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.
  • Level 44. Californian by birth, European by choice.
  • Owner of two touring bicycles, zero cars, and not much else.
  • My life is an open book: money, love, children—it’s all on the table.

🧐 What I believe

I believe that a surprising number of young people don’t need school to become happy or successful adults: an idea I’ve explored through four books, various appearances, and 18 years of Unschool Adventures trips for teenagers.

I also believe that full-time servitude isn’t required for adults—that you can strike a magical balance of time, money, and purpose that lets you live richly today without neglecting tomorrow. That’s Dirtbag Rich.
