ABOUT ME

I'm Blake, a 28 year old poet, novelist, filmmaker and world traveller. I´m a seeker keen on obtaining inspiration for my artistry through new experiences. I just returned from a four month trip through Europe during which I discovered couch surfing, never had I experienced such hospitality, now that I'm back I'd like to return the favor.

PHILOSOPHY

Do unto others as... you know the rest. I don´t fit into any one category so I went and invented my own; {Existential Hedonism}
