My Story
A wanderlust traveler at heart, I find pure joy in curating unforgettable experiences for others. From exploring off-the-beaten-path destinations to discovering the most mouthwatering local cuisines, I'm endlessly fascinated by the cultures that make each place unique. As an Atlanta-based travel curator, I leverage my global explorations to design itineraries that allow my clients to feel, experience and enjoy destinations in ways they never imagined possible.
My Travel Style
I believe in mindful travel — seeking genuine connections rather than collecting destinations. While others rush to capture photos, I immerse myself in the present moment, letting my senses absorb the authentic rhythm of each place. My journey isn't measured by landmarks checked off a list, but by the deep understanding I gain of local cultures and communities. Every destination becomes more than a pin on a map — it becomes a chapter in my story of discovery, understanding and belonging.

Manna was a delight to work with for our trip to northern Italy and the Swiss Alps! She found us EXCELLENT hotels and booking was easy with her. She checked with the Fora group for suggestions on which areas to stay in, which was also very helpful. She checked prices on rental cars and gave suggestions on how to book train tickets. We also arrived to a bottle of champagne in one of our rooms to celebrate our anniversary, courtesy of Manna! Highly recommend working with her!

The recommendations she provided—from restaurants to experiences—were thoughtful, useful, and truly enhanced our journey. We felt cared for throughout the process and would happily work with her again for future travels.

Manna was amazing. She was super helpful and accommodating during the short timeframe of planning this trip. She went above and beyond in trying to find the perfect location for us. She handled every detail ensuring we would have an amazing time; a true white glove service. Looking forward to working with her again on our next trip.

I had such a wonderful experience with Manna Patel as my travel advisor! She is truly exceptional at what she does. Working with my $1,500 budget, she arranged a fantastic last-minute getaway to Riviera Maya. From booking me on Delta (those SkyMiles are a must!) to setting up smooth transportation to the Ocean Maya Royal Adults Only Resort, Manna handled every detail perfectly.
Her communication was absolutely seamless! She responded within hours and provided a travel itinerary I could easily access on my phone - exactly the level of organization I need as a busy professional.
The resort was absolutely perfect! Beautiful beach views, engaging events, and an ideal location. Check-in took less than 10 minutes because Manna had already taken care of all the paperwork. When I mentioned needing a break from my work projects, she even managed to secure a complimentary upgrade to an ocean-view suite!
Throughout my stay, she recommended activities and highlights I would have completely missed on my own. Manna's expertise, responsiveness, and attention to detail made my weekend escape exactly what I needed. If you're looking for someone to plan your next getaway, I highly recommend Manna!
