Paul Jebara is a NYC-based freelance journalist and photographer specializing in travel, architecture, design, and men’s style. He’s a third-culture kid, polyglot, and heliophile who’s ventured to 50 countries (and counting) questing after authentic experiences. His writing has also appeared in Condé Nast Traveler, Architectural Digest, Dezeen, Bon Appétit, and more.

Brittany Smith is the editor in chief at Men's Journal, where she manages all verticals on the website. She specializes in editing and writing stories that pertain to an intrepid lifestyle—including adventure, travel, fitness, and gear. In addition to Men's Journal, she has print and digital bylines in Bloomberg Pursuits and Men's Fitness, where she formerly served as a senior associate editor.

During her tenure at Men's Journal, aside from editing and writing, she managed the health and fitness section of the magazine, Blueprint; starred as on-camera talent for video; and organically boosted Men’s Journal’s Instagram following by 50K in 1.5 years.

An Ithaca College alumna, she has a B.A. in journalism and a minor in writing. Her fitness background began with track and field as a sprinter, but after a career-ending injury, she pivoted to strength training and functional fitness. Since, she's dabbled in endurance events including triathlons and multi-stage mountain bike tours.

She’s biked 155 miles across Africa, placed third in the ITU World Triathlon Series amateur age group in Bermuda, and hiked the Rotstock Via Ferrata near the infamous north face of Eiger in Switzerland.

She lives by the mantra, If the journey doesn’t scare you to some degree, go bigger and wilder.
