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.

Thanks! Best wishes to you.
America is a land of great diversity. One should not stand still but rather walk, ride, or run this beautiful country. You would be doing the very thing that enables better understanding of people and place. I highly recommend this site.
(thanks for following)
Thank you! Will give the walk and run a try in the future…
Can’t wait to see the finished product!!! Great work, wish we could have met up on the road. I definitely have a lot to say about life and such.
Maybe there will be a chance in the future? Thanks for your support, will be sharing more about the progress on the movie.
Thanks for stopping by and following my blog.
You have an interesting project going on here. I just watched the video of Detroit, the city of my birth. Very well done, very cool.
Best wishes on the blog, travels, and movie! twinkly

Hi there, thanks for stopping by my blog Vacant Pages and choosing to follow, much appreciated. Love the blog, great images and continued success with your trip.
Thank you. Look forward to share more stories and photos.
What a wonderful project! I have to tell you the title reminds me of a very old Holly Near song I always loved. I want to say it’s called “Oh, America,” but that may be only the lyrics. (“Oh, America, I now can say your name/ without feeling bitter and without feeling ashamed/ I’ve traveled across your countryside, your cities and your towns/ and I’ve seen your friendly people come and turn my head around.”)
I just popped in to thank you for following my blog. It always gives me a thrill. 😉
Thank you!
And all the best with your great endeavor!
Thank you! I hope we can share more in the future.
Thanks for visiting and following my blog! Much appreciated! I wish you great success in your journey!
Thanks! more stories from the road soon!
Props for taking so many risks to work on something you believe in! I look forward to seeing the film when it comes together and to watching your journey unfold here.

Fabulous work in a marvelous blog. Astonishing.

Such interesting work you do. Wondering when the documentary will be coming out. I think I recognized the Louisville Slugger in the trailer. Louisville Ky is close to my home. Thanks for checking out my blog at peggywright.wordpress.com.
Thank you for your support. Enjoyed my stay in Kentucky and Louisville, will be updating about progress of the movie.
Try doing this if you are a woman. Even two women. You saw what happened to Thelma & Louise!
Not sure what to reply, but thanks for sharing!
You have some beautiful pictures here, and a lot of interesting impressions of the US. I took a trip a bit like your own, and ended up staying for a couple of years to study… it was about 50 years ago. In ’95 I visited again, and the US was completely different. There were places I revisited, and I could barely recognize them. Time changes everything…
Time changes everything, places first, but memories too. thanks for sharing, hope to share more.
” OOAMERICA”-: That is great. You have a good blog goin’.
Thanks for your support, more stories from the road to come.

Just wanted to take a moment to thank you for following my “Delightful Local Repast” blog…what a wonderful journey you’ve been on…like your blog. Cheers, Rose
Hi Rose, thank you for your support. Hope to share more soon.
Thanks for the follow. You’ve obviously busted your ass making an awesome project. Have you been able to work in Oklahoma and West Virginia yet?
Thanks! you named two of the few states which I barely got a chance to visit. Made it into Oklahoma last year but started having engine overheat trouble and headed west from there. Maybe in the future? Thanks!
I don’t doubt the engine trouble! it was way superhot for longer stretches than usual. And the winter had the lowest lows on record. You could try spring but there’s tornadoes…LOL. Good luck to ya!
The weather was pretty extreme (got luckier during part 2) – add a clunky car and engine and it was recipe for adventure. Thanks, will share more!
What a great-looking blog, & a great project! I guess you’ll be meeting the occasional tattooist on your journey. Thanks for checking-out the “Tattooists” poem on my stewartstanzas.wordpress.com poetry blog.
Thanks! Have actually not interviewed a tattoo artist… yet! More soon.
Thanks for following “Swords, Specters, & Stuff.” Best of luck on your journey.
Hi Mike, thank you for your support. Hope to share more soon.
Revo, Good luck to you! Wish I had been able to speak with you when you came through Louisville, KY as that is my home base. Looking forward to the film!
Thanks! Will be updating about the movie progress once the last entries from the trip are posted. Louisville was amazing!
Thanks for following my blog! Following you now, too! Cheers 😉
Welcome! Thanks! Cheers! 🙂
Great post–really enjoyed the tour. The photographs are striking. I definitely will be a daily reader. Take care–Bob J.
Hi Bob, thank you for your support. More stories from the road coming.
This is a really cool project. It’s so inspiring to see an artist commit so fully to their work.
Thanks! Appreciate the support, will be posting more stories from the road.
Incredible photos. We travelled up from LA to San Francisco when I was a child, stopping everywhere in between, Vegas, lone pine, Yosemite… and many more. We travelled for 4 weeks, in a big truck, staying a few nights some places, others one, some just passing through. The memories and the beauty of the country will always stay with me, just staring out the window at the changing landscape, the variety 🙂 Gorgeous, I look forward to the film!
Sounds like an amazing trip, didn’t get to see Yosemite unfortunately! Happy to share these stories / evoke some memories, more on the film soon! 🙂
It was truly an experience that luckily I was old enough to remember. I would love to go on a long road trip, just a car, sleep in the truck and travel. Maybe I will one day, I’m sure your film will inspire. 🙂
