Long bio
Katie Blake, PhD is a social and cultural psychologist, travel consultant, writer, and founder based in the US. Holding a PhD in social and cultural psychology and having taught college-level psychology for nearly two decades, Dr. Blake has spent her career studying how culture, place, and identity intersect — and how that intersection shapes the way people move through the world.
Her work spans three interconnected areas. As a travel consultant, she specializes in psychology-informed, bespoke travel planning for individuals, and partners with brands to bring that same lens to their travel offerings. As the editor and publisher of Psychologie — comprising The Journal of Travel Psychology™ and Field Notes — she publishes long-form research-backed essays on the science of travel and analogue life. And as the founder of The Postcard Société, she has created a curated correspondence box designed to help people build analogue connection practices that actually last.
Dr. Blake is also a certified master's-level yoga and meditation instructor, and is available for media interviews, podcast appearances, brand collaborations, and speaking engagements.
