Marybeth Bond – Press Photos

If, like me, you're stuck at your desk working this winter, then travel vicariously with Annalyse, our College Correspondent in Europe.   Here she tosses a coin at the Trevi Fountain in Rome, then receives a blessing from the Pope, and reflects on life in Florence. Follow her bungee jumping in a blizzard, eating cheese fondu and sledding in the dark in Interlaken, Switzerland. Meet our new Staff Blogger, Alison DaRosa, a six-time winner of the Lowell Thomas Gold Award for travel writing, the most prestigious prize in travel journalism.  She served 15 years as Travel Editor of the San Diego Union-Tribune.
