Two former strangers meeting at woome.com come up with a crazy idea. Embark on a cross country trip to meet the hundreds of cool users they WOO’d on WooMe face to face and extend online relationships to offline friendships, couch surfing and doing some good across the country, all along the way. Two men, 15 major cities, 8 pockets full of cash, four thousand miles of road and one mission. WOO around America! More...

“Is this a joke, boy?” the slightly overweight salesman originally from Ft. Worth said with a relaxed demeanor. He gave me two options:

1. Redneck style ($250)
2. Cowboy style ($900)

After explaining to him our endeavors to make it to New York staying on woo-peoples’ couches, I agreed on the coolest (and least expensive) Lone Star state get-up.

Check out a cool fan video that WooMe user Mariah made for us! Yeah, she’s the shit. Thanks Mariah! Can’t wait to see you in New York… WooAroundAmerica.com baby, holla!

With our stay in New Mexico coming to a close, we decided it was time to fill up the gas tank before heading off to Lubbock, Texas. So we headed over to the Ready Mart to fill up, popped in the pump and let ‘er ride. After grabbing some Fuze green tea from inside, I returned remove the nozzle. Little did I know this shit hole gas station had overfilled our tank. I gave the nozzle a pull and it didn’t budge so I yanked it and BAM!!! Pressurized gas erupted back out like Ryan’s mouth after a long night of drinking. More…

Nothing wrong with a little role playing, as long as it’s harmless and mutually agreed upon.

TheOysta and I, on the backend of our Albuquerque stop decided to check out some local attractions before we took off on our Eastern Journey. At the University of New Mexico we discussed how we wanted to be Lobos simply because the logo looked so damn cool. Because “The Pit” was closed (UoNM’s basketball stadium) we had to simply imagine how cool it would be to watch a game from the front row… but we got over that pretty quickly.

10,000 ft. to be exact.

Since arriving in Albuquerque, our hopes to find some attractions specific to the region were met with some confusion. If we were in Mexico, it’d be simple: tequila, cervesas, and mamacitas. It just so happens that New Mexico has all three, but that left a little more to be desired. After our failed attempts to connect with our woo-girls we knew in the area, we decided to head to Sandia’s Peak. Atop this peak, we were taken aback by the beautiful panaromic view of the Cibola National forest, and decided to treat ourselves to a few drinks atop this majestic vantage point. It was clear that while the elevation change did not affect our alcohol tolerance atop, once we arrived back to the car we felt a little woozy, but in a good way nonetheless.
