40th Birthday Trip
Reviewed By Ace - Charlotte, NC | Traveled to Ocho Rios | Jamaica | Caribbean
Kareena helped me every step of the way with researching, planning, obtaining financing, and booking my dream birthday vacation! She is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to travel both locally and internationally. She was able to provide me with multiple travel destination options within my price range. She also helped me pivot seamlessly with my plans after an unexpected military operation near my initial destination choice. She is responsive and proactive vs reactive. She also works to anticipate her clients needs and assist with planning excursions based on clients personalities and preferences. My husband had and absolute blast celebrating my birthday with travel plans that couldn’t have been executed more efficiently!
Kareena Sweat responded
"Thank you so much for entrusting me your birthday vacation! I'm so glad that you and your husband had a great time celebrating you!"

Picturesque Island
Reviewed By Lady Bug will travel - Hempstead NY | Traveled to St Lucia | South Africa | Africa
The plane ride was good very little turbulence St Lucia is a beautiful Island surrounded by lots of mountains. We did do one excursion trip by boat to the waterfall and Sulphur springs. Our hotel room and view from our balcony was picturesque. The Hideaway grounds were immaculate, and housekeeping staff was very accommodating and friendly. We also made use of the hotel spa, where we had great message services. The outdoor pools and Jacuzzis were incredible.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

    Our Anniversary, Beautifully Handled
    Planning an anniversary trip is about more than booking flights and a hotel. It is about curating a memorable experience and lasting memories. Working with Kareena at Wanderlust Escapes made the process effortless from beginning to end. She thoughtfully planned our anniversary getaway to Sandals St. Vincent and the Grenadines and handled every detail with care, professionalism, and a personal touch. From helping us select the perfect destination and property to ensuring every aspect of our trip aligned with what we envisioned, she made us feel like more than clients. We felt genuinely cared for. The trip was beautiful, seamless, and exactly the kind of memorable experience we hoped for as we celebrated such a special occasion. If you are looking for someone who is knowledgeable, attentive, responsive, and truly passionate about creating unforgettable travel experiences, I highly recommend Wanderlust Escapes. We are already looking forward to planning our next adventure.

    Priceless Mother/Daughter Parisian Vacation
    "Let me tell y’all about this Diva! A few months ago during one of our monthly dinner dates that we’ve had for YEARS…I told her how my daughter (Soror) wanted to do something special but something that caters to me for my birthday because the pandemic robbed me of that luxury. Wanderlust Escapes took heed to my request and went above and beyond our expectations. The amount of time, care, forward thinking and professionalism that was put into our travels has far exceeded any vacation I’ve been on thus far. If you haven’t already…book with Kareena and her company TODAY. Thank you Soror/Diva…let’s get to planning my next adventure."

    Dubai Vacation Success
    "Trip was jammed back with all day activities. Next time I will go at a slower more casual pace. Overall great trip with a great travel consultant. She was thorough and we had our transportation arranged so we didn't have to worry about getting around. Will definitely be using Wanderlust Escapes again as my hubs and I travel quite a bit and we love going places that the average person doesn't think about. Again, great travel consultant that gave us what we asked for and more."
