He is not yet 20 but Stevens has already seen plenty of sights in football. He has been to the United States twice, had a football scholarship in Christchurch, experienced a trip to Singapore and an O-League experience in Fiji, and awaits a trip to China next month.
But it is what awaits in New Zealand next year which really gets the former Kaikorai Valley College and Otago Boys' High School pupil excited.
New Zealand is hosting the Fifa Under-20 World Cup, and Stevens is right in line to be involved.
Stevens, who turned 19 in February, is back in Dunedin, and getting used to Mum's cooking again, for a week, away from his Wellington base.
He has just been named in the New Zealand under-20 team to play in the Panda Cup, a four-nation tournament in China next month.
Being named in that side has Stevens in the box seat to be selected in the New Zealand team for next year's age group tournament at home, although he is not counting his chickens yet.
''We do not talk about it much, really. It is still a long way away and everyone is focused on what is going on at the moment,'' he said.
''But it is going to be great for the country and the fans, just to see the standard of football on display.''
Stevens, a striker, now plays his club football for Miramar, and plays for Wellington in the national summer league.
As well as that, he played for Waitakere in the O-League qualifiers in Fiji in April. Plus he is on a fulltime youth contract with the Wellington Phoenix in the capital.
It does not leave much time for anything else.
''I haven't got time for anything else but football, really. I wish I could get a job but it is too hard. We have to train with the Phoenix every day and we are the same as the senior guys.
''It is pretty full-on. I just enjoy playing. I don't mind where I play and wherever I end up.''
It all seems a long way from when he first joined Caversham as a 5-year-old.
He worked his way through the grades and was playing premier league football for Green Island by the time he was 15.
He was then spotted by a scout and invited to the Asia Pacific Football Academy in Christchurch, where he received a scholarship and attended for one year.
He was offered a scholarship at a college in Colorado in the United States but turned it down as he thought he was too young.
While playing for Green Island and Otago United in 2012, he was contacted by Miramar and ended up heading to the capital.
From there, his career has escalated, although it has not always been plain sailing.
''When I first got up to Wellington I didn't enjoy it that much. It was just too full-on, too busy. I ended up being too tired to do anything. I was training morning and night but it came right in the end.''
Stevens, who is 65kg, has just come back from three games in Auckland, against Fiji (twice) and Papua New Guinea, where the New Zealand under-20 team won all three games.
The tournament in China will be a step-up in intensity for the New Zealand team as the side will play heavyweights Croatia, Brazil and home side China.
The New Zealand side has players from all round the world, with eight players based overseas.
