A few months ago, I wrote about a woman named Blue Abele. After attending IL’s first Import-Export conference, Blue created a website to sell her craft finds. (She’d previously sold to friends and at craft shows.) In the first week the website was up, she made $3,000 worth of sales.

Just 20 minutes from the center of Tegucigalpa (the capital city of Honduras), lies the tranquility of one of the most desirable places to live in Central America. Here, you can enjoy hiking trails with exercise stations, tennis, basketball, mini-soccer, volleyball, swimming, and golf.

Good afternoon from our first Live and Invest in Honduras conference. We are spending time with 38 attendees who have traveled here from diverse locations–Hawaii, Tennessee, Colorado, France, and even South Korea–to hear from an impressive group of business-people and expats from different parts of Honduras. As the speakers introduced themselves to the group, the proceedings were recorded by Channel 7 television and one of the local radio stations.

In Honduras you can find lush vegetation and tropical flowers…waterfalls and natural pools…wild birds and some of the world’s largest butterflies… all just 10 minutes from La Ceiba, the third largest city in Honduras, and 10 minutes from white sand beaches.

Retirement Caribbean-style isn’t all dolphin watching, beachcombing, and gazing out to sea. If you need to make a living to help make your new life overseas, Honduras has opportunity aplenty.
