The Migrationology of Mark Wiens

I've been searching the web for videos on what people thought of Malaysian food . I found a ton of videos posted on YouTube about people's experience with Malaysian food while abroad. I came across this foodie and travel blogger who I found quite interesting (especially when one calls himself a Durian addict!) and is definitely worth talking about! 

Mark Wiens, who originally hails from Phoenix, Arizona, was uprooted from the States along with his family to France, Congo and finally to Kenya. He found his way back to the States when he attended college at the Arizona State University where he pursued a degree in Global Studies with an emphasis of Art and Culture. 

He eventually ventured to Southeast Asia and has apparently fallen in love with the region ever since. Mark is now based in Bangkok where is he working on building an online business allows him to travel and experience foods from around the world. He makes his living through freelance writing, blogging, food and niche websites.


The '11 Amazing Things To Do in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia' video on YouTube and his '14 Malaysian Food Photos - Are You Ready To Drool?' blog post definitely won me over. I was very intrigued by the fact that someone from the other side of the world has nothing but good things to say about Malaysian food.

Besides eating his way around the globe, Mark maintains two websites where he writes and vlogs about his food experiences, Migrationology and Eating Thai Food. Check it out!
