About OOAworld

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.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog. I love your first video. Well done! can’t wait to see more. we’ll keep an eye on each other. I myself love travelling to and did a cross country trip in the 70’s that was amazing. I will write about it one of these days.

  2. Thanks for the follow! It looks like you’ve had alot of fun out there!

  3. Great blog! Thanks for the follow.

  4. How this is an awesome blog. it encapsulates more than just a travel blog or photography blog. It is a place to host and display images, videos, art, and stories about interaction among people. Keep it up.

  5. Wonderful Blog, looking forward to crossing this off my bucket list too, traveling the States 🙂

    Great way to get started in life and a good country to do it in. By changing your view point, it changes your point of view…..

  7. bocotypo says:

    Oops! I forgot to say thanks for the follow.

  8. Hi! I really love what you are doing, and I too would love to travel across the states some day, so I have nominated you for the creative chaos award. To see what you need to do to accept the award head over here: http://agirlcalledemily.wordpress.com/2012/05/30/creative-chaos-award/ I hope you accept!

  9. Hey! I love your blog idea, very inspiring. Thank you for taking the time to check out my blog and thank you for the follow.

  10. My Kerouac started calling me the minute I read your blog….excellent! Thanks for coming by our blog…yours is a find and we’ll share it.

  11. Amazing idea! I can’t tell you how many times I wish for minimal attachments to the “material world” in order to find the real meaning of living … I envy the artist that can do such a thing … in lieu of giving up the world completely (funny how Bill’s still need paid), we decided that we would try to visit as many states as possible with our kids before they set off for the great blue yonder as adults … so far – they traveled from California to Pa 6 years ago taking the southern route with two cars in tow and two Rottweilers (they were then 3 and 8). We’ve added 2 more states to our “map” and hopefully in a few weeks, we can add the New England cluster (or some of them)! Keep doing what you’re doing and know that the whole world is cheering you on!!

  12. An inspired idea, OOA! Best to you in your journey.
    I”ll look forward to the movie! 🙂

  13. Cool! I want to quit my job and leave everything behind to travel the country in a car or rv and just enjoy the views, food and people all along the way! BTW, Thanks for following my blog too! 🙂
