Embracing Cultural Differences

The Coffee and Rakija Podcast

Living in another Culture.

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.
