Nala's World
Nala's World: One Man, His Rescue Cat, and a Bike Ride around the Globe | Dean Nicholson
10 posts | 7 read | 5 to read
Discover the heartwarming true story of a life-changing friendship between a man and his rescue cat, Nala, as they adventure together on a bike journey around the world -- from the Instagram phenomenon @1bike1world. 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 bestselling A Street Cat Named Bob, Dean shares the extraordinary tale of his and Nala's inspiring and heart-warming adventure together.

I started following the duo on Instagram after I saw the video from the Dodo, & I loved them instantly! I loved getting to read more of Dean & Nala's story. 😻😻😻

Readergrrl Me too!! Loved the original video and started following years ago now. What an interesting duo!!! 2y
WorldsOkayestStepMom @Readergrrl for sure! I love how much Dean & Nala love each other and I hope he comes out with a second book when he finishes traveling the globe. 2y
Readergrrl I‘ve loved his posts with his family too! But, yes, it‘s wild how he meets new people and they just welcome him into their homes! What a way to travel! 2y

Still working through the tagged book, but tried to buy new Kindle content through Amazon's app and got this message. 😡

Clare-Dragonfly You can‘t buy Kindle content through the Amazon app on iOS either 🤷🏻‍♀️ 2y
WorldsOkayestStepMom @Clare-Dragonfly I wonder why though? I bought all my Kindle content through the app until today. 2y
Clare-Dragonfly I think it‘s because the platforms charge fees to sell through apps? But if you can buy regular stuff… maybe it‘s just digital content? Books specifically, since Google and Apple have their own ebook stores? 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🙄 2y
WorldsOkayestStepMom @Clare-Dragonfly I can buy other items through the app, just not digital content. Idk. It's weird. I'll just buy Kindle content through my Kindle now I guess rather than my phone. 2y

My March reads. It was an interesting month - three non-fiction reads exceeds the total NF I would read in a whole year. Nala‘s World was my fave of the three because… well, a cat! 🐱

Dean did a great job telling his story with Nala. Sometimes I felt as if I were right there with them. I wonder though, if maybe the story was written too soon seeing as they have much more traveling to do and have not even made it halfway around the world yet. I will definitely be following their travels through social media from now on. I definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for a good nonfiction read. Book 17 of 2020

This was such a refreshing read. 🐱💚

Nala is an abandoned kitty who Dean finds while biking through Europe. The two form an incredible bond and this book follows their adventures and the friends they make along the way. Loved it! 💜💜💜

Bonus- it helped with #ReadingEurope2020 @Librarybelle @BarbaraBB
