"Haiti is a beautiful and diverse country with a rich culture and history. It is important to be aware of the political and economic situation in Haiti before moving there. Expats should also research the cost of living and the availability of housing and other amenities. It is also important to be aware of the language barrier, as French and Creole are the two official languages of Haiti. Expats should also be aware of the potential for natural disasters, as Haiti is prone to hurricanes and earthquakes. Finally, expats should be aware of the healthcare system in Haiti and make sure they have adequate health insurance coverage," remarked another expat in Haiti.
