Episode 11

Lisa Andrighetto: Golden Retriever Personality, Bachata/Kizomba Instructor, Dominant Hair, Colorblind (Not in the way that you think)

In this episode, I interview my pal Lisa. I also occasionally just call her hair; just take a look at the picture.

I met Lisa at a dance festival in Chiang Mai, but it wasn’t until I moved to Bangkok that we became good friends, and even dance co-teachers. Her first words to me were “I’m not a bitch, I swear!” so it was obvious that this friendship was going to blossom. When I first moved to Thailand, I had a list of goals, for example find a social circle, find a Thai tutor, etc. One of the other goals was to organize bachata events and possibly teach in Bangkok, and we completely bonded over that similar ambition because we moved here around the same time.

Lisa teaches dance and is a personal trainer, which means she spends her entire life in yoga pants. Mark my words, she will probably be one of the most well known dancers in Asia in a couple of years.

Lisa is a golden retriever. That means she is relentlessly positive, cheerful, and sweet to everyone she meets, and we discuss why that’s a double-edged sword sometimes in her life. We also talk about red flags in dating, the fancy new words she learned from her past relationship, beauty standards in asia, and the unique dance scene in Thailand. Thanks, Lisa!
