YOLO Journal No.22 Summer 2026

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.

"Summer 2026 is our first-ever Coastal Issue. We all know the restorative pull of a beach holiday spent exploring hidden coves and tidal pools, collecting shells, watching the light shift across the water. We begin in the Mediterranean, of course: a dreamy family retreat in Zakynthos, the Crusoe-esque wilds of Corsica, and the grittier rhythms of Sète, a port city near Spain. But we wanted to wander further afield, too—to less expected coastal fantasies: dhow sailing in Mozambique, the quirky and moody English seaside, the frigid coves of Midcoast Maine, the stark volcanic landscapes of Lanzarote. The destinations couldn’t be more different, yet each captures the ocean’s strange, primordial hold—told through immersive images of aquamarine water and the sunstruck colors of summer: suits, umbrellas, surfboards glinting in the sun."
