Rosemary Wehberg: The Student World Traveler

Rosemary Wehberg: The Student World Traveler 
By: Rose Gause, ENGL 336



Rosemary Wehberg is a 20-year-old Frostburg junior who has traveled to some of the most sightseeing places in the world. If she is not off on a vacation somewhere then she is planning her next trip. With Spring break coming up she has planned to go to the island of St.Lucia in the eastern Caribbean Sea with her dad. For her 21st birthday, she has planned a trip to Banff Canada. She has even planned a two-week trip to Australia and New Zealand for January 2018. 

The fun, easy-going, and adventurous 20-year-old brightens up just discussing the topic of travel. As a child, she traveled a few times with her parents, but it wasn’t until high school she discovered her passion for traveling.

She has traveled to The Dominican Republic, Mexico, Bermuda, California, Florida, and Wyoming. Of those trips, her most memorable are the ones to The Dominican Republic, Wyoming, and Bermuda.While in the Dominican Republic Wehberg jumped off huge cliffs into the water. “It was the most exhilarating experience, but it was a great time. You just hope and pray that you won’t hit rock when you jump,” she says. She has not only traveled to The Dominican Republic for vacation, but she has also gone to do service work. In Wyoming, she saw Old Faithful and swam in Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone National Park. She advises that if anyone wants to see Old Faithful they should go see it soon because the eruptions may become dormant. In Bermuda, she went to the Horseshoe Bay Beach. She says, “the sand was pink which I really liked. You’re not supposed to take the sand home, but I had a plastic bag and filled it with sand and put it in my carry on. No one caught me. They ain’t never going to catch me.” 

Wehberg is from Salisbury Maryland, but after she graduates wants to live in another country for more than 6 months. She is majoring in communication studies with a minor in public relations. After graduation, she wants to work on the Royal Caribbean Line, but only for a couple of years. Wehberg explains that she is in college because of her passion for travel she says, “I’m going to college so I can do things like travel. If I had all the money in the world I’d drop out tomorrow and just go travel the world.”
