A Kick Up The Balkans

The newsletter with blurred boundaries

Reporting on foreign policy, Washington, and the U.S. administration.

Writing about life in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and trying to demystify and counter the negative perceptions that many people have of this country.

Keeping up with the gender data gap (and whatever else takes my fancy).

I read the internet, so you don’t have to.

What’s it like to live in Bosnia? Join a 72 year old Englishman navigating rural life, sharing firsthand stories of village life, cultural surprises, and the ups and downs of living abroad. Perfect for anyone curious about slow living.

I mainly write about Argentine and Spanish politics, but there may occasionally be stuff about other topics. "Almagro School" comes from when I lived in Buenos Aires and used to hang out with a friend in Almagro and argue about politics.

Balkan politics, society, and culture, with some forays into other things.
