Life Behind the Posts - August 2025
This one features Ottoman bridges, war museums, and the end of backpacking
Every month, I'll share a more personal look at what's been going on: where we've been, what I've been working on, and a few things I've discovered or enjoyed along the way. ✨
This isn't just a travel diary or work recap, it's a chance to go deeper into the real-life moments behind the posts. Sometimes there are wins, sometimes challenges, but I always try to share something honest, useful, or thought-provoking from what I've experienced.
I'll also include a few of my favorites from the month: books, podcasts, articles, or tools that stood out and might inspire you too.
This post is just for paid subscribers, thank you so much for your support! 💛
I'm keeping these monthly updates behind the paywall for two reasons. First, they're a lot more personal, it's a real look into my life, and having it just for paid subscribers makes it feel a bit more protected and private. Second, these take me quite a bit of time to put together. I want them to be complete, thoughtful, and fun, with stories, photos, and things I've enjoyed throughout the month. Your support helps me make the time to create something meaningful here. 🙏🏼
August 1st to August 20th: Bosnia and Herzegovina 🇧🇦
Trebinje
On the last day of July, we arrived in Trebinje, our first stop in Bosnia and Herzegovina. We spent a week in this charming city. To be honest, we didn't do much there. Rosie was exhausted, so we spent the first 3 days inside relaxing and working.
We had a very relaxing day at the local 'natural' swimming pool. By natural, what I mean is that instead of a traditional swimming pool, they built a space next to the local river and diverted some water in there for people to swim safely.
