Nala's World: One Man's Global Bike Adventure with His Rescue Cat

When 30-year-old Dean Nicholson set off from Scotland to cycle around the world, his aim was to learn as much as he could about our troubled planet. But the lessons he'd learn from his unlikely companion were ones he hadn't bargained for. Three months after leaving home, on a remote road in the mountains between Montenegro and Bosnia, he came across an abandoned kitten. Something about the piercing eyes and plaintive meowing of the bedraggled little cat proved irresistible, and he couldn't leave her to her fate, so he put her on his bike and then, with the help of local vets, nursed her back to health.

Soon on his travels with the cat he named Nala, they forged an unbreakable bond – both curious, independent, resilient and adventurous. Discover the nationally bestselling, true story of this life-changing friendship between a man and his rescue cat, as they adventure together on a bike journey around the world – from the Instagram phenomenon @1bike1world.
