8 Things Honduras Is Best Known For

1. Baleadas

No other country has this mix of flour tortilla, beans, egg, sausage, platains and hot sauce.

2. Utila

Utila is a very small island, only around 17 square miles, located about 25 miles off of Honduras’s Caribbean coast. It is best known for its diving and of course... Dr. John Mckay.

3. Copan Ruinas

"The town of Copán Ruinas, often simply called Copán, is a beautiful place, paved with cobblestones and lined with white adobe buildings with red-tiled roofs. It's also one of the most charming and traveler-oriented places in Honduras, with a friendly local population, widely spoken English and some great hotels and restaurants. Many people come here just to see the famous nearby Maya ruins, but with plenty of other attractions in the town and nearby, there's reason enough to linger."

4. Pollo Chuco

When ever you visit Honduras, you can't leave home without tasting the famously "Pollo Chuco" , fried chicken, with fried green slices and cabbage and "tajadas" with a special sauce you won't be able to resist!

5. Valle De Angeles and Santa Lucia

Pictures speak for itself

6. BEER

Part of going to any country is trying their local specialties and beverages. For me, that means beer. Honduran is well known for this and believe me, you won't regret the hangover after a couple of Barenas.

7. Roatan

"Surrounded by the second largest coral reef in the world, the island is a popular spot amongst divers. Each week charter flights bring in groups from Canada and Italy, amongst many other countries, to enjoy the turquoise blue warm waters of the Caribbean which is home to diverse marine fauna and flora.

The entire 33-mile island is surrounded by a shallow reef, with several diving spots offering a spectacular view of thousands of marine creatures for both experienced and novice divers. The reefs begin in as little as 20 to 40 feet with delightful drop offs up to 100+ feet. The pristine dive sites offer many drop offs, canyons and the Caribbean’s largest variety of coral and sponges. Locals and visitors who dive here say it’s the most relaxing and therapeutic thing to do. Being deep under the sea calms you down, regulates your breathing and transports you into a different world."

8. Honduran Slang and Sayings

"Que pedos MAJE?"

"Vamos a pijinear"

"Que buena esta"

"Aja y el culito donde lo dejaste?"

"Pija, pijin, pijinear, pijineemos"

"Vamos a CDP"

"Me vale pija, me voy a la pija"

"Charamuscas"

"Que hartada vo"

"Mamada"

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
