Hi, my name is Niko Mikael Toom and I work as a firefighter in Finland. I love to travel, get to know new people, share ideas, experience exotic things and spread kindness around the world. Both of my parents are deaf, so in the addition of finnish and english, I also get along by using finnish sign language.

The sea refuses no river

This is like my little window to the world, and every minute's a different show. I may not understand it. I may not even necessarily agree with it. But I'll tell you what I've accepted: just sort of glide along. You want to keep things on an even key, this is what I'm saying. You want to go with the flow. The sea refuses no river. The idea is to remain in a state of constant departure while always arriving. It saves on introductions and goodbyes.
