Katy Collins endured the heartbreak many dread: her fiancé left her just three months before their wedding. Rather than despair, this resilient Englishwoman sold her house and car, left her public relations job, and set off on a solo journey across Asia. She launched a candid blog, "Not Wed or Dead," sharing her story and captivating travel photos. "Everyone thought I was a bit crazy, mostly because I had never traveled alone before, but that's what I needed. I needed time away from everything and everyone to find myself," she reflects.
Katy credits her ex with awakening her to life's possibilities: "I had a good job, a nice house, and lived a comfortable life that lacked adventure. Something I hoped traveling halfway around the world would bring me—and it did." Her inspiring tale captured international media attention, leading to three books on her expeditions (spanning over 30 countries) and meeting her soulmate, John, a journalist intrigued by her journey. She recently shared news of their wedding and pregnancy on her blog.
An uplifting comeback story—congratulations, Katy!
