"Luke now traveled with Paul."
The "we" passages in Acts (e.g., Acts 16:10–17; 20:5–15; 21:1–18) are generally taken to indicate that the narrator was present with Paul on those parts of the journey — i.e., Luke is inserting himself as a traveling companion/eyewitness. (Some scholars note alternative explanations — e.g., a source travel diary or a literary device — but the straightforward reading is that the author joined Paul.)
