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, kids—it’s all on the table.

🧐 What I believe

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

I also believe that full-time servitude isn’t necessarily 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.
