Digital Nomad Life in Haiti

By Betsy Burlingame

Summary: Haiti is not a popular destination for digital nomads. The most popular cities for digital nomads are usually larger cities with more infrastructure and amenities, such as San Francisco, New York, and London. Digital nomads may be attracted to Haiti for its low cost of living and its vibrant culture. A digital nomad can live on a monthly budget of around $1,000 in Haiti. This budget can cover basic living expenses such as rent, food, and transportation. The culture of Haiti is a mix of African, French, and Caribbean influences. Music, art, and dance are important aspects of Haitian culture. Foods popular in Haiti include rice and beans, plantains, and various seafood dishes. Haitian cuisine is known for its spicy flavors and use of local ingredients.

How do I meet people in Haiti?

When we asked people living in Haiti about club and activities where newcomers can meet others, they responded:

"Expats in Haiti often join clubs and activities such as the Port-au-Prince International Women's Club, which provides a social and cultural network for expat women. Expats can also join the Haiti International Network, which is a professional network for expats living in Haiti. Other ways that expats meet people when living in Haiti include attending local events such as festivals, concerts, and art exhibitions, as well as joining local sports teams or volunteering with local organizations. Additionally, expats can meet people through their work, by attending language classes, or by joining online forums and social media groups," explained one expat living in Haiti.

"The Petion-ville Club; Members only, though Wensday nights are open to public. UN, US Embassy, Canadian Embassy, Local affluent families, etc. are here. Great place to meet and network. The Hotel Montanna; The premier hotel for foreign persons and meeting place for dignataries, etc. The Hotel Caribe; Newly opened, conference center, the up and coming place in Haiti currently (2009)," said one person in Petion-ville.
