Nala's World

The heartwarming true story of one man, his rescue cat, and their bike ride around the world, from the creator of the massively popular 1Bike1World Instagram. When 31-year-old Dean Nicholson set off to cycle around the world his aim was to learn as much as he could about our troubled planet. As he put it: "I wanted to see what state the world was in." But he hadn't bargained on the lessons he'd learn from the unlikely passenger who would eventually accompany him. Three months after leaving his home in Scotland, Dean was riding along a remote road on the mountainous border between Montenegro and Bosnia when he came across an abandoned kitten. At the time, he was recovering from a series of setbacks, including a self-inflicted knee injury, and had more than enough challenges to overcome. But there was something about the hopeful eyes and plaintive meowing of the bedraggled, little cat -- who seemed determine to follow him -- that he couldn't resist. Despite his doubts about his ability to care for a kitten, Dean scooped her up and unknowingly changed both their lives forever. Before long, he realized that he and the kitten, who he named Nala, were destined to walk -- or bike -- life's road together. Nala's World will tell the full story of a chance encounter that led to an incredible journey full of life lessons, transformative love, and encounters with the citizens of our world -- both human and animal.
