I'm becoming addicted I'm literally looking for a video each week. Thank you I really enjoy your content
you are such a big encouragement for me to move back. I love how you are not bias to what happening to the country and how real you are about everything. my biggest fear was that I would like the city better because of the stores and how close everything like i'm used to in the US. I look forward to your videos and enjoy watching them. thank you for sharing your experience. please keep sharing them !
Thanks for watching hun! If you live in the Petionville area you’ll have a very similar lifestyle to the States. That’s where I lived before moving to Okap. You’ll find literally everything there! Spas, luxury salons, all types of restaurants, supermarkets, etc. But once you leave the West Department, the other cities don’t have that vibe.
Luckily I’m a beach bum, I love the beach. So I wouldn’t mind a rural area closer to the beach with a slower lifestyle than in the states . 😊
When I returned from my trip to Cape Haitien with a friend few weeks ago, we saw on the plane to go back to the US more than 175 Haitians who were leaving to live in the US. I was so traumatized because for me I think that US is traping those haitians. They want to empty Haiti of their population to buy our land and buy our natural wealth. They create chaos and disorder to make us flee our country. to go work hard to build their country while they take their vacation in the most beautiful places in Haiti. It is time for the Djaspora to put value on the still few safe places in Haiti in order to create economic activities to encourage people to live in Haiti in good conditions. because otherwise we will lose our nation and in a few years we will all be divided.
I know it’s more easy to say then to do it but we need to start somewhere🙏🏾
At the rate people have children in this country I don’t ever see our population decreasing. It’s a controversial topic, but I really wish people were more accepting of family planning. I don’t understand why people have 5/6 kids but no money😢. Then the kids have a really hard life.
Well, said my dear. I am dying to go back to start a Waste Managements and other businesses, but alas.
@@ruttybyes all the time I get asked “kilè wap fon pitit” umm when I feel financially stable to have one ! A box of diapers almost $50 ! Haiti yo pa menm ka bay tèt yo manje chak jou epi yap grennen pitit it’s sad
I agree ayiti pap peri
😊 Hi Rutty,
I REALLY enjoyed this vlog you're such an educator HAITI is BLESSED to have you.
You love your homeland and it shows up BEAUTIFUL.
Thanks for sharing so much with us.
Love your channel, Im dominican living in new york, I go to the island three times a year.
thank you for all your videos, you are part of the change that Haiti needs. I was in Haiti at the end of January and beginning of February with a friend. as a young Haitian born in Canada I found the city of Au cap to be a city with great tourist potential which could create a lot of work for the inhabitants and the young people.. also we absolutely need to help (we djaspora) the small cleaning companies in the city to solve this pollution problem!
There are some companies trying to solve the waste issue, but I don’t think it’ll work unless they partner with the government. This is something that needs to be done on a large scale.
Thank you for showing us this side of Haiti 🇭🇹
Your Vlog gives me life Rutty thank you 🙏
I love the first few seconds of this video, please do more like it for your following videos.
I love your videos! Please keep them coming. You are an inspiration!
Love this vlog! Makes me so nostalgic. Thanks for inspiring and educating
You're just a whole vibe. We would love more cook with me vids.
So i'm a first-time viewer. i'm impressed with your journey in Haiti, it take a lot to make the transition that two young couples just leave and endure the difficulties thats going on in the country. I'm aspiŕe more the ever to make that trip to Haiti. I will be watching. Bless you guys.
Just checking out this Vlog...amazing. I was born in Port au Prince and extensively traveled through my youth in L' Artibonite, my second love. First time I get a glimpse on Cap Haitien and the North. Keep up the images and the spirit.
Hi Rutty, for this program, I decided not to talk about it again but I don't mind sharing my thoughts for your video. One thing to note, when you look at the sky-high tickets from Haiti to anywhere in the States for the last two years especially around the beginning of that program, and you add the cost for the work permit, the government benefited from those sponsors. This program created also so much division between family members as well. I have met and seen some Haitians sleeping in shelters once they arrived here. While I understand the sorrow and desperation of our people, I personally believe that overall, no matter what, I think just a slim minority of people can say that it worked well for them.
Your video was fun to watch, keep them coming🙂
Thanks for sharing hun!!! 💗
I’ve noticed everything you mentioned as well😒
@@ruttyb of course you did, it's so obvious😕
Here in Oregon, they’re well received via the Biden program or other means. Those in the program always have the family's support. Within two days of arrival they test for their drivers license, workers permit is no longer an obstacle because they realize these people will work regardless so why not give it to them so they can be properly taxed.
we would love a beauty vlog on skincare and haircare because 😍🥰
🥰🙏🏾💗
Tes vidéos me font savourer les "charmes"d'Haïti.. Merci Rutty😉clin d'œil,depuis le Québec,
Dear Rutty,
Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏🙏😍😍 I love your channel! You keep bringing exactly what I'm looking for 😮. Thanks to you😊 I'm back into juicing. It makes a big difference. I love your cooking style.The upside down pineapple cake is everything😋😋
l appreciate all your hard work 🙏❤️
💗💗💗💗💗💗
I love this Vlog. I'd love to see you shopping for clothes in your area and doing a clothing haul with them. Just to kinda showing what (clothing options) you can buy in Haiti.
Hi Rutty! Thank you for answering my question. It makes total sense to me that your life is shifting and things aren’t the same as when you first moved to Haiti, where access to certain items/services was a more pressing matter for adjustment than it is now. I wish you success and happiness for your upcoming move to Plaisance!
Thank you!! It’ll take some time until we finish building, but I can’t wait to move there. I’m tired of Okap already😂
Hey Rutty! I love you channel. You have a positive energy.
Can you film a day in the life if possible please. I’d love to see what a normal day looks like for you. 😊
Definitely! I’ve been wanting to do one for a while now.
Fav Haitian UA-camr ❤❤
Nice vlog as always. Please keep on drinking those juices as they are good sources of vitamin C.😊
Camp Perrin is nice you may not fund everything you need but you can become that demand for that supply , or supply the demand
The food! Yum yum 😍😍😍
Hey I live I pap from usa 5 years I was just in cap Haitian for birthday weekend alone 1-13-2024 I was at same Sogebank atm on your video and yes cap Haitian totally different from cap Haitian I hung out in the streets until 3am walking near cap deli and my hotel alone everyone thanked me for visiting their city
Thank you so much for sharing these! Do you think you could do a "cook with me" series on Haitian recipes? Thank you so much!
I want to!! I’ve been thinking about it for a while now.
Thank you for all the information you provide about Haiti. Hopefully one day me and my family can make that big jump. At a point in my life we were in Dominican Republic for about 2 years and we loved it there. Still thinking about going is just so much going on where it kind of puts a pause on everything? How was it looking for a job because that's my main concern? What VPN do you use for work? Because I know you have to have a certain type of internet or VPN to work. God bless you my sister and your family waiting on the next video.
In my “Moving to Haiti 101” playlist I have a video about finding a job in Haiti & working remotely. For internet I have Starlink. It became available in Haiti last year. It works very well. Before Starlink we used Natcom & it was terrible lol. With Starlink you’ll have internet even in rural areas.
I enjoy watching every video that you post. I love your cooking and baking...I swear I can smell everything through my tablet 😂. Does your husband know how to cook too?
Thanks hun! Yes he cooks too!
Hello Rutty. Loved the video. Was wondering if you didn’t like putting tritri and chevrette in your rice.
I’ve never tried it in diri kole. I would put shrimp in diri djon djon though.
Manje w fe m grangou!💗 hope i said that right! Great video!!🤗🤗
Thanks hun, you said it right lol
Love my town
Ill be moving back to haiti but somewhere that barely anyone knows tehe
The food looks yummy
Thanks hun!💗
That was a great video and I enjoyed watching it. USA is not what so many Haitians think.
Yup! Even when you try to tell them, they say they want to go see for themselves😅
@@ruttyb
Their mind is either in the future
A better life in USA chile France Canada
Or their mind is in the past
They want France to pay back billions
The best place to live is in the present
Best way to stay encored to the present is to repeat thoughts 💭 for hours
Hello my dear.. au sujet de fatra..ñ okap lel fé la pluie please!! mete ak lot moun Pou wo _a proche mari _ 🏬 depatmen an , epui cherche mete ak lot moun ak wo, kondsidere mwen ce yon Nan moun ki vlé paticipe paske mwen sou route Pou m abite okap 🏝️🇭🇹
I love fish with boiled banna
👋🏾 just an idea for a video. How to maintain or adhere to regulations for your US citizenship while leaving in Haiti. It can be just the basic information.
If you are a us citizen there’s no maintain to keep your citizenship just keep renewing your passport that’s all you can renew your passport at the embassy
❤❤❤❤
I love seeing your expert-level juicing and cooking!

Why do you not like Cap-Haitian?
It's sad to see how the government isn't doing anything to fix the problem in the country.
The problems benefit them😒 They’re in no rush!
I love pineapple upside down cake 🍰
Are you able to keep your American passport while living in Haiti full time?
Hi Rutty! Love your videos. Any possibility of you moving to Ghana? You seem to like it there.
No she’s staying in her own country sis all of us Haitians can’t run and go hide Kay moun the time is now for us to stand up and fight for our country
My husband & I want to go there for a few months. He specializes in afrobeats & would love to spend time there. We’ll definitely visit again! Maybe for 2 or 3 months.
If you want to lose weight you have to walk 🚶♂️ 15-30 a day , a good 🚶♂️, walk on the beach ⛱️ to the store with a cup of coffee don't set all day in front of the computer and this helps your brain to function correctly and gives you so much energy.....walking for life you would be surprised how many can't even walk for 10min like no energy or endurance.....but if course Jehovah provide the energy.
Nice hair by the way.
Thank you!
Can you do a video on work from home jobs? What could someone from the US who wants to move to Haiti do for remote work?
i'm tryna go back to live there too but what are some things i can do for money so that i can live comfortably.?
how long did it take for them to ship your starlink to you?
Longer than the estimated shipping time. I think online it says 1 to 2 weeks. But it took 5 weeks or so. This was back in June 2023. So it might be different now.
You good
I need a video on how you made that pineapple cake 😭
Hello Rutty! Do you have any advice to someone who is considering going back to Haiti to live?
I usually need more info to give advice about that because it differs depending on where in Haiti the person wants to move to, their occupation, etc. People usually DM me or send me an email & I ask follow up questions to better understand their situation.
I also have a playlist called “Moving to Haiti 101”. I’ll film more videos to add to it as I get more questions. Maybe I can do a video giving some general tips about moving to Haiti. But feel free to contact me for more detailed advice.
I am Kenyan is it possible to work in Haiti
Sadly, every elected official who ran for mayor of Okap always ran under the pretense they would resolve the sanitary issue of the city. All politics just so they could get elected. The main reason I dislike all those platforms asking people to come to Okap. They should better use those platforms to renounce whoever is the mayor. Enjoy your content always, still awaiting the native accent though.. lol
You are living my life . I would love to come for 3 months. Any advice😊 thanks in advance
Do you already have a place to stay?
I love your vlog on Ghana. Do you have idea if haitians love shea butter
Thanks! I don’t think it’s widely used here. I have a product by a Haitian hair care brand that says “Haitian shea butter”, but I was really surprised to see that cause I didn’t know there was such a thing here.
@@ruttyb thanks for your prompt response.
❤️🤞👑👍👍
Can you make a video about direct deposit. Such as working at home job from the U.S but moving to Haiti working remotely for an American company
Some people continue to get deposits to their USA bank account. If you want to receive payments in your local bank account then your job would need to send a wire transfer.
@@ruttyb so u will use a debit card from the u.s Bank right?
You can use your debit card anywhere that accepts visa/mastercard. You can even use it at the atm, but there’s a fee of course. I recommend opening a bank account here if you plan to be here for a long time. Both a USD & Gourdes bank account. But if you’re just here for a few months to a year then I would just continue with your US bank account.
@@ruttyb do u get monetized from UA-cam. I love your content. I hope u drop more videos often. Can u do a collabo with lifeinhaiti with Marie. I love her too
Can the trash be burned?
It is! But two days later there’s even more🙈
Sorry I fly into Port-au-Prince what do you suggest on traveling to Cap-Haitien from Port-au-Prince? Thank you
Sunrise Airways….I can’t say I recommend them but that’s the only option😒
@@ruttyb thank you
You can fly with spirit to Cap-Haitien
@@ruthjnt I literally had purchased my ticket this summer on Jetblue before I started watching your videos and I was not aware of Cap-Haitian until I saw the one about Hotel Satama I believe that was a video you made.
@@ruthjnt But thank you
You need a cui and cuillère bois and cruche in your kitchen
Do you do everything by yourself, cleaning, cooking, laundry, errands? I know it's the norm when you live in Haiti you need to have help.
I don’t have a housekeeper. I had one for two weeks when we lived in Puits Blan. But the first case of C19 was revealed two weeks later and everyone stayed at home. We only hired her for cleaning & laundry, not to cook. She was supposed to come 3 times a week for half of a day.
It’s normal here for the housekeeper to live with you. Almost every house we have lived in had a room designated for a housekeeper. But we used that space for something else. I just like to have freedom in my space. If we want to randomly do something no one needs to see or hear then we can. But when someone is in your space 24/7 it’s kinda awkward to me.
Remind me the good foods off maman …Appetissante
That dragged my attention. Once I seen about Okap, Haitian/American Surname Manigat. Leslie Manigat general francios manigat. IF ppl know about the Haitian revolution us Manigat okap. Cap Haitian
What kind of work do you and your husband do in Haiti to be able to afford to rent a house?
Lol this is kinda funny but I won’t take it the wrong way. I am a program coordinator & my husband is a record producer, sound engineer & designer.
Sorry, I was just curious because I know it's very hard to find a good job in Haiti.
❤
Loll 😂😂😂...
I thought you lived in Au Cap au Cap not Plaisance 😅By the way I went to Au Vap beginning of the Mon 2-9. Very bad experience. As a native I was shocked to see how dirty and disorganized the city has become. But definitely want to come back again not waiting as long as I did.. my time before that was May2018
Please let me know what internet service you use because I couldn't get any good signal in cité du peuple even Vaudreuil 😅
On my way back I felt a certain way of all these youngters travelling to the US with the thoughts they will never ne back..When I left Haiti in 2014 even with my residency I was sad so it disheartening to see how your people gave up on yhe country 😢
I don’t live in Plaisance, I live in Cap-Haitien. I was responding to a comment left on the video about why I decided to move to Okap. In the video I mentioned that Okap is just temporary for us until we finalize everything in Plaisance. I added the link to the video in the description box. It’ll make more sense after you watch it. We have Starlink for internet. It’s awesome! No issues at all.
@@ruttyb Oh ok. Understand. Yeah hopefully I can have that internet service setup at home. I did roaming and got charged 10 bucks a day for nothing 😔.
Thank you for sharing your experiences and thoughts with us. Continue your great work. We can't give up on the country 😔
Do you eat/like pitimi??
I like it! But only eat it when other people make it.
@@ruttyb ohh ok 😂, I feel like I barely see Haitians eat pitimi lol
Is there a mailing system in Haiti? How does it work? Last time I went to Haiti was 2009 but as expected, I didn’t see any mailboxes.
My friend mailed me a card from Maryland through USPS so it went through Haiti’s postal service. It took 5 months to get the letter. The guy who delivered it claimed he came to our house several times to deliver it lol. A mailing system exist, but it isn’t efficient.
You should consider using either UPS or FedEx for faster delivery service( between 2 & 3 days).
I told her to send it through DHL. But she was confused. I didn’t even know Haiti had a postal service to be honest.
I want to live in Haiti so bad you make it look so easy 😊 but you know the pressure especially now people are looking like really?? Don’t go you’ll die 🤦🏽♀️ ACTUAL HAITIANS ARE THE MAIN ONES SAYING DONT GO to foreigners too and it’s sad
Get a spatula so you can get it all.😊
why don't you open a business that can provide you what you need? not only will you get what you need; also, other people can benefit from it?
The door to grace is open, so let's take advantage of it to draw closer to our Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
John, 3:16 - For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
You don’t have a bonne? To cook and clean ?
Nope!
Why don't u like living in cap haitien?
The city isn’t managed properly so it gets really frustrating. There are roads that have been under construction for over 5 years, crazy traffic, majorrrrrr sanitation issues, any little rain & it floods, etc.
@@ruttybwhere do you think your moving next? Back to petionville?
Go back to your republic of Port-au-Prince we are OK in our beautiful city Cap-Haitian
😂😂😂😂
What about kenscoff? I was told it's very nice and it mimics the states when it comes to finding what you need.
Yup, it’s in the West Department. Very close to where I lived, just higher up in the mountain.
I want to move to Haiti 🇭🇹 from charlotte but I’m trying to figure out is it still safe?
How is the war and state of emergency effecting you?
