For most, the ideal man is tall, dark and handsome. Abdullah Al Jumah exceeds those criteria – he’s also Harvard-educated and a professional adventurer with style. The 29 year old represented Saudi Youth at the Misk Global Forum in 2016.
The Riyadh native was a lecturer at King Saud University, and he’s currently a brand ambassador for Cartier. Not many college students can say their professor has ever had a deal with a luxury brand.
He has also given legal counsel to the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources in Saudi Arabia, and is even ranked among Arabian Business’s 100 Most Powerful Arabs Under 40.
The handsome adventurer has written several books, from “Orphans Who Changed History” to “Tales of a Saudi in Europe.” The latter was inspired by his Twitter posts, where he shared his worldwide adventures with a captivated audience – with 177,000 followers on Twitter, he didn’t have to look hard to find his audience.
His focus has shifted to travel writing, and we love it. Just flip through his Instagram or Twitter posts and you’ll see the most beautiful sights in the world. He will definitely inspire you to start saving for your big trip across the globe!
He recently made a splash on Quest Arabiyah with his own “flashpacking” series – think backpacking, but with more style. The series is called Rahaalah, which means “traveller,” and it was the first Arabic language travel series of its kind. It focused on Gulf travellers looking to explore cities around the world, backpacking normally by day, but enjoying an up-scale experience at night.
To be frank, we can’t imagine the jet lag he has to deal with, but don’t think he’s resting just yet – the flashpacker is planning to publish a book on his travels through Latin America this year, so keep an eye out.
