YOLO Journal Issue No. 17

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. This issue explores the duality of challenge and comfort in travel. A little challenge, courtesy of hard-to-reach islands in Indonesia, to whitewater rides through the Grand Canyon, or an all-women's culinary retreat in Italy's Pontine Islands. And then comfort: fall in the quiet streets of Stockholm, a beloved getaway in Maine, and a monastery-hotel in Nice.
