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.
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.
This blog will be weekly and cover 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 be interviewing other people about their travel experiences.

We will delve into: the activies on the trip, the food, the other people on the trip as well as the Filipino support crew. There is a discussion of toilet facilities both on land and on the boat. And Malcolm reveals a surprising fantasy, although David always suspected as much 😜
The trip was organised and hosted by Seatours Palawan:

We also compare this trip to David's 2016 diving live-a-board trip in Indonesia to Komodo island. What safety protocols were ignored and would travel insurance have been void if the worse had happened 😱
