Practise A Little Kindness, Just Travel!

It’s been a while since I posted my last travel post. Life catches up with us and gets in the way sometimes. But I’m delighted to be back with stories not just about London but stories beyond the capital. Follow these late Summer quotes to ease your travels.

If you’ve been following my blog for a while, it will be of no surprise that I love motivational quotes. The focus of this blog post is a reminder or encouragement about practising good values. Practise A Little Kindness, Just Travel!

Paying attention to life, jobs, our family, relationships, friends and us is paramount. Something dies when we neglect people, our homes or the environment. Just like a flower; if you don’t tend to it, it will wither. If you stay in your comfort zone, you will risk learning about people, places and culture.

‘It wasn’t until I cared for the garden that I truly noticed the flowers and realised that I would lose them forever if they were not watered.’ – James McInerney

Poetry

Possitivity thru poetry

 

Accepting that everyone is different is a sign of wisdom and maturity. We are not of the same makeup or temperament. Everyone has his or her interests, likes and dislikes and we work in different spheres of influences. 

‘Everyone is different. We all have our mountain to climb, the dizzy heights that leave people breathless, can also for some, exist at its base.’ – James McInerney

Look out for strugglers when travelling or commuting. You never know what your neighbour, work colleague or the passenger next to you, is dealing with. Don’t be presumptuous! Being kind to people, pets and the environment doesn’t cost much. 

‘Always be kind to everyone that you meet in your travels and remember that flowers bloom when the sun shines. They open up because they trust its warmth. People do too.’ – James McInerney

About the Author: Bola

About me and Journeywithbola.com I’m Bola, a London-based travel writer and blogger with over 20 years of writing experience and a background in business and finance, administration, journalism, teaching, and support work across the education and homelessness sectors. I help women over 60 discover the world again, in confidence, friendship and freedom. Since launching my blog in 2013, I’ve been on a mission to inspire and empower women—especially senior women who may feel isolated—to step outside their comfort zones and rediscover the joy of exploration. My work focuses on uncovering hidden historical gems in London and beyond, bringing their stories to life in ways that are engaging, accessible, and meaningful. I believe travel isn’t just about going far—it’s about seeing familiar places with fresh eyes. Over the years, I’ve met many people who have barely explored London despite living here, often held back by routine. That’s where I come in. Through my blog and curated group trips, I help women experience the city (and the world) like curious travellers, not just residents. My trips are designed to be more than just journeys—they’re shared experiences that build confidence, connection, and lasting memories. Whether we’re walking through historic streets or venturing further afield, the goal is always the same: to inspire you to move, explore, and embrace new possibilities. Because I truly believe—we are not meant to stay still. If you’re able to move, in any way, then keep moving. My passion for travel began in childhood, inspired by watching my parents explore the world. That early influence shaped my belief in travel as a powerful tool for well-being, growth, and transformation. The Vision Of Journey With Bola Create a community of mid-luxury travellers.
