Who is Sylvain OULALA ?
Born in France, I graduated with an engineer diploma. However, I realized that office work wasn't the life I wanted. So, I made a radical turn and 10 years ago I moved to Estonia to start a new chapter as a circus performer.
Today, As an adventurous spirit and content creator, I wear multiple hats. From organizing my own festival in Estonia to conquering a 3000 km unicycling journey from France to Estonia. My passion for unique experiences knows no limits and this is only the beginning of my journey.
