In this episode, we catch up with adventure seeker, photographer, and author Mathew Sturtevant and his equally impressive riding and life partner, Gabriella Kiss. Mathew's new book, The Topography of Fear has just been released and on the show, we talk about his struggles with anxiety and how he used 2 wheels and the Trans-America Trail (TAT) to help him overcome and wrestle with some of his biggest fears. Mathew's book can be purchased at www.thetopographyoffear.com.  Be sure to stay tuned to the end of the episode for the Epilogue to hear  the crazy story of how through our discussion on this podcast we realized we had actually met Gabriella more than 3 years ago on the trail of the Washington Backcountry Discovery Route (BDR).Links to Mathew's book and picture of Mathew, Gabriella, and their adventures and more information about  Adventure Motorcycle USA can be found at www.adventuremotorcycle.com
