Don't try to vlog in Djibouti (My experience in the most camera-phobic country I've ever visited) 🇩🇯
From Ethiopia, I headed north to the small nation of Djibouti, perched on the Red Sea & Gulf of Aden directly across from Yemen, on the horn of Africa. I had been so excited to begin my journey here - but my enthusiasm quickly faded when I realized that this is no country for a travel vlogger (I should have known this, given Drew Binsky's experiences here on his trip). Everywhere I turned, I was accosted by unfriendly, aggressive Police officers who resorted to intimidation and bribery in order for me to continue filming my experiences in the diminutive capital of Djibouti City.
The Djiboutian locals that I met were invariably kind and understanding - they being the unfortunate victims of their own corrupt police, which are highly averse to tourism and tourists in general. The constant threats of fines and possible jail time completely ruined my two days in this small nation. I am hopeful that, should the people of Djibouti demand it, the corruption that plagues the nation (and that causes tourists to flee) will be no more, and the nation would be a tourist-friendly haven in the horn of Africa. Until then, this country is best skipped by the solo traveler.
I mean no disrespect to the people of Djibouti - I sympathize with them that you Djiboutians to live in a country where the Police serve to ruin the nation's economy by driving tourism from their country. Please know, these are just my own experiences - others may experience something very different.
