6 Fun Things to Do in Pittsburgh in Winter. Top Story - February 2018.
Winter's here whether we like it or not, so we might as well make the best of it! Even though summer is definitely the best time to visit Pittsburgh (the sun, the festivals, the baseball games...), winter can be enjoyed if you work at it a little bit. These are some of my favorite things to do in Pittsburgh in the wintertime.

Diving in the Pacific Ocean
“Clear,” shouted the dive master. Head first, I backward spiraled off the small diving boat carefully located at the northern tip of Pelileu Island on the Philippines Ocean. As my body took consciousness of the water around it, I could feel my wetsuit and temperature synchronizing. My eyes were slowly checking the surroundings as I slowly descended into the mouth of the Yellow Wall. The bubbles were forming around my mask as my breathing was testing out the equipment.

Six Reasons Why Mexico's Riviera Maya Should Be Your Next Diving Destination. Top Story - February 2018.
1. Go to a museum... underwater! That's right, the world famous MUSA in Cancun contains over 500 life size permanent sculptures designed and created by British artist Jason deCaires Taylor. This is a truly once in a lifetime experience; I mean, where else can you find a real size VW beetle while ten metres underwater? There are also small houses, replica grenades, groups of people and the always popular 'bankers'; men with briefcases, calculators and their heads in the sand. The museum is made from marine friendly materials designed specifically to attract fish and other sea life to the site.

Mindfulness in the Mountains
When I was younger, I remember there were many instances involving my dad telling me to pay attention to my surroundings. We would be hiking, usually close to home in Salt Lake City, or maybe in Zion National Park, and I’d be running wild; jumping over cracks (to avoid breaking my momma’s back), climbing rocks, looking for animals. Without a doubt I’d probably forget to pay attention and run right into oncoming hikers. My parents would apologize, obviously embarrassed, and then we’d be on our way.

Do You Hike?
Do you love to hike? Do you hike alone? With friends? Or with family? Hiking is like a exercise. Some don't think so. If you really think about it, you're climbing over fallen trees, climbing moderate mountains, walking down trails and all such of stuff. To some, like serial killers, it's a place to murder or bury a body. Me? It's a nature palace where I can smoke ganja and not get judgement from animals and spirits that roam there. I also, before I became a mother, used to swim in the river, nude, in an isolated area. Nature is a very kind place.

She Slept Soundly on the Seashore
The best things about camping are the things we don’t have while we’re at home living our busy lives: Solitude, an open sky, the sounds of a living earth that get overpowered by an ever-active civilization. I go for the crickets and the whispering of critters’ feet on the forest floor, but many sleep better with the thundering roll of water against the shore when they escape urban life and wander out under the stars.

7 Reasons to Book a Ski Trip
1) Try Something New If you have never skied or snowboarded before, you’re in for a treat! With a few lessons, most people are able to get to grips with the basics and it’s always a great sense of achievement when you learn a new skill. Ski or snowboard lessons are a good introduction to the sport because you will learn how to move yourself about safely, and you will also learn how to fall without hurting yourself!
