What’s it really like to live in Honduras?

Oct 15, 2024

Google San Pedro Sula, Honduras, if you haven’t already. What do you find? Articles and articles whose headlines read “San Pedro Sula, world’s most violent city”, “the “murder capital” of the world”, “grim reality of life in Honduras”. I can’t deny the truth that lies behind this. We see it everyday, in our newspapers, in local TV shows, in social media; it’s a sad reality in our country. But what is it that makes others want to highlight only the negative aspects of such a place? Poverty, corruption, gangs and drug circulation is all written in our books, in our history.

I had a mini version, with only refried beans and a bit of cheese; just enough to say I actually tasted the traditional food of the country, the one everyone asked me every day If I had already tried. Apparently you can’t leave Honduras without having one.
