I am a second-year student at Oxford Brookes Univeristy doing a BA in Media, Journalism and Publishing. I find both publishing and journalism very interesting, but I have a slightly bigger interest for Journalism because I have a passion for writing and would love to tell peoples' stories.
I was born and raised in Norway, more specifically, the north of Norway on the Lofoten islands. I absolutely love going for hikes, especially in the mountains we have right outside our door at home. I have three older brothers who all are married and have children. I am adventurous and I enjoy travelling and exploring the world. Because I have travelled a lot, I have friends spread across the globe. I live in Oxford right now, and I really like it here. I am however missing the nature at home. So, if Oxford was by the coast and had more mountains, it would be the perfect city for me.
Along with this blog about typography, I have made a website I use as my portfolio and also publish articles and other texts I have written. This is to give me practice in writing and actually sharing what I write. Check it out at mariehenriksen.com

I bought a ukulele because I wanted to learn how to play guitar, and I thought the ukulele was just a small guitar. I was wrong, so now I am trying to learn how to play ukulele
