Hi there! I am just joining STEEMIT from Haiti and looking forward to being part of this new exciting community! Big up to @chiefmappster who got me to join as i was looking to learn more about cryptocurrency etc....

Well, a bit more about me and Haiti- Contrary to popular beliefs, Haiti is a great place to live!
Im Katyana, I moved back to Haiti 2 years ago because i wanted to get away from the fast life of N.Y- ( I was born in Haiti actually- but moved to N.Y at the age of 16) and mostly because I wanted to feel that i was being part of change while helping my native country. It is not easy- some days i miss the convenience of living in the U.S- we don't even have a movie theatre here. I miss going to the movies sometimes!!! ugh... But then, you get used to it- You come to realize that you can survive with less.

But what makes Haiti so great? it's free- it's wild-it's beautiful-its warm, it's organic, it's raw, its lively, It's unpredictable and more. You learn to care more about people and less about things... You become resilient, you become strong and you become grounded.
I SAY- If you can make it in Haiti, you can make it anywhere! Forget about making it in NY :)

Sometimes the most simple life is the best life. Please take a look at my pictures and you will understand.

So amazing you have found this wonderful place to share your story @kitkt85! What a wonderful place indeed! With your zest for life you will surely have a great time here. There is a huge learning curve I found to get into it. My Older Sister spent almost a year in Haiti years ago and had a profound experience there to say none the least! I'm glad you are back and living life how it's meant to be! I am living in the Mountains and Valleys of BC, Canada! Our new city is 7,500 people! a City. HA! Following you! Keep sending us some stories of abundance, color, culture and zest! Blessings!

How lovely to hear that your sister lived in Haiti- Im sure she fell in love with our lively culture and people. Thank you for your reply. I am truly excited to join this community- Fairly new to it but wish to follow like-minded people. will follow back- Blessings! @egregorian
