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.

Corporate Holidays - Travel on the company dollar
If you have never done any international or long distance home country travel for business it probably sounds glamorous and interesting; spoiler alert...it really isn't. It is a pain in the proverbial. However, there is a way to take the edge off it and that is what we are looking at today.
Malc and Dave talk about their experiences of business travel and the bonus experiences they have got from it that they would have struggled to achieve otherwise. The hacks and tips about booking and planning, who to ask and what to ask.
When you go somewhere for work you meet and spend time with people from that place, they are usually incredibly proud of their home and willing to share the best of it with anyone willing to listen, so if in doubt just ask.
We cover countries including: Saudi Arabia, India, USA, Australia, Thailand, Japan, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Switzerland, Singapore and many more.
Dave discusses which offers to accept and which to politely decline in Saudi Arabia and Malc talks about planning in advance and why trucks and airplanes should not be allowed to mix.
