Postcards from Bosnia is an audio journey into the heart of Bosnia and Herzegovina, seen through the eyes of an Englishman who has made this place his home.

Thanks so much in advance.
In this episode, I sit down in the studio for a more reflective, radio-style conversation about life here in northern Bosnia and Herzegovina.
It’s Orthodox Easter weekend here, and as always, it brings with it food, family, tradition… and a reminder of how different life can be when you choose to live in a country far from where you were born.
I talk about:
The difference between Easter in the UK and Bosnia
Village life and traditions (including roast pig and “death by food”)
The recent flooding here in northern Bosnia
Getting back into walking at 73, and feeling it!
A chance encounter with a badger on a quiet country road
Why I’ve removed browsers from my phone
Slowing down, meditation, and the pressure we put on ourselves in later life
Plans for hiking in Zenica next week
And why I’m beginning to think more seriously about legacy, storytelling, and building my own website
This is a slower, more personal episode, less about information, more about reflection.
If you’ve ever thought about living abroad, slowing down, or simply making sense of life as you get older, you might find something here.
Thank You
Thank you for listening to these little slices of my life. If you’d like to get more stories, you can subscribe to my Substack, it’s free, and if you ever want to upgrade to paid but can’t afford it, just email me. I’ll sort it out, no questions asked.
Here are 3 questions I have.
What would make you hit “play” on an audio post instead of just reading?
What makes a podcast episode feel personal or meaningful to you?
Would you like me to add audio versions of my blog posts so you can choose how to enjoy them?
I’ll give a complimentary subscription to Coffee and Rakija for life for taking the time to answer.
