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, I delve into the idea of losing my Britishness after living abroad for nearly 25 years.
Reflecting on my early attempts to blend British traditions, especially during Christmas and summer celebrations, I discuss how these practices have faded over the years.
I also share my current nostalgia, expressed through things like British TV and morning tea rituals.
Despite challenges like a recent health scare and the difficulties of finding certain British foods, I express gratitude for my life abroad and ponder the future as I await my residency documents.
Join me as I explore the journey of being an in-betweener and the joys and quirks of expat life.
