We’re Dean & Nala, and we’ve been best friends since December 2018. I was cycling around the world when I heard Nala meowing out for me somewhere in the Bosnian mountains. With no intentions of keeping Nala, I knew i had to save the wee kitten and take her to the vet – but I was well aware of the fact that it might be a bit of a challenge considering I only had a bike. However, despite my concerns, Nala quickly climbed out of the front bag on the bike handle and straight onto my shoulder. Since then, we’ve been travelling the world together. So feel free to tag along if you’re interested in following our journey and adventures around the globe ❤️

Wow, your little adventure looks so fun! Why didn’t you invite me? Meowww~"
getting your sea legs back my man? Nala is such a sweet pea
I was in Germany & Belgium in October 2024. I love the little towns on the outskirts of the big cities. I took a day trip to Bruges from Brussels via train and loved the scenery of those towns. It looks like you & Nala enjoyed yourselves. Be safe, Dean, and take care of Nala. ❤
Dean, do you ever get Nala meaty or cheesy treats from the continental buffets at break fast, all she seems to get is kibble, that can be long term toxic due to the cooking process and preservatives, some of which give it an infinity shelf life.😊
Nala is a real adventure cat she seems to really enjoy the bike, great video what lovely places you are visiting have fun
Love that you & Nala have a safe place to go and stay at the end of your cycling each day, and also glad you have a safe bike path to ride on instead of those busy, dangerous highways
That was a lovely ride.
Hello 😊❤🎉 how do you do !
Nice to see you still on your travels guys
Hi Dean and Nala, it's always nice to see you 🥰
💗💗🐈🚴💗💗
Beautiful and inspiring Nala!❤
Just beautiful and gentle.
This Vlog#180 has been the best one since you started riding the bike again.
You know, you CAN wash your shirt. People would appreciate the fact that you wore it. I don't think it adds "value" by not washing it 😄
My tortishell kitty girl says Meowdy Nala, im in Texas
❤❤🐈
Nala ' s face is lovely ! Thank you Dean 🇦🇷❤️ Enjoy your trip ❤❤❤
Glad you found a nice wee hotel and pool — after that long cycle. Beautiful weather, so great to see pet friendly places. Stay safe Dean & Nala, we luv you lots! 🐾🤍🍃🙌🏼
Dean you are so lucky, l miss my cat so much. She had a wonderful personality just like Nala, she reminds me of my little 'un so much. Very chatty too. Love the conversations you have with Nala, l remember the chats l used to have, amd she had Cattitude, having a stubborn little streak, but so lovable. Thank you for reminding me. 😸
God bless you two. Amen
follow you and Nala for a while from the norteast of Belgium , my 2 housecats Bit (16yo) and Mylo(8yo) enfjoy it also. Have safe trips there !
Cute cat 🐈.😘
Nice video thank you for sharing. ❤❤
SO clean the streets! Port Elizabeth – Gqeberha SA – is disgusting how litter hanging on fences etc has become known as the national 'flower'… Municipalities are totally nonfunctioning by looks of things…
Spoke to visiting foreigners from Europe and their disgust was obvious…
Sad…
Dogs have MASTERS… Cats have staff…
😂😂😂😂😂
Pretty baby❤❤❤❤❤❤
This comment is for Dean and I'm going to be posting it a lot in the hopes that he eventually sees it. Hope this won't offend anyone. Dean you're not 20 anymore, and and as someone with a background in nutrition I strongly recommend that you start taking electrolytes. Electrolyte minerals are critical to heart function, brain function but they also buffer acids in the body. When you cycle every day you generate a lot of lactic acid which requires electrolytes to buffer that lactic acid. When the body doesn't get adequate amounts of electrolyte minerals it simply will start to break down its own fluids, tissues and organs to get them because buffering these acids is critical to maintaining your blood pH of 7.4. So your body will start leaching calcium and sodium from your bones and joints and other places. Thus you must supplement electrolytes particularly because of all your exercise. I don't mean table salt! No matter what anyone tells you, table salt, Himalayan salt, Celtic Sea salt is not the ideal way to get electrolyte minerals. You can find electrolyte drinks and electrolyte powders. They're not ideal such as fresh, raw vegetable juices(sorry, fruit juice won't do it) but I realize that's not going to be easy for you on your current travels. Whenever you are in a sizable city I suggest you find a juice bar and get a tall glass of carrot and celery juice(a little ginger is excellent too) as this will do wonders for replenishing your electrolyte mineral reserves. But at the very minimum, go into a supplement store and just buy some electrolyte packets or an electrolyte liquid supplement to put in your water. This is absolutely crucial. Wishing you and Nala continued safe and joyful travels.❤
Fabulous journey with you Dean, the cycle pathways so pretty, picturesque, and Monschau and absolute gem of a little town, so beautiful. Nala looks so comfy and better with her new bed in the basket, she’s so chilled 😽👍😽❤️ stay safe in the sun guys, good idea to keep Nala under cover. 👍😽🌞
Hotel rooms are so much safer than rough camping. Good call!
Gracias Dean por el vídeo, me encanta ver a tu hermosa compañera de ruta.😸😸
Who DOESN'T love sangria?? Drink one for me, Mom and Auntie!
🥰😘❤️❤️❤️🐈
I see that tasteless "tagging" of public spaces is not isolated to the USA. But, I also see why so many Europeans settled in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana: the scenery is quite similar.
so funny that ole fella behind you watching you talk to a camera lol
Nala is so beautiful. She is clearly happy and content. A fulfilling life for the perfect companion.
ありがとうございます!
Dean, I don’t know if you will read this or not, but I hope you do…
Loving the new cycling tour, keep the uploads going, I’m sure it must be hard work editing and posting all the vlogs….
If it’s any consolation, I’ve been cycling to work a lot recently in the UK (Suffolk) -and it was really windy today… I was pushing really hard and felt like I was getting nowhere… 11 miles of headwind, so I feel your pain!
Also, my dad is Scottish (Montrose). It’s lovely to hear you say ‘stour’ instead of dust/dirt, i’m sure it must confuse some people!
I didn’t notice it on your original Vlog when you found Nala, but since this upload (I didn’t watch all the van episodes!!) Sorry…
Burning question, why do you wear one black croc and one white croc?
Also NALA IS SOOO CUTE. I have a three legged ginger retard for a cat…. I love him to bits, but I think he might have one brain cell.
❤🎉😊
It's nice that you were in Aachen and surroundings. It's a pity that I didn't see you both on your way. Nala is a very lovely cat. I wish you and Nala
a nice bike tour through the beautiful area of the Eifel mountains. God will be with you both.
You seem to love visiting Germany !
That building you said was closed down looks a LOT like the hotel where you’d forgotten something important enough for you to go back even though the hotel was closed for the season.
Nada hermosa ! Gracias por tus videos, me dan paz al terminar mi trabajo del día …
I know you ar3 I Europe. but if you ever make it to Ohio USA or Indiana, California, Kentucky, let me know. I'll put you up for a few days in a nice hotel
Nala ! Le chat le plus heureux au monde ! ❤❤❤❤🐾🐾🐾🐾
