Something unique about Melissa:
“While in Tasmania I had the opportunity of visiting a secluded national wildlife reserve. I slept in old prisoner’s quarters and woke up to a field of 20 or more wild kangaroos. While hiking there I followed a trail of down feathers and came across two baby penguins sleeping under some rocks. I was also was lucky enough to hold a Tasmanian Devil cub. It was like my own animal planet experience!”
