It can be difficult to blend in with the local community when you grew up in a different environment. For our first podcast episode, we chatted with Lisa, a communications advisor and a strong women’s advocate.

Even though Lisa has been based in Hong Kong for the past years, Lisa is the embodiment of a global citizen with whom many of you may feel a kinship. Half Thai, half Chinese, Lisa spent most of her childhood in Chiang Mai, Thailand, where she went to an international school and a melting pot of many cultures.

During the podcast, Lisa shared her story of finding her place in Hong Kong society and creating opportunities for herself. If you’re feeling lost or struggling to find your niche in a new environment, this episode is for you.
