The Travel Deliciously Experience
Explore With Us: Team Delicious
Theresa Nemetz
Founder & Chief Experience Officer
Nearly two decades ago, I started offering culinary tours in Milwaukee, WI, to celebrate and share the rich stories of the city’s diverse communities, including its German, Italian, Polish, Irish, and other cultural groups. Our tours quickly captured the hearts of many, prompting us to expand first to Chicago, then across the Great Lakes region. Our fans often asked, “Can we travel with you further?” This enthusiasm led to the birth of Travel Deliciously.
Our initial international ventures took us to exciting destinations like Poland and Cuba, while domestically we explored places like Kentucky’s Bourbon Trail and Indiana’s Amish Country. As our offerings expanded, so did our clientele. We now cater not only to individual explorers but also to corporate groups, incentive trips, and family reunions.
At the heart of every itinerary is our love for culinary experiences. We’re committed to crafting journeys that not only showcase iconic sights but also immerse you in local cultures through their cuisines. Whether it’s cooking classes, fishing with locals, or touring with regional chefs, our aim is to provide intimate, small-group experiences that delight the senses.
Outside of work, I love showing my kids the world. We enjoy road trips across the US in our Mini Cooper, exploring the culinary delights of NYC, and relaxing on beach vacations in Puerto Rico. Join us at Travel Deliciously for unforgettable adventures that satisfy the soul and the palate!
Hannah Gleeson
Director of Operations
From my very first international journey at just four months old, travel has been a constant thread in my life’s tapestry. Growing up, I was not just a traveler but also a planner, often helping my father organize group travel adventures to Ireland. This early exposure to the complexities and joys of travel ignited my passion for exploring new cultures and cuisines, further solidified by earning a bachelor’s degree in International Studies.
As the Director of Operations at Travel Deliciously, I bring this lifelong passion, educational background, and a keen eye for detail to every aspect of our operations. My personal travel experiences, from the bustling markets of India to the historic streets of Cuba, the vibrant landscapes of South Korea, and Italy’s culinary richness, deeply influence our tour offerings. These journeys have not only shaped my worldview but also my commitment to creating travel experiences that offer more than just a glimpse into a region’s culture—they’re a deep dive into its lifeblood.
Outside of work, I continue to feed my appetite for travel, always looking for the next adventure that might inspire our next culinary tour or enhance our existing ones. I am also passionate about passing down this love and passion for travel to my two little girls. Join us at Travel Deliciously, where your next great journey awaits.
