Hi, I’m Blake.ย Welcome to my little corner of the web.

๐Ÿฟ๏ธ In a nutshell

I’m a traveling writer and experiential educator with a deep love for adventure.

42 years old. California native, currently living in Europe.

My life is low-income, high-freedom, and filled with nature, travel, dance, and friends. Read more at The Adventures of Blake.

I believe that a surprising number of kids don’t need school to become happy or successful adults: an idea I’ve explored through books, speaking, podcasting, and my Unschool Adventures trips for teenagers.

Currently I’m writing a new book, creating on TikTok, and running meetups for young adults who don’t find a home in the normal world of work. Browse my zine, Do What You Love and Die Trying, to taste what I’m offering.

Please enjoy this personal/professional website, with all its nooks and crannies. Get in touchย anytime.
