Haiti (i/ˈheɪti/; French: Haïti [a.iti]; Haitian Creole: Ayiti [ajiti]), officially the Republic of Haiti (French: République d'Haïti; Haitian Creole: Repiblik Ayiti), is a country in the western hemisphere, and is located on the island of Hispaniola, in the Greater Antilles archipelago of the Caribbean. It occupies the western three-eighths of the island which it shares with the Dominican Republic. Haiti is 27,750 square kilometres (10,714 sq mi) in size and has an estimated 10.6 million people, making it the most populous country in the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and the third-most populous country in the Caribbean as a whole.
Originally inhabited by the indigenous Taíno people, Europeans first became aware of the island on December 5, 1492 during the first voyage of Christopher Columbus across the Atlantic. When Columbus first landed in Haiti, he had thought he had found India or Asia. Deciding to establish the first settlement in the area, a contingent of men were left at an outpost christened La Navidad because of the wreck to their sunken flagship, the Santa Maria, that occurred at Christmas, north of what is now Limonade. The island was named Hispaniola and claimed by Spain, which ruled until the early 17th century. Competing claims and settlements by the French led to the western portion of the island being ceded to France, which named it Saint-Domingue. The development of sugarcane plantations, worked by slaves brought from Africa, led to the colony being among the most lucrative in the world.

This is a video I spliced into a video of a song by a French singer named Raphael Haroche. Some parts are from news clips after the earth quake in Haiti in 2010. I've also spliced in some footage from before the earthquake. It was my way to pay tribute to the people of Haiti in their suffering. Today, even though it's not in the news so much anymore, the suffering continues. As of Jan. 20 there have been at least 4000 deaths due to cholera, since last fall. We should be mindful of that. If we cared in the first place, shouldn't we continue to care? Note: I do not own the video clips, the lyrics, or any part of this recording of the song "Adieu Haiti" . I only translated the text.

Très belle chanson ;) !!
Once a major tourist destination in the 70's, after wars, epidemics, and dictatorships, Haiti fell off the vacation map. It's still on the State Department's travel warning list, but the Haitian government says it's safe and fun for Americans to visit. Vocativ went to Haiti and talked to the minister of tourism, tour guides, police, to explore what a vacation in Haiti would look like.

Traveling from the DR to Haiti. About Me // I am 25, from Marietta, Georgia and I started this channel in 2013 in my final semester of my college. After graduating from Auburn University in Alabama I spent four months in Europe and tried my hand at vloging. You can watch the whole series here and forgive me for filming it on my iPhone. Right after traveling I moved to DC where I lived for two years. Last summer I backpacked through Central America and produced a 10 part vlog series about that as well. I currently am traveling on World Race. The World Race is an 11 month mission trip to 11 countries. I post videos almost every day, so subscribe and stay a while if you want to see more. - All filmed on a Canon S120, Canon G7x and Canon T3i. Thanks for watching, Julia
Haiti Travel Video Guide: Haiti is the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere. Tourists who are unsettled by grinding poverty probably should visit elsewhere. However, for those with patience and an open mind, Haiti reveals a rich culture that is unique among post-colonial nations. It is extremely helpful when traveling in Haiti to have a local contact, through a church, a hotel, or just through making friends with someone. Experiences like dining locally, riding on a tap-tap, or strolling through one of the insanely crowded outdoor markets are great fun and very worth doing but are much safer and easier if you have a trusted Haitian to go along as a guide and interpreter. Enjoy your Haiti Travel Video Guide! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oH0T1A2oCK8

Travel video about destination The Caribbean. Haiti is the starting point of this journey in the Caribbean. Since the time of Columbus it has been the European idyll of paradise set amid a distant ocean. But beyond the dream is the fact that its original inhabitants were wiped out and replaced with African slaves. Now independent states have gradually emerged from the dark shadows of an inglorious past.Jamaica is another Caribbean paradise and its second largest city, Montego Bay, is the starting point for tourists from all over the world. One of its attractions is Harmony Hall, a fine manor house situated on a turn of the century plantation. Kingston is the capital of Jamaica and the island’s political, economic and cultural centre, a former pirate stronghold that is a lively mixture of j...
Remember when travelling use to be something to really look forward to? But now it just feels like such a hassle. It doesn't have to be that way, here are some my tips to help your trip a smoother one. 1) Book your flight. See if you have any layovers and how long they are so you can make necessary preparations like booking a hotel room or crashing at a friend's house at that layover destination 2) Pack days in advance. This prevents the stressful rush of doing things last minute. It also prevents the last minute surprises of an overweight luggage or the need for an extra luggage 3) Do not pack hygiene products or any thing of liquid, gel, aerosol or cream form that is over a certain amount (1 quart-size bag). Anything else has to go in your checked bag. 4) DO NOT SHOW UP TO THE AIRPO...

[Raphaël]
Je marche dans les rues, le bon Dieu dans ma poche
Je marche dans la grande ville et je n'ai plus froid
La Terre est mon amie et souvent je dors dessus
Et je m'ennuie de mon pays qui était si petit
Adieu mon petit pays, adieu ma famille
Adieu mon île, ô Haïti, adieu ma petite terre
[Toots]
I remember my country down Memory Lane
The wind is my best friend, it always blows for me
Neons in the distance clear as daylight
Sometimes I think that I'm not of this world, I remember this song
O farewell my country, my carribean island in the sun
O farewell Haïti, the sun I just can't see
[Raphaël]
Adieu mon petit pays, adieu ma famille
Adieu mon île, ô Haïti, adieu ma petite terre
Je me souviens des rues et des nuits de Port-au-Prince
Et je suis toujours un étranger à la gare internationale
Le vent nous emportait aussi loin qu'il pouvait
Cet air, je le connais
[Toots]
I say farewell my country, my carribean island in the sun
