Adam Andres Pawlikiewicz Mesa

Adam is a Polish-Colombian first generation American and bikepacker of 8+ years. Growing up on Ancestral Cheyenne / Ute Lands (aka Colorado) as a third culture kid, speaking a mix of all three languages at home, his natural state is to be “on the go” in between multiple worlds. His bikeventures have taken him across the USA, Colombia, and Peru as he continues to learn more about his Latin American heritage and the lands he calls home. As a multiracial visual storyteller, this perspective is why Adam’s mission is to change broken, misinformed narratives about BIPOC communities in the outdoor industry. Professionally, he’s shot for editorials such as UltraRunning, Bikepacking Journal, Rock & Ice, and Gym Climber Magazine. He’s also produced commercial campaigns for Salsa Cycles, Liv/Giant, and Adidas Terrex. As a bikepacker, he’s been featured in National Geographic Travel and Adventure Cycling Magazine. He shares stories and photos @adamonthego.
