What are the pros and cons of living in Honduras?

Expats, digital nomads and retirees living in Honduras responded:

"Expats and digital nomads living in Honduras often appreciate the country's low cost of living, which allows them to stretch their budget further. They also enjoy the warm climate and the friendly people, who are known for their hospitality. Additionally, the country's natural beauty, with its lush jungles and stunning beaches, is a major draw for many expats. On the other hand, some expats and digital nomads may find the lack of infrastructure and the slow pace of life in Honduras to be a challenge. Additionally, the country's high crime rate can be a deterrent for some," remarked one expat in Honduras.

"We live in an area close to a National Park within 10 minutes walking distance , a small town near by with most everything one would need in shopping and close to a fairly large city, with an international airport.. Groceries are inexpensive , buses and taxis are good value, buses run frequently, taxis are everywhere, just get a price before getting in. Our water is potable, we drink from the tap, Rivers are crystal clear with most of the water coming down from the mountain Pico Bonito 8200 ft elevation. people are very friendly and willing to help with just about anything. Huge Pineapple fields are close by and local markets are easy to get to. Fresh produce is easily obtained. Dislikes, There is lots of garbage along the roadways," explained one expat living in La Ceiba.
