ABOUT US

Who is behind Broke-Backpacker.com?

I am a French Canadian, who currently lives in Brussels with my boyfriend. My first backpack trip goes back to  2016, and there were so many things I wish I knew before I started my journey. Since then I have lived in three different countries in Europe, once as an intern, then as an Aupair and now as a student.

Our Skills

Why do I travel?

For me, traveling is all about getting out of my comfort zone. It has taught me to be more open to the world and let myself sink in other cultures and it has allowed me to meet countless amazing and interesting people. We all know traveling can be pretty expensive, but that doesn’t mean you should do it. 


There are many ways to travel without breaking your piggy bank and live the best experience of your life. This blog is about sharing different things I have learned while backpacking and highlighting some of the best experiences I had through my traveling journey.

Broke-Backpacker.com is the go-to website for solo travelers or anyone who wishes to travel the world but doesn’t know where to start!
