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

🐿️ In a nutshell

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

Culturally Californian. Level 43. No homebase. Owner of two bicycles and zero cars.

At the moment, I’m reconnecting with my favorite people and places in North America after spending a few years in Europe.

My new book, Dirtbag Rich, is out now! 📯

🧐 What I believe

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

I also believe that full-time servitude isn’t necessary for adults: that it’s possible to strike a magical balance of time, money, and purpose that lets you do good work—and not too much of it—while pursuing your wildest dreams. (See: Dirtbag Rich)

😇 What I’m proud of

  • Supporting myself by taking teenagers on big, unique, life-changing adventures for 18+ years
  • Publishing five books and increasingly vulnerable personal pieces
  • Becoming a better partner dancer (and also a DJ, organizer, and facilitator of “dance connection”)
  • My many travel and outdoor adventures, plus the ongoing adventure of existing nomadically
  • Enjoying wonderful friendships all across the world

🚲 How we might connect

  • Write me—I respond to all thoughtful inquiries
  • Comment on a newsletter or Facebook post
  • Join one of my talks or workshops (or invite me to give one)
  • From April-Sep 2026, I’m on my bicycle in the USA—if you’re en route, say hi!
