LA 69 Holiday Home - modern, secure and clean 3-bedroomed house in Belvedere.

So, let me begin. I am the managing host for LA 69 Holiday Home which is a family owned property located in Belvedere, west of Harare City Centre in Zimbabwe. I live with my family in England. I am a Management and Development Consultant by profession with working experience in over 18 countries across the world. A Pan-Africanist and global citizen, I have lived in four countries assimilating different cultures, learning new languages and building strong professional and personal relationships.

In my work, I have travelled through dense mangrove forests in Papua New Guinea, been covered by the harmattan fog in Northern Nigeria and explored ancient Roman ruins in Tunisia. I have met with national and traditional leaders, government ministers and senior public servants, judges, emirs, senior clergy and chief executives of private and civil society organisations, as well as thousands of professional staff and ordinary citizens.

I enjoy my role as a holiday home host and what really motivates me is the opportunity to serve guest of every nature and background and to ensure that their needs for a quiet and comfortable holiday stay are well met. When I am not hosting guests and consulting for my clients, I am a freelance writer, columnist and blogger. So, what can I do for you today?
