Haiti

you need to come here. learn some kreyol before you come because it will open the country up...but even if you don't--you still need to come here.

Stepping off the plane, just a little under 2 hours from Miami lies a hidden gem. While most travel sites tell you to avoid Haiti like the plague I think it's because they want it all to themselves. It's loud, dusty when you get outside of most towns, smelly and chaotic. Being in the extreme minority (i.e. all white people work with NGO's) is a refreshing change and the culture is open and expressive, almost to a fault.

The landscape here is breathtaking. Haiti has some of the most beautiful mountains I've ever seen (second only to CO)...

basically...you need to get here.

I'm leaving tomorrow and am really sad...
