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.

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)
