(Mail Online)    16:23, May 27, 2016

An adventurous man quit his job as an engineer to spend his days kayaking around the Mediterranean - and is now accompanied by a canine first mate.

Sergi Basoli, originally from Barcelona, has been paddling the turquoise waters and sleeping on beaches for the past three years and has no plans to stop any time soon.

In total, the unstoppable duo have explored 3,106 miles in their tiny vessel and have made lots of new friends along the way.

Basoli and Nirvana the dog have explored 3,106 miles from their tiny vessel, and have made thousands of friends along the way

Taking to the seas, Basoli set off from the Olympic Harbour of Barcelona in 2013, and started snaking his way round the breathtaking coastlines of the Mediterranean

The intrepid explorer said he grew up watching too many Indiana Jones films and had always dreamed of living an exciting life.

He told MailOnline Travel: 'That is maybe one reason why I wanted to travel, for adventures and discoveries. But also to seek a more simple life, near nature and with less possessions.'

Taking to the seas in 2013, he set off from the Olympic Harbour of Barcelona and started snaking his way round the breathtaking coastlines.

The only thing missing from his seafaring way of life was a crew member to share it with - which came in the form of his faithful four-legged friend, a year into the trip.

Nirvana quickly became popular on the kayaker's Instagram page, where he is regularly tagged as SailorDog
