MMarkham Travel was founded by a practicing oncologist. Time, pace, and meaning are not abstractions here — they shape every itinerary we design, from a short restorative getaway to a multi-country journey planned a year in advance. The pages that follow describe how each kind of trip is scoped and what each engagement includes. Starting points are named below; the rest is considered together, after we understand how you actually travel.
