You're stranded in another country. How do you get home?

You go on vacation in a country an ocean away from your home. Owing to some combination of stupidity, foreignness, and understandable mistakes, you miss your flight back.

Flying home basically involves buying another ticket, more expensive than the one you bought to get there. Let’s say over $1,000. In fact, let’s call it $1,336.87.

To keep things interesting, let’s assume you don’t have a credit card. You left it at home and there’s no way to get it, or you never had one in the first place, or something.

How do you get home? Or… do you?
