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.
In this video, I dive into the topic of safety in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
I'll discuss everything from low crime rates and local hospitality to the remnants of the war and natural hazards.
Whether you're a solo traveler or planning a holiday, you'll find practical tips to ensure a safe trip.
Plus, I'll debunk common myths about Bosnia being dangerous due to past conflicts.
Hopefully you’ll get a genuine feel for this beautiful, safe country straight from someone who calls it home.
