Not Your Typical Tourist

A Life Between Two Countries, And All In Between

All In Between

Quintessentially Berlin: Ampelmann

Ampelmann. One of the reasons why Berlin is my kind of city, vs. Munich. There is a creative energy to this city.

The featured image I used for this post reminds me of Ampelmann, but was not the real thing. The imagery was so strong, that ZE and I were seeing Ampelmann everywhere!

Little man wearing a hat says it’s ok to walk

Little man says stop
 A pedestrian traffic light with human element to it. I so want to replicate this idea!

There were so many Ampelmann merchandises, but I didn’t see anything that I like nor need. But it’ll always be embedded in my heart …

Buy experience, not things!

Check out the Ampelmann video here.

Not Your Typical Tourist

A passionate advocate for independent and solo travel, I traded life in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, for the vibrant streets of Bangkok, Thailand. This shift is all thanks to a "chance encounter" in 2009 that led to marriage with my Thai husband. I currently split my time between Bangkok (my main base) and Kuala Lumpur for family—documenting the unique blend of a Malaysian life lived abroad.
