Embracing Cultural Differences

THE COFFEE AND RAKIJA PODCAST

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 share my personal journey of living in Bosnia and Herzegovina for over 22 years.

I talk about my fascination with experiencing new cultures and how it contrasts with the experiences of other expats from the UK and the US.

Despite being deeply rooted in my British heritage, I have embraced local customs without trying to impose my own culture.

I also discuss my unique 'in-betweener' status and reflect on the cultural identity challenges that come with long-term relocation.

Join me as I explore the joys and struggles of adapting to a new way of life while still holding on to my British roots.
