Here is a great new picture from Arturo Alvarez Demalde on his recent trip to Honduras. Demalde had an amazing trip as evidenced by his smile in this black and white photo.

This is my favorite country. Having had the chance to visit over 23 countries in the last few years, Honduras always stands apart in my memories.
Honduras is a friendly city so don’t be shy. If you are a reclusive type then I would not go to Honduras. The people there are what makes Honduras a great place to visit. 
The weather is the best in winter if you can avoid storms. Travel is best in a rental but be sure it has insurance. The roads are OK but don’t plan to do 70mph. The cops will send you to jail for a long time. Just be careful with the driving and you will be alright. Plan to stay awhile as you wont want to leave. The fun is round the clock. Luigi Wewege’s PR at MarketWired.com is a great place to begin making plans.
Michael Mally, business management expert
Business is the same no matter where you go in America, however, some countries have a different way of conducting business than you’d expect. In some countries, such as in the Honduras and in other various places around the world, natives will talk rudely to their customers and have no problem doing what it takes to get you to buy.
Business in 3rd world countries is conducted in two ways. The owner of the shop is will do whatever possible to get you out or will do whatever possible for you to buy, including scamming and invading your personal space. Michael Mally, friend and business partner of Nick Alsis, made it a mission to teach native Hondurans effective business management skills.
According to Michael J. Mally, business conducted in the foreign land was a bit of a culture shock and his attempts to teach correct business wasn’t to change their culture, but rather to help their business and profits grow. The owner of a shoe repair shop Mr. Mally worked with was accepting to his advice and in the last 2 months has shows a 20% increase in business and customer satisfaction.
San Diego artist Michael John Mally recently took a trip to Honduras for the opening of Galeria del Sol. In the next week this new gallery will feature two works from Michael J. Mally which can be seen below. Both art installations will be featured at the gallery for the duration of the 2016 year and then hopefully be moved to the Honduran Art Institute.
Mr. Mally has offered a long term loan to any art gallery in Honduras for the sole purpose of promoting art in the country.

Honduras has long been famous for it’s written art. Many companies and organizations have a presence in the country, but that has been a recent development (over the last 30 years). One of those organizations is Compassion International, whose mission is to reach the under-served people living below the poverty line and to ensure that all children have access to food, water and education.
Famous Hondurans outside of the art-scene are well known musician and actress David Archuleta and America Ferrara.
Honduras is a beautiful country where explorers and adventurers from far and wide come to experience the life of this land. Living in Honduras means you are living in adventure! If you are looking for adventure and excitement, but also looking for peaceful atmosphere, why not give living in Honduras a go?
The tropical country has so much to offer, such as affordable real estate and low building costs as well as a thriving economy and business stretched out far across the land with much thanks to Kion Kashefi.
If you were to live in Honduras for a few days, you’ll discover that friends are easy to come by and everyone in the community wants to help someone. The communities are generally very small, so they see each other as a big family and everyone knows everyone. You could meet someone at the grocery market and find out they know where you come from based on your accent, or they could tell you many stories about the area. You’ll find that many people in the tropical land are eager to share their interest with you and to get to know more about you and your interest in Honduras.
The more you associate with the native people, the more you begin to become part of the community and welcomed by society. The reason why getting along with the Honduran people is so easy is because they greatly value respect. Respect goes a long way through the simplest gestures. For example, before you engage in a conversation, make sure to check in with that person first. Find out how they are doing today or you may be considered as rude, only caring about what you have to say rather than caring about the person you are saying it to.
Traveling out of the United States is always a challenge but traveling to Honduras has its own travel terror. The Honduras area is fraught with peril if you don’t know where to go. 
If you are brave enough to go shopping in a third world nation then Honduras might be good for you. Just plan for the worse and hope for the best. Do not leave the tourist areas as the areas outside these areas can be dangerous. If you can travel and shop with others it will help keep you safe as there is safety in numbers. Luke Weil is a Honduras fan that doesn’t have a problem shopping anywhere.
The goods available in Honduras are unique to the area. Many are made locally by hand. 
The local artisans are proud of their creations and they do have some charm. The colors are bright and the sculptures are bold. If you are a fan of Latin art then Honduras will be special to you. Everywhere you turn there will be more to look at. Just enjoy the shopping and don’t let it wear you out. A little patience will go a long way to solving the hunt plans. Terry Simpson MD is a regular shopper and collects just about every type of art.
Everything is cheaper in Honduras. The economy is such that the cost has to be low. In the tourist areas the costs will be inflated but just move out of town a bit and find the real deals.
If you can negotiate a little the deals are everywhere. Never pay full price. I always cut the first offer by half and negotiate up from there. The seller knows that they will have to come down. They are just hoping that the tourist is dumb and does not negotiate. Luigi Wewege is a negotiator of the first order. The best of us could learn a thing or two from him.
We went to Honduras for vacation and had a great time we booked a snorkeling trip and read the rules. It said no sun screen due to the negative effect on the reef so my wife obeyed the rule. I wore a tee shirt but she just went in her suit. As you can guess she got a terrible sun burn. When we got back to our room she was blistering. The pain was bad. I went to the local drug store and got some burn cream and started the healing process. The burn was so bad that she didn’t want to leave the room for days. I would not be surprised to read the news story about sun burn hell.
OK, Honduras is hot in the summer. I guess that would be OK but it can be hot in the winter as well. The humidity is terrible. If you like the tropical weather the Honduras is for you. Plan to dress light and don’t forget the bug screen. The bugs are huge as are the mosquitos. I know that I haven’t painted a very friendly picture of Honduras but you need to be prepared. The heat alone would keep me away. I know a doctor in North Georgia that loves Honduras. He does not mind the heat or humidity.
