ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Claudia | vanillanoor
Available for hire
Hey guys! My name is Claudia, a passionate content creator, video editor, freediver, and mountains & sea lover.
I lived in Italy for most of my life and a couple of years ago I relocated to the United Arab Emirates, and I am now based in Dubai.
Growing up surrounded by majestic mountains and stunning nature in Italy, I've developed an insatiable thirst for exploration.
I started to explore the beauty of the Arabian peninsula since I relocated, and currently I am focused on the United Arab Emirates and Oman.
As an expat, I have been exploring and documenting every corner of these countries, and I am still surprised to find new hidden gems and delighted to visit my favourite places again and again.
I want to be helpful to make your Middle East experience as smooth as possible - and as well as Italy, my beautiful home country.
My maps and guides have a lot of spots saved and organised, including hikes 🥾, lake 🚤, waterfalls 💦, wadi 🏞️, beaches 🏖️, coffee ☕️, lifestyle 🏙️ etc.
What else?
🗺️ customs itinerary UAE 🇦🇪, OMAN 🇴🇲, ITALY 🇮🇹: tailor/made trips just for you (disponibile anche in Italiano - также доступно на русском языке)
📌 curated recommendations: discover hidden gems and local favourites.
I really hope you like my products and thank you so much for supporting my business, it means the world to me!
