Melissa is an entrepreneur who left her job in Canada in 2014. She currently runs A Broken Backpack and is a freelance SEO writer. She shares our thoughts that the conventional life isn’t the only path.

I’m Melissa Giroux, a Canadian nomad. I’ve been on the road since 2014 and became a digital nomad in 2015. I’m currently based in Bansko, Bulgaria, since the end of 2020. Over the years, I lived in Australia, United Kingdom, Indonesia, Thailand, and Bulgaria. I also traveled to Southeast Asia and Europe. I own multiple blogs, and I work as an SEO consultant. My two main projects are A Broken Backpack (a long-term travel blog) and Nomad Life 101 (everything about working online).
