Paul Jebara

Paul Jebara writes about travel through the lenses of culture, design, and adventure as a regular contributor to Condé Nast Traveler. This McGill and Chinese University of Hong Kong grad also has bylines in Architectural Digest, Men's Journal, Town & Country, and Observer—occasionally trading his keyboard for time in front of cameras for brand campaigns or keeping conversations flowing as a panel moderator. A polyglot middle child, he's mastered enough languages to get himself into (and out of) trouble across the four continents he's called home and six he's explored. He'll try whatever food locals swear by—no matter how it stares back at him—and leaps into adventure sports with enthusiasm (provided someone's double-checked the safety gear). His Mediterranean roots fuel a perpetual chase for sunshine, while his creative sweet spot strangely hits mid-journey rather than at destination. Antarctica remains his final continental conquest—the penguins have been warned.
