Summary
There are very few people in this world who I would describe as a genuine authority on anything, but Yolanda Edwards is the real deal and I will not hear otherwise. She is the former Creative Director of Condé Nast Traveler, the founder and publisher of Yolo Journal, which is honestly the most beautiful and inspiring travel publication in existence right now, and one of the most curious, well-traveled, tasteful humans I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Yolo Journal, both the print quarterly and the Substack, has completely changed how I think about travel. It is not a guide. It is an experience. And Yolanda is the reason for that.
I got to sit down with her in New York, which felt right, and we talked about where she is obsessed with right now, the places she keeps returning to, and how she actually thinks about travel at this moment. I genuinely learn something every single time I talk to this woman.
