Meet Carrie Rester, Owner of Rest or Travel

Travel has always been more than a passion for me—it’s a way of life. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of exploring 38 countries (and counting!) and turning my love for travel into a career helping others see the world. For the past five years, I’ve been fortunate to work professionally in the travel industry, creating meaningful experiences for my clients through Rest or Travel.

I specialize in designing thoughtfully curated journeys that blend luxury, authenticity, and ease. From elegant European getaways to private yacht charters, family vacations, and group adventures, I take pride in crafting itineraries that reflect each traveler’s unique style. My clients appreciate that I focus on the details—the special touches that transform a good trip into an unforgettable one.

While luxury travel is my passion, I also believe that extraordinary experiences can be created at a variety of budget levels. My goal is always the same: to design a seamless, inspired journey that feels perfectly tailored to you.

Whether you dream of sipping wine along the rivers of France, exploring Italy’s hidden villages, or relaxing on the deck of a private yacht, I’m here to make it happen—with care, creativity, and a genuine love for helping others discover the world.

Let’s create a trip that’s perfectly yours—one that feels effortless, inspiring, and full of moments you’ll treasure long after you return home.
