Unravel Travel
David and Malcolm met at school when they were 14, and by some miracle, 40 years later they are still friends. They Interrailed together after University and for both travel has been a constant in their lives.
Out travel blog is weekly and covers everything travel related including reviews of trips taken, the business of travel, longer breaks, short breaks, travel for work and living overseas. We will also interview our friends about their interesting travel experiences.
Malcolm has been an Engineer and run several software businesses, now he is semi-retired with a part time role in IT and a full time role in life. He is a long time traveller for work and pleasure who has lived in Singapore for 2 years, is currently dividing his time between the UK and Czechia and has been an AirBnB host for 5 years.
David worked in Accounting and Financial services for many years and retired young to start a business providing walking trips and tour group holidays. David travelled extensively and took very interesting long holidays during his working life. Since retirement he has become a migratory bird, overwintering in warmer climes.
