Fourteen trips, in his own words.

Freshly retired, Steven set out for his first long motorcycle tour — swapping bikes with a stranger in the Netherlands and riding wherever the road led.

A second summer on two wheels across Europe, longer than the first — proof the 2011 trip was the start of a habit, not a one-off.

A sprawling loop from the Netherlands through Central and Eastern Europe and the Balkans, then back west through the Alps — traced from his own GPS pins.

A late-season European ride, his fourth straight year touring the continent by motorcycle — this time chasing autumn instead of summer.

Steven and his friend Irina traveled separately through Southeast Asia, met up in India, then bought a car in Kyrgyzstan and drove it across the 'Stans all the way to Europe.

Colorado to Panama by motorcycle, a sailboat crossing of the Darién Gap into Colombia, then on through the Andes to Chile before wintering over in Peru.

After years touring warmer latitudes, Steven pointed the bike north to Alaska for the first time — a trip that went sideways in Canada on the way home.

Four months circling Australia by motorcycle, arriving in Sydney and tracing the outback, the southern coast, and back again.

A GPS-logged motorcycle crossing of West and Central Africa — through mud in Guinea and Congo that eventually beat both bike and rider — cut short at the Zambia–Tanzania border by COVID-19.

Once travel reopened, Steven returned to finish what COVID interrupted — this time on safari rather than motorcycle, through Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, and Burundi.

A short, spectacular week chasing fjords, mountain passes, and the midnight sun above the Arctic Circle.

A rare voyage into the remote South Pacific — French Polynesia and the almost-inaccessible Pitcairn Islands, home to fewer than fifty people.

Steven and his friend Denise started in the far west at Altai Tavan Bogd National Park; after she flew home, he bought a motorcycle and rode the rest of the country solo, sticking to paved roads to cover as much ground as time allowed.

A rented-motorcycle tour of Southeast Asia, interrupted early by an accident in Vietnam that sent Steven home to recover. He returned to finish the region after Mongolia, renting a different bike in each country.
