I’m David, an Englishman who swapped life in the UK for the slow, rich rhythms of rural Bosnia and Herzegovina over 20 years ago.

I now live in a small village in the north of the country with my wife Tamara, our 2 dogs and 7 cats, surrounded by hills, forests, and the occasional sound of distant church bells and so many birds.

Before moving here, I spent the past 35 years of my life in media. From analogue radio studios to digital editing suites.

I’ve been a broadcaster, voice-over artist, media trainer, and content creator long before those titles were trendy.

I’ve trained journalists, mentored podcasters, and helped small organisations across the world tell their stories with impact.

Now, I use those same skills to support aspiring creatives, who want to explore podcasting, YouTube, storytelling, or simply learn how to use their phone to capture moments that matter.

I offer:
• Creative Story Telling - for capturing your audiences attention
• Podcasting made simple – planning, recording, editing, publishing
• Voice-over coaching – for intros, narration, and personal branding
• Content strategy sessions – for YouTube, Substack, or your own creative platform
• One-to-one mentoring – for creatives who don’t want fluff, just practical help

At heart, I’m a storyteller.
Whether it’s through my blog Coffee and Rakija, my podcast An Englishman in the Balkans, or a walking chat with someone from the region, I love capturing life as it really is.

No Filters. No Fakery.
