Brand: Yolo

YOLO Journal is a visually immersive print magazine and weekly newsletter with a trusted perspective on travel. We gather and edit the very best from our well-travelled, discerning network and share their — and our — hard-won recommendations.

Yolo's 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.
