I have lived in Djibouti since 2004. My husband teaches at the University of Djibouti and our three children attend school at Dolto and Kesel. I am a freelance writer and love to talk and learn about the Horn of Africa. I have learned to run and to cook while living in Africa. I write about running in Djibouti at runningtimes.com and I wrote a cookbook called Djiboutilicious, all the recipes use only ingredients available in Djibouti and there are also some local recipes.

Hi Rachel Pieh Jones!

i have lived in Djibouti for last 8 months. iam working for a privae company as logistics incharge. I was in Dubai for last 2 years working in a competitive environment with out rest but once i reached djibouti there is no work pressure, lot of leisure time whihc made to me to adapt to the climate of Djibouti. Even though the cost of living is high you can enjoy your stay and work while in Djibouti.I have learned to cook french food which i feel like a great thing.

I am also bothered by the little kids especially girls begging on the streets. Is there a way we can be of help to them culture withstanding?

Hi,I used to work there and agree the children can be a nucense but I always felt sorry for them
