About the owner of AAV Travel and founder of AAV Explorations
Welcome to the AAV Travel Blog! My name is Stefanie Pichonnat-Christen, and I am the proud owner of AAV Travel, a boutique travel design agency based in Terre Haute, Indiana. Over the past two decades, this charming Midwestern town has become my home, offering the perfect base to pursue my passion for crafting extraordinary travel experiences.
Originally from Switzerland, my love for travel began at an early age. By 13, I was already planning my family’s trips—writing faxes, sending deposits, and confirming reservations in an era long before online booking. By 16, I knew I wanted a career that would allow me to explore the world while sharing its wonders with others. This dream led me to study International Hospitality Management at the renowned École Hôtelière de Lausanne, one of the most prestigious hotel schools in the world.
My global journey has taken me to live in Paris, New York, Zurich, and Edinburgh, enriching my perspective and deepening my appreciation for unique cultural experiences. Today, I specialize in curating bespoke luxury travel itineraries for my clients, blending my extensive industry knowledge with an unwavering commitment to excellence. My hospitality background and strong network of world-class hoteliers enable me to deliver seamless, personalized vacations tailored to each client’s vision.
At AAV Travel, I believe every journey should be as unique as the traveler. Whether it’s a serene island escape, an adventurous expedition, or an indulgent city retreat, my goal is to elevate your travel experience with thoughtful touches and meticulous planning. Traveling frequently myself allows me to stay inspired, discover hidden gems, and bring first-hand expertise to my clients.
Thank you for visiting the AAV Travel Blog. I’m thrilled to share my travel insights, tips, and stories with you. Don’t forget to comment, share, and join our growing community of travel enthusiasts. Let’s inspire your next unforgettable journey!
