Hi, I'm Melisa from Metamora, IL. I'm majoring in biology for pre-med purposes.  I run a lot and play the violin. My favorite kind of travel is international with family and friends.  The best thing about traveling is the people you meet...and the food.  I also like seeing beautiful places by hiking.  The views are always worth the temporary breathlessness and weird bugs.  I like visiting old churches and ruins and getting into the local culture.  I enjoy boating on lakes but not oceans. Warm places with beaches are my favorite and I would like to go to Japan, Morocco, Santorini and Thailand.
