As a journalist and media professional with two decades of experience, Celeste Mitchell is adept at penning prose that will leave you daydreaming, laughing, and clicking on the 'book now' button.

While she's crisscrossed the globe writing for Escape, Australian Traveller, Explore, Travel + Luxury (The Australian), Broadsheet, Qantas, and more, she favours slow and sustainable travel.

In 2018, along with two business partners, Celeste launched slow travel and living platform Life Unhurried and in 2020 added the curated accommodation directory, Slow Stays – the official edit of the world's best slow and sustainable accommodation. Their hardcover coffee table book, Life Unhurried, was published by Hardie Grant in September 2022.

Next up: Her second book, Ultimate Beaches Australia, will hit bookstores 3 June 2025.
