How safe is Honduras?
Tegucigalpa
Tegucigalpa is not the safest city for solo travelers, especially as women. Try to always find locals who you can trust for any advice. You can be in the roads as long as there’s daylight, try to avoid them during the night. Always be wary and you should be safe!

La Ceiba is a city which I felt free to walk during the day with friends. At night when hanging out I didn't feel good to walk alone, it was ok if we were at least 3 and taking a trust taxi too but I wouldn't have been in all streets of La Ceiba.

Roatán, Solo travel
I stayed in an Air Bnb in West End. It was private, safe, and affordable. I went solo to scuba and it was awesome. The area had great night life. Also went to Gumbalimba Park which I had completely to myself because there were no cruise ships that day. I was able to eat vegetarian at several local restaurants. The people were incredibly kind. You meet travelers from all over the world. I felt unsafe only once when a man was catcalling me from his car. Overall it was an amazing experience.
