Definitely a two man tent! On a recent 2700k bike tour in Japan using a two man Nemo Hornet I was very crowded with my gear even though I was touring alone. It was a very rainy summer and I was stuck in a humid crowded tent. The Nemo Hornet is not suited to multi month tours. The materials are first class but too light and delicate. Before you buy a “two man “ tent be sure it really is a two man tent. For a long term tour you need a spacious, robust tent for spending time in the tent during bad weather and space for your gear. My Nemo Hornet could not stand up to the demands of long term touring and is more suited to shorter tours.
