The Megilla describes Na'ami as leaving the land of Moav and setting her sights on her return to the land of Yehudah.
Frequently when people lose their fortunes they leave the places where people know them and travel to places where they are unknown. They are embarrassed to face those who had been below them on the social scale and have now risen above. Na'ami knew that her financial downfall was a result of her family's decision to leave the Land of Israel and go to Moav. Rather than hiding from others, she accepted her punishment and was prepared to face others in her new predicament.
