You don't have to spend much time on the Internet to find cats or cyclists, or people traveling the world.
Back in September, 31-year-old Dean Nicholson left his hometown of Dunbar, Scotland. He was tired of his job as a welder, so he cycled 200 miles to Newcastle, where he took a ferry to the Netherlands.
How often, though, do you find an article or anything else about a cat and a cyclist traveling the world together?
Oh, and said cyclist is cycling around the world with his cat.
Back in September, 31-year-old Dean Nicholson left his hometown of Dunbar, Scotland. He was tired of his job as a welder, so he cycled 200 miles to Newcastle, where he took a ferry to the Netherlands.
From there, he cycled through Europe until he took another ferry from Italy to Croatia. He continued riding to Bosnia, where, he says, he was "going up a steep hill with music blaring out of my speaker" when "I heard a desperate meow from behind me." After he got off his bike to stroke the "wee, scrappy little thing", he said,"wouldn't leave my side."
He hadn't planned on finding a traveling companion, but "I just couldn't bring myself to leave her there alone," Nicholson explains. He named her Nala and they have been "inseparble" ever since and are now in Santorini, Greece.
Nicholson has set up a Go Fund Me page to pay for Nala's vet bills and get her back to the UK when he finishes his trip. He's also paying vet bills for Balou, a puppy he found in Albania. He gets frequent updates on the pooch, who's living with a vet in Albania but will soon have a new home with a family in London.
I'm sure they'll love Balou. But they won't have the adventures Nala is sharing with Dean Nicholson!
