Karolis Mieliauskas
Karolis, an extreme adventure traveler from Lithuania and a VE brand ambassador since 2019, lives for the challenge of pushing his physical and mental limits. For him, every tough ride is a form of active meditation and self-discovery — with his motorcycle as the ultimate tool to explore and test his boundaries. Guided by his philosophy of self-exploration, Karolis has completed countless extreme journeys on two wheels.
A journey to Oymyakon, Siberia — the coldest inhabited place on Earth, where temperatures plunge to a staggering -58°F (-50°C), with wind chills that make it feel like -103°F (-75°C).
In 2022, a 14,000 km (8,700 miles) ride over 49 days from Lithuania to the southernmost tip of India, crossing the borders of 11 countries — including the challenging terrains of Iraq, Iran, and Pakistan.
“Baltic to Arctic 2023” — a brutal winter expedition to the northernmost point of Europe.
Karolis has crossed Lake Baikal — the world’s deepest and one of the largest lakes, with a depth of 5,387 feet (1,642 meters) — three times in extreme cold on cracking ice, in 2017, 2020, and 2021.
