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. Currently riding a bike through North America to visit friends and family. Back to Europe in October!

Right now I’m sharing my favorite group connection games online.

My newest book, Dirtbag Rich, is available everywhere.

🧐 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 necessarily required for adults: it’s possible to strike a magical balance of time, money, and purpose that lets you live richly today without neglecting tomorrow. (See: Dirtbag Rich)
