Hey everybody, it's Marielle.
A few years ago, our digital editor, Malika Grebe,
lost her passport two days before a big international trip.
Getting a new passport expedited would cost her hundreds of dollars,
and she wasn't sure if it would even get to her in time.
You can imagine how stressed I was.
I mean, the last time I saw my passport was on the bed.
But I retraced my steps about a dozen times and nothing.
She was so stressed about the missing passport, she even took off work to look for it.
I mean, I was really frazzled.
I tore up the house, and I was checking the most random places like the bathroom cabinets.
That experience made Malika think, you know,
there has to be a more methodical way of finding lost objects.
Right.
