    I am Zimbabwean 🇿🇼 I spent a week in Montago Bay Jamaica 🇯🇲. I enjoyed the stay learnt a lot from the history of Jamaica . I met a Jamaican guy named Tinashe ( Shona name ) at Hyatt Ziva hotel , I thot he was from Zim . He was named by an African missionary From Zim who had visited during his birth . Enjoyed river rafting went past the school where bolt started off his trainings . Beautiful tropical country reminds me of Honde valley Vumba in Manicaland Zim . 🎶 🎤 Natty Dread it in-a (Zimbabwe) …..next time God willing I will be on road trip to Kingston 🇯🇲

    Jamaica is definitely the most loved country in Zim. Dancehall and reggae culture has been well adopted. We had a lot of dancehall and reggae artists who played in Zim. Including Morgan heritage, Romain virgo, Movado. Beenie man, Freddy McGregor, buju, shabba and the list goes on. Big up unno self.

    Dating scene in zimbabwe is more complicated, as its very traditional (most girls are not allowed to stay out for the night or be out past 7pm without a valid reason otherwise u will be forced to marry them instantly or pay damges to the girl parents in form of cow amd money.
    Language 95 % can speak fluent English
    & please strictly stay away from the rivers they are full of crocodiles.
    Enjoy lovey zimbabwe
