In the first years of the decade, besides the UK and US, Banksy went to Barcelona, Berlin, Vienna, Tokyo, Paris, and Palestine, where he painted the first stencilled version of the iconic Love is in the Air behind a gas station in Bethlehem.

Banksy joined the Easton Cowboys, a radical football team from Bristol. In 2001, they went to Chiapas, Mexico, to play against a football team from EZLN, Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional. Banksy played as a goalkeeper. During the stay in Chiapas, the Banksy team completed a few stencils and at least two free-hands.
