Travel Diary: Haiti Part 5

The final pictures I have of this amazing trip! We visited two forts, Fort Jacques and Fort Alexandre. Fort Jacques had an amazing view of the city as well which was used to see if attackers were coming. Fort Alexandre was actually never finished but was cool little space where kids go to play. 

I hope you enjoyed my many pictures of my trip to Haiti. I have way more than this but didn't want to flood you all with them. If you want to see more pictures follow me on Instagram at kristinedillon. 

I also just want to leave with you something I took away from this trip. Haiti is a third world country so you have the rich and the poor but no in between. The poor do in fact live very poor. Some even live off of $1.25 a day. Imagine that, living off of only $1.25 a day!

Learning this fact has pushed me to try my hardest 24/7 and complain less because people truly have it worse off than I.

P.S. I am raising money to be able to study abroad in Rome this coming August 2017. I have raised $200 so far, but am still very far away from my goal. I know it may seem like I am spending significant amounts of money but my friends family is very kind enough to pay for my stay and for that I am super grateful. So, if you would not mind sharing my link or even donating $5 I can reach my goal in no time. Thanks so much!

Travel Diary: Haiti Part 4

One thing I was able to see and understand was the history of how the people of Haiti and how Haiti came to be what it is today. They have a great museum that you should visit if you get the chance to go called, Museo National de Haiti. We also visited a nice little cafe on the grounds of the museum. That night we had dinner at Observatoire Bar and Restaurant which gives an amazing view of the city of Port-au-Prince.

What are some of your favorite museums where you are from? Comment below your city/country so I can check it out on my next adventure.

Travel Diary: Haiti Part 3

I absolutely love farms and while in Haiti I got to go to one. My friends family is currently building a farm in Léogâne and we got to visit the site. Studying Architecture I was so excited to go see how the construction was going. Farms and construction sites are two of my favorite things! Put them together and I am in heaven. Here are some pictures of my form of heaven.

If you know of any farms that are fun, drop them in the comments so I can visit them on my next traveling adventure.

Travel Diary: Haiti Part 2

We spent two days at a lovely resort; the Royal Decameron Indigo Beach Resort & Spa. It was nice to relax by the ocean and just leisurely read, sip on fresh coconut milk and soak in the sun.
