Welcome!
This page is a short introduction about my mission and journey.
I am an Educator from Rio de Janeiro/Brazil who started a trip around the world in March 2017. My plan is to travel for five years (one year in each continent) visiting innovative schools and sustainable/spiritual communities, learning in practice as a volunteer and exploring the world in a transformative way.
My purpose is to co-create a sustainable school in Brazil that will be for all, specially for poor people, based on Gaia Education principles. It will be a so-called forest or green school where children will learn personal, social and technical skills they choose themselves in nature. It is a personal and social project. I don´t have any sponsor, only my dreams, my backpack and a small budget. I quit my job (after 20 years of career in the corporate world) to make these dreams come true.
The base of my project is the cooperation. I really believe in a gift-economy, in the synchronicity of the Universe and in the good essence of human beings.
I have spent much of the past three years in Europe, Asia and Oceania living at ecovillages and working as a volunteer for impact sustainable communities, NGOs, social and educational projects across the globe, learning and sharing experiences about Education and Sustainability and proving that is possible!
My website is in Portuguese, as my main purpose is to inspire people in Brazil. However, during the travels, more and more people abroad have become interested. Unfortunately, I don´t have enough time to write both in Portuguese and English.

The blog Voe Nessa is a space to share my experiences about Education and Sustainability.
On the Homepage, you can find some of the articles published about my journey in different medias and some information about my partnerships. And on My Flights page, all the places I visited with the support of a huge international cooperation network (my angels!).
On Education and Sustainability pages, I share all schools, communities and NGOs which I visited, observed, lived or worked as a volunteer.
“Our actions, however small they may seem, are capable of changing the world. In every moment, we make life choices. If we connect to the planet and to others, we will be a bridge to a sustainable future. Each one of us makes our own Tomorrow. And together we make ours – the Tomorrows we want.” (Museum of Tomorrow, Rio de Janeiro / Brazil)
