Bahar Schmidt, Founder and CEO of EXV Travel

"Luxury travel isn't just about destinations—it's about creating unforgettable experiences tailored to those who demand excellence."

The Journey to Excellence

From humble beginnings to transforming the luxury travel industry

The Beginning

Bahar's journey began modestly with an internship at a travel agency during school in Germany. What started as a part-time role ignited a lifelong passion for creating exceptional travel experiences.

VIP Travel Expertise

She quickly rose through the ranks, specializing in VIP travel and luxury cruises. Her attention to detail and commitment to excellence earned her recognition among discerning travelers who demanded the best.

Los Angeles Era

Moving to Los Angeles, Bahar managed corporate and entertainment-industry travel agencies, working with high-profile clients from music, athletics, and business sectors who required discretion and white-glove service.

The Innovation

Witnessing countless non-refundable travel packages go unused, Bahar recognized a critical inefficiency. She conceived a revolutionary solution: a resale marketplace for luxury travel experiences. This vision became Eluxit, later evolving into EXV Travel.

Today: EXV Travel

That same entrepreneurial spirit and insider knowledge continues to drive EXV Travel today. Bahar leads the company with unmatched expertise—from understanding complex booking systems to delivering white-glove concierge service that sets the gold standard in luxury travel.
