Some relationships can send you a bit loopy.

A woman has inadvertently performed one of the best promotional stunts for Crocs they could have asked for by walking 500 miles in them after calling off an engagement.
Honestly, Kayleigh Castle sounds like a remarkably compulsive person. After only five weeks of dating, she gets engaged to her lover. However, only a few months later the whole thing was called off. She realized that it wasn't going to work for her, and she needed to be a free spirit.
So, clad in Crocs, she took a flight to Portugal to walk the Camino de Santiago to walk her engagement away. The route is a beautiful pilgrimage through the country, visiting various hostels and churches. It offers a lot of time for reflection and captures some of the best countryside the country has to offer.
I wonder if, given a little more planning post-engagement, she might have chosen something better to walk in than Crocs. But, five weeks later, and five hundred miles, she completed it.

Hilariously, the woman who gets engaged at the drop of a hat, and then hikes in Crocs works as a life coach. She's certainly one to choose if you want to put your life on a completely out-of-control path. But, maybe that's what people need.
Sage words from the self-professed life coach give an insight into her decisions. "I had the realization that marriage can be limiting. Marriage is all about making compromises and sacrifices and I wasn't willing to do that so I realized that maybe I was not a marriage girl. For me, marriage is about stability but I actually don't want stability — it is boring."
Looking back on the crazy situation, Castle didn't blame anyone for the broken-off engagement. "I am chaotic. I loved traveling, I didn't want to give that up. This isn't on him, I just realized that marriage can be limiting."
So if you're looking for someone who will encourage you to follow your heart, Castle is your coach. You'll find yourself hiking 500 miles to run away from an impromptu engagement in Crocs in no time.
