Hello hello! My name is Blake and I live here in San Francisco. I'm on the lookout for inspiring experiences off the beaten path and the people who can help me find them.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm an avid cinephile, amateur chef, and music buff!

When it comes to movies, I'm as at home discussing Hitchcock as I am with Pixar. Some of my favorite directors include Spielberg, Nolan, Anderson, Miyazaki, Zemeckis, and Hughes.

When it comes to music, I'm always looking for new albums. Name that tune is my lifeblood although I'm not always the best singer. I consider myself an amateur musician and tend to travel with a ukulele. I love to play in spare time and teach myself (and others) new songs! Music recommendations are always welcome!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I recently summitted the Middle Teton outside of Jackson, WY. As someone who's never mountaineered before and who's afraid of heights, it was invigorating to say the least!

Teach, Learn, Share

What I have to share:
-A cursory knowledge of a good number of things
-A self-deprecating sense of humor
-Stories from over 10,000 miles of road tripping
-I can teach you how to play the ukulele!
