We had the good fortune of connecting with Desiree Warr and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Desiree, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
The most important factor behind my success is consistency and believing in myself. Success does not happen overnight, and there are many moments that I have struggled with self-doubt. Consistency leads to habits; habits form the actions that we take each day. Action leads to success. As John Maxwell said, “small disciplines repeated with consistency every day lead to great achievements gained slowly over time.”

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I am a Luxury Travel Designer and owner of Bluvari Travel, a full-service boutique travel consultancy that specializes in curating highly personalized luxury travel experiences around the globe. My partnerships and connections in the luxury travel space allow me to elevate travel experiences with exceptional service and exceed client expectations. From hotel bookings to full itinerary design; from a weekend getaway to a bucket list adventure, I help create dream vacations for clients.

Starting my own travel business was one of the scariest and most uncomfortable things I have done, but it has been so rewarding for me on so many levels. I am challenging myself each day and learning something new, and I love the feeling of self-accomplishment. For me, travel is a restorative and transformative experience. My goal is to help people explore this beautiful world and live their most fulfilled and inspired life.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
There is no shortage of outdoor activities and it is one of the best things our area has to offer. I always like to take friends to the national park to do a scenic hike or see the famous slot canyons. If it’s fall or winter, heading up to the mountains is a must to see the beautiful fall foliage or snow dusted pine trees.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I wouldn’t be where I am today without the support and encouragement from my friends and family. When I first started my business, I relied on referrals from friends and family. Those small wins helped me gain momentum and confidence. I have also learned a lot from my affiliate host agency and industry colleagues who have been such valuable mentors.
