our mission

Our mission began with a simple idea: luxury travel should be transformative. It’s not just about arriving at a destination, it’s about the memories you create, the people you meet, and the experiences that change you along the way. We wanted to create a space where each journey is more than just a trip, it’s a personal adventure that reflects your essence, your dreams, and your vision of the world.

Every experience we curate is designed with you in mind, ensuring that it’s meaningful, memorable, and transformative. This is not just travel; it’s a journey into the heart of who you are, a chance to explore the world on your own terms.

With over two decades of leadership across luxury travel, shipping, government, banking, and food tech, she’s built a career, and now a company, on turning bold ideas into beautiful realities. She’s explored more than 40 countries, forging connections from embassy ballrooms to barefoot beach weddings.

Whether you're planning a destination wedding, launching a strategic partnership, or simply exploring the world, Roula is already two steps ahead (in heels, of course).

Karen Bradbury | Director of Strategic Partnerships

Karen is the woman who turns potential into partnership and vision into velocity. With over two decades of experience in the airline and travel industry, she brings both gravitas and grace to every collaboration. From global jet setters to tech-forward innovators, Karen has worked with industry leaders across software delivery, customer success, and strategic project management, always with an eye for excellence.

Her love for travel started early, exploring the world with her family and developing a deep appreciation for luxury, culture, and connection. Today, that same spirit fuels her work at mannehfest, where she is the architect behind some of our most impactful alliances. Karen is known for her precision, poise, and people-first approach. She doesn’t just build partnerships, she builds trust. With her at the helm, our network continues to grow smarter, stronger, and more inspired by the day. And if there’s one thing she loves almost as much as a first-class upgrade, it’s collecting passport stamps and partnerships with equal enthusiasm, both built to last, and always carried out with grace.

Patrick Zeller | Director of Sports Travel

Patrick brings the same determination and passion to mannehfest that he once brought to the football field. A former slot receiver for the TCU Football team, he’s built a reputation for leadership and team-building, thriving in high-performance environments where balancing intense training with academics was a daily challenge.

Patrick learned early that success in sports isn’t just about talent, it’s about strategy, focus, and collaboration. And those are the exact values he now applies at mannehfest, helping to shape partnerships that move the needle. As an avid golfer and sports enthusiast, Patrick knows the ins and outs of the sports industry and the nuances of sports travel. He’s not just about building partnerships; he’s about building lasting relationships that create growth opportunities and ensure every collaboration has legs for the long run.

With a focus on connection and trust, Patrick’s approach is all about making meaningful connections that drive success, and maybe even squeezing in a round of golf along the way. Just don’t bet against him on the back nine, he plays to win.
