Welcome to Wanderlust Escapes Travel
I’m so glad you’ve arrived - and even more excited to help you design a journey that feels effortlessly extraordinary. Whether you’re envisioning a romantic destination wedding, a luxurious adults-only retreat, a celebration with your favorite people, or a much-needed pause from the pace of everyday life - your next chapter begins here.
At Wanderlust Escapes Travel, I specialize in curated, concierge-level planning that removes the stress and elevates the experience. This isn’t about simply booking a trip—it’s about crafting moments that are meaningful, seamless, and styled entirely around you.
Here’s What You Can Expect
Transparent, Value-Driven Pricing. Vacation pricing can fluctuate until your deposit is secured—but rest assured, I’ll always secure the best available rates. If a supplier offers price matching, I’ll handle it on your behalf. You’ll never have to worry about chasing value—that’s part of the service.
A Seamless Booking Experience. Once you’ve selected your ideal resort, cruise, or itinerary, I’ll deliver a beautifully tailored proposal with your curated options. Upon approval, a secure invoice will follow, and your reservation will be confirmed once payment is processed. Please note: pricing and availability remain subject to change until booking is finalized, and accommodations may vary slightly by layout or décor.
Complimentary Planning for Individual Getaways. When you book your personal vacation with Wanderlust Escapes Travel, my planning services are entirely complimentary. I’m compensated directly by the travel supplier after your trip. In return, I kindly ask that inquiries are made when you’re ready to move forward - so I can devote the full attention and care each journey deserves.
Personalized Planning Fees for Groups & Destination Weddings. For group getaways and weddings, a one-time non-refundable planning fee applies. This allows me to provide elevated support, expert coordination, and an intentionally guided experience from our first call to your final toast. If your group travels, the fee is applied to the lead guest’s reservation.
Concierge-Level Support, Every Step of the Way. From flights and private transfers to entry requirements and final travel documents, every detail is managed with care and clarity. My role is to simplify the process so you can arrive with confidence, relax completely, and savor every moment.

Each journey I plan is deeply personal - and so are the words my clients share after returning home. Here’s what a few of them had to say about their Wanderlust Escapes experience.
"This trip was planned at the last minute so I really appreciated her efforts in putting a package together that worked within our budget and interest. I’m not tech savvy and found her guidance and instructions easy to follow. I would definitely recommend and would use her again!" - Kim A.
"The Trip was FABULOUS! Women's Retreat as a Culmination for '2024 Women's Wellness Activities! It's the AGENT for ME!! Organized, Professional, Informative and Flexible! ... and of course, Jamaica Embraced Us All!" - Nyiema C.
"The BEST way to enter into my 30’s!
Big shoutout to Wanderlust Escapes Travel for helping me bring in 30 in Aruba. From beginning to end and everything in between, Kareena made sure I didn’t have to worry about anything but enjoying my birthday. Even when life started life’s, she had every detail of the trip together to help give me a peace of mind. While on the trip, she was just a text/facetime away to answer any questions and help clarify things. 10/10 Highly recommend! Thank you again!" - Jazmine W.
"My experience was absolutely phenomenal!!! We were able to relax and enjoy some much needed time on this beautiful resort. Kareena made sure we had everything we needed! She was also able to complete everything I needed while maintaining the element of surprise for my boyfriend (it was his surprise birthday trip). I am extremely appreciative of her attention to detail, fast responses, and creative ideas/additions. I will be booking through Kareena at Wanderlust Escapes again!!!" - Paige C.
Kareena was amazing. My friends and I were discussing a few places that we wanted to go but did not know where to start. Kareena asked us what vibe we were going for, and we gave her some nonnegotiable things for the resort. We wanted an all inclusive, adults only resort. We shared our budget and came through. Within 24 hours, she provided us with a few options, and we immediately booked. She handled insurance, flights, and excursions. She also had an app that had all of our trip information and uploaded all documents that we needed for the trip. everything was smooth and organized for us. Kareena was even available during the trip to handle anything that we needed. We are already discussing our next trip. - Najah S.
"Kareena is fantastic! She is warm and authentically invested in the entire process. I am a novice traveler so I appreciate all of her patience and willingness to help me understand the beautiful travel experience. She answers all of my questions and works to get me the best deal according to my budget. My husband and I just returned for our first cruise and because of Kareena it was the best experience EVER! " - Mary W.
"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 Travels 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." - Renee H.
"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 bday 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." - Kim A.
