Clowns
The clowns of Tafi de Valle
Last year, when i was travelling in Laos, I met Caro and Sole, two wonderful Argentinian girls also exploring the world. When my travels brought me to their home town of Tucuman in northern Argentina I had to visit them. We went to Tafi de Valle together with some more of their friends and how [...]
The desolate clowns of Chaitén
We were going hiking, that was the plan. The National park near the town of Chaitén was supposed to be gorgeous. The hikes beautiful. There was only one problem; we couldn’t do any day hikes there as there was only one bus a day to the park. We could go there, but we wouldn’t be [...]
The clown of the Perito Moreno glacier
I wait until there is no one else on the viewing deck – one placed at a dead end, and not one of the main ones, I think, hopefully not too many people will venture out here – before I start to put on my clown make-up. Two eastern European guys take forever, waiting for [...]
The tandem bike clowns of Georgetown, Penang
What do you get when you take a Dutch guy with a tandem bike – on his way from Kuala Lumpur, all the way to Hong Kong – biking to collect money for charity; a Swedish girl who´s pretty good at weaving strips of cloth into a wheel (a lot better than me at least, [...]
The motorcycle clowns of Tad Lo
We hijack one of the elephants just as it is about to leave it’s fencing area and get washed in the river nearby, stealthily all my wonderful biker clowns sneaks up and pose in front of it, and it’s a perfect finish of our clown shoot in Tad Lo that I for a while thought [...]
The clown of jars
The closest jar site is located about 3km out of town my Rough Guide nicely put it. I’ve been walking for about 40 minutes and I’m not sure if I’ve even out of the city yet – it seemed like such a small place, but appearances lie, obviously. The sun is getting warmer as well, [...]
The clown of Kuang Si waterfall
As we walk down through the different stalls of the night market in Luang Prabang we meet two nice middle aged guys travelling together (names long forgotten) yet again. We first met them on the slow boat (or was it the shuttle from the guest house in Chiang Khong to the border?), and keep bumping [...]
Clowns of Auckland
It was my second or third day in Auckland and I had just met Sarah (the same Sarah from Germany I ended up travelling with for a short while) when I told her, and the others at the dinner table (all of us probably eating some kind of cheap pasta) about my little clown project [...]
