Welcome to this special throwback episode of the podcast, celebrating 10 years of “An Englishman in the Balkans”.

The journey began in 2007 in Canada, and after a brief hiatus, it was relaunched in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2013.

Over the years, the podcast has evolved, even changing titles a couple of times. This episode revisits the very first one from 2013, featuring a conversation with Kev Shannon, a young Brit who was walking across Serbia at the time.

As we celebrate a decade of podcasting, we invite you to explore our archives and see how far we’ve come.

Previous Episode

Hello, this episode is a bit different from normal, because I’m replaying a podcast episode thats not mine.

Let me explain.

Back in may I was a guest on a fantastic podcast hosted by Slavenka Vuković- Bryan called Two Worlds, One Me.

I think the podcast title is pretty explanatory, but basically my two world have been and are, the UK and my now adopted home of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Now, many of you have asked time and time again for me to talk about how I arrived here in Bosnia.

It’s a long story actually but on Slavenkas podcast I opened up for the first time.

So here’s my story.

I really really do recommend subscribing to Slavenkas amazingly interesting podcast.

Next Episode

In this episode I explore the emotional journey of Ivana Štrbac-Alfonso, who was forced to leave her home in Bosnia and Herzegovina during the conflict in the 1990s.

Ivana, who was only five to six years old at the time, lived in a village outside Zenica, a moderately large town in middle Bosnia.

The episode delves into the pain and struggle of leaving one’s country amidst conflict and seeking safety elsewhere.

Ivana eventually found a new home on Australia’s Gold Coast. The episode sheds light on her experiences as a refugee and her efforts to rebuild her life in a new country.

Ivana shares her passion for giving back to there community and how her experiences have shaped her into the person she is today.

This episode promises an insightful and emotional exploration of Ivana’s journey from being a young refugee to becoming a successful community builder in Australia.
