Meet Martha
Luxury Travel Advisor & Founder of The Suite Stories
Some of my favorite memories were made far from home — watching my kids discover new places, wandering through cities I’d only dreamed of, and feeling that spark of wonder you can’t recreate anywhere else. Planning those moments for the people I love is what inspired me to create The Suite Stories, a luxury travel advising practice built for travelers who want more than a basic getaway.
Based in Kansas City, I now help families, couples, and curious explorers experience the world with ease, intention, and elevated service. I specialize in luxury resorts, ocean and river cruises, Mexico escapes, European city breaks, honeymoons, and multigenerational travel — the kinds of trips where the details matter and the memories last.
My Approach to Travel Planning
I believe luxury travel isn’t defined by price — it’s defined by how you feel on your journey. My role is to understand what matters most to you and translate that into a beautifully crafted itinerary that reflects your style, pace, and priorities.
When you work with me, you can expect:
Personalized recommendations tailored to your travel style
VIP hotel perks like upgrades, breakfast, and resort credits
Insider access to trusted partners, guides, and experiences
Concierge‑level coordination from start to finish
Stress‑free planning so you can simply enjoy the journey
Whether you’re dreaming of a sun‑soaked beach escape, a romantic European adventure, a milestone celebration, or a once‑in‑a‑lifetime cruise, I’m here to make it effortless and unforgettable.
Why I Started The Suite Stories
After years of planning trips for my own family and friends, I realized how much joy I found in designing journeys that felt thoughtful, seamless, and deeply personal. Too often, travelers spend hours researching only to end up with generic options and uncertainty. I wanted to create a service that brings back the joy of anticipation, the confidence of expert guidance, and the magic of discovering places that truly resonate.
The Suite Stories is built on the belief that every trip tells a story. My job is to help you write yours — with intention, care, and a touch of luxury.
