And guess what? You don’t have to give up anything to travel more sustainably. In fact, the most amazing experiences happen when we slow down and do things differently. 💫

I’m talking about those off-the-beaten-path spots where the views take your breath away, that little family-run restaurant where the owner chats with you like an old friend, and boutique hotels where the owner greets you at the door with a genuine smile.

That’s the good stuff.

That’s what makes travel magic.

Here’s how to make your 2025 adventures sustainable:
🌿 Stay in eco-certified accommodations.
🍴 Support local restaurants and shops.
✈️ Offset your carbon emissions when flying.
🎒 Pack light and eco-friendly essentials.

Because let’s be real — when we travel with heart and intention, it just hits different. 💫

Sustainability isn’t about less; it’s about making every moment count.

Let’s explore in style and with purpose. Who’s in?

Ready to plan an unforgettable eco-luxury journey?

Let’s create something beautiful. 💌

It’s always really nice to receive recognition from your industry peers! 🎉

If you follow along on my Stories, you might have already seen, but at this year’s Retreat I was awarded with the title of ‘Industry Champion’, and it had me incredibly grateful and beyond speechless!

This industry has given me so much—lifelong friendships, unforgettable experiences, and the chance to do what I love every single day.

A huge thank you to Kristin, the incredible founder of Travellustre, who has been such an inspiration and mentor to me. Her vision and passion for this industry are truly unmatched, and I feel so lucky to be part of this amazing community she’s built.

Travel isn’t just a job for me—it’s a way of life. It’s a passion and a love deep within my bones.

It’s about connection, discovery, and those little moments that stay with you forever. I’m beyond grateful to be surrounded by people who feel the same way.

Here’s to continuing to share the magic of travel with the world! 💫

xoxo Nicole

This is a career highlight, for sure!! 🥰 Casey & Aaron originally dreamed of a Scotland elopement but with less cold vibes—enter the Dolomites, Italy. 🏔️

Think soaring peaks, golden alpine meadows, and all the dramatic landscapes you could ever want… without freezing your champagne flutes off.

Their intimate ceremony was pure magic—luxurious yet effortlessly natural, with bespoke details that made the day completely their own. Safe to say - I’m obsessed.

Want the full story (and all the jaw-dropping photos)? We’re spilling the details over on the blog—and how we created a day that’s straight-up dream material. 💌

Don’t let your next trip become just another blur. Don’t rush through everything without truly feeling the magic of where you are. ✨

Ever come back from a trip feeling like you need… another vacation? 😅

That’s what happens when travel turns into a checklist—rushing from one sight to the next without truly being there.

Let’s flip the script. 💫

It’s about sipping wine during a long, lazy lunch in a sun-dappled vineyard 🍷, swapping stories with the owner as time melts away.

It’s rolling out fresh pasta with a local Nonna, her laughter filling the kitchen as she shares family recipes passed down for generations. 🍝👵

It’s wandering cobblestone streets with no agenda, stopping to admire a quiet piazza or savoring the perfect espresso at a tiny café ☕.

These are the moments when you truly feel the heartbeat of a destination—when you’re not just visiting, but living it.

Forget the endless to-do lists and whirlwind schedules.

Let’s craft a trip where you immerse yourself, embrace the culture, and come home with memories that feel like treasures, not tasks.

STOP doing this immediately….

Stop trying to do ALL of Italy in ONE trip! 🇮🇹

It just won’t work.

Let’s be real: trying to fit Venice, Florence, Rome, the Amalfi Coast...AND Sicily into one trip is a recipe for burnout.

Trust me—you’re not “doing Italy,” you’re rushing it.

And Italy isn’t a country to rush; it’s a country to savor.

Here’s the deal:
🌟 You’ll Burn Out. Logistics overload. Trains, planes, cars… no grazie.
🌟 You’ll Miss the Magic. Italy’s charm is in its details: that tucked-away trattoria, the cobblestone street you stumble upon, the moments you’ll remember forever.
🌟 Less is More. Pick 1–2 regions and really immerse yourself. Sip wine in Tuscany. Explore the Amalfi Coast. Wander Venice’s canals.
🌟 You Deserve Better. Travel isn’t about ticking off landmarks—it’s about the memories you create.

Let’s ditch the checklist and plan a trip that’s intentional, meaningful, and totally you.

🚨 Important Update for U.S. Travelers to the UK! 🇬🇧✈️

Starting January 8, 2025, U.S. citizens traveling to the United Kingdom for short visits, tourism, or business, including those just passing through UK airports, will need an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA).

👉 What is the ETA?
Think of it as a quick pre-travel check. It’s not a visa but a new requirement to ensure smooth entry into the U.K.

🌟 Who Needs It?
If you’re visiting for tourism, business, family, or even a short-term study, you’ll need an ETA. (Exceptions apply for UK visa holders or British/Irish citizens.)

🌟 How Do You Apply?
As of November, 2024, you can apply online or via the UK ETA app. It’s super straightforward:

Enter your passport details.

Upload a photo.

Pay a £10 fee (~$12.50).

Decisions usually take just three working days!

🌟 How Long Is It Valid?
Your ETA is valid for two years or until your passport expires, allowing multiple visits of up to six months.

🌟 Why This Matters:
Without an ETA, you won’t be allowed into the UK. Don’t leave this to the last minute—let’s make sure your trip goes off without a hitch!

This is a quick reminder that changes like these are why working with a travel advisor can be a lifesaver. We stay on top of all the logistics so you don’t have to.

Planning your dream trip to London, Edinburgh, or the stunning English countryside? Let’s make it seamless and unforgettable.

A New Yorker in Paris… ...and London, and Rome, and Barcelona.

Hello! Bonjour! Ciao! Hola!

My name is Nicole Bono, I am a seasoned luxury event planner, founder of Bono Events International, and currently based in Paris, France.

Originally from New York City, and raised in a multilingual home, travel is in my DNA.

After graduating from Berkee College of Music, I started my professional career in the fast-paced Manhattan music industry, working with a rolodex of celebrity clientele. Soon after, I moved to Europe, fell into the world of international event planning, and haven’t looked back.
