In reply to DS. It's one thing to visit a country as a tourist and it's another to live there and try and make a living to support your family. The reality is that Haiti's economy is still struggling and it's challenging to work one's way out of poverty, especially as there is such a large socio-economic divide and corruption is still a big problem. That said, there are many things that Haitians have to be proud of in their country and its history and culture. It is a fascinating place.

You paint a great picture of Haiti. I leaves me to wonder why exactly are so many trying to escape. Yes poverty, I realize that, but it seems to me that their own countrymen need to see it through your eyes and fight for their beautiful country and not flee illegally to their neighbouring country or other countries. It seems to me from reading your article, there’s a lot worth fighting for!

Hey Paula!

I am interested in your blog about Haiti as I am interested in going there for a week in possibly a few months. I am wondering how safe it is and what there is to do. Any info is a big help thanks!

Hi George,
Sounds like a great trip you have coming up! I would suggest trying to arrange transport through the hotel you are staying at in Cotes des Arcadins. It’s likely that they have a shuttle that goes between PAP and the hotel or can book a car and driver in advance for you. Otherwise, you could try Tour Haiti as they offer transportation as one of their main services: https://www.facebook.com/TourHaiti/

We know the owner of this agency as he was our guide when we were in Haiti. The company is very trustworthy.

Enjoy your trip!

Hi,

I’ll be traveling to Haiti in July. It was a spur of the moment decision and everything was bought and booked; however, I am having a hard time trying to find travel arrangements. Any tips? I’ll be going from PAP Airport to Cotes Des Arcadins the first three nights.

Thank you in advance,

George P.
