I wouldn't personally know, but I think anywhere where one person does something that's a large part of their life, and another doesn't, there is a definite gap. If you're travelling with a non-hopper, you may get places slower, when you know you could get there by train. So that aspect may be suffocating. And you're not really going to be able to discuss hopping as much as
you would with hopping friends.
Just my opinion, not sure if that answers your question.
