After being dumped, Katy Colins sold her house, booked a one way plane ticket, and hasn’t looked back
ALMOST four years ago, Katy’s fiance walked out on her just weeks before their wedding. Her response? She booked a one-way ticket and never looked back.
ALMOST four years ago, Katy Colins’ fiance walked out on her just weeks before their wedding. So she packed and left and hasn’t looked back.
The Manchester Evening News reports that the 30-year-old former PR manager quit her job, sold her house, and set off on a solo journey that’s taken her all over the world.
“Everyone did think I was a little mad, especially as I’d never travelled anywhere by myself before, but it just felt right,” Colins said from her current base in France.
“I needed the time away from everything and everyone I knew to find myself, but it wasn’t as cheesy as that.”
She’s kept a blog of her travels which has recently led to a three-book deal with Carina UK, part of Harper Collins.
“People who weren’t related to me started reading my blog and sending me emails, telling me how brave I was to quit it all and go,’ she told the Manchester Evening News.
“I received messages from other newly single men and women who said they read my blog as an inspiration – that just because you’ve been dumped it doesn’t mean you have to listen to bad power anthems and devour ice-cream!
“You can use this as a catalyst for something much bigger and better.”
These are just some of her life-changing photos.
