À propos de ce contenu audio

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.

    • Wine in the Czech Republic

      Wine in the Czech Republic
      Jan 31 2026

      Send us a text

      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.

      This very helpful website has loads of information on the topic: https://www.visitczechia.com/en-us/things-to-do/places/gastronomic-tourism/wine-tourism/g-wine-culture-south-moravia

      Today we are discussing a necessary evil, estate agents do make a surprise appearance, but the topic is planning.

      Too much planning stifles the enjoyment and spontaneity.

      Too little planning, well you would never get out of your front door.

      We discuss the pros and cons, when to dig deep, when to free wheel.

      Planning successes, failures and some epic near misses.

      And then an update from David's trip to the Philippines, today his move to a new location and diving including with Whale sharks.

      The thrilla near Manila - A Philippine update

      Well, we were going to talk about Safaris and catch up with Dave after he landed in Cebu. But as he was right royally messed around by hosts through Booking.com, instead we discuss how it went. What to do and not to do when your accommodation falls through not once, but twice.

      Is once unlucky and twice careless?

      Will Dave get a refund?

      Will the world's tiniest violin make an appearance?

      Will anyone answer the awkward question of why he is alone in a Bridal suite?

      You will just have to listen to find out.

      Of course we also discuss the wider context, refunds, comms while travelling and Malc gives a hosts perspective for balance.
