California-based travel influencer Francesca Murray has a zest for life and a contagious smile, making her the ideal tour guide. Having launched her travel blog One Girl One World back in 2014, Murray has amassed an impressive following over the years, with some 50k fans on Instagram alone.
Fluent in French and conversational in Spanish, Murray is a proud Afro-Latina with Honduran Garifuna roots and has a solid audience across platforms—with the majority being millennial women from the United States.
“Life is a journey, and I’m excited to help you live yours out loud!” she writes on her website. “Be it finally embracing your natural curls, perfecting you skincare routine, or traveling solo for the first time—you’ll be sure to find the inspiration and resources you need right here.”
A passionate traveler, in an interview with Travel Coterie she admitted travel has enhanced who she already was deep inside. “It’s made me more confident and self-assured, allowed me to be more compassionate towards others and expanded my ability to look at the bigger picture in life,” said Murray.
“It’s also blessed me with the ability to speak multiple languages, which has changed my life for the better. I have some friends who don’t even speak English that I couldn’t have connected with if it weren’t for travel!”
With an urge to explore new cultures—whether that involves learning new languages or trying out new cuisines—Murray is just the kind of influencer we seek in our feed. Noteworthy posts include a guide to Planning the Perfect Girl’s Trip to Barbados and How to Get Paid to Teach English Abroad.
