Man Rushes To Save Drowning Stranger’s Life, Months Later She Returns The Favor

Everyone needs a break from their regular routine, and that's just what Attila Bosnyak had in mind for his vacation in Goa, India. Everything was going according to plan. The yoga retreat soothed his stressed body, and as he walked across the beautiful beaches he was at peace — but then everything changed when he heard a woman's cries for help.

Under Pressure

Attila Bosnyak was living under constant pressure from his job. It wasn't always fun and games as a financial advisor, but Attila did what he could to decompress. One way he found was yoga, and as soon as he learned of a retreat far away from the cold of Amsterdam, he jumped at the opportunity in 2019. He didn't expect it to change his life forever.

Perfect Vacation

Usually Attila would be freezing cold in the February weather back in the Netherlands, but Goa's warm climate was the perfect vacation setting. He met a lot of new people in his yoga class, who, like himself, were all beginners to the art. There were many others in different classes whom he'd never meet during the two week retreat, but fate would bring him closer to one woman.

Beach Stroll

It was during one of Attila's breaks from yoga class that he decided to explore Goa's picturesque beaches. He took in the beautiful day as he took the quiet stroll by himself, and his only concern was the sudden choppiness of the waves. That tranquility would soon be disturbed when he saw movement within the dangerous waters.

Sole Witness

It was someone fighting for her life! No one else but Attila had seen the woman struggling to stay above the water because of the jagged rocks blocking the view, but there was little time to call for help. A sudden undertow was about to drag the woman to her death. Attila was confident that he could rescue her, so he ran to grab her hand — but soon both of them would realize that they needed rescuing.
