Founder of Wanderlust Escapes

Curated destination celebrations. Luxury travel experiences. Meaningful journeys designed with intention.

I'm Kareena L. Sweat, Certified Cruise Counselor, Destination Wedding Specialist, and Founder of Wanderlust Escapes.

I help couples, celebration travelers, and discerning explorers experience travel differently - with clarity, ease, and thoughtful guidance every step of the way.

Through Wanderlust Escapes and The Vow Collective, I specialize in destination weddings, honeymoons, vow renewals, luxury group travel, hosted experiences, and curated international journeys designed to bring people together around life's most meaningful moments.

While many people begin by searching for a destination, my clients are often searching for something deeper: connection, celebration, renewal, legacy, or simply the opportunity to create memories with the people who matter most.

My role is to transform those moments into thoughtfully designed travel experiences that feel seamless, elevated, and unforgettable.

A Calling Rooted in Purpose

Wanderlust Escapes was born from a simple prayer:

"God, let my gift make room for me."

That prayer became the foundation of a business built on faith, integrity, service, and intentionality.

What began as a love of travel evolved into a calling to create experiences that bring people together through celebration, connection, and shared experiences.

Today, that calling lives at the intersection of hospitality, logistics, and meaningful moments — where thoughtful planning creates space for people to fully enjoy the experiences that matter most.

What I Do

I specialize in designing travel experiences centered around celebration, connection, and ease.

Through The Vow Collective by Wanderlust Escapes, I support:

• Destination weddings
• Vow renewals
• Elopements and intimate celebrations
• Honeymoons
• Babymoons
• Anniversary escapes
• Milestone celebrations
• Legacy and heritage journeys

As your destination wedding travel specialist and guest travel coordinator, I work alongside resort and cruise line teams to simplify the planning process and manage the details that often overwhelm couples and their guests.

From accommodations and room blocks to guest reservations, payment coordination, travel logistics, and supplier communication, I provide the expertise and support needed to help your celebration unfold beautifully.

Curated Experiences & Hosted Journeys

Beyond destination celebrations, I curate a select collection of luxury travel experiences and hosted journeys each year.

These experiences are intentionally designed for travelers who value connection, thoughtful planning, and elevated service.

From couples escapes and celebration travel to immersive cultural journeys and luxury group experiences, each itinerary is carefully crafted to create meaningful moments and lasting memories.

Every Wanderlust Escapes experience is guided by the same philosophy:

Luxury should feel personal.

Service should feel effortless.

Travel should create memories that endure long after the journey ends.

Many clients come to me feeling overwhelmed by options, logistics, timelines, and conflicting information.

• Honest communication and thoughtful boundaries
• Expert destination and resort recommendations

Whether planning a destination wedding, honeymoon, milestone birthday, luxury resort escape, or curated group experience, my goal remains the same:

To create an experience that feels effortless, intentional, and uniquely yours.

A Personal Note

Some of my most cherished memories have been created through travel.

Decades of mother-daughter adventures.

Journeys shared with lifelong friends.

Solo escapes that created space for reflection and renewal.

Experiences that deepened relationships, strengthened connections, and became part of my story.

Those experiences shape how I serve my clients today.

They remind me that travel is rarely just about where we go.

It's about who we become, who we celebrate, and who we share those moments with along the way.

Who I Work Best With

My clients are often celebrating something meaningful:

A destination wedding.

A honeymoon.

A milestone birthday.

A vow renewal.

An anniversary.

A long-awaited journey with family or friends.

They value:

• Thoughtful planning
• Trusted guidance
• White-glove service
• Clear communication
• Elevated experiences
• Meaningful travel

They understand that the best journeys aren't measured simply by where you go, but by how the experience makes you feel.

If that sounds like you, you're exactly who I love serving.

Every celebration begins with trust.

Every journey deserves intention.
