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

🐿️ 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, working on a new podcast and book called Dirtbag Rich.

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.

Enjoy the nooks and crannies of this personal/professional website. Write anytime. Find me on Facebook and TikTok.
