Sometimes, without you even expecting, your life can change. Completely. And sometimes, the reason behind it doesn't necessarily have to be a groundbreaking one. Dean Nicholson from Scotland experienced it firsthand. Back in September 2018, Dean decided to hop on his bike and cycle across the globe. Solo. The 31-year-old man was tired of his nine-to-five job and was ready for a new adventure. The road trip was going great—he travelled a few different countries and was sharing his adventures online. But little did he know, his plans were about to change.

"So just as I was coming up to the Montenegro border, I heard this little gem meowing her heart out chasing me trying to get my attention. We were about 12 miles from the nearest town so it was obvious someone had dumped her," Dean wrote in his Instagram post. "A quick re-shuffle of my bike equipment, she is now sitting happy up front leading the journey! She needs a name so feel free to fire suggestions, guys." Soon, the cat was named Nala. Dean decided to bring Nala to a vet, where he found that this cutie didn't have a microchip. After that, he finally decided to take her and continue his trip.

Fast forward to now, Dean and Nala are iconic travel buddies with over 860k followers on Instagram. With that being said, Bored Panda invites you to look through some of the best pics capturing the rescue cat Nala enjoying her adventures around the world.

    It's Nala, the Easter Kitty! She must be extremely docile and patient to put up with the costume and the photo shoot.
