ABOUT US
Laguna Viva is a professional service dedicated to guided nature experiences, led by Nature Guides and Social Educators. We offer discovery and wellbeing activities designed to foster awareness and awaken a renewed sense of belonging to the natural world around us.
“Laguna Viva” refers to the part of the lagoon that is in constant dialogue with the sea, where currents create a continuous and vital exchange between the two natural environments. In the same way, we see ourselves as a space of connection between the lagoon and the diverse natural ecosystems of the Venetian territories, united by a shared historical and environmental identity, shaped by the power of water and nourished by its unceasing flow.

Nature guide AIGAE
Venetian by birth, explorer by nature. Life circumstances led me to spend several years traveling around East Asia. The most important lesson I learned during my travels: change yourself to change the world around you. Working with enthusiasm, passion, and professionalism, I strive to create an intimate relationship between the visitor and Nature, grounded in awareness, respect, and love.

Gianmarco
Nature Guide AIGAE
Originally from Padua, with Anglo-Saxon roots on my father’s side, I have always maintained an open and curious outlook toward the world and the peoples who inhabit it. Over the years, a deep thirst for knowledge led me to pursue a philosophical education and to explore different parts of the planet, starting with my native region, whose vast cultural and natural heritage I wish to share.
Always walking, always in motion — because only through the union of body and mind can we sharpen our awareness, open ourselves to others, and fully develop our potential.

Curious traveler, thrilled by the splendor of the world. My studies and passions have taken me to places near and far, allowing me to meet and learn about places, people, stories, and lives. During one of these journeys, in Brazil, a young person told me, “You should turn your passions into your work!” Everything became clear, and I began creating workshops that share the wonders I encountered during my travels and the magic of approaching the world and others with curiosity and trust. This is exactly what I aim to convey to children and young people, offering them the kind of support that allows them to express their best selves, often marveling first at their own abilities and at the wonder of the world around us. We take care of what we know and love.

Guida Ambientale Escursionistica AIGAE
Originario di Padova con radici anglosassoni nella mia famiglia paterna, ho sempre avuto uno sguardo aperto e interessato verso il mondo e i popoli che lo abitano. Nel corso degli anni, una grande sete di conoscenza mi ha portato a perseguire una formazione filosofica e ad esplorare diversi luoghi del pianeta, a partire dalla mia regione natia, della quale voglio condividere le vaste ricchezze culturali e naturalistiche. Ovunque in cammino, sempre in movimento, perché solo dall’unione di corpo e mente possiamo stimolare l’attenzione, aprirci agli altri e sviluppare a pieno il nostro potenziale.
