With a combined passion for slow living, three friends Celeste Mitchell, Krista Eppelstun and Katie Gannon launched accommodation and lifestyle site lifeunhurried.com from their home-base on the Sunshine Coast in 2018, to inspire others to think about life and travel in a more sustainable way. Travel journalist Celeste Mitchell has managed to fuse her love of travel and telling stories for 20 years, and is regularly published in Escape, Australian Traveller and Qantas magazine, among others. Krista Eppelstun is an in-demand travel photographer and videographer, usually on the road creating content for the likes of Tourism Australia, Tourism and Events Queensland, and Brisbane Airport. The majority of the photography in Life Unhurried is her work, complemented by some of Australia's top interior photographers. Assistant author Katie Gannon has worked in web and graphic design for corporate, tourism and government sustainability projects for over 20 years, also running an eco indie fashion label earlier in her career.
