We had the good fortune of connecting with Clara Nagar and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Clara, we’d love to hear what makes you happy.
Creating custom celebration cakes for that special day and helping my customers make their vacation visions, become a reality. I am truly fortuned to have the best of both world, with my two businesses, a travel business and a cake business.
What should our readers know about your business?
My travel business was founded in the very beginning of the Covid, after losing my position of 22 years, as an operations manager for a travel company.
For a full year I continued assisting my long time customers with getting their refunds on their cancelled trips, changing their trip dates, and making sure they were not left stranded in the middle of the covid chaos which interrupted the travel industry so dramatically. For an entire year I worked for free, to ensure my customers were taken care of.
While we waited for the world to open back up for travel, my hobby as a cake artist became my main business. Baking and designing cakes, was so therapeutic for me. Doing something I love, and seeing the smiles on my clients faces, when I delivered their cakes, it was immediate gratification.
I could not be more grateful for my amazing customers who supported my small business.
In March of this year, I celebrated 3 years of opening Claritas Travel. I’ve earned the Top 50 Company Award, from Outside Agents, and for the 3 years in business I have been part of the Top 2% producer, out of 6000 OA, independent contractors.
I have learned that when God closes a door, its because he has bigger and better doors for you to open. Everything happens for a reason, and I could not be more grateful and prouder of where I am today.
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.
My favorite place to visit in Arizona, when I can get away, is Sedona. Sedona is a beautiful place, full of Vortex and a great place for spiritual healing, relaxing and just enjoying nature.
Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would love to thank my 3 daughters and my husband for encouraging and supporting me through my journey. They have been my rock through the entire process and continue to be my biggest fans. I love them with all my heart.
