Hello, I’m Carrie A. Mitchell
Founder at CMMedia, Co-Founder at Age Box Ventures, Creator & Host of Luxe Carrie-On Travel
Welcome! I am an American-Canadian entrepreneur, multimedia storyteller, and award-winning content and communications leader. With years of experience in developing brands and creative stories, I founded CMMedia to create and consult with media, travel and lifestyle brands after leading divisions of some of the largest global companies, from Condé Nast to Four Seasons, where I was the former head of communications at Beverly Wilshire in Beverly Hills and the UK Collection in London.
My lifelong love of exploring travel and culture has led me to write, create content, host video and podcasts, run blogs and newsletters over the years as well, and it felt like the right time to refresh my stories and guides under Luxe Carrie-On Travel. Here you will find stories, guides, stays, shop, youtube, and my new Pop Passport Podcast (you can check out my old one, Travel Oracles too). My writing and content has appeared in Condé Nast Traveler, Travel + Leisure, Vogue, The New Yorker, CNN, BBC, Skift, Forbes, and more. I wrote a children’s travel book dedicated to my niece & nephew titled “To Be We: The Adventures of Owen and Lucy”, and anticipate my debut novel to publish in 2025.
From my first internship at Seventeen Magazine, to the many collaborations over the years, media and content creation have always been a significant part of my career, as have my many entrepreneurial pursuits. I bridge business and audiences in the United States, Canada, and Europe, having traveled to over 50+ countries, and spent chapters in New York City, Los Angeles, Palm Springs, Vancouver, and London.

II. As a communications and content expert at my company CMMedia and advisor specializing in travel brands. As an award-winning leader with extensive global experience, I have worked across industries in media, entertainment, luxury travel, hospitality, lifestyle, and consumer goods in American, Canadian, and European markets.
