LiU alumni around the globe:
Lena Olofsson, Egypt

Place of residence: Cairo
Family: Husband Sameh and a bunch of cats
Work: Tourism, mostly in Egypt. Since 1999; I have been the Director of Scandinavia & The World (great name or what!), which means that I am the production and sales manager for Scandinavia and the northern hemisphere.
Best thing about the job: Variety, travel and freedom.
Current activities: Struggling to arrange travel to Egypt following the revolution. Take the opportunity to visit Egypt now! Fantastic prices and get to see the attractions almost by yourself.
Hobbies: Exercising, reading.
Pros and cons of living in Cairo: On the plus side, there is the weather, the country’s fantastic sights and the people. On the down side are the traffic and the difficulties that arise when 20 million people live in a fairly small area.
Education: International Economy, with a focus on German.
Good memories from the studies: Song and music (I was chairman of the song group LiHtösen for several years). Life in the halls of residence, our Sunday dinners and, last but not least, how awesome it was to study full time.
