Your guide to sights and stories in London and beyond
Hello I’m Bola,
I’m a London, UK boomer and one of the growing numbers of travel bloggers and a believer of wellbeing through travel. I write to inspire and motivate women like me, who like exploring historical London and beyond in a fun, healthy and imaginative way. Most of my trips are by foot while others are by wheels or wings.
My travel inspiration stems from my childhood and I love to inspire other women who haven’t caught that travel bug yet. Travel regularly to build your confidence and see places with a new set of eyes and look out for motivational quotes along the way.
On my website, you will find low-cost travel tips in form of Health and Fitness, People and Networking, Places, Life journey, Meals, Hotels, Airbnb’s, Bed and Breakfast, Trips, Maps and Travel Guides.
Follow my travels around London and beyond, on social media.

Travel Light On Your First Hike By Only Taking These Essentials
Harsh weather has the potential to lead to delays, meaning that you should also take along sunscreen of at least SPF 15 or higher, as well as sunglasses, and of course, rain macs for if things go the other way. Sat nav on your phone isn’t going to work when you’re out in the wild, so navigation tools are the absolute first things you need to stock up on.
