  • Am I Leaving Bosnia? A Personal Reflection
    Mar 16 2025

    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.

    Join me on a reflective Sunday walk as I discuss the current state of affairs 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.
