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)

📣 Upcoming appearances

From now through September 2026, I’m on my bicycle in the USA—if you’re en route, say hi!
