A Magic Carpet Ride is more than just a travel memoir and a different voice in travel. It is a story within a story about personal journeys as well as travel journeys. A cosmic theme unfolds, as well as a theme of preparing for the empty nest. The first generation Greek American author describes what it is like to take her own children back to her ancestral homeland to discover the essence of their roots, much like the author did in her childhood trips to Greece. Over 20 countries are described in A Magic Carpet Ride, as well as an educational unit that the author and her three sons designed to build their own trip itineraries and research components. International recipes are also included. While there are many travel books about people wandering to find themselves, millennials backpacking or single people restoring villas, etc. there are not many travel books about the happily bonded family on adventures of wanderlust. Of the many themes, the strongest is the author's rediscovery of her mother's spirit while traveling "Mother Earth". This book is about travel, history, love, pain, goals, fears, risk, adventure, humor, understanding, letting go and faith. Come take a magic carpet ride!
