YOLO Journal Issue No. 15

Our favorite independent travel quarterly is named after founder Yolanda Edwards, who's spent a career at the top of mastheads as a travel and lifestyle editor, most recently at Conde Nast Traveler. It's a collection of stories and pictures from well-traveled people, each with a great eye and interesting perspective. And don't toss it after a month like a normal magazine... this one's worthy enough to keep on the bookshelf. Collect them all. YOLO says it best: “Our Spring 2024 issue encompasses two drivers of travel: the search for the familiar and the foreign. Familiar in what’s revealed in return visits—a grandfather’s birthplace in Tyrol, the artisan culture of Santa Fe, the contrasts of Cape Town, the coziness of the Faroe Islands. There’s the familiarity of staying in an actual home: a masseria in Puglia or historic haciendas in Mérida. But we also fly way out to the Galapagos Islands, Namibia’s Skeleton Coast, and Lord Howe Island, Australia, whose primordial landscapes offer a thrilling sense of discovery.”
