Meet Your Luxury Travel Advisor

I’m Martha, a luxury travel advisor based in Kansas City, specializing in custom travel planning for families, couples, and travelers who want elevated, stress‑free vacations. After years of designing trips for my own family and friends, I turned my passion for curated travel into The Suite Stories, a boutique travel advising practice focused on luxury resorts, ocean and river cruises, honeymoons, and multigenerational travel.

My goal is simple: to create personalized itineraries, secure exclusive hotel perks, and handle every detail so your vacation feels seamless from start to finish. Whether you’re dreaming of a Mexico beach escape, a European adventure, or a milestone trip designed with intention, I’m here to craft a journey that’s effortless, memorable, and tailored to you.

Welcome to The Suite Stories, a luxury travel advising practice crafted for travelers who want more than a basic getaway. I help clients elevate their resorts, cruises, honeymoons, and milestone trips with VIP perks, concierge coordination, and insider access you simply can’t unlock on your own.

Based in Kansas City, I specialize in ocean and river cruises, Mexico escapes, family and multigen travel, and honeymoon planning across the US, Caribbean, Europe, and beyond. Whether you want a seamless all-inclusive stay, a brand-new luxury cruise experience, or a milestone trip designed down to the tiny details, you’ll have a dedicated advisor shaping it all for you.
