A Life Built Around Travel
Travel House Atelier was born from a life shaped by movement, curiosity, and a deep love of discovering the world. What began as helping friends and family plan meaningful trips gradually evolved into a bespoke travel planning studio designing highly personalized luxury itineraries across Europe and beyond.
Founder Patricia Caruso and co-founder Patrick Tiago are not only business partners — they are a married couple who have built their lives across countries, cultures, and shared experiences. Having lived in both North America and Europe, travel has never been simply about visiting places, but about understanding how they feel, how people live, and what creates truly memorable moments.
The name Travel House Atelier reflects this philosophy. Every trip is created with intention, refinement, and individuality. Nothing is templated. Every itinerary is thoughtfully shaped around the client — their pace, their interests, and the experiences they will carry with them long after they return home.
Meet the Founder: Patricia Caruso
Patricia is a lifelong traveler whose curiosity for new cultures, landscapes, and experiences has shaped both her personal life and professional path. After more than 15 years in corporate leadership roles focused on strategy and team development in North America, she made the transformative decision to relocate to Europe and build a business centered on her greatest passion: designing exceptional travel experiences.
Known for her honesty, warmth, responsiveness and meticulous attention to detail, she has built a loyal client community that returns trip after trip — not only for expertise, but for the reassurance of working with someone who is genuinely invested in the success of their trip.
Fluent in five languages and naturally curious about cultures and destinations, Patricia approaches travel planning with a global mindset and a deep appreciation for nuance. Her recommendations are shaped by first-hand exploration, trusted hotel and destination partnerships, and a strong understanding of what makes travel feel effortless yet meaningful.
Through continuous first-hand travel and ongoing destination research, Patricia creates custom itineraries that balance iconic highlights with authentic discovery — ensuring each experience feels effortless, meaningful, and entirely personalized.
