Traveling has been an important part of Melisa's life from an early age. Some of her earliest and fondest memories are of her family's yearly vacations to Disneyland with her parents, aunt, grandma, and younger brother. As her life has moved into different phases and her family has evolved, travel has remained and important piece.
