Blanco en Hondurasland, eh?

Roughly 51 days from now, I will be waiting at the bus stop (6pm) to go to Chicago (9pm), where my flight leaves the following morning (3am). Roughly 6 hours later, I will be landing roughly on the world's second smallest international runway in Tegucigalpa, Honduras (9:30am). This follows a layover in Guatemala, and precedes one more flight to my almost-final destination of La Ceiba, Honduras (1:30pm).

Nailing the locomotion modes trifecta for the third time this year, I will be taking the ferry to Utila, Honduras the following day. On this tiny bay island, I will be residing at and working for the Iguana Station conservation project. There, I hope to volunteer 4-6 weeks, and then tour northeastern Honduras for my remaining time there.

Why Honduras? Well, I didn't take a year off from school to park ranger, and after my time in Nicaragua, I have wanted to explore more of Central America. The bay islands are the safest part of Honduras, and Utila looks to have the right balance of charm and accessibility.


This will be my only update for a long time, but I hope to update at least once a week while I'm gone. I depart October 26th, and return December 21st.
