My latest read is The Appeal's May 22nd, 1897's paper. The piece on the left-end opens with a look at how the Mosquito Coast used to be one of the most talked-about regions in Central America. For centuries, Spain and England fought over it, with newspapers on both sides of the Atlantic treating it like a place full of conflict, beauty, and political drama. They explain how the territory eventually fell out of fashion, even though the land itself never lost its appeal. I'll s

The Appeal's 1897 paper on the Bay Islands of Honduras has quite a few stories. The following is another story I had yet to share from thatvery same paper. I've taken the time to write it out as it is read in the paper you can gaze upon, that which I have shared with you a few days ago. Old English is quite naturally a beautiful version of the language and it would sound much less enjoyable if I were to modify it. It reads as follows: For many years they formed part of Spain’

Our place names still carry the old British spellings: French Harbour, not French Harbor; oftentimes we use colour, favour, honour... all those words that hang on to the “u” the way our grandparents did.

Carrying on with the stories found about the Colony of the Bay Islands in The Appeal's May 22nd edition of 1897, here is how those names came about. To this day, 1897, England claims some rights over the islands in connection with her very questionable rights in Belize, based upon nothing but an ancient treaty with Spain, which simply gave

I’m thrilled to share that I was featured on the cover of the April 2025 edition of Caribella Magazine ! This feature was an opportunity to talk about my journey—not just as a content creator, but as someone dedicated to preserving and sharing the history, culture, and traditions of the Bay Islands of Honduras. What started as simple social media posts to answer friends’ questions about beautiful beaches grew into a lifelong project focused on celebrating the richness of the

I had the honor of participating as a guest speaker in the first edition of True Utila , a new annual event created to highlight and protect the heritage, culture, and natural beauty of the island. The gathering took place on Utila and was organized by Trey and Marichi, the owners of SafeSpot, who greeted us warmly from the moment we arrived. Their vision for True Utila is to create a space where history, culture, and conservation come together, and it was inspiring to see t

Journalism once again received well-deserved recognition during the third edition of the “Honduras es Así” Tourism Reporting Contest 2025, organized by the Honduran Institute of Tourism (IHT). This competition highlights the creativity, rigor, and dedication of those who showcase the country’s cultural, natural, and historical richness. The awards ceremony, held on Thursday, September 25, reaffirmed the importance of promoting Honduran tourism through both journalistic and di
