Yolo Journal – Issue 21

A luxury travel magazine curated by Yolanda Edwards, who has graced the top of magazine mastheads throughout her career, most recently at Condé Nast Traveler.

Our Spring 2026 issue unfolds in kaleidoscopic color. We begin in the hills of Yunnan, China—home to ancient kingdoms and living folklore; then travel to the lowland jungles and volcanic plateaus of Guatemala, alive with vibrant textile traditions; and onward to Northern Vietnam, where incense-making and indigenous craft endure in villages built above terraced rice paddies. In cities and towns, we see Casablanca through the lens of Magnum photographer Bruno Barbey, before wandering the candy-colored site of Yoro Park, Japan, the Neo-Baroque splendor of Budapest, and the blooming gardens of Giverny. Finally, we bring back our Cure section, devoted to wellness in incredible surroundings: the fairytale gardens of Sterrekopje near Cape Town, the mystical grounds of Como Shambhala in Bali, and the deep emerald heights of Machu Picchu.
