Then you are from Honduras. Don't make it difficult. People just want to know where you live. If they ask about you ethnic background tell them you are a person of many backgrounds.

You are from Honduras. Think about it like this. I live in Indiana, that is where I am from. My nationality is German, Irish, and English. I am from those decentants. But I am from Indiana.

you can tell people you are from Honduras because that's where you were born. or if you grew up in another place you can tell them that place is where you are from. as far as your ancestry, this makes up your nationality. it is not necessarily where you are from, especially if you have never been to those places. it is where your parents are from, but if your parents immigrated someplace else then perhaps their children are not from the same places they are... for instance... i am african american. but i've never been to africa. i am american. i tell people i am from america because it is where i was born and raised. but it is not my place of national origin or nationality.

You say where you were born. If they ask what Nationality you are then you can say you are a bit of all those places you just named that I can't remember.

I think when people ask "Where are you from?", they want an answer like, "I'm from Nashville Tennessee."
I don't think they are really interested in hearing about your genealogy.
That's like when you ask someone how they are doing and they begin regaling you with all their personal problems and ailments.

Your nationality is the country you were born and your Heritage/culture is that of your ancestors...

You're mixed, European and islander(?). But really most people don't need too much info.
