  • Dress modestly and respectfully, particularly in urban areas. Treat all locals with respect and equality. Always ask permission before taking photos of people, and avoid focusing solely on areas of visible neglect. Learning basic Haitian Creole phrases is appreciated. Remain patient, as local pace of life can be slower. Offer help (such as water or food) to guides and drivers.
