Steph Jeavons

Steph Jeavons, traveller and adventurer speaks on cultures, communication and the kindness of strangers, in the most distant of places and when least expected.

Steph achieved a world record by becoming the first person to circumnavigate the globe and ride a motorcycle on all seven continents. It was a four year solo journey on a tiny budget through 53 countries and covering 75,000 miles.

In March 2015, having ridden through Europe, Asia and Australia she persuaded a small sailing yacht to let her join the crew on an expedition across the notoriously rough Drake Passage. After a week of seasickness and iceberg alerts, she lowered the bike into a small zodiac inflatable and precariously navigated through the icy waters to the shores of Antarctica, before hitching a ride home on a Russian Ice Breaker!

Steph suffered heat exhaustion in Iran, got hit by a landslide in India and hit by a truck in Colombia. She has been to the wettest, driest, hottest and coldest places on earth and ridden the highest motor-able road in the world. All of this because of a dream she held in her early twenties during tough times.

Steph is currently planning her next expedition which will be to guide the first group of all women bikers to Everest Base Camp in 2019. She speaks at events all over the world – along with her writing it is what funds her journey home.

“It was a pleasure having Steph Jeavons come to Bend, Oregon to present her travels to an enthusiastic crowd of riders, travelers and adventurers. We received 100% positive feedback from the audience, and several people have expressed how inspired they are to venture farther outside their comfort zones after hearing Steph speak. Steph’s presentation strikes an excellent balance, being both entertaining and informative. Giant Loop highly recommends booking Steph Jeavons for your event!” Harold Olaf Cecil of Giant Loop

“I had the pleasure of meeting Steph Jeavons at the 2016 Timonium Motorcycle Show, held in Timonium, Maryland, February

12th, 13th & 14th. The show has the reputation of being one of the largest, most diversified bike shows on the east coast. She was an important part of our second annual Expanded ‘Travel, Touring & Adventure Feature Area’ which consisted of the international ‘who’s who’ of long distance adventurers…sharing stories, tips and support to many of our two wheel enthusiasts who were ready to take their short trips to the next level!
She helped make the ‘Travel, Touring & Adventure Feature Area’ another huge success! Her presentations, describing her travels, held our attendees in their seats and hanging onto every word. She was fun, professional and interacted with the audience at the stage and in her booth all three days from open to close” Lisa Shackelford, Timonium Motorcycle Show, Baltimore
