When you're a guest at a Haitian family home they will give you presents even if they don't have money. They always did this with me. I would always cry when I had to leave.
Sharing is a way of life here...
Yeah! Haitians are allways friendly with foreigners but hate their own kind
@@edwigelacroix4184 pretty sure you are one of the "hate..."
Selfish to say that .
Learn how to share first
@@edwigelacroix4184 don't spread lies. Haitians are the least colorist west indian country, we have very strong national pride, we are always kind, respectful, we value education and hard work. We will always except any fellow haitian no matter where they are from or how knowledgeable they are on the culture. Tbh if a haitian learns that you are haitian, we automatically claim you as a friend
@@edwigelacroix4184 this is true, I am upset at everything in regards to the french, and how the island is unevenly divided, but thag is a good quality of ours, we are so forgiving, and people often take advantage of it
From Jamaica 🇯🇲 to Haiti 🇭🇹 peace and love to my Haitian brothers
Much LOVE BROTHER. ❤️❤️
Its been almost 20 years since I left Haïti and Everytime I see a video of my birth place I start crying 😢 Only because I know of how beautiful it is, the memories from when I was younger, Friends and Family I left behind . One day I will visit again and I don’t think I’m going to want to come back 🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹 Shoutout to my great great grandma Catherine Flon 💪🏼.
You are not related to Catherine Flon. Loll
I cried too my sister and I left over 30 years ago visited 4 times though
Catherine flon ?
Me to😭
makendy g 😂Lol
I get so jealous watching other cultures that eat food straight from the earth. It always seem more natural than what we get from grocery stores here with all the chemicals and preservatives that are added to it. Kudos for a great video that has made me begain to plan my own trip there.
Foooood is just sooo good in the island 😊😬
Yea i agree
you're not alone, I left Haiti 17 years ago and I can tell you that was the last time I had some good food, not to hate on the food here but ain't nothing like my grandmother food bro lord i need to go back home
Yeah after all the process that the food had been through there is nothing left from it than trash ♻️ sorry
you need to come to Haiti to see the positive side there's people not really show you the positive side there's way more positive side in Haiti. You will love it
In Haiti "white"/"blan" is not as much skin color as it is foreigner. If you're not Haitian, you're a "blan"
Right. Lolll. My grandma would always say to me "Sa blan a di la?"
and don't really care about your skin color but if you're respectful to them and open minded
So true
that's so true.
Wow I never though it was spelled like that in my family we say it kinda like bluh so I though it mad spelled like that lol
You have respect for them no matter how they look like. And the true live is love for each other. I love my country HAITI. JE SUIS HAITIENNE,I am Haitien, yo soy haitiano.
You have a truly beautiful country with some really amazing and kind people!

@@vagabon419 Why all the hate. All white people are not bad, just like all black people are not bad. We are all the same under the skin. Love from Michigan U S
What do you mean by “ you have respect for them no matter how they look like” ? Claiming yourself as Haitian and you said that! The guy is no superior than these people, f *** his skin color and @ Lucy Jean it’s people like you that cause Haiti is so miserable like it is today. 😡😡😡
@@sheiloskyG Lucy Jean tf u mean no matter how they look like 🙄
I love being half Haitian they are very hard workers they also put a lot of work into cooking they have the best food cuisine 😍 and the language is beautiful I know bits of creole just waiting to get up and go visit family
I’m Cuban and i grew up exactly like that , now my life it’s different but long Soo much for just the beauty and simplicity of life and the goodness and love of people ❤️❤️❤️
I'm haitian and i'm from Port-au-prince. I mean to go to Cuba next year after the covid
I’ve been on short term mission trips to Haiti for the past 4 years, and I’m currently in the states getting my nursing license so I can go back to Haiti with medicine without borders. Seeing videos like this make me tear up and remember why I’m working so hard for my degree. Thank you for taking an interest in the Haitian people and showing how they really live, as Opposed to how the media likes to portray them. This video was awesome, thanks for sharing this with the world:)
Thank you for these video Im not from Haiti but love people who take the time to show how normal people is in haiti and we should go and help the country by visiting and truss me they have beautiful places is a Caribbean country

Im Haitian and i miss my country so much ❤ love you haiti
You reminded of my home and I love you for that. Your adventure was beautiful. If u decide to go to Cameroon 1 day, let me know 🙏🏽
Being Haitian I came to the states young and always felt like i left a such a big part of my culture behind. Thank you for making this video. Thank you for showing Haiti for what it truly is. Thank you for being kind to our land and our people. I think i speak for all of us when i say you’re always welcome in Haiti 🇭🇹 L’UNION FAIT LA FORCE. HAITI CHERI🇭🇹💙❤️
this made me incredibly emotional its been at least 10 years since i was last home and this video made me feel as if i was there...thank you.
Whoa! Thank you for taking us on this amazing experience and connection 🙂. What a privilege it is to be welcomed into the community. Amazing moments!🙂
It was a pretty special experience. I'm glad you liked the video Tim! Thanks for following along!
We Haitians are actually very welcoming 😀. We only require respect 😀. In Haiti, we even have a "slogan" that says: we treat our visitors/guests like they are Royalty 😀. A Haitian slogan: "Chez nous les visiteurs sont Rois" 😀.
Thank you for your comment, Mr. Lee, we appreciate it 😀.
So glad you had a great experience in my country, Haïti which I love so dearly 🇭🇹✌🇭🇹👍
Why I am crying watching your video....true people...thank u for this video..Godbless u
I'm so happy to hear that Jegz! I'm glad you found something special in it for you! A truly incredible experience.
God Bless you right back
Beautiful, reminds me of the campo in DR. I would love to see the other side of the island one day! 💕🇩🇴🇭🇹
VivaBella by Xtina come visit you can stay with me I’ll show you around
VivaBella by Xtina, you should my afro dominicana sister.i'm waiting.
Yes because its right next door!🤕🤕🤕✌
Ayyye, Neighbor!!!! Much luv.
Your not welcome
Living in the mountains in Ayiti is beautiful! some homes like my parents was, can be very beautiful. He could make that place looking great for his grand parents.
So beautiful my dear best time of my life. I have nostalgia
They gave gifts of corn, avocado and cacao like the Mayans.
The Haitian four father Dessaline did refer to the Haitian people as "indigenous" and his army as "army of Incas" so that's not a stretch. Haitians started being referred to as mainly African in the 1950s after the US occupation
@@2gogols lies. A lot of Haitian songs will say where we come from. Our forefathers we're proud of being African. We have songs talking about traditional African gods and empires like the Dahomey. We still eat foufou in some parts and all of us eat acra. We have gari.
@@marginelouis6674 how am I lying. Go look up what Dessaline said in his declaration and apologize for calling me a liar. Some came from Africa but many have always been in the islands, many where deported from Peru Mexico and north America. So just cause some Africans came mean all them other ppl ain't exist? Better think again. And just to piss u off some more the Spanish explore Payne saw Indians making zombie powder. And this was before they imported africans Have a nice day.
@@marginelouis6674 and I'm Haitian I ain't ever eat no damn Gari foofoo or any other of them dishes you mentioned, neither have my parents or cousins who are still in Haiti! It's zaboka, diri, pwa, maiz (Haitian word for corn which is WHAT THE INDIANS CALLED IT AS WELL) and Kasava (another indigenous food) all day.
@@2gogols in Haiti they call Foofoo and gari Tomtom. Just because your family doesn't eat it in Haiti or in the states doesny mean other regions do not. Tomtom is made with Fruitbread plant.
Omg. This reminds me so much of my grandma house. So different yet so relaxing. I miss there so much.
Me too 😢
This video made me very emotional 😭 thank you for this 🙏🏽
Thanks for sharing all these great images of rural Haiti.
You were fortunate to see something so special.
I love this. The only thing I may add is that Haiti is a much larger country and you only visited a small region in Haiti.
Blessings from Santiago, RD. to our next door neighbor.🙏(great video)
Manny A de lo mío 💪🏻 From Higuey to our neighbors in Haiti
We own the island yes ayiti
que bueno,,,,,,,,,,,,,,toparse con dominicano que no desprecian a sus vecinos,cada dia hay menos............
Blessing to our beautiful island hopefully we can work out a peace treaty
@@synsious agree 💯
You’re an awesome human being.
Much respect for you. Thank you for being so human. The world needs more pleople like you.
As a Dominican, I do not know how its like to live in Haiti, despite both countries share an island, your video show me that we share more than the island, we have similarities on how some dominican live in our countryside.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts Carlos! I'm glad you liked the video!
U buggin nigga, the people in the dominican campo (countryside) are not as poor as the people in the countryside of haiti... plus they do that voodoo shit and eat people over there
@@yeseniacruz9943 Thats the way Donald Trump talk about you people while throwing toilet paper at your face.
PRxRD seremos1nacion dude we don’t effin eat people lol and the everyone does voudou even your Puerto Rican peeps. Majority are in the Caribbean and South America. Voodooism is spirituality not what the media is making it out to be. Do your research before shouting none sense smh.
Teach them to build the house by using stone as well since the source is just around them better.
This is such a beautiful video. Thank you for taking us along with you. ❤
Love my country especially the country side so beautiful can’t wait to go back home 🏡 🇭🇹
I miss my country so much, thank you for this 😢🤗
I am so thrilled to seeing this young man enjoying Haiti!This country I was born in has made me realize my worth as a strong,gracious and beautiful woman I am today🙏🏽God bless Ayiti 🇭🇹
In any country, hill folks are so kind, generous, respectful, & gr8 host. Haiti is 1 PERFECT example.
I'm Dominican and God bless Haiti .
Kelvin Davis 🙏🏾🇩🇴 its sad, if only we could all get along more often. God bless Hispañiola in whole
@@elmayimbe6654 Dominican we the people from Haiti don't believe what people say about Dominican . Is all about immigration. God bless you always
Same here we were once one
God bless you bro
I'm Dominican too and I love Haitians and would love to visit them one day
The real "moun Mon"!!
wow...look Haiti is not a treeless desert....if you listen to the bullshit you'd think it was not just as Beautiful as the DR, and you'd be dead wrong. It's got more coast line than the DR.
Right and I am too a Real Moun mon I am a Haitian Payizan would never trade that for anything in this world. Life in the southern village of Haiti is engraved in my memore the best of my life yet I live in US for past 30 years
Hey how about the genuine, true and real Haitians free of malice saturated with moral values!
Just subscribe I love you man, u show all good thing we have in Haiti mwen rinmin w wap montre bon bagaye ki gin nan peyim .🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹💕💕💕💕 Pennsylvania.
I am Haïtien . respect for you my brother
Thank you 🙏🏽,, that’s all i can say and trust me what you did really means a lot for me as a filmmaker and Haitian too.
Haiti is so beautiful!! Hope to visit it one day. Much love from Colombia❤
I am Haitian but I have never been there and after seeing this video it really does show how there is a lot of poverty and Haiti is just not yet on it's feet yet. My mother is always sending money there and old but useful stuff there and by doing that she is one out of lots trying to help our home get back on it's feet again. Soon everything will work out
I'm literally crying and touched by this. Thank you for sharing this experience! 😊😊😊😊
I am out of Word Thanks my Brother from an other Mother "Merci Beaucoup Mon Frere"
kesler charles, ayissien pareille ou se' satan,mais Pou yon simple video blan se frere'w.ban tret, nou rayi moun ki sanble' act nou.
zam nou bien clere' pare' Pou prop frere pa nou
Man i want to thank you i live in haiti and i love it i heard alot of rumors about country and therefore they are alot of people that are afraid to come visit thank you for sharing your experience cause it might change their mindset
I just wanted to say THANK YOU for this video. The news exploits and makes my country seem like it’s such a horrible place but our country is so rich and beautiful!
Brought tears to my eyes and a joy in my heart same time. Thanks for this upload
What a blessing to be able to experience this. We take so much for granted here in Canada...running water, flushing toilets, grocery stores...These people are living fully. Being one with their surroundings and blending into it rather than hacking out a space and leaving a scar. So beautiful!
I couldn't stop crying. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful video. Haiti is always in my ❤. I am so happy you got to experience the love, the beauty of this hidden gem. Love and blessings to you
Man I can recognize that basin blue part from jacmel thx for sharing this man 🇭🇹🇭🇹
I love this video you do a really amazing job of sharing a world most of us wouldn't see and doing so with dignity and respect.
Wooooooow!!! Thanks for sharing. I watch thousand ms of videos on CZcams and this is only the maybe 3rd time I have ever commented on a video. Well done in sooo many ways. After watching it makes me want to not only visit Haiti but to also conquer any fear that pops in my thoughts. I was fearful for you while watching it. And to see you travel to hours to stay with a family you don’t know in the woods speaks volumes. Thank you for sharing and being so brave. What a wonderful experience
Thanks for sharing this beautiful video about my home country. It truly shows that you had a great time there and that makes me glad. I appreciate your kindness towards my country and people. God bless.
I’m feeling nostalgic and homesick in the middle of the night and wanted to remember home and this positively highlighted our culture. Very resilient and selfless people. I’m glad you enjoyed your stay
This video was absolutely wonderful to watch. I like the fact that you didn't try to change them but enjoyed their peaceful lives. I will be following your channel from now on.
Thank you for representing my country in a natural humanistic light..loved it
Wow, you are blessed. I love my vacations so much more when they turn into this. Connecting with the locals, it just doesn't get any better than that. Sending wishes for more beautiful tomorrows and adventures for you!
One of the best things I've seen on CZcams. Thank you.
LOVED this! Way to explore one of the many sides of Haiti with love! Keep up the good work!
Dude...this was such a beautiful video. I got a little teary-eyed. Thanks so much for capturing and sharing.
Teary eyed? Foh bitch boy.
Beautiful, thank you for sharing the beauty of our land and now you're a part of it. We're simply about love, that's it.
Thank you💋
"Why not now" :) wow so beautiful thanks for sharing
Hi am hatian and l was born there and now in 2019 people are coming to our life I hope you like it
I had a very similar experience going to Haiti for the first time. Definitely a memorable experience that I wouldn’t trade.
Im filipina and i would love to do this in every country! I wanna go to haiti
Reminds me of my childhood in Haiti. Thank you for this!
I'm so amazed by this video. So refreshing
From Philippines! Nice and touching !
I'm Haitian and watching this video makes me so happy!!
What a powerful experience! Those words about listening are true for me too!
Wow 😭😭😭😭😭😭 I guess there's so much more to see!!! A lot who are actually in need and beauty yo see. That was so beautiful!!! God bless that family and thanks for sharing your experience. XO
Such a wonderful experience for this fellow man. It was also such warm welcome from the Haitian people. I love that.
Thank you for visiting and showing pure love to our country.
Thank you so much for sharing this! That is awesome!
Thanks for showing this positive side of Haiti
Wonderful inspiring story.
"No one is really ever ready to do anything" or its never the right, perfect time. Couldn't agree more. I really liked what you said about being in the moment and recognizing you won't ever have an exact moment again and essentially saying to yourself this is a special moment. Have you tried this many times? What I mean is..saying this to yourself or to others and slowing down life for just that moment to celebrate or even apperciate. The reason i ask is its the most basic concept but yet the most under practiced.
Pure gold reminder and one that I needed to hear again and will practice. Thank you you made me smile.
I totally agree with you. I have a hard time stepping out of a moment and just appreciating it sometimes. But there is a balance there for sure.
Awesome Video ! Thanks for sharing this incredible story :) Love your Storytelling Style !
Thank you! I'm glad you like it, I'll try more videos in this style of storytelling. I liked this one too. Thanks!
Thank for sharing this amazing experience I miss Haiti so much!
I really appreciate this vlog thank you ..
I’ve been traveling to countries for the past 4 years and Haiti is next is on my list .
Thank you ❤️
Just came back to Haiti... As a Haitian diaspora i must say i was so grateful to experience life in andeyò, which is the provinces or country area of Haiti. I rode the moto, which is the main transportation of the locals there. I went onto the mountains in Karate mountains, are fritay listened to raboday music and went to Makari to truly experience the destitute lifestyle in forever grateful and humble
Wow! What an amazing experience and some pretty deep points to think about. As always, thanks for taking us along.
Thank you! This experience really was very special for me, I wanted to tell it from my point of view. I'm really glad you liked it!
May God bless you for that kind gestures this makes you to see the world different and takes less things for granted and the radio has change their lives for ever. Keep it up and very well to you.
Beautiful video and words. Exploring other parts of the world and ways of living make you really appreciate what we have and realize that we don't need that much to be happy. We should be grateful for every day and the moment we live.
I want to live like this in nature, a simple life.
Thanks for promoting the beauty of my country! This almost made me cry!
Okay! I cried!
I loveeeee this video. Thanks for showing a part of Haiti that few people know
Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
Thank you for showing the beauty of my country.
God , I have never heard about this amazing man for years and one of his vidéos filmed in Haïti was deleted from his youTube chanel... Please say something if you're still alive,me and my Husband are great fans WE are praying for you and miss you brother.
I’m so blessed and grateful for were me and my family came from ,god will bless us all we have to do is pray for are country 🇭🇹❤️🙏🏾
Thank you for sharing this wonderful video!
Just came across this channel tonight and glad I did. I have been on a few medical missions to Haiti and really relate to this.
These people are so graceful and kind
Thank you for sharing this video. I'm proud to be Haitian and I hope one day I can experience something like this. 🇭🇹 ❤
A richest place with God blessings but the government are too danm to know how to develop such beautiful Country. Haiti is too rich with resources to be so poor..
Very and very sad!!
It doesnt need to be develop, they are rich with the resources around them. Let nature be, and be happy with it, they are in their natural habitat, who told them that they were not happy.
prenord Ben Henry 👍🏻👍🏻 very well said
Pamela Etienne they cant because France and the United States steak Haiti’s resources and gold
Steal*
That's my dads country. I even lived over there for about three years. The BEST times of my life. I miss visiting there so much.d
You're one in a million thanks for this video❣JACMEL this is where my grandfather came from .
Respect for being so humble.
This video made my eyes teary because we take everything for granted in USA
Glam Chick, you mean the overwhelming stress you're dealing with.
Your video is everything all I ever wanted to see from Haiti 🇭🇹
