Expats, digital nomads and retirees living in Haiti responded:
"Expats and digital nomads in Haiti often appreciate the country's vibrant culture, friendly people, and stunning natural beauty. They also enjoy the low cost of living, which allows them to stretch their budget further. On the other hand, they may find the lack of reliable infrastructure and services to be a challenge.
