Glad to learn that the International Federation of Psoriasis Associations, where I until recently served as Executive Director, has been named International Association of the Year in the International and European Association Awards based on nominations from during my tenure.

@suhaibs66 Thank you and likewise!

My 100th #kayaking trip was also the moment where I reached the target of my first 1000 km paddled in a #kayak! Naturally, I put together my 100th video on the Air On The Water channel... #itiwitX500 #itiwit #advancedelements #kokopelli #inflatablekayak https://t.co/YNxgIQ5ZBS

Hit 80 #countriesvisited with #Djibouti, #Africa the other day. #Snorkeling with #whalesharks must be one of the most special experiences of all travels! I and friends were lucky to see and follow more than half a dozen. Seen in this video... https://t.co/bZukzqqOaz

@DjiboutiEgypte Oh! Thank you very much :-)

[Patrik Vuorio @PatrikVuorio]

@Westraid Hehe, yes, be nice to GJ! I upload a lot of Itiwit X500 to my channel by the way ( https://t.co/r4eFHLhRSe ). Feel free to subscribe if you'd like to follow the adventures and stay in touch! Are your X500 clips available on Youtube somewhere or just on Twitter?

[Patrik Vuorio @PatrikVuorio]

@Westraid Looks like a good solution! Maybe use one of the straps of the bag and secure it over instead of under the bag, and clip the camera onto the strap?

[Patrik Vuorio @PatrikVuorio]

@Westraid Usually I use a GoPro crocodile clip which moves a bit when attached to the handle either front or back, but with GoPro's horizon leveling and the camera aimed slightly high it works well. Alternatively a chest mount or a cap with a GoPro mount on it. 🙂

@Westraid The Greyjoys are used to using sails on their ships on the water, so maybe get one and attach it to your X500 :)

[Patrik Vuorio @PatrikVuorio]

@Westraid I saw a post fly by that you named your Itiwit X500 Greyjoy. Aren't you afraid of catching greyscale? Noneless, check out Greyjoy's cousin here enjoying some waves: https://t.co/ttAQXlXQZ5

Bra initiativ av @Jarfalla_kommun med #Cykelutmaningen i #Järfälla som lyckades lura ut mig på årets första tur. Blev 43km med extra sidospår i terrängen. Råkade på både de tio kontrollerna och gamla + nya vänner på turen. Avslut vid Valborgsfirandet i Skälby. Glad #Valborg alla!

@Forbes Wouldn't it be more appropriate for this to be shared by Fox News?

@pauspling Vet inte om det är tidernas serie, men skådespeleri, skript och dramatik gör det till en klassiker. Sen är det väl ett minne av en svunnen tid där saker och ting var mer principbaserade och mindre ugly. Har tänkt se om hela när jag hinner...

Russia alone is responsible for the death and destruction this attack will bring, and the United States and its Allies and partners will respond in a united and decisive way.

The world will hold Russia accountable.

[Patrik Vuorio @PatrikVuorio]

The Russian aggression and senseless war against Ukraine which has escalated to massive attacks this morning is a shame and a threat to world peace and order. My thoughts are with all those that will be affected by this horror. The global community must respond to this atrocity.

När en restauranggäst får ev hjärtproblem är det smidigt att råka vara två volontärer från frivilliga resursgruppen (FRG) på plats. Instinktivt samspel; bedömning, larm till 112, hämta #hjärtstartare just in case. Gick bra, ambulans tog över. @civilpunktse @FRGSverige @HS_reg

@ArwaJubran Hej Arwa! How good to hear from you. All well here, enjoying an unusually warm Swedish summer (you would call it winter :)) and doing a lot of paddling, biking, and hiking. How are you and the family? I hope you have healed up well after the accident and all is well with you.

Received 1st COVID-19 vaccine injection today. Efficient; a 300m waiting line processed in 10 min! Crowd control processes identical to what we used in large events + how we trained thousands of volunteers in Sanid, the UAE National Emergency Response Program. Felt very familiar!

[Patrik Vuorio @PatrikVuorio]

IFPA comprises ~60 member countries and thousands of functionaries/ #volunteers worldwide, working on behalf of millions of patients. Glad to have been able to help build, expand and modernize the organization and work together with so many dedicated patient advocates globally.

When you leave your previous workplace and your colleagues send you off with wonderful gifts.
