WOMAN: The next morning it may be time to move on toward the ultimate destination. And, again, your smartphone plays a useful role. Investigative journalist, Matthew Brunwasser, wrote in the New York Times August 25th, 2015 that immigrants share photos and videos of their journeys taken on their smartphones with Facebook groups such as How To Immigrate to Europe, which has over 39,000 members.

In the Telegraph, September 20th, 2015, reporters Josie Ensur and Magdy Samaan describe a 120,000 member Facebook group, Karajat Al Mushuntiteen, Travelers Platform, as an E-Bay, or one stop shop, for migrants from Africa to the Middle East. On this site members provide maps with the best routes and good stopping points on the way. When one route is closed off, this is noted and new options are suggested.
