About this trip

This pilgrimage back to the last door some of our ancestors crossed on the motherland, is a very special journey which will be filled with emotions, laughs & memories.  As much as we'd love to bring everyone on this epic experience, we KNOW that traveling to some parts of the world where some of the basic necessities we enjoy at home are luxuries, is NOT for everyone!

This trip is "Invite only" because we want to preserve the energy/the vibe we imagined for this trip. If you're the type to complain about anything in a group dynamic---this is not for you. This is also not for you if you need any 1st world amenities : (24/7 electricity, 24/7 running water, Air conditioner etc ). If you cannot get used to unexpected changes, getting in small boats---this is not for you. If you lack patience & have issues with tipping, this is also not for you. You must also be able to secure the Yellow fever vaccine in order to participate on this trip. (There is currently a shortage of this vaccine in the U.S.)

Airport code is "DSS"--Only Delta serves Non-stop flight from NY May 19-25.

This is for you if you easily adjust in social settings, you go with the flow and make the most of any situations, you're comfortable "trooping it" if needs be, you don't have strict dietary needs and you fit in easily everywhere you go.

This was a wonderful trip and introduction to the culture of Puerto Rico. I really enjoyed and learned from the local tour guides. When our trip had to be cut a couple of days short due to weather, Richard made sure all of our flights were changed. I would definitely travel with Haitian Nomad again in the future. Great trip and customer service.

I had a wonderful travel experience with Haitian Nomad it far exceeded my expectations. The Haitian Nomad team was knowledgeable, informative and made everyone feel safe. The itinerary was well planned, and entertaining. I was blown away by the historic temples, monuments, Egyptian calligraphy and delicious foods. Both the hotel and riverboat cruise provided a cozy and inviting atmosphere, not to mention the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and gave exceptional service. I would highly recommend this Egypt trip. It was a great way to explore this area of the world!

This recent trip with Haitian Nomad was / is definitely one for the books. The group of Ladies I traveled with were awesome, the tour guide Fallou was amazing....well let's just say...I almost became part of his family. (LOL) Thank you Haitian Nomad for the experience, the education at Goree Island, and of course more culture. Until my next adventure with Haitian Nomad next month. Peace and Love always to the Haitian Nomad Family. sincerely, J. Monique'

My favorite memory was when I celebrated my 50th birthday all year. During this year, I experienced my first trip to Haiti and Saut-d'eau. I got no picture to share. 🚫 This was a spiritual voyage for me, but I didn’t know it until I experienced it. This trip was also a highlight of my life. Thank you HNM! Congratulations on your success! Donna Marie

My trip to the Amalfi Coast with Haitian Nomad was beyond Excellent. Haitian Nomad exceeded my expectations in quality, organization, and leadership. Richard's leadership qualities and abilities are what you look for when hiring a company hosting trips all over the world with over 20+ participants at one time. The Amalfi Coast was my first trip this past June - and it won't be my last. I enjoyed everything from the beginning - all the way to the end. The accommodations and comradery was great. I have to say that I have met some amazing people that I will continue to build a relationship with. Do not hesitate..... choose a destination and give Haitian Nomad a try..... Happy Traveling.

Let me start off with saying I had a ball on the trip. Toi was the best ambassador she had everything planned out for us. It was a trip that was well needed and I was glad that I took the chance to go half way around the world and I had a blast. Toi gets 200 stars she was the best. I would go on another trip as long as Toi is the ambassador. Toi thank you so much for showing up and showing out the best. I had a blast.
