These are pictures taken from the year I was an exchange student from Uppsala University, Sweden, to Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. The upper section of the photos are from a U.S. trip that I took with Håkan a friend of mine, and my brother Stefan. Håkan is a good photographer and he took several of these photos. We drove around the entire U.S in a old rusty clunker, an Oldsmobile cutless supreme, called the Swede Mobil. I also met my wife Claudia towards the end of the year. The photos further down are from the previous part of the year, and includes adventures and travels while still being an exchange student at Case Western Reserve University. We were six Swedes, me, Göran Ericsson, Jonas Olsson, Anders Grönqvist, Per Jonasson, and Linda Södergren. We spent one year at Case Western Reserve University, and we made several new friends. See below. Before we went to Cleveland, Göran and I visted a Swedish friend of mine in Los Angeles, her name was Rakel Gunnarson. During this year I visted/lived in Ohio, Toronto, Texas, Louisiana, Colorado (skiing), Florida, Washington DC, New York, Niagara Falls, California, Nevada, Grand Canyon, and much more.
