Welcome to A Baby Boomer in Bosnia, an anecdotal podcast, where I tell stories from my everyday life in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This heart-shaped, but much misunderstood country.

Whether you’re tuning in for the first time or not, I’m so glad you’re here.

I share my initial perceptions and how they evolved, emphasising the significant role of family and community in Bosnian culture compared to more independent Western lifestyles.

I highlight the slower, more relaxed pace of life in Bosnia, contrasted with the rush and material focus in the West.

I also reflect on cultural habits and practices I've come to appreciate and those I miss from the West, like drinking strong Yorkshire tea and enjoying Sunday roasts.

This episode provides a deep dive into my personal experiences and observations, offering a unique perspective on life in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

In this episode, I touch on local weather, our village life, and a significant political crisis. I share my concerns about the potential unrest following the conviction of the Bosnian Serb leader and the broader historical context that led to the current situation.

I also delve into personal reflections on my life here with Tamara, contemplating the 'what ifs' that come with living in a region with a troubled past.

Despite the challenges, I express a strong desire to stay and hope for stability.

This is a raw and candid look at life in a country on edge, filled with personal anecdotes and historical insights.
