An Englishman in the Balkans is a personal podcast about life, travel, culture, and storytelling in Bosnia and Herzegovina, told from the perspective of a British-born creator who has made this country home.
Expect gentle reflections, real places, local voices, field recordings, and stories that go beyond the usual headlines.
In this episode I want to take you with me to one of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s most remarkable places. Lukomir.
Perched nearly 1,500 meters up on Bjelašnica Mountain, it’s the country’s highest permanently inhabited village. Seventeen families still call it home.
The winters bury their stone houses in snow, sometimes for months, while the summers transform the fields into wide open pastures.
On paper, it sounds like a postcard.
