Yeah maybe in like 100 years or more when A.I. robots are able to do everything. But at that point every country is going to start becoming developed so it makes no difference. If anything there is a chance Haiti could lose a large portion of its coast line due to ocean rising.
haiti is underrated, im from haiti and i love it even if were struggling a bit, you need to jist see the beautiful people, and the joy they have in their hearts even if a lot of them dont have much. its a beautiful country and i hope you can go with a good guide. my mom does mission trips, if you ever want to, just message me and ill let you know the info
Hey Joshua! Thanks for your comment :) You should visit Haiti if you're remotely interested. It is a beautiful country and there is so much to learn from the people and the culture about strength, kindness, and more. We recommend it. Thanks for watching!
Hey Nissia! Well said comment. We agree with you and love that your Mom does mission trips. That's awesome :) Thank you so much for sharing and watching!
@Luke & Semone...Dans mes etudes a Brown University, en Rhode Island, j'ai connu a Monsieur le professeur Rene Belance. Il etait un gentilhomme de la premiere classe. Mon pauvre francais, comment vous le trouve? Bonne nuit.
Haitians think they have money. Which to travel their they assume right. They are Americans... when you see someone come into a country, know their not that dry on at least a month worth of monies.
Lewis C. It's a "shit hole," yet you still watched and went the extra mile to comment. Let me guess, you just enjoy bitching and complaining. Let me ask you something, since you have so much to critique, what exactly are you doing to improve the "infrastructure" or the economy there??? I'll wait while you dig thru your receipts.... Meanwhile show a little respect for the natives and those who are from Haiti that live elsewhere...🤦🏾♀️ there's a way to express your opinion without being offensive to others...
I’m Haitian anyways some of my family renting houses paying $1,500 for the whole year comes fully furnished with refrigerator, microwave & so on except a bed. So your realtor should’ve find you a better deal. JS
Thats true. But also remember it depends on what area you live in too. Like every country different areas with different prices. But I still feel like they got them with that $650 a month for that crib
my wife and i love to watch you guys. we have been watching these videos because we are thinking about moving to haiti. I was born there and she was born in the states. we are kind of wondering about how drastic the change will be.
You must ponder your decision and plan carefully before moving. Considering you two have never lived in Haiti, it will take some serious adjustments because living in Haiti is the opposite of what you are used to here in the state. I suggest you make a few trips and observe before moving for good. Good luck!
Wow. Time has definitely flown by for me! I lived there back in 1983 with my family. My dad built Oil factories there. We lived down the street from the Ambassador of France. Would love to visit again soon!
The yearly rent is just the local system. You can pay every six months too. Haitian people are used to the system, it's always been like that, nothing to do with trust. I'm fact there is a term for that it's called "Enfermmer" it's bi annually or annually. There is also. "Loyer" which is monthly. When you are renting you have to find out if the place is "à enfermmer" or à loyer.
It's beautiful, the beaches are gorgeous. Lots of great people. It won't be like petitionville or diverse like P.A.P but if you want to connect with people and spread the ministry of Christ Ile De La Tortue is the place to be
Good for you guys. My mom was a missonary in Haiti for 8 years back in the late 80's early 90's. She worked at a childrens hospital there (before the earthquake🙁).
I love you guys videos. Thanks for showing a great side of Haiti, you guys are amazing. I'm curious what brought you guys to Haiti in the first place? Visit Ile De La Tortue one day
+Jordany Parfait That's exactly it--we are trying to show the good side of Haiti! We felt called to move here, and we want to help encourage and empower Haitians. But we're taking it slow as we're learning culture and language right now. We'll definitely have to visit De La Tortue sometime. How is it there?
Small mind people do not really know us.We have done a lot.People always remember bad things not good.I moved to US in 2010.I have learned a lot from other people.I realized we are the most civilized.I wish you guys gud luck guys don't listen to any stupid people . Don't give up!
I would like to be able to live in my own country comfortably and have a regular job like you people. That was impossible I had to flee to USA still can't make enough monney to return to my country.
Nevermind these people. I understand what you're saying. Unfortunately, your home country probably has suffered from destabilization by The World Power countries like the U.S. Then you come to the U.S. and it's not quite the "paradise" that might have thought it was. Anyways we know that many things in life arent easy so just keep your head up, keep pushing and you'll realize your vision.
Yes, Any country you go to you need a native to negotiate everything for you . Ive been going to Jamaica for over 11 years now and I have my own connections! I am curious about your background Semone. Are you Haitian? How did you two end up there?
I went to haiti after the earthquake to help for six months and wind up staying for six years . I was so relaxed, and comfortable layed back the food awesome, culture, people warm hearts filled with love to give, and O' the women they are so submissive to their man. I regret not knowing this earlier in my life; but this is were it gets sad i had to leave because my whole life saving was finished ; but I'll be back stronger then ever..
@@Lukeandsemone mh can u visit the country side of haiti its the best part of haiti and also i just found u today and im so happy and shen haitiens call u blanc it means u are forighen even tho u are half haiten like me they will call u blanc or and blanc means also forieghn ,white so it has alot of meaning
As I was looking for houses to rent in Haiti, I randomly came across your video! I would love to connect with you both when I'm out there next!! I have a ministry where we are trying to create jobs and help families become self-sustaining. I have a volunteer Haitian staff, but we're just having difficulty finding something affordable (especially in PAP)!!! Thanks for your tips! I'll be staying in Laplaine in November if you guys are around! :)
You moved to La plaine yet? I used to lived there. My dad, and oncle have homes there. I was considering going back with my kids, rent free, just maintain the homes. However my cousins told me that the area have lot's of crime now. I haven't been to Haiti in like 12years.
+Carolanne Tomsine Hey! We felt called to come here, and we want to help encourage and empower Haitians in both business and ministry. We started an organization called Home For The Nations that will be focused on these things, especially in the context of building relationships and developing communities. We're taking things super slow though to learn culture and language before we do too much. Thanks for asking!
Well, we knew God was calling us to go to other nations. Shortly after we got married God spoke Haiti to us. We had never been, but we pursued it and went two times for a short trip. We moved here last year, and God has been guiding us ever since.
There are ways to build your own electricity system which you dont pay for monthly: - Buy enough SOLAR PANELS and install them yourself. - Buy a sufficient INVERTER.
Greetings to you. I love your Country! I lived there before in 1983. My family used to watch President Jean Claude Duvalier on television all the time. It is probably different now?
Devonte Terry Gourdes🤣..no way. Everything you pay for in Haiti is in American dollar or equivalent in gourdes but it still a lot because the American dollar is the strongest one, you need a whole lot amount of gourdes to have a little small amount of us $$$.
Why did you guys choose to live in Haiti rather than the US? And how long do you plan on staying there? I think it's cool to live there for about a year just to try something fun but not to stay there forever though.
New to your channel, but wanted to know why did you guys move to Haiti? I'm Haitian living in the U.S and I'm guessing you're not Haitians. Can you guys do a Q&A? Do you plan on doing more videos?
Hey Empress0722! Thanks for coming to the channel :) We moved to Haiti after praying, learning and visiting. We felt God was calling us there to serve and use our gifts to empower and encourage Haitians. We are not Haitian and have been learning Creole and culture for the past year. We do plan on making more videos and a Q&A is a great idea :) You can learn more about our vision for our work in Haiti here: www.lukeandsemone.com/haiti/ Thanks for watching and for commenting!
That's American dollars. Things are very expensive in Haiti. You can get better deals on housing if you pay for the the whole year up front (but who has the money to do that?!), and certain areas are cheaper than others. Where we're at now, we pay $450US, BUT it was unfurnished, which means no stove, no fridge, no nothing.
wow I was just there for 3 weeks hadn't seen this video before I would have contact you but I would love to connect with you on my next visit what part of Haiti are you in
Hello Yvose! That's awesome that you were in Haiti recently :) We're in the States for a bit right now, but love connecting with people too. We're in Port au Prince :) If you come again and are in the area, let us know! Thanks for watching!
Most landlords will accept payment in gourde, however we definitely have had some Haitian-American landlords who wanted USD. As another tip, if you are able to pay for the whole year, you can usually find a place at a significant discount.
Thanks for your comment and question. Haiti and the Bahamas are separate countries and islands. We're not too sure about traveling by boat but I found this site that might give you more info on travel in country that way. Hope this helps some :) www.travellerspoint.com/guide/Caribbean_ferries/
+Leslinda Leon Hey, thanks for asking. We've actually moved from this apartment, so we're not doing our AirBnb right now. We'll keep you posted if we start hosting again.
After a year or maybe two you’ll realize that Haiti isn’t as rural n weird as people think there are so many ways to live a normal life in Haiti like going to stores and sushi restaurants huge parties fried chicken restaurants and even ordering Chinese food life in Haiti is just as nice as life in the states Tbh
I hate when Americans go to Haïti and don't even understand the language or the culture, I don't care if she is of Haïtian descent. This is not French we're speaking, blan is not JUST the color "white", blan means foreigner in Kreyòl. An African-American, an Asian, a Mexican are all "blan yo." We know you're color already.
that's not true blan means white. If you are light-skinned, they might call u blan as well, but they know ur not white, they know the difference. African-American are not considered as blan
That has not been our experience. That's true that people with white or light skin are called "blan", but from what we have gathered, "blan" is frequently used to refer to a foreigner (i.e. non-Haitian). If you are black, Haitians assume you are also Haitian. A lot of Haitians we meet who have never been to the US don't know that there are African-Americans--they assume that all black Americans are Haitians. But if they know you are a foreigner you are still called "blan" sometimes.
I am Haitian and I lived in Haiti and I never heard any Haitian call a black foreigner blan. But oh well, I cannot say ur lying if u said so. Anyway, thanks for sharing ur experience
Mwen kwè ke depi w ap viv Lèzètazini kounyea ou gentan rankontre plizyè nwa ameriken k ap viv nan peyi a. Se blan yo ye toujou selon tèm yo ki ayisyen natif-natal yo itilize pou yo, menm nan peyi blan an.

yes its true blan usually means someone from another country or someone whos not fluent in Creole

Most landlords will accept payment in gourde, however we definitely have had some Haitian-American landlords who wanted USD. As another tip, if you are able to pay for the whole year, you can usually find a place at a significant discount.
dose ther any borders bettwen haiti and bahamas
i want vist haity and do to nassau by boat
Thanks for your comment and question. Haiti and the Bahamas are separate countries and islands. We're not too sure about traveling by boat but I found this site that might give you more info on travel in country that way. Hope this helps some :) www.travellerspoint.com/guide/Caribbean_ferries/

I want to go to Haiti so bad!
Beautiful topic how can I speak to yall in private I really need this info
After a year or maybe two you’ll realize that Haiti isn’t as rural n weird as people think there are so many ways to live a normal life in Haiti like going to stores and sushi restaurants huge parties fried chicken restaurants and even ordering Chinese food life in Haiti is just as nice as life in the states Tbh
is electric 120 volt same as us
+David Berquist I believe it's 110 volts. We haven't had any problem with charging and using US electronics so far.
David Berquist yes
En Haiti, est qui'il y a des pensions?
Oui, pour les functionnaires publiques surtout.
Jay Young oui.
Jay Young .je crois pas non.
what type ofapartment is that
I hate when Americans go to Haïti and don't even understand the language or the culture, I don't care if she is of Haïtian descent. This is not French we're speaking, blan is not JUST the color "white", blan means foreigner in Kreyòl. An African-American, an Asian, a Mexican are all "blan yo." We know you're color already.
that's not true blan means white. If you are light-skinned, they might call u blan as well, but they know ur not white, they know the difference. African-American are not considered as blan
That has not been our experience. That's true that people with white or light skin are called "blan", but from what we have gathered, "blan" is frequently used to refer to a foreigner (i.e. non-Haitian). If you are black, Haitians assume you are also Haitian. A lot of Haitians we meet who have never been to the US don't know that there are African-Americans--they assume that all black Americans are Haitians. But if they know you are a foreigner you are still called "blan" sometimes.
I am Haitian and I lived in Haiti and I never heard any Haitian call a black foreigner blan. But oh well, I cannot say ur lying if u said so. Anyway, thanks for sharing ur experience
Mwen kwè ke depi w ap viv Lèzètazini kounyea ou gentan rankontre plizyè nwa ameriken k ap viv nan peyi a. Se blan yo ye toujou selon tèm yo ki ayisyen natif-natal yo itilize pou yo, menm nan peyi blan an.
Brown falco Gaming Uneducated, lazy. You need help.
Furnished in France is the same with Haiti. I would love to have a microwave but I can't imagine that here
at least he will give Haiti some color it needs it
