Welcome to An Englishman in the Balkans, the podcast where I explore the fascinating culture, history, and everyday life in Bosnia and Herzegovina, this heart-shaped, but much misunderstood country.

I’m David, your host, sharing stories, insights, and conversations from my life here in the north west of the country.

Whether you’re a longtime listener or tuning in for the first time, I’m so glad you’re here.

In this episode, I share the story of Helge Kristensen, a Norwegian who first came to Bosnia and Herzegovina seven years ago, drawn by the affordable skiing on Jahorina Mountain. What started as a budget-friendly adventure quickly turned into a deep appreciation for the charm of the region and the warmth of its people.

Fast forward to today, Helge is back. Not for skiing, but to hike through Bosnia’s stunning landscapes with Ćejf Reisen, a local travel agency. His journey is a testament to the country’s unspoiled nature, incredible hospitality, and the lasting impression it leaves on everyone who visits.

I hope Helge’s story inspires you to see Bosnia through fresh eyes and maybe even plan your own adventure to this hidden gem.
