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.

In this episode Malc and David are joined by Ollie to talk about his epic overland journey from the UK to India. This first part focuses on the journey through Europe, Turkey, Syria and down into Lebanon then back up and through Iran before stopping at the Pakistan border.
We talk about the journey itself events that happened on the way and the best modes of transport for this sort of journey. Also tea, lots of tea.
It looks increasingly unlikely any of us will be travelling through Syria or Iran in the near future so we hope you enjoy this look back on a more peaceful time.
Part 2 is coming soon covering the Subcontinent, the final leg to Singapore and travels after Singapore.
