LIVING IN HONDURAS
Honduras is a country for dreamers, so living in Honduras can mean living out your dreams. Honduras is a place where Caribbean breezes lift ocean air through your windows, where the sunlight glints off the water at odd angles, and where the sound of waves lapping at the shore is just hypnotic enough to spirit away the dissonance of the 21st century.
If you seek a place to live where you can pursue your dreams, and do so in comfort and safety, then living in Honduras is the way to go. It is a country with everything to offer, from inexpensive land and low building costs to an economy ripe with good business opportunities. Honduras enjoys a stable government, and banking institutions with decades of experience behind them. It has a good infrastructure which is improving every day, excellent health care, and an intriguing multicultural society to be a part of.
Becoming a part of the society which you have adopted as your own is an important key to being happy wherever you live. The Honduran people make it easy to blend in so when you live in Honduras you truly feel part of the community. Friends will come your way through the unlikeliest of mundane daily activities. You will find shared interests with people at the garden nursery or the hardware store.
Respect is a key concept here in Honduras. It is customary here to call people by a title. It is a small thing, but an appreciated mark of respect that you come to appreciate when living in Honduras. It is also considered rude to begin any conversation without first having made a proper greeting and perhaps asking after the person’s family or how their weekend was. Children respect their elders here, wherever they meet them, and will stop and listen politely when spoken to. The bank has a special lineup for retired people, the handicapped, and pregnant women. Again, it’s a small thing, but when you live in Honduras you realize that it makes life so much more civil.
Slowing down will also keep you safe. As you live in Honduras you will notice a society with more visible economic strata than you would at home. If you will just stop to think before you do something: Am I respecting the rights of this individual? Is this how I would wish to be treated? Living in Honduras, you will find yourself becoming a respected member of your community, fitting in, and also being protected because you are part of it. Follow common sense, and treat people here as you would people at home, and you can’t go wrong.
Try new things. You will open a world of experiences, if you try new foods and activities. Learn a new language. Learning some Spanish, while not necessary, will certainly enhance your enjoyment of your time spent living in Honduras. In schools now, most children are being taught English, but there are still some older Honduran people with much to share, who are delightful to talk to and learn from. |
