My name is Nemo, like the clown fish in Disney's movie. I live in Palmeiras in the Chapada Diamantina since 2016 I am 35 and I was raised in south of France (region of Toulouse), where I was a teacher for 6 years. Then I took a new direction by moving to Brasil, where I first ran a restaurant in Lençóis, and then started to work as a touristic guide, trekking the trails of the National park most of my time. Now a big change happened in my life : my daughter Laila was born in january, so I started kind of a "global" project, which would be hard to explain in a few words, but has to do with education and culture, cooking, gardening....

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe in couchsurfing philosophy, it gives me the opportunity to meet people, share culture and knowledge even if living in a remote area. I hope couchsurfers will also "bring some water to my mill", bringing new ideas, showing their talents to me, my friends and all the people who visit my home.
