I haven’t been back to Haiti since 2008 😢 unfortunately, all I see in the news is devastation and destruction which is why I love watching vlogs of ppl living their best lives in Haiti 🇭🇹 ❤️

[@plymakkayestudio1827]

keep in mind that Port Au Prince IS NOT HAITI only a part of Haiti, all the other parts of Haiti are FINe like OKAP is booming now

I love Cap-Haitian. I did my internship at Justinien University Hospital. I was a happy primary care physician in Petionville before the great exodus as I call it. Now I am a stay at home mom in Miami :).

[@diachiwest1804]

explain the exodus to me please

Thanks! Cap-Haitien is a little rough cause the city isn’t managed well. It’s okay when visiting but living here gets really annoying😩 I’ll talk about it more in future vlogs.

How do you receive deliveries in Okap?

[@rnforlife16]

I feel like crying 😢 I want to live there

[@victoriaj4272]

I always enjoy your videos because I feel like I'm riding in the car with you or I'm walking with you. I've never been to Haiti, (really want to visit) but I feel like I know so much from your videos. My favorite part of traveling is going to the non tourist parts of town where I can get an authentic feel and vibe for the city I'm in. That's what I get when I watch your videos. The vibe of where you live now seems more peaceful.

[@blackmac500]

You're doing a great service for Haiti the news would like people too think it's just like the Garza strip, except with Black people

[@christinelafontant3138]

Welcome back! Missed you and your informative videos. I do have some questions: In Cap Haitian as a woman are you able to either walk or drive without fear? Is there a functioning hospital? Are there honest real estate agents to help find homes to buy or rent? Please let me know at your earliest convenience. Thank you ❤

[@ruttyb]

Okap is safe for everyone, men and women. I don't really like to drive here cause of the roads and traffic, but I go out on my own when I need to. There are many real estate agents here, but inventory is very low. They'll help you search but most of the places they show are subpar. There are hospitals here, but with anywhere in Haiti you're not guaranteed service.

[@christinelafontant3138]

@@ruttyb Thank you so much for your prompt response 😘

[@jeannemorose6657]

$170 for a twin mattress is too much

[@ruttyb]

Yeah I looked online and was shocked😳. That’s why I rarely buy anything here. Everything is expensive.

[@ermithevictor5641]

Hello dear, I watched your videos and really enjoyed them. Can you please provide some information about how to rent a place in Cap Haitian? I’ll greatly appreciate your help.

[@ruttyb]

It’s very hard finding a place in Okap. We searched for months. There aren’t many realtors that post properties on instagram or have websites, like the ones in Port-au-Prince. We searched on Facebook marketplace to find realtors based in Okap & asked friends for references. We looked on Google, but found very few properties. There were 4 or 5 different realtors helping us.

[@RachelEmmanuel-w3g]

Happy new year. Keep up the great work you are doing. Be bless and be safe in Jesus name.

[@ladybug3380]

I want to buy a house in Haiti. Which areas are safe?

[@ruttyb]

I wouldn't recommend buying a house in any area you aren't familiar with. If you have to ask what areas are safe then I don't think you're ready to buy a house here.

[@ladybug3380]

I have the same oil absorbing sheets I bought from Amazon 😊

[@anijade29]

$170 usd is amazing even if it wouldn’t feel good. I live in Canada, got a cheaper quality mattress $600 and after less than 2 years, I have no choice but change it for a better quality one $900+ because my back is done

[@ruttyb]

Twin size that price!?!?!

[@frescobrooks2738]

I just stumble to your vlog which i enjoy watching. What's pushed you making this decision moving there? And was it an easy decision? I grew up in nyc now living in SC and i'm giving it a great consideration of moving somewhere in the northern part of Haiti more specifically Fort liberte, Môle saint Nicolas or maybe Jacmel.

[@medjina12]

I was born and raised in fort-liberte and honestly perfect area to move to

Renting…but it’s really hard to find a decent place in Okap. There aren’t too many options here. There were 4 or 5 realtors helping us. It took 3 months & 3 trips to Okap to find something.

A regular house might be between $4000 to $6000 USD per year. But a “modern” house (Okap standards) can range from $1,000 to $2,500 USD per month 😅
