Just three months into his trip, Dean came across an unexpected stranger that would change his life forever.

What was supposed to be a one-person bike journey across the world quickly flipped upside down when a special furry feline joined in on the party. Meet Nala, a kitten who was determined to travel the world alongside Dean, did just that – traveling to Istanbul, Azerbaijan, and Greece to name a few places. Now mind you, this wasn’t a motorcycle that Dean was riding but a bicycle. And as for Nala, well, she sat in a makeshift basket up front, careful to not miss anything as the sights rolled past her eyes. You can read more about their adventures here. They even have an Instagram and Facebook page!
