Coffee and Rakija
The Coffee and Rakija Podcast
If you didn't already know, I am a 71-year-old British expat living in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
On this Podcast, I share my thoughts on aging, my life adventures, and focusing on candid storytelling rather than polished, edited videos.
I'm inviting you to follow my journey, offering insights into my life as an "older expat" in a foreign culture.
