About Martha's
Travel Corner
Sojourning as a travel family since 2010
"Nothing is a bother when you're traveling with kindred spirits."
Meet Martha
Hello, mates! I'm Martha, and I believe travel is one of life's greatest blessings. Since 2010, I've been creating journeys that go beyond sightseeing—they're about sojourning together, building a travel family, and letting your light shine in new places.
My approach is simple: small groups (12-16 kindred spirits), slow travel (staying 3-4 nights per location), and the personal touch that comes from this being mypassion. I'm with you every step of the journey, from the moment you inquire until long after you've returned home with memories that last a lifetime.
When I'm not planning the next adventure, you'll find me with my family, enjoying good music (I have a background in music ministry), or dreaming of the next destination where we can walk in faith, fellowship, and wonder together.
Based in Oswego, Illinois
Operating personalized small-group tours with heart since 2010
The Above and Beyond Philosophy
Nothing is a Bother
From your first inquiry to your last day on tour, I'm here for you. Questions at midnight? Dietary concerns? Special requests? That's what I'm here for. This isn't just business—it's my calling.
Sojourning as a Family
By day two, we're not strangers anymore. Our small groups (12-16 people) create genuine connections. You'll make friends who become travel companions for years to come.
Slow Travel, Deep Experiences
We stay 3-4 nights per location, giving you time to truly experience each place. No marathon bus tours. No rushing. Just the luxury of time to wander, rest, and absorb the magic.
