'For over 10 years, I’ve shared my passion of cruising on my blog, YouTube channel and on TV interviews,' Lara said. 'As a Navy veteran, I’ve always loved being at sea. With over 100 sailings on Holland America Line and over 75 days sailing on Carnival, a cruise vacation is incredible.'
When COVID-19 brought the cruise industry to a standstill, Lara quickly pivoted to covering the all-inclusive resort industry, assessing properties in Jamaica, the Dominican Republic and Cancun.
