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.

Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode we discuss the wine culture of the Czech Republic (Czechia if you are under 30, Czechoslovakia if you are over 60 and the Austro-Hungarian Empire if you are dead).
In particular the South Moravian wine growing region where Malc happens to spend quite a lot of time.
We will be talking about the small villages and cellars (sklepy). What a wine tasting is like, when and how to just drop by to try and buy and how much you might pay. In other parts of the country how to buy your small producer wine from Vinotekas.
