Tegucigalpa - Post Report Question and Answers
What are the particular advantages of living in this city?
The climate - Jan 2024
The embassy community is just large enough to offer a variety of social activities, but not so big that you don't know anybody. Also, I haven't experienced a lot of gossiping and back chatter, but that could just be the people I've been able to surround myself with. The locals are friendly and want to be helpful. No daylight savings time, so we're either on Mountain time or Central time zone. - Aug 2023
Amazing weather, relatively good traffic (and short commutes), friendly and sociable people, great travel opportunities, and all the conveniences of living in U.S. (pricesmart, walmart, fiber-optic internet, etc.). Also, it is only a short trip to visit family in the U.S. - Oct 2019
Great weather, short commutes, US-style food and stores, lots of kid activities, great schools that will expose your kids to a foreign culture without feeling too alien. - May 2018
The weather (except burn season). - May 2018
Nothing really, just the weather and cheap domestic help. If you need something done - gardening, personal training, mechanic - there is someone that will do it cheap. - Apr 2018
Cheap domestic help. The movie theatres are very cheap and good as well. Not much more than that. - Jun 2016
- The weather is perfect. Better than Southern California. Very pleasant. - The people are friendly. Hondurans are very nice and much more culturally similar to Americans than the previous African or Indian posts we had. - You get the exotic parts of living abroad, like the food, jungle, beach... and the benefits of the USA, like same time zone, Costco, Chilis (etc), movie theaters, watching American football.... - Feb 2016
Weather is nice. - Aug 2015
The weather is nice in Tegucigalpa. Roatan, La Ceiba, and Tela in the north are fun, and one can find relatively cheap flights up to those places for weekend/holiday getaways. - Jul 2015
The climate is very nice. It's also possible to save some money here--if you don't travel much, as flights out of Tegucigalpa are very expensive. - Dec 2014

The weather is fantastic, and domestic help is very affordable. - Apr 2013
This has been one of my best tours ever! Close commutes to work/school/stores which is awesome. LOTS of tourism opportunities in country and in neighboring countries. Groceries are reasonable. Weather is almost great. Yes, you can save money unless you like to travel a lot. The U.S. Embassy has a good group of folks, and morale is good. - Jan 2012
