Life Nomadic: What Couchsurfing in Haiti is Like {Gadling}

Apr 14th 2009 2:27PM Tynan,

I go to Haiti a couple of times a year to work with a children's home in Port Au Prince. I can assure you that the danger is not overhyped. I am glad that you had a safe trip, but you always need to be very careful when there. Things can can change very rapidly and with the elections coming up this weekend I would be hesistant about traveling there until after. The people of Haiti are beautiful and it is an amazing place, just be careful.
