“Nothing is written in the stars… No one controls your destiny.” – Gregory Maguire Recently, we headed to the Detroit Opera House to see the musical, Wicked. I have to admit, I wasn’t super excited.

Over the last year or so, my adventures have started to include food tours/events to get to know the local culture of a city a different way. In Miami, we tasted our way through Little Havana. In Santiago, we snacked on empanadas and South American delicacies and now, in Paris, we explored Montmartre through food. …
