Afar partnered with Chase and Marriott Bonvoy to bring Travel Tales to life as a multi-city storytelling series hosted at Marriott properties in San Francisco, New York, and Washington, DC. The program invited audiences into a one-night-only evening centered on first-person travel narratives from travelers, creatives, and cultural voices whose journeys reflected transformation and discovery. Blending live storytelling with curated hospitality, signature cocktails, and sensory design, each event created a setting for connection and inspiration. Hosted within Marriott’s portfolio of properties, the series reinforced the shared values of exploration, curiosity, and travel, while offering guests a powerful, emotionally resonant way to engage with both brands through story.
