On the show, we catch up with Sterling Noren (pronounced Nor-een) and Eva Rupert. Sterling and Eva are exceptionally accomplished individuals who together make one of Adventure Motorcycling's best dynamic duos.
Sterling is a co-founding member of Backcountry Discovery Routes (BDR) and has produced and filmed every BDR movie since 2010. His other notable adventure films include "Expedition 65", which chronicles an ADV journey through South America, and he’s got a decade's worth of Globe Rider films that span the world. When Sterling's not making epic ADV movies, you can catch Eva and him on YouTube at: Motorcycle Travel Channel.
Not to be outdone, Eva Rupert is an Event Planner and currently the Motorcycle Community Ambassador for Overland Expo. She's an accomplished ADV rider, a rock climber, a primitive survival expert who has appeared on Discovery Channel's "Naked and Afraid" not once but three times - and survived to the end each time! She's also one hell of a mixologist.
We talk with Sterling and Eva about what makes them tick, why they love ADV riding and how the BDR and Las Vegas turned a chance meeting into a life of pure adventure. Make sure you stay tuned to the end to hear Eva's pro tip on making an Old Fashioned - her best bet for your ADV campfire cocktail.

Nestled in the Lisbon Valley of Southeast Utah, the 3 Step Hideaway is a dual-sport and ADV rider's dream. Located directly on the TransAmerica Trail (TAT) and just 14 miles from the Utah Backcountry Discovery Route (BDR), the off-the-grid, rustic frontier lodge is a phenomenal stopover or basecamp for every adventure rider. Playing host to several 3-day annual rally's and offering hundreds of miles of trails through BLM land right from the front door, owners Scott and Julie Stevenson will make you feel like family. They've owned the 3 Step Hideaway since 2013 and in this episode, Scott tells us how he went from masonry contractor to owner of one of the most unique off-road B&B's in the country. Enjoy the episode!
