5. Haiti is one of the most creative places I've ever been
I've been studying Haitian dance and music for a while. There's so much art and culture that comes out of that island.

I remember being in the Port-au-Prince airport and fascinated that groups of people waiting on planes would start singing together. Singing seems to be a prevalent part of the culture.

It's heart breaking to see such an amazing place be so hurt.
