We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us.

ADV HOPPERS

Agata

Works as a Clinical Trial Manager in an international company. On the motorcycle since autumn of 2009. She has ridden nearly 250 000 kilometres across Europe, Africa, South America and Asia. She is not afraid to travel alone into the unknown – in 2013 and 2014 she rode solo through the Western Balkans. The blog reporting her trip to Morocco, entered the top ten-best travel blogs in the category of “Travels and the Wide World” in the Polish Blog of the Year (Blog Roku) contest of 2011 . She shares her motorcycle passion with the love of skiing.  In her free time she works out at the gym and does some in-line skating (she has even completed a marathon). Motorcycling for her means freedom, escape, a way to express herself. It is a way to travel the world and at the same time the point, around which her world passionately turns nowadays.

Joris

After his studies, Joris had to fulfil his military service, where he choose the Para Commando Unit in the Belgian army, and that’s where he got the chance to see a big part of the world. Here he found his love for Africa, and decided to look for work in that part of the globe. That’s where his professional travel started. Taking him over Africa back to Eastern Europe where he met the other half of ADV Hoppers. Being on a motorbike for almost 30 years, and travelling, Joris found Agata’s idea for a world trip more than fitting. His adventurous spirit and technical background as an engineer will make the ADV Hoppers team more complete in their challenge to travel the world.
