Welcome to A Baby Boomer in Bosnia, an anecdotal podcast, where I tel 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.
In this episode of my personal anecdotal podcast, I address a listener's question about the differences between Eastern and Western mindsets, shaped by my 20 years of living in Bosnia and Herzegovina.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.
