Dealing with homesickness in Honduras

Hello everyone,

Being an expat in Honduras can turn out to be a wonderful human, social or professional adventure... with potential moments of nostalgia and homesickness along the way.

What are your personal tips to prevent homesickness?

How do you deal with such feelings?

Are there shops or stores offering products from your home country in Honduras? Or maybe venues with music and ambiance from your homeland?

Thanks for sharing your experience,

Priscilla

Homesickness is a matter of time and the personality of the individual. The first two years was extremely difficult for me. Missing family, friends, autumn colors, football and the Holiday Season. Some people can get over these things and others cannot. I can remember someone saying that they could not wait to get home and drink the water. Honduras is much different now than it was, so there are many establishments that cater to Americans/Canadians. Advice is to pick up a new hobby. When you feel low get busy on that new hobby! Happy trails!
