When it comes to cooking, Mark Wiens is unquestionably a household name. There have been more than 1 billion views on his YouTube channel so far. The vlogger has a YouTube channel where he posts videos about street food and travel advice. While based in Bangkok, Thailand, the full-time travel eater travels around the world to eat delicious food and share his experiences with others.
Mark Wiens is one of the most popular food vloggers in the world, thanks to his YouTube channel. He is able to reach a wide range of people around the world with his work because he travels and tries new foods from all over the world.
Where is Mark Wiens from?
On February 26, 1986, the food vlogger was born in Phoenix, Arizona. Mark Wiens will be 34 years old in September 2020.
Where are Mark Wiens parents from?
An American father and Chinese mother gave birth to Mark. As a result, Mark Wiens is of mixed ethnicity. That meant that he had to relocate frequently as a child because his parents were missionary workers.
Education
At age nine, Mark moved to the quaint French village of Albertville to begin his formal schooling there. Three years later, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, he was home-schooled by his mother.
Later, when he and his family moved to Kenya in 1996, he attended an international Christian school (Rosslyn Academy).
He attended Rosslyn Academy from 5th grade through high school graduation in 2008 (with the exception of one year in the United States).
For one year, he attended Glendale Community College before transferring to Arizona State University, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in Global Studies in 2008.
Career
When Mark was a kid, he developed an intense interest in food that has lasted to this day. Foraging for wild fruits and berries and even insects in the Congo jungle was a favorite pastime for Mark’s family.
With the help of an international education program at his new international school, Mark was given the opportunity to sample cuisine from around the world.
Mark’s desire to learn more about the world and eat better food grew during his college years.
He embarked on a South American solo trip in 2008, shortly after graduating, with little more than a backpack and a dream. He ended up taking a TESOL certificate course in order to become an English teacher. He returned to the United States a few months later to attend the wedding of his sister.
When he decided to start a blog in early 2009, it was during this period. Migrationology.com was born thanks to about 10 cups of coffee a day.
People who “love to eat and travel” visit Migrationology to learn about food from all over the world and get a taste of it. In addition to providing mouth-watering recipes, the website encourages visitors to push themselves, set goals, and go after their dreams.
Mark flew to Bangkok on a one-way ticket with no plans other than to eat as much as he could while he was there.
After a six-month trip through Southeast Asia, he had spent nearly all of his savings. He flew from Manila to Bangkok while he was in the Philippines at the time.
It wasn’t long before he decided to get a job teaching English, and he signed a one-year contract to do so.
However, he found that teaching English was not his calling, despite the fact that it was a rewarding experience.
His goal for the year was for him to never teach again and to find a way to make money on the internet so that he could travel (and eat) while earning money at the same time, which was accomplished.
Mark started a food blog in his spare time. Dwight Turner, a fellow Arizonan, helped him launch the blog eatingthaifood.com.
Food was a huge passion for Mark and Dwight, and they spent a lot of time in Thailand trying new dishes with each other. Having a lot of Thai food photos, they decided to start a food blogging website.
Mark would spend every free moment blogging and staring at his computer until his eyes began to bleed.
Things started going in the right direction after about three years of blogging, when Mark published his first e-book: Eating Thai Food. In the end, it worked out for him. He started making money from his blog.
However, he soon realized that blogging alone wasn’t enough to keep him going.
When Mark first started vlogging, he had no idea how to go about it. He decided to combine his love of travel and food by starting a food vlogging channel from around the world.
As of September 2020, Mark Wiens’ YouTube channel had more than 6.7 million subscribers and over 1 billion page views. On his channel, you’ll find videos of street food, travel vlogs, and a lot of Thai food. On Sundays and Wednesdays at 8 p.m. Bangkok time (GMT+7), he posts videos.
Besides his food vlog, Mark has been running his own travel channel for several years now called Mark Abroad.
