Not one to shy away from a challenge or two, he travels to distant locations to visit spectacular buildings and architecture, surrounds himself with sharks at 50 feet underwater, spends a night in the wilderness in a tent and the following day enjoys hanging out with the nomads, finds a spiritual encounter in an iconic palace, ventures into areas of seediness and questionable merit and then relaxes on a spectacular beach just to get away from it all.
In his quest to fulfill some lifetime ambitions, the added benefit is to become further educated about how the rest of the World works.

Travel Diaries of an Atypical Businessman “UNFILTERED”, is a revised version of the initial release from 2008, which is collection of real life experiences that is intended to hit the reader’s nerve or funny bone.
Although the title alludes to business, it should prove entertaining to anyone who has any interest in travel and cultural diversity. There are elements of danger, temptation, risk, humor, indulgence and satire in this book.
The content spans the years from 1990 to 2008, highlighting some of the business trips taken by the author. The stories are factual and reflect the events that happened at that time, but may not represent current travel experiences.
It is important to note that this revised edition is completely unfiltered compared to the first edition and affects a number of these chapters. In the 2008 version, specific names were not mentioned for a valid and unspecified reason, however due to requests from readers and the need to do the right thing. It was time to let the cat out of the bag in a "no holds barred approach."
Saying that, many of the names of business colleagues mentioned in this book have been changed in order to protect their anonymity. ​
What now appears to be an addiction or an extension of a midlife crisis, Malcolm Teasdale seems hell-bent on traveling to destinations where most people would not consider.
Whether it is trekking in the Himalayas, diving with the World’s largest fish, or hanging out in one of the seediest towns in Asia, the quest for adventure continues.
​Thimphu, Bhutan, Nagarkot, Nepal, are not household names, but that’s the beauty of it all, to go where the general population do not venture.
Explore how Malcolm deals with the physical and social challenges in far off distant lands in an effort to become educated and fulfilled.
