      When life gives you lemons you take ‘em and run because … free lemons. Seriously though, sometimes you don’t realise how far you’ve come until you look back. This is for you past Katy, I told you it would all work out.

      Huge gigantic thanks to my noisy, fun and ruddy inspiring family. Mum and Dad - you never doubted me and gave me the courage to be brave, say yes and always try my very best. I hope I have made you proud.

      A special shout out to Paula Stokes an intelligent and insightful lady with a keen eye for detail. Your ongoing support would make my grandparents proud.

      To Gregoire Pruvost for supporting me, feeding me cake and chatting over ideas in another language. Je t’aime. To my wonderful friends including my bezzo Jen Brown, a true diamond. My life is better because you are in it.

      To Victoria Oundjian and Lydia Mason for your priceless editing expertise in polishing this book so that it gleams. Also a huge thanks to everyone at HQ for believing in me and to the other HQ authors for welcoming me into this new family with virtual hugs and enthusiastic support.

      I probably wouldn’t be writing this if it wasn’t for Rosie Blake and Kerry Hudson. Because of the WoMentoring Project I got to meet two kick ass women who encouraged me to pour my soul into this wild journey.

      Thank you to my writing gang Holly Martin, Kat Black, Helen Redfern, Rachael Lucas, Cesca Major and Emily Kerr, I never knew hot tubs in a powercut and villagers chasing us with jam could be so much fun.

      I am forever grateful to the awesome people I met along my travels. Special thanks to the following individuals who truly inspired both mine and Georgia’s journey: Jenny Silkstone, Rachel Bryant, Laura Hughes, Lars Hognestad, Adam Whitley, Desiree McCaffrey, Mary Wade, Brent Alexander, Ryan Harrison and Zoe Collie.

      To my Twitter friends, super lovely book and travel bloggers and supporters of NotWedorDead.com, big thanks for tirelessly cheering me on, we may have never met IRL but that doesn’t mean you don’t rock my world.

      And finally, a squishy big thanks to you lovely reader for buying, reading, sharing and reviewing. If you enjoyed my little book then please tell all your friends, I’m sure they are just as awesome as you.
