YOLO Journal No. 17 Fall 2024

YOLO Journal is a visually seductive print publication devoted to the love of travel. Headed up by former Creative Director of Condé Nast Traveller, Yolanda Edwards, each release of the magazine embarks on a perfectly dreamy journey of destination deep dives and more general thematic explorations. With three issues a year, YOLO is an inspirational guide to the road less travelled.

"Our Fall 2024 issue considers the duality of travel as a source of challenge and comfort. There’s the challenge of distance—a castaway island in Indonesia reachable only by seaplane—and of the nerves: a whitewater ride through the Grand Canyon, Siena’s heart-stopping Palio race. Challenges can be transformative, as in sailing Italy’s Pontine islands on an all-women’s culinary retreat, or a deep-dive into the traditional textile culture of rural Vietnam. But the comfort of the calm and familiar always calls: a crisp fall day in Stockholm with the air scented of cardamom buns, a serene monastery-hotel in Nice, a beloved rental home in Maine."
