Paula Alves co-founder of TravelTailors, was born in Ponte da Barca, on December 31, 1975 - just in time to toast to the new year. At the age of 2, she moved to the United States, where she traveled whenever possible with her parents and friends. She returned to Portugal, at 18, and graduated in Economics at the University of Coimbra, taking advantage of the study breaks to spend beautiful weekends in our wonderful country.

Lisete Cardoso co-founder of TravelTailors, is from Lisbon, from the 1975 harvest. Although she loved the fantastic student experience in the city of Coimbra, she did not want to miss the opportunity to study for a year in Scotland. She graduated in Economics and returned to Lisbon, to work as a multinational financial auditor, having become a Certified Public Accountant in 2005.
During 11 years of hard work, travel was the perfect escape ... the cherry she longed for! The world map on the wall of the office was spotted with dots that marked the places she visited on her travels, and half the pleasure was in planning. It was in 2009, while climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, that she decided that the right time had come to change the executive suits and the financial world for the opportunity to provide happy moments and unique life experiences through travel planning.
She is currently Financial Director and responsible for the outgoing market at TravelTailors. Her favorite destinations are Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand, and Peru. She is an expert in challenges involving complex logistics and undecipherable locations.
