If you didn't already know, I am David, a 71-year-old British expat living in Bosnia and Herzegovina and someone who has lived in Bosnia and Herzegovina for the past 22 years.
This podcast blends engaging conversations with locals and narrative-driven episodes that take you on immersive journeys through the region’s history, food, and everyday life.
Just Audio Versions ⬇️
In this podcast, I share another glimpse of my life, this time during the first real snowfall of the winter.
I’ll be talking about:
Environmental challenges, including heavy snow, strong winds, and torrential rain, and their impacts on us such as power outages.
A bit about our rural lifestyle, especially what its like living with a wood-heated home.
Local food traditions, like pig slaughtering for winter food.
The benefits and challenges of living in Bosnia, such as the lower cost of living, friendly locals, and the significance of learning at least some of the local language.
I have decided to produce more “walk-and-talk”, storytelling podcasts, providing a personal account of my experiences, that I hope you will find interesting and engaging.
I mentioned that I would put the drone up to let you see what it was like here, as I recorded my “Walk and Talk” ⬇️
