MARLA GOES NORTH
Carving out calm between worlds
Marla Goes North began as a record of leaving 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.
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 — seasonal updates from my life in Norway, with what I’m reading, listening to, and inspired by.
Field Notes— snapshots of people, places, and stories that offer a closer look at Norwegian life and culture.
Journeys — travel stories from Oslo, Stavanger, Denmark, and beyond.
Life Stories — personal essays drawn from my own experiences and reflections.
Subscribe to receive new Mixtapes and Field Notes as they’re published.
