Dress modestly in cities (especially women). Learn basic Haitian Creole phrases. Always request permission before photographing people and avoid documenting poverty or waste. Treat locals with respect, patience, and as equals. Avoid giving money or candy, as this can compromise human dignity. Carry extra food and water to share with guides or drivers.
