Hey! I'm Sylvain. I'm French but for the last 10 years I've been living in Estonia. You might have seen me juggling knives atop a 3-meter unicycle. I am usually a street performer and have performed all over the world and in every Estonian city with more than 5000 habitants (over 30 cities).

This summer I embarked on one of my most ambitious projects ever – a unicycling journey from France to Estonia. I've taken on this daring adventure to prove that each of us can conquer challenges and attain greatness.

I have two strong motivations to do this trip.

Firstly, it's about connecting my roots in France with the place my heart now calls home – Estonia. I see Estonia as the most stunning country on Earth, and I wish to share its beauty through my eyes with everybody around the world.

Secondly, I'm driven to inspire people to chase their dreams. This summer, I hit the milestone of turning 30. In my twenties, my quest was for freedom, and today, having achieved that, I want to radiate it to everyone around me. Just as you can't really experience happiness in a world full of sadness, I believe you can't truly be free when trapped in the prison of your own mind.

I am currently about halfway through the 3298 km adventure. I will continue pedalling towards Estonia and sharing my experience with everybody through daily vlogs in my social media channels.

Yet, I aspire for my incredible journey to continue its impact, inspiring people indefinitely. This is why I'm aiming to create an extended video series of this expedition. Through this series I aim to share smiles, laughter, and the encouragement to believe in one's dreams with a broader audience and introducing Estonia to the world.

I finance this trip and video series the same way I finance my street shows - I work very hard and give my best to produce top-notch content. I wish to make it accessible for everyone for free. But to do that I need help from the people who can afford it.

So, I'm asking for your help through this Hooandja crowdfunding campaign!

Take this chance to become a part of the adventure by giving me crucial feedback on the video series and being a part of creating it; by becoming a part of my pirate crew obtaining a special sticker set, handmade limited edition tote bag with my pirate logo or super exclusive messenger bag made from the Unicycling home banner!
 

 

The funds raised will help me to continue my journey and share it with all of you. Your support will cover essential expenses like food (read: cheese!), equipment upkeep, repairs, and operational costs. Moreover, it will provide the resources to craft this adventure into a captivating narrative.

My first goal is to gather 1€ for every kilometre between France and Estonia – 3298€

But I always look further than the target and if you want to help me drive this project even further, here are the ways I would bring this to another level.

120% gathered – Upgrade to the filming equipment – drone.
160% gathered – An inspiring TED-talk format program from my adventure for schools' tour around Estonia.
200% gathered – A Murphy-fund for the next epic adventure.

If this project resonates with you and you wish to join me in spreading joy and cultivating a world where people fearlessly chase their dreams, consider making a donation!

Think of it as keeping my jokes rolling and my wheels spinning, all in pursuit of something greater.

Together, let's make it happen!
