From a young age, Pablo Nemo was driven by a strong sense of adventure. Growing up in La Coruña, Spain, he was influenced by the vibrant local culture and rugged landscapes. His parents, avid outdoor enthusiasts, introduced him to camping and trekking early on. His mother, a dancer, exposed him to diverse cultures through her art, further fueling his curiosity about the world. This upbringing helped Pablo develop the adaptability and curiosity that would later be crucial in his explorations. Before his journey across Africa, he had already gained significant experience through multi-day treks, mountain climbing, and long-distance travel.
