Anders Olsson, Höllviken. Age: 51. Malmö Södra Rotary Club |
|
During
20 years I was
the owner and CEO of Berndt Johnsson Papper AB, a paper wholesale
company in Malmö, in the southern part of Sweden. I sold the company in
2002 to spend more time with my family, to travel as well as to think
about new projects. I
still own the plant where my old company is located. Since I always have
been interested in real estate, design and construction I started
investing in some lots in the new and popular West Harbour in Malmö. As
a real estate developer I have built family homes and condominiums. I
would like to meet with people who work in the same field in Florida. As
a consultant I’m working as a coach for future business leaders and
family owned companies. I help them with the continuity from one
generation to the next, the problems concerning the fairness among the
children for not only the ones taking over but also the ones not taking
over the company. I’m interested to see if there is someone in the
district 6930 who works with something similar. I’m
also on several boards of directors. As
an open minded person, I communicate and socialise with people at ease.
In my spare time I like to be around family and friends, travel, spend
some time at the fitness club, swim and downhill skiing in the winter. I
like nature and hiking. I am a hunter as well. I have a big interest in
cars and motorcycles. I’m playing some golf but so far I’m not very
successful. I
have also spent some time in Hollywood, Florida for many years as my
sister in law lives there with her family and we ourselves have a house
there since 8 years ago. I’m
looking forward to se more of Florida, more of different companies and
learn more of the communities, meet people, and make new friends in the
Rotary spirit. |

Anna-Frida Jönsson, Brantevik. Age: 26. Executive designer Sponsoring Club: Hammenhög RC |
| At
the age of 22 I felt ready to do something different. It was time for me
to try something really tough – the dream to start my own business. So
2002 the story of Fridas Grafiska began. Fridas Grafiska is a design
agency that provides various companies with information and advertising
products such as logotypes, brochures, magazines, business cards, web
sites and newspaper ads and so on.
My
intentions with this trip are to grow in my role as employer, designer
and person. I would like to follow the work flow, study the technique
and look at the graphic programs they use in big and small companies
similar to Fridas Grafiska. Another
dream that I have is to create a ”house of business” in my home
village Simrishamn. I want to do this because I’m very interested in
professional networks and communities. It would be nice to see how this
is working in Florida. Finally
DESIGN… I want to investigate what differences there are between
Swedish and American design, and if so how it appears in newspapers,
shop window displays, logotypes and so on. Most of my spare time I spend with my fiancée and with our families and friends. I love to take walks in the nature and I’m very interested in animals. I have two cats and a dog. I like to cook, read magazines about design and interior decoration and go shopping. |

Ulf Liljefors, Nyhamnsläge. Age: 36. Maintanance Manager Sponsoring Club: Höganäs-Kullen RC |
|
Education:
Senior High school Engineer 1986 - 1990 I
joined Höganäs Energi AB in April 1999 as a project engineer. Höganäs Energi
is a municipally owned company who owns the electrical and opto mains in the
municipal. Today I
am manager for the project department and for the service
and maintenance department. In
Florida I would like to visit companies who own electrical and/or opto mains to
see how they are thinking with regards to building new or rebuilding existing
mains. I would also like to get an insight into how the authorities rule the
power supply in USA, to see the difference between Sweden and USA. I’m
also curious to see how they have built weatherproof electrical mains
considering how exposed Florida is during the hurricane season. I’m
a cheerful, calm and steady person who likes challenges in both my work and
private life. I’m an old swimmer who sometimes goes swimming just for exercise,
otherwise my hobbies are golf, our house maintenance and just being with my
family. Every year we travel to Austria for downhill skiing. Other sports I have
practiced more or less are sports you practice in water such as sailing and
water skiing. We have had our own sailing boat but a few years ago we sold it
because we had no time for sailing. I
look forward to living with a host family to get to know these people and take
part in how the usual way of life is in Florida. |

Caroline Aspinge, Malmö. Age: 31. Police Officer Sponsoring Club: Malmö Södra RC |
|
Education: 1996-1999: Law Studies, Lund University 2001-2003: Police Academy, Stockholm. 2005-2006: Forensic psychology,
Kristianstad University Work: In January 2003 I
joined the police force in Malmö. I started as a patrolling police, but
were quite soon drafted to an investigation team, mostly working with robbery.
I stayed in this team for more than a year before I went on to work with
more serious, violence and sexual crimes. During this time I also helped
out on different educations for chief officers, where I mainly lectured
about interrogation methods. I’ve also been working as a lecture at the
Police Academy, where my main topics were law and methods of investigation.
Right now, I’m having the benefit of self being a student since I’ve
been selected to a national education for 6 months to become a leader of
investigation, which end in Feb. 2007. USA: I’ve mainly been
working with investigation and education since I have a special interest
in these kind of police work. During my stay I would like to join an
investigation colleague during a interrogation situation, hear about your
methods of interrogation and investigation, join a patrol during their
work and if it’s possible it would be very interesting to see or hear
about your Police Academy. These are only some examples, though I find
almost all kind of police work interesting. Caroline: I’m very interested in sport and other activities. I’ve been competing in sailing, skiing (down-hill), soccer, floor ball etc. for several years, but nowadays it’s just hobbies. During the summer time I spend as much time as I can at my parents' house in Stockholm's archipelago with sailing, water-skiing, sun bathing etc. Even during the rest of the year I try to spend time outdoors, go to a fitness centre, play floor ball twice a week with friends and colleague etc. As a person I’m easy-going, open minded and friendly. I look forward to spending time with the host families and get to know your way of living. If there would be any spare time, I´d like to spend time by the ocean and see your nature. |

Stina Adielsson, Lund. Age: 30. Physiotherapist Sponsoring Club: Lund Kloster RC |
|
I have
been working as a physiotherapist since I took my degree at Lund university
almost seven years ago. At present I work at the department of orthopedics, and
also with sports related injuries. At the Hospital of
Hässleholm we are specialised in hip, knee and shoulder surgery. Here I
meet all kinds of people but most elder people who’ve had a lot of pain before
surgery. It’s often even more pain immediately after a surgery and therefore
it could be a challenge to get these motivated to start rehabilitate. The end
result is almost always very good and I strongly feel that my daily work make a
positive difference. In my
spare time, but also at the hospital, I lead different kinds of keep-fit
activities, such as strength training, fitness classes and box-training. I love
this and it really gives me a lot of joy. To
enhance my career opportunities and to widen my perspectives in general I’m
now attending an academic course in leadership, marketing and business
administration. I hope this will give me a great deal of knowledge and
experience to help me further in my career and personal development. In
Florida I would like to visit a hospital specialised in orthopaedic surgery to
see what the rehabilitation is like in America. It would also be interesting to
visit some primacies institute, a clinic for sports related injuries and of
course all kind of fitness centres! I
spend a great deal of my spare time at the fitness centre, but also with my
boyfriend, friends and family. I’m interested in reading, cooking, cultures
and people. I’m curious by nature and I love to get to know new kinds of
people and cultures. I’m really looking forward to spending time in a new country and to really live close to the people there. This is a great opportunity and I will do everything to learn a lot and to share a positive and true picture of our great nation in America |
