Denise Luedeke

A native of Drabenderhöhe, Germany, Denise has spent much of her life traveling the globe, gaining crucial travel experience in some of the most respected destinations in the world.

Experience through a six month collegiate residency in Nice, France has provided a refined appreciation of the beauty and romance in the French language, its people and its landscape.

Leading three separate 45 person + educational tours through Europe, she provided the travels of a lifetime working closely with local guides in the countries of Italy, Spain, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, and France.

Through experiences at magnet destinations such as The Great Wall of China, The Colosseum, Brandenburg Gate and Sagrada Familia to more intimate travel within Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Canada, St. Lucia, and Mexico, Denise has cultivated the world knowledge and experience that is essential to successful travel advising.

Denise’s travel planning experience is extensive and real. Her first job in the industry was as a cross-trained agent for a major airline, planning, booking (and re-booking!) hundreds of customers through good times and bad, coupled with the complete planning, booking and execution of each of the three separate European tours mentioned above, Denise has most likely “been there, done that” when it comes to planning and executing travel itineraries.

Her formal education includes a dual degree in International Affairs and French Language from Transylvania University in Lexington, Ky and a Master’s degree in Foreign and Secondary Language Education from The Ohio State University.

She continues to bring her excitement for global culture awareness and travel to her two children with bilingual (English/German) education and world adventure at every opportunity.

Honing a passion for caring, communication, and attention to detail, Denise takes great pride in exceptional travel experiences for her clients. She looks forward to each client’s next travel pursuit as her own.

Denise holds a Hawaii Destination Specialist Certification.
