MARLA GOES NORTH
Stories from a quiet life between worlds
Marla Goes North began as a record of my departure from full-time life in the U.S. in 2021. It continues to evolve as I do, becoming a space to explore belonging, curiosity, and community, and to carve out calm in the midst of the noise.
It’s part travel journal, part creative project, and part reflection on what it means to build a life rooted in two places.
Here you’ll find Mixtapes, shared seasonally with subscribers, offering reflections and updates from my life in Norway woven with books, music, and ideas I’m exploring; Field Notes, snapshots of people, places, and stories that offer a closer look at Norwegian culture; Journeys, stories from the road that capture the rhythm and meaning of travel; and Life Stories, personal essays that trace the longer arcs of my path.
