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 bestselling A Street Cat Named Bob, Dean shares the extraordinary tale of his and Nala's inspiring and heart-warming adventure together.

“There are moments of tension, like when Nala can’t be found for a whole morning, and profundity . . . The writing is more like people you just met at a hostel telling you about their travels after a few pints. . . Nicholson is at his best when he tells the story of a man finding a sense of purpose from an unlikely (and adorable) source…charming.”―

Review\n«Esta crónica de la entrañable amistad entre un hombre y un gato, y sus inesperadas consecuencias, es toda una delicia». Daily Mail\n«El edificante relato de sus aventuras juntos supone un bienvenido bálsamo». The Sun\n«Enternecedor y totalmente encantador». The Guardian\n«Una deliciosa narración sobre sus aventuras, completada con un álbum de fotos, que derretirá vuestro corazón». Lorraine Kelly, ITV\nTodo un fenómeno en Instagram con @1bike1world, Dean Nicholson nos cuenta la historia completa de una amistad que cambió su vida al rescatar a la gata Nala, y las inspiradoras aventuras que vivieron juntos en un viaje en bicicleta alrededor del mundo. 
Cuando, al cumplir treinta años, Dean Nicholson abandonó Escocia para recorrer el mundo en bicicleta, su propósito era aprender todo cuanto le fuera posible sobre nuestro problemático planeta. Sin embargo, no había previsto las lecciones que recibiría de su insólita compañera. 
Tres meses después de dejar su casa, en una remota carretera en las montañas entre Montenegro y Bosnia, se encontró con un gatito abandonado. Algo en los penetrantes ojos y en el lastimero maullido del desaliñado animal le resultó irresistible. No pudo abandonarlo a su suerte, así que lo subió a su bicicleta y, luego, con la ayuda de veterinarios locales, lo cuidó hasta devolverle la salud. 
Muy pronto, a través de sus viajes con la gata a la que llamó Nala, forjaron un vínculo inquebrantable al ser ambos curiosos, independientes, resistentes y aventureros. El vídeo de cómo se conocieron ha logrado millones de visualizaciones y su cuenta de Instagram ha crecido hasta llegar a más de 950.000 seguidores y ¡sigue sumando! 
Al experimentar en sus propias carnes la amabilidad de los extraños, visitando campos de refugiados y rescatando animales a través de Europa y Asia, Dean y Nala han aprendido que lo inesperado puede ser totalmente maravilloso. Con la ayuda de Garry Jenkins, el escritor que ya colaboró con James Bowen en Un gato callejero llamado Bob, Dean comparte este libro el extraordinario relato de su inspiradora y conmovedora aventura.
