Timberland Mudlark Safari Chukka Review

How bad-ass do I look just chillin’ in my new iced out Timbs?

I kid, but the Timberland Boot company has earned its reputation after being unexpectedly adopted by inner-city youth and became a staple of hip-hop and urban attire. Their niche found them, rather than the other way around, and Timberland seems to have gone ahead and embraced that. The company still identifies with its original goal: to create a truly waterproof leather boot for workers and outdoors people.

Timberland Boot Company’s spring and summer men’s collection is in with the times. In particular, the ‘Timberland Mudlark Safari Chukka, which

Pre-Urban Exploration Mexico: Hilton Puerto Vallarta Resort

I’ve spent a lot of time in hotels in my life, but all of them have been, well, built when I got there. With walls and bathroom fixtures and everything. So when I got the opportunity to visit the new Hilton Puerto Vallarta Resort to do some pre-urban exploration Mexico. Before it was finished, I decided it would be a perfect opportunity for a website with the word “unfinished” in the title, but has a shortage of articles about unfinished things.

The Hilton Puerto Vallarta Resort is just five minutes south of Gustavo Diaz Ordaz International Airport (PVR) and a ten minute drive from Puerto Vallarta’s city center. It’s right in the middle of the city’s large hotel zone, so its close to all the malls, shopping, and dining in the area. Apparently it will have a buffet and a la carte gourmet dining, limitless beverages, 24-hour room service, daytime activities, recreational amenities, and live nightly entertainment. And this is all on the beach.

EXO Hardside Spinner Carry-On – Travel Tested

The First step to becoming a ‘Finished Man’ is to live an exciting life, which means having exciting experiences. This might mean racing a Ducati motorcycle at top speed. Though it’s up to you to define what these experiences are, I’ve found that the secret sauce in the recipe is travel.

When I first started traveling, I would move around like a backpacking schmuck, often staying in dumpy hostel dorm rooms as a student. I would pack my hobo-looking clothes in an oversized backpack that I found for sale on REI, and off I went. This actually served me ~~well~~ for many years. Everyone has to start somewhere, and the experience made me what I am today, even if I was

Shamans, Spas, and Mel Gibson: Spiritual Tourism in Mexico

I am not a superstitious or religious man. I believe part of what happens to us is a result of our choices. I also believe in being at the right place at the right time.

On a recent trip to “Los Tuxlas,” in what was once the cradle of the Olmec civilization, the oldest in Mesoamerica, I traveled by motorboat to the Nanciyaga ecological reserve famous for its Shamans. We passed the eponymously named Crocodile Island and an island full of a screeching monkey population that

Need a Hangover Cure? Try Interjet

Hangovers are never fun. Especially tequila hangovers, which we all know are the kind of hangovers that feel like an ice pick has been driven into your skull over one eye because we all know that hangovers are always asymmetrical. Nothing is fun while being hungover, but some activities are worse than others. Sitting in the shower, for example, is bearable. So is watching a Will Ferrell

Believe It or Not, I’m Zipping on Air: Mexican Style

Since we looked at birds and said, “Pffft, I can do that,” humankind has been obsessed with flight. I’m not talking about airplanes or helicopters, either. I’m talking about full-on, unassisted, Superman-style gliding. However, almost all those attempts have failed, like Icarus or those old 1900s videos of dudes with mustaches building flying machines. There is, however, one extreme sport that allows mere mortals the closest we will ever get to self-propelled flight: a zip line.
