A Pakistani-German traveler, motorcycle adventurer and storyteller from Nankana Sahib — documenting the world through roads, people, cultures and the moments in between.
Germany became the base from which travel grew from an interest into a way of life.
Abrar grew up around Nankana Sahib in Punjab, Pakistan. He studied aerospace engineering in Islamabad and moved to Germany in 2008 for higher studies. While building a long career in the automotive sector around Frankfurt, every break from work became an opportunity to travel.
Travel began in 2008, years before the motorcycle became part of the story. By 2019, encouragement from close friends pushed him to start documenting those journeys seriously. The passion project gradually became WildLens by Abrar — and eventually became his full-time work.
The important shift was not from one profession to another. It was from seeing travel as time away from work to building a life around curiosity, storytelling and meaningful encounters with people across borders.
WildLens grew step by step: travel first, then a camera, then a motorcycle, and finally a full-time life built around telling stories from the road.
After studying aerospace engineering in Islamabad, Abrar moved to Germany for higher studies. Travel also began in 2008 and grew alongside his automotive career in Frankfurt.
Abrar has said his social-media creator journey began in 2019 after friends encouraged him to document his travels. He left his job and committed to content creation full-time.
Abrar on the beginning ↗After learning to ride to push beyond his comfort zone, Abrar set off on the cross-continent motorcycle adventure on May 28, 2020. Pandemic restrictions changed the route, but not the direction of WildLens.
Original motorcycle tour ↗The first major motorcycle story reached Nankana Sahib in Episode 52, turning the long ride home into the series that introduced many viewers to WildLens.
Watch Episode 52 ↗Abrar completed a 50-day motorcycle journey of roughly 9,000 km, reaching Madinah and Makkah and fulfilling a long-held dream of traveling to Saudi Arabia by motorcycle.
Watch the Saudi journey ↗The India friendship tour covered 17 major cities and 7,000 km in a month. The warmth of local people became one of the defining themes of the journey.
WildLens turned east through Afghanistan and Central Asia, continuing through Mongolia and East Asia before the journey reached Japan — another multi-country chapter built around local life as much as roads.
The next continental chapter began in Alaska. Through 2026 the journey continued south across the United States and Mexico, with Patagonia still ahead.
Follow S9 ↗The aim has stayed consistent: positive, relatable and family-friendly storytelling that brings cultures, local life and adventure closer to the audience while traveling responsibly.
The most memorable parts of a journey are often conversations, hospitality and ordinary local life rather than famous landmarks.
WildLens uses travel to make unfamiliar places feel human and understandable, focusing on common ground rather than stereotypes.
The goal is positive, relatable and family-friendly storytelling without turning the road into a polished highlight reel.
Respect for different cultures, patience in difficult moments and avoiding quick judgment are principles Abrar has repeatedly highlighted.
Abrar has described choosing a motorcycle as a deliberate move outside his comfort zone. He learned to ride around 2019–2020 and turned that fear into the platform for the journeys that would define WildLens.
The road became a place to learn patience, respect cultures, stay friendly and avoid judging people before knowing them.
Abrar told Kuwait Times he had already visited more than 80 countries by 2022.
The original homeward motorcycle ride was documented as a 52-part series.
A 50-day ride that culminated in Madinah and Makkah in 2022.
