Bonamii
Bon — your personal travel guide

Bon Knows You

Every traveler has been handed the same list. The same ten restaurants. The same "top attractions." The same algorithm, guessing. Bonamii exists because we got tired of guessing.

We're a cultural company using technology — not a tech company doing travel. At the center of it all is Bon, your personal guide, learning who you are through real conversation and showing up exactly when it matters: where you're standing right now, where you've already been, and whatever you ask. No scrolling. No noise. Just the discovery that was always meant to be yours.

Your Personality, Your Passport.

Where Bon shows up

One movement, told in every culture Bon touches.

Bon doesn't hand you a generic list of landmarks — it surfaces what's actually worth your time, wherever you are: a waterfall climbed by locals for generations, a temple courtyard at the right hour, a festival street lit for one night only. This is the kind of discovery Bon is built for.

Our story

Build to Win, Not Compete

This didn't start in a boardroom. It started with decades of bringing people together — across cultures, across cities, across the table.

Bonamii is what happens when that instinct meets a real problem: travel platforms treat every traveler like a stranger. We're building something that treats you like someone worth knowing.

Every recommendation on Bonamii is earned. No pay-to-play. No vendor gets seen on your personal recommendation because they spent more — only because they belong. That's not a feature. That's the whole point.

The corridor

"We're not launching everywhere at once. We're moving through the cultural corridors where our relationships already run deep — because trust travels slower than an app download, and we'd rather earn it right than fake it fast."

  • Jamaica — first
  • Canada — home base
  • Panama — next
How it works

Meet Bon

Bon isn't a search bar. Bon is the friend who already knows where you should go before you finish asking.

01

You talk. Bon listens.

A real conversation about your taste — not another form to fill out.

02

Bon knows you, wherever you are.

Recommendations shift with your location, your travel history, and the questions you bring.

03

You discover what's actually yours.

Dining, culture, shopping — curated for you, not for "travelers like you."

The people behind Bonamii

Built by people who actually travel.

SC

Shawn Cuffie

Founder & CEO

Shawn has spent 30+ years building the kind of trust most companies chase for a fraction of that time. As Executive Creative Director of DLM Group of Companies and through Artxperiential Projects, he has produced major multicultural events and cultural programming — including the RBC Black Diamond Ball, one of the standout gatherings on the cultural calendar. That work built something rarer than a client list: real relationships across the communities Bonamii is built to serve. Bonamii is Shawn turning thirty years of "who do you know" into a platform that answers that question for everyone.

For vendors & partners

Bon Knows a Guy

You know that feeling when a friend says "you have to try this place" — and it's always right? That's how Bonamii finds vendors. Not ad spend. Not cold outreach. Relationships.

If you run a restaurant, shop, tour, or cultural experience worth talking about, we already want to know your name.

Zero-commission model

You keep what you earn.

Earned discovery, not paid placement

You show up because you belong, not because you paid to.

Built on trust, not traffic

Our network grows through real local connectors who already know who's great.
