THE PACK
More than a TEAM, we are bound by one common goal!
Karen Kobrowski
Tour Leader - Dreamer, Planner & Executor
Just a small town girl...living in a crazy world.
Born and raised in the suburbs of Chicago, Mamma of two strong little women, professional Designer and Certified International Tour Guide with years of experience successfully leading, supporting and managing dozens of motorcycle tours all around the world throughout Europe, South Africa, The Canadian Rockies, The Colorado Rockies and basically any place where there are mountains.
A motorcycle rider to my very core, always striving to improve my skills whether off-road dirt biking, on the race track, touring or adventure riding. As long as its on 2 wheels, I want more of it! But it is the mountains combined with riding that really move me, and it is where I have found my true passion and purpose.
Something so amazing happens while touring through endless mountain landscapes. There is a shift, and I'm not referring to the gears on the bike. Besides it being breathtakingly beautiful and the rush of adrenaline, something genuinely moves inside you. Feeling so small amongst the wonders of the rugged geography, and simultaneously larger than life as you have truly connected and become one with nature, the road, the machine and especially yourself.
That's the essence of what motorcycle touring is for me. More than just tours through beautiful landscapes, they are meaningful journeys of self-discovery. And so it is my mission to lead you there and make sure it doesn't go unnoticed.
And then we "dance" on the mountain!...on every mountain!

Saar Okashi
Tour Support - Fixer, Friend & Fun
They say that all good things come in small packages, and there is no exception here. With a heart that big you can’t help but wonder if there is any room for much more. But WOW is there ever!
Saar is the guy every rider (and guide) wants nearby. Since his adolescence he has been tearing up the trails on two wheels. Motorcycle riding is in his blood, it is his passion and he understands what you need on your ride way before you do. He is also an amateur chef and can whip up a meal anywhere, anytime with any ingredients. Come on! What more do you need? …and that is just the practical side.
The main reason we are thrilled to have him with us, is because he is a true friend, in every sense of the word, in addition to being a S#%TLOAD of fun!
We are very lucky to have him with us, and so are you!
