Summary
Instagram phenomenon @1bike1world Dean Nicholson reveals the full story of his life-changing friendship with rescue cat Nala and their inspiring adventures together on a bike journey around the world.
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 he hadn't bargained on the lessons he'd learn from his unlikely companion.
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. 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. The video of how they met has had 20 million views, and their Instagram has grown to almost 750k followers - and still counting!
Experiencing the kindness of strangers, visiting refugee camps, rescuing animals through Europe and Asia, Dean and Nala have already learned that the unexpected can be pretty amazing. Together with Garry Jenkins, writer with James Bowen of the best-selling A Street Cat Named Bob, Dean shares the extraordinary tale of his and Nala's inspiring and heart-warming adventure together.

A lovely listen!
Really enjoyed Dean and Nala’s story. Adopting animals can be life changing and was certainly the case here. Looking forward to the next instalment!

Loved It!
As soon as I heard that there was going to be a book about Dean's story of how he found Nala and his experience on the road on his bike, I have been looking forward to it. Totally lived up to expectations and would recommend.

A Wonderful Tail!
Heart warming and honest account of Dean's bicycle adventures with the adorable and plucky Nala! Quite a few dodgy accents from the narrator but, overall, well read.

Best book ever
I loved this book, although I was terrified of a tragic ending. It was also amazing to read of such contemporary issues. Certainly my book for a desert island.
