Outside The Bible there are no proof who Mark was. The author of Gospel of Mark is still unknown and still being debated. Your question on where Mark live may remain unanswered for a long time.

Studying the Gospel of Mark and other gospels leads us to speculate just who Mark was and where he lived. Bible scholars equate him with John Mark who accompanied Paul on his missionary journeys. In addition, Mark's gospel is the only one that mentions a yound man escaping and running away naked at the arrest of Jesus after his robe was seized by one of the guards. This cameo performance adds nothing to the drama of the arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane and so many Bible scholars believe that the yound man was Mark himself, placing in the storyhis 'I was there' statement. In addition, the young man mentioned carrying a pitcher of water to the upper room (where the Last Supper was to be held) again adds little to the story suggesting again that this was John Mark's doing. It is believed by Bible Scholars that John Mark's mother may well have lived in the house where the Last Supperas held. If this is so, then Mark would have lived in Jerusalem at the time that Jesus was there. This adds weight to the argument in that by being in Jerusalem, and not Galilee, he would have met Paul before accompanying him on his missionary journeys. actually specualtion is not the right word as we have ample evidence that the Gospel of mark was indeed written by mark in Rome between 60-65 C.E. covering the years from 29-33 C.E.
