Geraldine Hasting

Bonjour! I’m Geraldine, founder of Unforgettable World Travel.

For over 25 years, I’ve helped discerning travelers transform their dream vacations into seamless, sophisticated realities. My approach blends personalized service with insider access, backed by a global network of elite travel partners and my own lived experience exploring the world.

Born and raised in France, I’ve always believed that travel is less about ticking boxes and more about creating moments that linger—how a place feels, the people you meet, the little surprises you carry home with you. That belief is at the heart of Unforgettable World Travel: curated journeys that feel authentic, personal, and uniquely yours.

Why Work With Me?

I’m not just here to book your trip—I’m here to design an experience tailored entirely to you.

As a Virtuoso advisor and Preferred Partner with world-renowned brands like Four Seasons, Belmond, Rosewood, Ritz-Carlton, Relais & Châteaux, Hyatt Privé, and more, I unlock exclusive perks that elevate your stay:

• VIP upgrades
• Daily breakfast
• Resort and spa credits
• Early check-in and late check-out
• Special welcome amenities
• Priority waitlists and access to sold-out rooms

These aren’t available when you book online or directly—and they’re only the beginning.

What I Offer

Whether you’re planning:
– a romantic escape to a vineyard estate in Tuscany,
– a multi-generational family trip through Japan,
– a bucket-list safari in South Africa, or
– a solo wellness retreat in Costa Rica,

I help manage every detail—flights, transfers, tours, dining, guides, travel insurance, and special touches you haven’t even thought of yet.

Need restaurant reservations at the last minute? Celebrating a milestone birthday? Prefer a slower pace with behind-the-scenes access? I tailor everything to match your travel style and expectations.

Destinations I Know & Love

Some of the places I’ve traveled or booked extensively include:

• Italy (Rome, Venice, Florence, Amalfi Coast, Tuscany)
• France (Paris, Provence, Loire Valley, French Riviera)
• Iceland, Ireland, and Scotland
• Japan and Southeast Asia
• Hawaii, Mexico, and the Caribbean
• The Seychelles and Maldives
• Luxury River Cruises & Ocean Voyages (AmaWaterways, Silversea, Seabourn, Uniworld, Explora, and more)

How It Works

1. Introductory Call or Email
We’ll start with a complimentary consultation to get to know each other. I want to understand your vision, timeline, travel preferences, and the overall vibe you’re hoping for.

2. Custom Trip Design
Based on your needs, I’ll design a tailored itinerary that balances adventure, comfort, and unforgettable moments. I handle bookings and logistics from A to Z.

3. Travel Like a VIP
While you’re away, I’m here in the background—monitoring your trip and ready to step in if anything needs attention.

4. After You Return
I’ll follow up to hear about your experience, and we’ll already start dreaming about your next journey.

FAQ

Do you charge a planning fee?
Yes, I do charge a professional planning fee, which varies based on the complexity of your itinerary. This reflects the time, care, and expertise that goes into crafting something truly custom. I’ll always be transparent about fees up front.

Do I have to book hotels and flights through you?
No, but there are benefits to doing so! I can secure exclusive perks at many properties and offer airfare support for select routes.

What if I already started planning?
That’s okay! I can pick up where you left off and refine your plans—or suggest ways to enhance them.

Can you help with special occasions?
Absolutely. From honeymoons and anniversaries to surprise proposals and multigenerational celebrations, I love making big moments feel seamless and extra special.

Hours & Availability

I’m based in the U.S. West Coast (Pacific Time) and typically respond to inquiries Monday–Friday. I monitor active bookings daily and offer 24/7 support for clients while they’re traveling. You’re never just a number—I value relationships, not transactions.
