Hi! Welcome to Maddie and Mark’s Flying-Carpet-Life! We took the plunge and are now living on our flying carpet full-time just exploring the world. We’ll be updating the blog regularly, so check in every day. Be seeing you –- from above!

Quick tour of our setup: We’ve got a classic flying carpet. I found it in my great-grandmother’s attic (Don’t know where she got it, but great-grandpa served with Patton in North Africa.) We keep supplies in backpacks hanging from ropes across the width of the carpet (Remember, balance your supplies every time you take off, so you fly level!). The popup tent is rolled up in the front and the chemical toilet in the back – we try not to have to use that last one, but “be prepared.”

The sky is beautiful now, with fluffy clouds all around us. We ate a great lunch at a little diner tucked away off old Rt. 66.
Explore old highways – it’s not like the potholes can stop you!

Shoutout to my fellow carpet-lifers! Anybody out there know anything about carpet care? We’ve got some fraying at the edges. Gives us another reason to cuddle close, though!

Some weird smoke is coming from the carpet, making strange shapes, and we keep getting higher. Any advice? I’m down to one bar on the pho—
