Gwangju International Center

  Today we had a Canadian speaker from Toronto, Kristy Dolson, speak to us at the GIC Talk. She spoke to us about the Gwang-ju book club and how it has helped her connect with people. The book club has helped her get more involved with other organizations and clubs as well.

  Kristy would consider herself to be an introvert when she came to Korea four years ago. She didn’t like the atmosphere of smoky, loud clubs, and was looking for other avenues to meet new friends with similar interests.

  The book club allowed her to meet those friends in a comfortable, relaxed setting. The friends that she has met in the book club have provided lasting and fulfilling friendships inside and outside of Korea. Kristy eventually became the leader of the book club, which has required her to explore her extrovert side and become more involved in the community.
