Karolis Mieliauskas, record rider, adventure traveler, inspirational speaker, and father of three, was born in 1982. At the age of six, he spotted moto travelers from far Germany, a rarity in the former Soviet Union. These foreigners entranced the young Karolis and played a big role in inspiring him to ride motorcycles. Karolis says: "For me, a tough motorcycle ride is a perfect method for active meditation. In my matter, the motorcycle acts as a tool to test the upper limits of one's performance and to explore the self by witnessing. I believe the horizons of consciousness are so wide that constant cognition is one of the most important things in life. We all know where our comfort zone ends. But how often do we target to spend time beyond that zone? Yes, it is challenging and simply uncomfortable. But every minute/hour/day we spend there expands our comfort zone."
