Yep, if reading these pages (and looking at these beautiful pics) stirs up feelings of wanderlust and ‘must-escape-ness’, we’ve got you covered with a travel directory that’s decidedly different.

It’s called Slow Stays, and it’s the official edit of the world’s best slow and sustainable accommodation.

About The Authors

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. While once she would have easily flitted across the globe several times in a month, these days she favours a much slower pace of exploration (having two kids under three will do that to you, too).

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. When she doesn’t have a camera in hand, she’ll likely be with her husband, dreaming up the next adventure in their vintage caravan.

Assistant author Katie Gannon started out as an eco indie fashion designer before making the leap to web and graphic design. As well as assisting tourism companies and NGOs with their design needs she owns and operates her own Slow Stay and understands intimately how important sustainability in travel really is.
