Ever wished you could quit that day job, leave it all behind and hit the road?
Ever wondered what it would be like to live, work and travel while discovering a country, a continent and its people?
OOAworld Travel Journeys Around the World
Welcome to OOAworld, featuring creative and multimedia content from Ooa Revo’s long form continental journeys around the world. These include the year-long USA Road Trip where it all began, an equally lengthy Journey through Asia, an equivalent Journey through South America, and other long-form travels through Europe, Africa, Oceania and the Middle East.
OOAworld Creative Media and Storytelling
The creative works that resulted including photos, film, videos, writing, art, and more can be browsed here on OOAworld, and each journey can be followed chronologically.
OOAworld Travels and Travel Tips By Country
The OOAworld Travel section by Rolling Coconut features travel guides, travel tips, reviews, itineraries and more practical travel information in addition to the OOA journeys and creative media. All Travel content and stories can also be browsed by country.
The OOAworld Creative Works
The aims are, on paper, relatively simple: promote open exchange of ideas between people of all tides, as well as tolerance and peaceful thinking.
There are several main background projects which have accompanied the creation of OOAworld and its artistic content.
OOAworld Movie: “What’s Your Philosophy of Life”
One is a film / documentary featuring interviews of the very different people met along the way, asking them one common question: “What’s your philosophy of life?” (Watch the unofficial ooAmerica trailer below), as well as to “Tales of Strangers,” asking people to share a story of their choice.
OOAworld Creative Works: Novels, Photo Books, Short Films, Photo-Montages
The other main background projects include written novels and photo-books from the travels, short films and other artwork, as well as a series of large photo-montages.
I hope to eventually post more about the photographic approach, and, more generally speaking, the approach to these journeys.
OOAworld.com initially debuted as the ooamerica blog, a lot of road has been covered since!
The site’s content can be browsed by following each OOA continental journey or by browsing the different media above.
The OOAworld Travel section can be used to browse all stories by country. It includes travel tips, reviews and itineraries by Rolling Coconut in addition to creative media by Ooa Revo.

Start with ooAmerica, a 25,000 mile USA Road Trip across the United States. Launch into ooAsia, a year-long journey across all of Asia. Or browse stories by types of media and travel destinations.
Awesome idea! I can’t wait for my own major road trip! Consider yourself followed! =)
Thank you! Look forward to share.
Love your blog! Thank you so much for following us 🙂
🙂 thanks for your support, welcome!
I’ve managed to get to 35 of the states. Your road trip #1 is remarkably similar to one I made, but in three sections, and without the portion across New Mexico and southern Texas. The USA is a fascinating place.
Loved that #1 itinerary! thanks for visiting, more road to come.
This is an absolutely incredible concept. I whole-heartedly support the idea of getting to know a country or area by immersing yourself in the culture, going off the beaten track, speaking and sharing with the locals. I’ve been fortunate enough to travel around New England and Texas, and I was overwhelmed by the hospitality. I’m about to study for a year in the University of California- Santa Barbara as an exchange student from England, and I will be sure to record my time in a similar way. It would be great to try and work out some way of contributing- outsider perspective maybe :P?!
I’ll be sure to keep my eye on this blog, looking at the various pages have gotten me psyched for my time in California, bring on September 2012!
Hi, thanks for your support and enthusiasm! currently focusing on getting the content up from the trip then the movie, but am working to eventually have a platform where people could contribute. thanks for sharing and hope to keep in touch.
Hi from England, quite a blog you have constructed here, so much to look at and to read, very impressive. I like the whole idea of what is being done here and so will pop back from time to time to see how things are going. And thank you for finding the time to take a look at my ramblings LOL I can see I have a way to go to get near your blog. Well done;
Thanks for your support. More road to come.
What a very unique concept. Thanks for visiting thefirstgates and following.
thanks, welcome to the road!
Very cool. Funny how hard some people think it is to just get in a car and go. I went around half the country, starting in the Gila Wilderness of New Mexico and up the California coast to Vancouver, East, down to Montana, sent to jail for a few days at the border for carrying in smoking apparatuses (welcome back to America!), then down to Colorado where I found love, and back home to Vermont. Quite an adventure. One doesn’t have to travel the world to experience a lot when North America is so large and all-encompassing in a a lot of ways. Happy trails!
Thanks for contributing 🙂 more stories to come, happy trails!
What a great adventure! I love road-tripping, and I can’t wait to see the finished movie! Thanks so much for following my blog!
Will begin editing the movie as soon as the stories of part 2 are up on the site, thanks for your support!
i LOVE what you’re doing! i am always stunned when i meet someone who has zero desire to explore the open road — believe it or not they exist. i want to forward your site as inspiration. in fact i’m planning a cross country trip soon – so this visit has fueled the fire even more. thanks for that, and for visiting and following http://themiddlelifeofk.wordpress.com/
Happy to fuel :), look forward to share!
What a fantastic blog! It’s so joyful!
Thanks! Try to make it so, although that’s not always the case!
What a great website you have! I love good travelogues; this is better than Anthony Bourdain on sooo many levels. And thanks for checking out mine as well, it gave me the opportunity to find your site.
Thank you, look forward to share more soon.
Bravo. You’re heroic.

Thanks for stopping by and liking + following. Good work here
Thanks, more road ahead…
My husband and I have traveled around the US many times, camping in a tent, in a tent trailer, in a van, with kids, without kids — never in a behemoth. America has so much to offer in the way of variety and natural beauty, we never tire of traveling there. You’ve got the right idea. Keep on truckin’.
Will keep truckin’, thanks for your support and sharing.
I’m envious that you are traveling the country and enjoy your observations. Look forward to seeing your movie. Thanks for visiting and liking my post. I imagine you’re finding all kinds of amazing spots.
Thanks for your continued support, will be sharing more as the movie is in the making.
Ooamerica, I would like to nominate you for the Versatile Blogger Award. Your covering America and it’s a diverse, versatile country just like your posts that share all of the country with us. There is an awards acceptance process and here is a link to it: http://canoecommunications.wordpress.com/2012/06/15/and-the-nominees-are/
Thank you for the award! I’ll take a look at the instructions and will write about this in a future post as soon as possible.
Awesome work! I love what your doing and Kickstarter is a great way to take your film to the next level! I look forward to seeing where the adventure takes you.
Thank you for your support and wishes. Will see if I can get Kickstarter once content from the trip is posted.
Oh and what camera and lens do you use? Just curious! I have a canon rebel t3i and am looking for new lens options.
5D II, 28mm and 15mm fixed lenses. Tried the t3i and it’s great!
Thanks! I had a feeling it was a 5D… I want one badly! The t3i is pretty good for a more consumer version. The footage is fairly comparable.
Hello Ooamerica,
Thank you very much for following my blog. I hope I don’t disappoint you and that your visits in my blog have been and will always be a joyful ride. 🙂
Thank you again and lovely day to you! 🙂
Subhan Zein

Thank you! Hope you stay tuned.
Thanks so much for following! Your blog is amazing-such an exciting journey that you’re documenting!
Thanks, happy to share!
Hi ooa revo! Thanks for stopping by and following my blog…hope you stick around! Meanwhile, I love your endeavor here. The experience of meeting such a diverse people in one country must be wonderful. I’m wondering if it was what you expected or were there things that enriched or surprised you in any way?
Hello! Thank you for your support. I’m not sure I understand your question: in some ways the country was ‘what I expected’, but this was not to the detriment of enriching and surprising experiences! I think they happened every day, at one level or another… not sure where to start? Hope you stay tuned, thanks.
so you’re on this journey … others choose to go to Asia or any other country…i wonder how this trip will turn out for you 🙂
Thank you! Not ruling out other trips 🙂 stay tuned!
Good Luck!
Thanks! Hope you follow the upcoming road…
Thanks very much for following!
Welcome and thanks! More stories to come.
Wow, wish I could just cash it in and go on such a road trip…. maybe I will!
Let me know when you do! thanks for your support.
Reading that reminded me very much of Jack Kerouac’s novel, ‘On the Road’ I read last year, not quite the same sentiment but similar. 🙂 Also, Thanks for following ‘sextails’ and ‘erudite reflections’, I’ll be popping back to see you soon!
Thanks! Look forward to sharing more with you.
Amazing project, waiting for more and the whole film to come out!
Thanks! will keep you updated as to progress of the movie, stay tuned!

Hope you get the opportunity! Thanks!
