Let me enlighten you all on something... Port-au-Prince is no different than visiting a city in the United States. Visiting other places in Haiti is like visiting small towns or the countryside in the US. I have been to Somalia, and people in the country are just as nice as anyone you would ever meet.

I spent a year and a half in Haiti. I found that the people are all hard working , caring people. Once outside of Port au Prince you will find a different world. The true Haiti.

I almost missed your video because I was traveling back from Cancun but thank God it popped up and I have a whole lot to say about Haiti. I have been traveling there for the past 40 years. There has always been political unrest in Haiti but I see now it has gotten crazy. I was in Port-au-Prince two years ago and it wasn’t like that. You guys are troopers though, I’m glad you got to see some of the beautiful parts. Looking forward to part two! And glad you’re alive to share the story. What were you thinking?? LOL❤️👍✈️
Wow Diane, that’s so cool that you’ve been going there continuously! Pretty badass! Would love to learn more about what you’ve done there. Part two will focus much more on the beautiful sides🙏✨
Don’t worry Diane, this is just a vice news type propaganda video. Unfortunately, the fight for social equity is still ongoing in Haïti; I hope one day they get the social democratic gouvernement they’ve been fighting 40 years for, they deserve. It’s not worst than it was, and isn’t any better. This video is just an insulting misleading montage makings lots of insulting sensational claims with no primary sources back them up. Haïti has a long way to go, but downgrading videos like this hurts more than it helps. It contributes to misleading stereotypes that dismiss protesting Haïtians social awareness and patriotic revolt for social equality in Haïti. I call this video a terrorizing attack on Haïti and it’s people struggle fair political representation. For gay people, I find them military in diversity exploration. Like what do you expect during a national protest 🙄 . Their white superiority complex just fell out their gay card 🙄🙄🙄. You seem like a great person Diane, don’t get involved with these monsters.
I’ll just say that I’ve been to Haiti and spent a week there traveling throughout the country. My trip was part vacation, part volunteer work. There wasn’t a single moment where I was frightened or afraid. I’ve felt more in danger when in Israel than when I was in Haiti.

My name is Kevin, I’ve bin to Haiti 16 times with a charity I help run. Serge started as a paid guide, but quickly became my Haitian Brother, you were extremely lucky to have found him, and yes idiots for going at this point in time. We had to cancel last years trip, this years trip, and nexts years questionable. I look forward to your part #2
Living in Miami, we hear about Haiti daily. Personally I would fly to Santo Domingo, then take a commuter airline to Cap Hattian, then another flight to Port au Prince, then directly back to Santiago or Santo Domingo.
This video is the equivalent of someone going to the worse part of the US then start making vlogs about how scary and dangerous the US is. As if that ONE bad city Is a reflection of the WHOLE country🤦🏾♂️
My trip to haiti was great yes there’s a lot of property and stuff going on with the government but it’s a Beautiful country and I will definitely be going back.
Guys a mother's only daughter went to Haiti to visit a sick relative on the verge of death and everyone told her not go and she went anyway and was kidnapped and never heard from again and odds are she's dead. When her mother found out she suffered a heart attack and later passed. Guys this was mistake and yawl need to go home ASAP.
I stayed in the Plaza Hotel myself when I traveled to Haiti. These guys failed to tell you about the SMELL of Haiti. They burn garbage every evening in PaP. The garbage is everything from paper, old electronics, mattresses, car batteries to medical waste. There’s a smoky stench in the air.
I was there in 2016 during a “relatively “ calm period politically. I visited the mt top restaurant you were at in this video. 😊 My most memorable thing was working along side our translator painting black boards at a private school my group visited. He was about 20 had graduated hs again all odds and launching a successful career as a translator for Village of Hope. Gave me a new definition of what success looks like and totally erased any pre existing prejudices I held about coming from poverty somehow making a person less.
You guys should be thankful for the "good life" you have. Haiti is a developing country so don't expect to travel there and find everything in order. Good luck in your next travel!
I am a Haitian American but have never been to Haiti because my parents say it’s to dangerous. I really hope I can one day in particular my dads home village. It’s called Casale or cazale
I was born and raised in Haiti, currently living in the US. It saddens me to hear that too many Haitians descent cant discover where they are from due to the instability of the country. As the first black republic in the world, this is a shame to be in such situation. Haiti is too rich to be a poor country. We have not only the landscape but the history to be a top destination in the Caribbean & the world. I am 25 years old, and I have yet to explore my country. I hope in my lifetime I can see a prosperous Haiti.
@@thefamous1716 It's even more sad if ur a 🇭🇹 with ambiguous features! They really don't like that...it's sad because the remaining 🇭🇹's that aren't "black" have made it all these years because they participated in the revolution,but they're so backwards in their thinking that they still c every last one as a threat!! I should be able to show my kids where they're truly from.Its like you have a home but ur not welcomed there! 🤣
I have been to Haiti 7 times, even with my young children..I feel safer in Haiti than in many parts of the US. It's very poor, so don't go there looking for a vacation..go there to change your heart.
Totally agree. Portland, San Francisco, New York, Chicago, Detroit, all these places run by democrats are incredibly dangerous and dirty. They are worse than Haiti for sure.
Words written for me to read...thank you...many time I sit in my house and only know what I read about that country....its refreshing to read words to slap some sense into me
Many parts of the Caribbean are « very poor » have you even truly seen the country? What do you identify as really poor » parts where tourist normally visit aren’t that poor.
I so much appreciate your profound time to help the needy in Haiti. Haitians are our long gone brethren of Igbo origin. Keep up the good work and May God Almighty enrich your programs. I also watch your distribution of food items to the core needy in Colombia, Venezuela, Haiti and many other Latino needy people. Keep hope alive. May Almighty keep you self and continue helping and putting smiles of the faces of the real people that need help.
My family is actually from Haiti and that restaurant is. It to far away from my house ☺️ I know it must of been scary but thank you for giving Haiti a chance it’s truly a Beautiful place. Just have been miss lead and taken advantage for a long time
As a haitian born in France, even my mom would be against the project to go in Haiti now. It is a little complicated at the time. So i salute your courage and your will to discover this country! Thanks you very much guys! I will follow you soon by the way once Macron removed the curfew.
Any sensible tourist would not visit the town center of any country where there is civil unrest but would opt to go to the more laid- back countryside and tourist resort areas.
My parents are from Dominican Republic and i absolutely love that you traveled to Haiti. I definitely want to visit but with a 7 year old it might not be the best decision at the moment.

@@powerfighter2554 they dont do enuff, it seems like they forget about haiti when they get to USA... And whenever they travel for vacation they go to DR over haiti
They were telling us to “take back our president” (several foreign powers, most notably the US and Canada, seem to be keeping the current president in power, so when they saw foreigners they likely took out their frustration on us).
Right now people are very pissed at international backers like the UN, OAS, USA who are supporting Jovenel Moise. There is also the CORE group of countries and BINUH office who are basically ruling the country de facto. They probably assumed they were Americans.
I am a US citizen and have been twice and I love the beautiful country of Haiti, it’s sad the lack of government and resources for the people. The only part of the capital I have seen is to and from the airport…..LOL. You would think the capital would be the safest place. Anyway, maybe one day I will be able to venture to those parts. I was actually planned to be there this past Saturday. Prayers to the President wife and family and the people of Haiti. Hopefully this new generation will return and stand up for Haiti.
I'm so excited for Part 2 of your Haiti trip... The insecurity combined with the beauty and unique heritage reminds me of my travels in northeastern India a decade ago (P.S. the region is at peace now, but a decade ago, it was scary)
Always remember to not go into politics, cause you wouldn’t understand the greed of an opposition and what they would do. Every President would want to do good for their country, just like Christ would love to see good for humanity. God bless you guys! I’m changing back to a like!

@@deechallenge1323 because they see people as people, are welcoming, a bit naïve in some aspects, are forgiving people, and see no wrong in white peoples before they are wrong.

Serge, the tour guide in the video who lives and grew up there stated it was a mixture of both Roman Catholic and Vodou. My grandfather was Haitian, and he always said the same thing. I have never been to Haiti, but would love to see the Citadel one day.

Let me just put this out of here: do you really think Haití is only port au prince? Haiti is the size of MA if i remember correctly. Yeah it’s sad that u experienced some traumatic moments well, it’s not like that only happens in Haiti. I hate when u do that. Situation in Haiti is not the greatest, is not the worst either. I think you should change the title because it’s bad propaganda and Haiti has so many nice places to visit. Please stop the BS. Haiti has so much to offer to the world! Thanks for visiting anyways. PS.- if it’s only to grow the bad propaganda about Haiti, just don’t go but if instead, you want to say what the world doesn’t know about Haiti, and make them see three natural beauty of this place, please do that.
That would have been my comment as well a few years ago, but now we got a humanitarian crisis going on there. It’s a fact that no one is safe in Haiti currently. We need to do better, fast. ❤️🇭🇹
Awesome video! If you are looking for an easy but beautiful country to visit right now, try Saint Lucia! You only require a negative test 5 days before travel to enter.
I don’t know, i may be disconnected from my culture but it don’t sit right with me if Haiti becomes a tourist spot in whatever near or far off future. Lot of the time tourist attractions mess up the economy and Haiti is a very special place to its people. I think this video is interesting, despite my reservations. My mom who was born and raised in Haiti really liked the video and is excited for part two. In a way, she felt nostalgic seeing some of the places she used to frequent in her youth.

Visiting other places in Haiti is like visiting small towns or the countryside in the US. I have been to Somalia, and people in the country are just as nice as anyone you would ever meet. Haiti 🇭🇹 is no different. People are people, and I'm moving there, and I'm white.
Lol cool... what part are you moving to?
@@syljm515 to the island in the bay. La Gonave. I'm heading up a trade school for construction
@@bootlegger8818 wow you are really going to be roughing it up.
I lived in Jacmel for 5 years and now live in Port au Prince. I think Haiti is either hate it or Love it.
I love it.
A plus is you will be living right on an amazing beach.
@@syljm515 it is very beautiful out there in fact. I traveled out there last year before the lockdown. The people are nice and the island does not suffer the same drama that the mainland does. I have a friend right there in Port-au-Prince and he's moving to the island with his family with me
As a nature lover myself, I absolutely love, love the mountain views. Beautiful. Would love to travel to Haiti just to see the mountains.
Mountains without trees or vegetation. Haitians love to use trees for cooking and the deforestation it's a tragedy.
Please let travel there together
That tour guide there is a truly a good person.

I spent a year and a half in Haiti. I found that the people are all hard working , caring people. Once outside of Port au Prince you will find a different world. The true Haiti.
i’m really sooo happy you guys went. thank you for risking your life.
Honestly i feel almost ignorant for saying that but even through all of this Haiti continues to be my paradise ..
Don’t encourage these oppressive imperial terrorists to go back in Haïti, they are only looking to belittle the country’s sovereignty.
Kiriko Gosalez muños well those oppressive imperial terrorists are the base of all tourism so unless some of you “Caribbean natives” decide to visit tus vecinos and create some kind of economic flow don’t come at me with this bs.
@@coralieheyliger2572 keep your oppressive self-righteous ignorance for yourself, evil!
Oskar's French is excellent! 👍
I almost missed your video because I was traveling back from Cancun but thank God it popped up and I have a whole lot to say about Haiti. I have been traveling there for the past 40 years. There has always been political unrest in Haiti but I see now it has gotten crazy. I was in Port-au-Prince two years ago and it wasn’t like that. You guys are troopers though, I’m glad you got to see some of the beautiful parts. Looking forward to part two! And glad you’re alive to share the story. What were you thinking?? LOL❤️👍✈️
Wow Diane, that’s so cool that you’ve been going there continuously! Pretty badass! Would love to learn more about what you’ve done there. Part two will focus much more on the beautiful sides🙏✨
Don’t worry Diane, this is just a vice news type propaganda video. Unfortunately, the fight for social equity is still ongoing in Haïti; I hope one day they get the social democratic gouvernement they’ve been fighting 40 years for, they deserve. It’s not worst than it was, and isn’t any better. This video is just an insulting misleading montage makings lots of insulting sensational claims with no primary sources back them up. Haïti has a long way to go, but downgrading videos like this hurts more than it helps. It contributes to misleading stereotypes that dismiss protesting Haïtians social awareness and patriotic revolt for social equality in Haïti. I call this video a terrorizing attack on Haïti and it’s people struggle fair political representation. For gay people, I find them military in diversity exploration. Like what do you expect during a national protest 🙄 . Their white superiority complex just fell out their gay card 🙄🙄🙄. You seem like a great person Diane, don’t get involved with these monsters.

I’ll just say that I’ve been to Haiti and spent a week there traveling throughout the country. My trip was part vacation, part volunteer work.
There wasn’t a single moment where I was frightened or afraid. I’ve felt more in danger when in Israel than when I was in Haiti.
Why are ppl coming to America saying they are scared to go back? Genuine question? (If you know the answer)
@@freyastar4399 Because the US has been destabilizing the country since the catastrophic 2004 coup d'etat.

@@freyastar4399 the last time i visited Haiti was 2019 to visit my mom great fucking time, I also saw a Dominican man get rocked to death because he ran over a Haitian
That's because you are black. You blend in with the population. My white ass wouldn't last very long if by some miracle I decided to randomly travel through Haiti.
Serge is amazing. Have worked with him when we do our annual film shoots in Haiti
this video is completely amazing, the landscape, the story, everything is perfect thank you for showing the reality of my country while also showing some beautiful place the quality is very amazing. I’m going to subscribe to your channel right ! Love from Paris

We had to cancel last years trip, this years trip, and nexts years questionable.
I look forward to your part #2
Serge is amazing! Part 2 is up :)
Living in Miami, we hear about Haiti daily. Personally I would fly to Santo Domingo, then take a commuter airline to Cap Hattian, then another flight to Port au Prince, then directly back to Santiago or Santo Domingo.
This video is the equivalent of someone going to the worse part of the US then start making vlogs about how scary and dangerous the US is. As if that ONE bad city Is a reflection of the WHOLE country🤦🏾♂️
Haiti is awful just own it and move on
Be quiet
Isn't it the capital & main city?
@Von nope, you don't have to be Haitian to know its awful.
Haiti is probably the best run black country in the world.
Probably Togo lol
The tour guid seems to really love his country. I think he was embarrassed of the youngsters throwing rocks.
My trip to haiti was great yes there’s a lot of property and stuff going on with the government but it’s a Beautiful country and I will definitely be going back.
Guys a mother's only daughter went to Haiti to visit a sick relative on the verge of death and everyone told her not go and she went anyway and was kidnapped and never heard from again and odds are she's dead. When her mother found out she suffered a heart attack and later passed. Guys this was mistake and yawl need to go home ASAP.
I stayed in the Plaza Hotel myself when I traveled to Haiti. These guys failed to tell you about the SMELL of Haiti. They burn garbage every evening in PaP. The garbage is everything from paper, old electronics, mattresses, car batteries to medical waste. There’s a smoky stench in the air.
why you had to put terrifying in the title im pretty sure there is some terrifying places in Sweden too stop playing with my country
😄
Yu yu, you can't be serious, you want to compare the level of instability in Haiti to Sweden. Ou Fou ou enrage, quitter tafia
I am Haitian and I disagree. The world needs to know what’s going on there currently. It’s a humanitarian crisis. We need to get our shit together.🇭🇹
@@thefamous1716 go take several seats. You people need to educate yourself.
@@rudcolas5064 😂😂😂
I was there in 2016 during a “relatively “ calm period politically. I visited the mt top restaurant you were at in this video. 😊 My most memorable thing was working along side our translator painting black boards at a private school my group visited. He was about 20 had graduated hs again all odds and launching a successful career as a translator for Village of Hope. Gave me a new definition of what success looks like and totally erased any pre existing prejudices I held about coming from poverty somehow making a person less.
You guys should be thankful for the "good life" you have. Haiti is a developing country so don't expect to travel there and find everything in order. Good luck in your next travel!
Haiti is not developing.
@@mikicerise6250 it will

Yidesax Haiti seems like a warzone right now.
I am a Haitian American but have never been to Haiti because my parents say it’s to dangerous. I really hope I can one day in particular my dads home village. It’s called Casale or cazale
Cazale is a beautiful place, and pretty easy to get to from PAP.
I was born and raised in Haiti, currently living in the US. It saddens me to hear that too many Haitians descent cant discover where they are from due to the instability of the country. As the first black republic in the world, this is a shame to be in such situation. Haiti is too rich to be a poor country. We have not only the landscape but the history to be a top destination in the Caribbean & the world. I am 25 years old, and I have yet to explore my country. I hope in my lifetime I can see a prosperous Haiti.
@@thefamous1716 It's even more sad if ur a 🇭🇹 with ambiguous features! They really don't like that...it's sad because the remaining 🇭🇹's that aren't "black" have made it all these years because they participated in the revolution,but they're so backwards in their thinking that they still c every last one as a threat!! I should be able to show my kids where they're truly from.Its like you have a home but ur not welcomed there! 🤣
I have been to Haiti 7 times, even with my young children..I feel safer in Haiti than in many parts of the US. It's very poor, so don't go there looking for a vacation..go there to change your heart.
Totally agree. Portland, San Francisco, New York, Chicago, Detroit, all these places run by democrats are incredibly dangerous and dirty. They are worse than Haiti for sure.
Words written for me to read...thank you...many time I sit in my house and only know what I read about that country....its refreshing to read words to slap some sense into me
Many parts of the Caribbean are « very poor » have you even truly seen the country? What do you identify as really poor » parts where tourist normally visit aren’t that poor.
I so much appreciate your profound time to help the needy in Haiti. Haitians are our long gone brethren of Igbo origin. Keep up the good work and May God Almighty enrich your programs. I also watch your distribution of food items to the core needy in Colombia, Venezuela, Haiti and many other Latino needy people. Keep hope alive. May Almighty keep you self and continue helping and putting smiles of the faces of the real people that need help.
My family is actually from Haiti and that restaurant is. It to far away from my house ☺️
I know it must of been scary but thank you for giving Haiti a chance it’s truly a Beautiful place. Just have been miss lead and taken advantage for a long time
Omg that’s awesome! Part 2 is up :)
Such a beautiful video that you guys showing me, my country Haiti is beautiful , thank you so much for this video 😎😎🙏🙏🇭🇹
Thank you for having us in Haiti!
Damn I’m praying for Serge’s well-being
I can't wait for part 2! :O
Same
My God what a beautiful and super interesting country full of culture. May God bless Haiti 🇭🇹 and her people 🙏 ❤️
Serge deserves the nobel peace and love prize.
As a haitian born in France, even my mom would be against the project to go in Haiti now. It is a little complicated at the time.
So i salute your courage and your will to discover this country! Thanks you very much guys! I will follow you soon by the way once Macron removed the curfew.
Hope you will be able to go soon🙏
Any sensible tourist would not visit the town center of any country where there is civil unrest but would opt to go to the more laid- back countryside and tourist resort areas.
My parents are from Dominican Republic and i absolutely love that you traveled to Haiti.
I definitely want to visit but with a 7 year old it might not be the best decision at the moment.

Amazing video! Can’t wait for part two. Was Serge able to shed any light on what the group of men in the square were saying to you all?
They were telling us to “take back our president” (several foreign powers, most notably the US and Canada, seem to be keeping the current president in power, so when they saw foreigners they likely took out their frustration on us).
Right now people are very pissed at international backers like the UN, OAS, USA who are supporting Jovenel Moise. There is also the CORE group of countries and BINUH office who are basically ruling the country de facto. They probably assumed they were Americans.
I am a US citizen and have been twice and I love the beautiful country of Haiti, it’s sad the lack of government and resources for the people. The only part of the capital I have seen is to and from the airport…..LOL. You would think the capital would be the safest place. Anyway, maybe one day I will be able to venture to those parts. I was actually planned to be there this past Saturday. Prayers to the President wife and family and the people of Haiti. Hopefully this new generation will return and stand up for Haiti.
I'm so excited for Part 2 of your Haiti trip... The insecurity combined with the beauty and unique heritage reminds me of my travels in northeastern India a decade ago
(P.S. the region is at peace now, but a decade ago, it was scary)
Always remember to not go into politics, cause you wouldn’t understand the greed of an opposition and what they would do. Every President would want to do good for their country, just like Christ would love to see good for humanity. God bless you guys! I’m changing back to a like!
I have been to this country twice on medical mission trips. The people are beautiful. I hope the political situation stabilizes.
None of what is happening is going to stop me from moving to the island of La Gonave. Currently heading up a trade school for construction there outside the city of anse-a-galets.
My older sister has done this twice on medical missions and once with her husband
I don’t know how either of these guys can even get outa bed with such big balls of steel. Haiti is metal af
Merci monsieur Serge, vous représentez l'essence même et l'espoir de cette grande nation.

“Haiti, for much of its history and including present-day has been prevailingly a Christian country, primarily Roman Catholic”

I can remember an old Korean navy veteran telling me onetime when his ship pulled into Haiti, one of the first things he saw getting of the ship was a dead body laying in a river with a knife in it’s back!

Does Poppa Doc still rap battle?

As a botanist, I find it terrifying to see the state of nature there. There used to be many endemic species and fascinating forests, nowadays there are only heavily eroded landscapes with only a few remnants of the once wonderful nature. It makes me sad...

Do they always attack random white peoples like the video seems to claim?
@@juanito5418 No, the people Love white peoples there, i don't know why!!! But it's the fact
@@deechallenge1323 because they see people as people, are welcoming, a bit naïve in some aspects, are forgiving people, and see no wrong in white peoples before they are wrong. It’s in part because of good positive western media consumption and Christian legacy. Videos like this one is very misleading and super destructive for the country.

I haven't looked at this, but I'm assuming it's mostly dome and gloom. I wanna start seeing these countries good side.
It's not it's a mix and I'm glad they're showing the hood and bad sides , they have another video about the unseen side of Haiti
It's nothing new
Just check the majority of vloggers who go to the poor developing countries, they usually go out of their way to show the bad sides of the countries that way they can feel good about their lives and generate videos like this
As If this country needs more bad press
Not my intention to bring race but they are usually white 😂
I just spent a week in Port-au-Prince and also travelled with Serge, and I enjoyed my visit without any dramatic experiences. Thanks for your video!
Suddenly the situation turning bad? What? C'mon, when hasn't it been very bad in Haiti. It's like a Mad Max movie set in the Caribbean.
That was exactly the point of this propaganda
Let me just put this out of here: do you really think Haití is only port au prince? Haiti is the size of MA if i remember correctly. Yeah it’s sad that u experienced some traumatic moments well, it’s not like that only happens in Haiti. I hate when u do that. Situation in Haiti is not the greatest, is not the worst either. I think you should change the title because it’s bad propaganda and Haiti has so many nice places to visit. Please stop the BS. Haiti has so much to offer to the world! Thanks for visiting anyways.
PS.- if it’s only to grow the bad propaganda about Haiti, just don’t go but if instead, you want to say what the world doesn’t know about Haiti, and make them see three natural beauty of this place, please do that.
That would have been my comment as well a few years ago, but now we got a humanitarian crisis going on there. It’s a fact that no one is safe in Haiti currently. We need to do better, fast. ❤️🇭🇹
What was the name of the hotel you stayed at in the beginning of your video in Port-au-Prince?
Le Plaza :)
I am sorry for what you had experienced there. The Ouest side of the country right now is not the best place to be.
Keep up the great work guys! Your videos are interesting, informative and just good fun to watch. When do you plan to travel to the Philippines?
Thank you Paul! Philippines - as soon as we’re allowed🤩

What a beauty, would love to visit.
I don’t know, i may be disconnected from my culture but it don’t sit right with me if Haiti becomes a tourist spot in whatever near or far off future. Lot of the time tourist attractions mess up the economy and Haiti is a very special place to its people.
I think this video is interesting, despite my reservations. My mom who was born and raised in Haiti really liked the video and is excited for part two. In a way, she felt nostalgic seeing some of the places she used to frequent in her youth.
