Online resource for reconnecting with other travelers?
Last summer I spent some time in St. Petersburg, Russia. On the bus from Tallinn to St. Petersburg I met a nice girl. We also spent some time in St. Petersburg. Unfortunately, I've lost the email address she gave me there. So I've no possibility to contact her. Since I really would like to do that, I'm looking for an online platform that allows me to search for lost travelers. I remember her name, home town and more or less her itinerary. I could also describe her appearance very well ;)
Is there anything like that?

In the US, you'd use Craigslist's missed connections. For example:

As @Gagravarr points out, your best international bet is probably Facebook, using her name and hometown as search paramaters. I've been able to find people I met while traveling on a few occasions like that.
There's also the sometimes surprisingly accurate (or creepy) http://kgbpeople.com. If your contact has a not too common name, you'd be amazed what sometimes comes out of there.
