Karin, Manuel, and Hopsie

On the road with Hopsie.

Hopsie is our self-built motorhome, and this site follows our travels, stopovers, favorite places, technology, and the build as it grows.

The site grows with every trip: first the map and core information, then more places, photos, and travel stories over time.
