Mark Wiens

It's all about the food with this globe-trotting YouTuber. He lives in Thailand with his wife and son, but travels the globe to bring you some of the best street food videos around. If you like spicy stuff, you'll love watching Mark try each country's traditional dishes, even the super-hot ones.

“You, the hollow cavity in my chest. You were there, and now you’re not, but I find myself not minding. I fill the spaces with lilacs now and I filter you through wind-shifting leaves and send you open palmed back into the sun where you belong- you, always so hard to look at. Dazzling. Meant to be forever far away.” -journals, summer ‘18

Until we can get back out there on our international vacations, these video getaways should tide you over.
