On June 23 2010, I embarked on a world trip. I travelled 20 countries in 6 months. The aim of the journey was to work on peace on a number of levels. The first was inner peace, to face my fears. The second was sacred sites, to understand the mysteries of our planet and the third, was to be a World Peace Clown and meet the people. I wanted to see if clowns can transcend international boundaries. What I found was that the clown is a universal symbol of peace and friendship.

Is peace possible is no longer my question, peace is already here. We just have to get to know each other, resolve conflicts nonviolently and seek to understand differences in language, culture and respect those differences without trying to change people. I would like to see traditional customs respected as the world has definitely become globalised and within that a capitalist style of trading which is increasingly causing problems environmentally and culturally. If globalisation can be utilised as a means to understand others and work together as a global community to solve problems and ensure no people live in poverty and that we live within an ecological footprint. That is essential.

We are indeed one world.

Here are photo’s of my world trip. Choose a country or sit down and watch the slide shows whilst you join me clowning around the world. What a blast… woo hoo
