Who I Am & Why I Care About Travel
Scandinavian Insight, African Heart
From Scandinavia to Southern Africa – A Journey of Heart and Perspective
I’m Anette Ruud Hennum — a Norwegian travel consultant with a deep love for Zimbabwe and Southern Africa.
My Holiday Life Travels is my space to connect travellers and tourism brands through thoughtful, experience-driven journeys. With years of cross-cultural work behind me, I bring clarity, creativity, and care to everything I do.
Independent Travel Consulting & Creative Direction
I help individual travellers plan with confidence, support tourism brands looking to connect with the Nordic market, and work with travel agents designing meaningful Southern African tours. My work blends practical advice with local insight — always shaped by intention, trust, and real-world experience.
Grounded Guidance
Receive honest, tailored input shaped by lived experience — not theory. I help you plan with clarity and care.
Zimbabwe Expertise
Gain trusted insights into Zimbabwe’s culture, regions, and guest expectations — so you can promote or explore with confidence.
Smart Travel Advice
Save time, avoid overwhelm, and get direction that suits your purpose, pace, and preferences — with Nordic-standard support.
Why Zimbabwe?
Zimbabwe is one of Africa’s most underrated treasures. With stunning landscapes, rich heritage, and warm hospitality, it has endless potential for travellers seeking depth and beauty. I’m passionate about helping the right stories be told — and guiding more people to experience Zimbabwe the way it deserves.
