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'll also explore the stories, culture, and a slice of life from my rural village that make this corner of the world so special for me. I’m really glad you’ve decided to join me today. In this video, I address a common question from my viewers:/readers/listeners, “what does it cost to live in Bosnia and Herzegovina?” I take a shallow dive into the expenses you'll encounter, from rent and utilities to groceries and entertainment, and compare them with Western standards. A budget of $5,000 a month is more than enough to live comfortably here, even lavishly by local standards. I discuss the average local income, the affordability of various necessities, and the pros and cons of living in cities versus rural areas. Whether you're considering a move or just curious, this video will give you a clear picture of life in Bosnia.

In this video I share my experiences with local customs in Bosnia and Herzegovina, particularly the concepts of 'zrak' and 'promaja.' As someone over 70, adapting to these cultural nuances is both amusing and perplexing. I discuss the tradition of airing out homes in the morning and the age-old warning against drafts, which apparently can make you sick. As I reflect on these cultural differences, I invite you to share your own funny stories about promaja. It's a beautiful sunny Sunday, and I hope this video finds you well.

In this episode, I delve into the concept of 'Veze' – a critical social structure in Bosnia and Herzegovina based on connections and relationships. I share my personal experiences as a foreigner navigating this system and reflect on how it contrasts with cultural norms from the United Kingdom. From my early days running a media project in 1998 to my present life here, I discuss the integral role of connections in everyday Bosnian life and how it influences family, business, and even politics. Hopefully it will give you an insight into this unique cultural aspect and how it has shaped my life in Bosnia over the past 22 years. Thank you for tuning in to Coffee and Rakija .

THE COFFEE AND RAKIJA PODCAST
THE COFFEE AND RAKIJA PODCAST podcast artwork
 
Hi, it’s David here, and welcome to another episode of Coffee and Rakija , the podcast where I share my life as an Englishman living in the beautiful and sometimes surprising Balkans. I'll be sharing stories from the perspective of an over 70's guy, living in rural Bosnia and Herzegovina. I'll also explore the stories, culture, and a slice of life from my rural village that make this corner of the world so special for me. I’m really glad you’ve decided to join me today. In this episode, (minus the tea), I dive into the journey you might take if you are considering retiring here. This episode was spurred on by a question from our previous video from a follower who lives in Houston, Texas. I look at the various ways you might be able to retire here whether it's through setting up a business, buying property, or getting married. I also explain the 90 in 180 days visa rule, and give some of my personal encounters and tips. Finally I’ll talk about the health care system, local culture, benefits of living here, and the welcoming nature of Bosnia Herzegovina thats made my retirement enjoyable. Thank you for tuning in to Coffee and Rakija . I hope you enjoyed today’s episode and that it gave you a little more insight into life and culture here in this fascinating part of the world.
