I am Therese Markham, owner of Epic Travel Awaits, LLC.

Travel and photography are my true passions! They both create memories and tell stories to last a lifetime. My background is in education, as a teacher in both CA and TX in various positions. As someone who was looking for a career change, I decided to follow my passions and pursue what I know and love, TRAVEL!

Epic Travel Awaits is a boutique travel agency that has strong connections with a large variety of supplier partners in the industry. I can help you curate any travel experience from ocean or river cruises, Caribbean all-inclusives, special interest travel, Europe custom or tour groups, group travel, or personally curated luxury vacations. If you can dream it, I can help you plan it!

I am a mom to 6 high school/college age children. In our free time we love to, you guessed it, travel! I have personally traveled to over 25 US states, including Hawaii, and 20+ countries outside the US: Canada, Central America, various Caribbean islands, all of Western Europe, and Ireland! And I still have so many more destinations on the bucket list!

With an abundance of internet information, I can help you narrow down your choices, take the hassle out of research and planning, and have the ability to add those special touches and unique experiences to make your travels stress free and memorable. I love to not only travel, but enjoy researching and planning trips that will be unique and epic. I would love to work with you to plan and book your next adventure!

So where will your next adventure take you?  A simple relaxing vacation or a larger bucket list destination??? Enjoying the beautiful Caribbean waters at an all-inclusive sipping on umbrella drinks with your loved one and family?  Visiting the German Christmas markets or Tulip Gardens on a European river cruise? Immersing yourself in the culturally rich cities of Kyoto or Tokyo, Japan? Exploring the beaches, arenal volcano, and variety of animals in Costa Rica?  Exploring the Italian Tuscan countryside and charming towns of Rome, Cinque Terre, Florence, San Gimignano, or even Puglia?  Enjoying the dramatic coastline of Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast?  Or watching the sunset from the Greek hilltops of Santorini? 

Rather than investing in things that we tire of over time, I believe in investing in travel and experiences...they are far more meaningful, relationship building, and create memories to last a lifetime!

Here’s to your next epic adventure!
