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"

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
