Port Au Prince - Post Report Question and Answers

Is it easy to make friends with locals here? Are there any prejudices or any ethnic groups who might feel uncomfortable here?

I have not found it easy to meet people outside of the Embassy at all. The local staff are very nice and good to work with but I don't generally hang out with them after work. Their lives are just so different than the American staff especially during the worsening insecurity. - Aug 2019


I found the Haitians I worked with on an official level to be quite nice but had few local friends. Again, the tendency to circle the wagons prevents these sorts of interactions to a degree. - Jun 2019
