Honduras is so beautiful. On my several bus rides, all I have seen is green nature, mountains and volcanoes (and of course lots of rubbish on the streets as in all Central American countries).

But still, my interest in the country and many positive reports from other backpackers and volunteers have encouraged me to visit the small country in Central America finally. After a little … Continue reading Week 8 – My first week in El Salvador
