their mother, who had secret and protected identities.
The story on Facebook was very touching. A father published a photo of his missing children and asked for help finding them. And thousands helped sharing the post and finally one person recognized the children and let him know where to find them.
The missing information was that the woman was living under protection and with a new identity after leaving the man. Now he found out where she was. She was forced to move again – to a women’s shelter.
“The worst case scenario is that you contribute to someone being beaten, raped or killed. You have to think twice before sharing this type of searches for missing people on Facebook”, says Lotta Sonemalm, at The Swedish Association of Women’s Shelters and Young Women’s Empowerment Centres , (SKR).
Women who are given protected identities all live under threat.
“It can be violence in close relationships, criminal gangs that you wish to leave and women who have been subjected to honour violence”, Lotta Otterdal, at Frida Women’s Shelter told radio show P4 Extra.
Swedish police also warns against sharing posts about missing people on social media.
“If a person living under a protected identity has their whereabouts revealed it result in catastrophic consequences for the person in question,” says criminal investigator Anders Ahlqvist to magazine Dagens Juridik.
Internet is a powerful=dangerous tool
