Christoph Baumgarten and Balkan Stories Dot Net

Christoph Baumgarten and Balkan Stories Dot Net.

As a Blogger/Vlogger it can sometimes be a bit lonely, trying to come up with topics and ideas for future content, either as Blog Posts or Vlogs for my youtube channel.

Over the past 2 years I have become increasingly more in contact with a Blogger, also keenly interested in the Balkans, but from Vienna in Austria. His name is Christoph Baumgartner and he runs Balkan Stories, a blog in German.

We have struck up an "online" friendship and recently during a visit to Bosnia and Herzegovina we managed to catch up in Banja Luka. I had intended to video the interview I wanted to produce for my Balkan Adventures Podcast BUT, the camera decided to stop at the 16 minute point.

These things do happen, sadly. However, the audio recorded to the end :) Christoph's insights into the Balkans are extremely interesting and, I think, compliment my own.

Hello! I’m David, a retired British expat living in the heart of Bosnia and Herzegovina. After over 25 years in this fascinating country, I’ve embraced its rich culture, history, and way of life, finding new adventures in a slower-paced but deeply meaningful lifestyle.

This podcast is my way of sharing that journey with you. From personal stories of adapting to a new culture to uncovering hidden gems, local traditions, and the delicious cuisine of the Balkans, I invite you to explore life here through my eyes.

Whether you’re curious about expat living, passionate about travel, or simply love a good story, this podcast offers a warm, relatable perspective on finding joy in a life less ordinary. Join me as I share tales of discovery, inspiration, and connection from Bosnia and beyond!
