Accommodation / Atelier / ChileDuring our journey in Chile we made a stop in Valparaiso and could stay in the most interessting Hostel of the city: Hostel Voyage. It´s much nicer to stay at a friends´ place than in a hotel room. A lot of people prefer therefore couchsurfing, it´s a cheaper and as well much more personal way to travel. And at the doors of Hostel Voyage we were welcomed exactly that way. After riding the whole night in a horrible bus through half of the country and searching for over two hours for a place to stay – out of 20 hostels really nobody opened – we finally have been greeted at this nice lodge.

Norway / StreetartThis district is also simply wonderful and offers its own great multicultural diversity! Together with the district of Tøyen, Grønland is a central area for immigrants and migrants in Oslo. The percentage of migration in Grønland is around 40%. That means there’s something going on here! Here the mixture of cultural diversity, choice and possibilities is right. Here, too, real life takes place on the street. From the main station to the north you can stroll along the river AKERSELVA. In summer, the green areas are full. Many people do sports, drink beer, chill out, picnic, barbecue, listen to music and relax around the river. Of course, some finished figures also run around, because they continuously pop it too pure. It’s noticeable. The atmosphere is still very peaceful. Within five minutes, I had four different leaders who offered their services to me.

Germany / StreetartThis time we’re going to Wunstorf to a Hall of Fame that is hardly in the public eye and should not be underestimated. West of the Wunstorf train station, the span of the railway tracks to the west towards the city of Minden and to the northwest towards the city of Bremen is crossed by an elevated national road Hochstraße (B 441). Between these tracks and below this “urban planning fiasco” there is a small legal spray spot. This little insider tip often surprises with the finest pieces, which (at times) do not have to shy away from a quality comparison with those of the famous halls in the cities around.

Norway / StreetartSince many years in Bergen stencil art has established itself as a distinct form among the many urban artworks. Artists use stencils to quickly apply detailed motifs to house walls and fences, often with socially critical or humorous messages. Among those who have become well-known are the Norwegian artists DOLK, VLEK and AFK, whose works are partly political, partly playful, and have a lasting impact on the cityscape. There are works by many other artists, especially in central districts such as Nordnes and Sandviken, but also in hidden alleys off the beaten track.
