How is life in Honduras?

I got asked by many people "how is life in Honduras"? If you are looking for information in the internet you will find a lot of articles about "security problems". Most writers do not recommend  to travel to Honduras because it might be too dangerous.

My personal experience is very different. Of course, Honduras is not that safe as Switzerland or other countries in Europe. However, it is not that dangerous as described in the internet. The biggest problem is the "narcotrafico"(drug traffic and dealing of arms). Other problems are the corruption and poverty of Honduran people.

If you would like to know how Honduras is, then I recommend you to stay some months with an Honduran host family in Honduras while volunteering. Through the daily contact with the local people you will learn more about their culture and their customs. Honduras is know for their hospitality!!!

SWHO.org is organizing volunteer opportunities in Honduras in different areas. More information on www.swho.org
