Mini bio
How it started.
After graduating from the University of New Brunswick in 2016, Luke moved to Taiwan with Sabrina Davidson to teach English. They began Chopstick Travel in January 2017, bringing their interests in photography and filmmaking to local food markets. Videos first made for family back home found an audience of fellow travellers and food fans.
Finding an audience.
His 2017 video Amazing Street Artist - Taipei, Taiwan became an early viral success and has passed 73 million views. Food remained the focus of his wider work, including a Gwangjang Market tour in Seoul and a Mongolian barbecue episode made with help from ARTGER.
Back to Taiwan.
Luke also hosts Taiwan Top 5 × Luke Martin for TaiwanPlus. Across its episodes he explores vegetarian food, seafood, tea and banquet dishes, often alongside local guests. In a separate TaiwanPlus interview, he revisited his beginnings as an English teacher in Chiayi and shared advice for new creators.
