They leave her standing at her wedding and she reacts in a way that has revolutionized the networks

Katy Colins was a 27-year-old English girl who was ready to say yes to her lifelong boyfriend, Thom Soutter, and live an idyllic life by her side. However, things went wrong and he stood her at the gates of her wedding.

Katy was devastated for a moment, but she did not let this experience embitter her life. She decided to face her problem and turn her life around. To do this, she sold her house, her belongings and left her job at the airport. The reason she did it will surprise you.

Her boyfriend leaves her and she leaves everything

Instead of saying yes, Katy made the biggest decision of her life and she chose to leave everything to travel the world. The young English woman left everything behind, sadness included, and she launched herself to see the world. She could not fulfill her dream of marrying the love of her life, so she opted for the dream of traveling the world.

Her friends and family believed that she had lost her mind. She had never traveled alone before and this could be one more symptom of her dejection over her breakup with Thom. But she needed time to herself and to get away from it all, and what better way than to travel the world.

She began by discovering Southeast Asia, starting with Thailand. She then she continued traveling for 8 months passing through countries such as Nepal, India, France, Brazil, Argentina or Chile. As she traveled, she went sharing all her travel experiences on her Instagram account and on her blog, mainly to keep her family and friends informed of her.
