YOLO Journal No.18 Spring 2025

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.

"Spring 2025 romances two main reasons to travel: the journey and the stay. In this issue, our contributors voyage by boat down the Peruvian Amazon; drive though the lush tea farms and lagoons of Kerala, India; journey on a classic rail route from Pretoria to Cape Town; and traverse the lunar landscapes of the Uyuni Salt Flats to the Atacama Desert by 4×4. Then there are trips conceived around fantastically unique hotels: the stately pleasure palaces of Raffles Udaipur & Jaipur; Dar Ahlam, a palm oasis in the Moroccan desert; Desa Potato Head in Bali, both sustainable and design-led; and the charmingly cheerful Casa Lawa in Sicily. Plus, love letters to places that unexpectedly stole our hearts: Genoa, Tofino, and Angkor Wat."
