After graduating from law school and a successful career in the internet sector, working for companies like Vivendi Universal, Icemobile, Vodafone and @Home, Suzan Fluitman founded Bearleaders, named after the first travel guides in European history during the Grand Tour in the 17th century. When travelling extensively all over the world, she was always asked for tips by her friends. For that reason, she felt that there was a need for trustworthy independent travel & lifestyle tips from well-travelled people with taste: Michelin-star chefs, artists, designers, hoteliers and more. The Bearleaders of today share their best experiences on where to eat, drink, stay and what to do in easy to use, regularly updated Guides. Bearleaders also creates and promotes Guides in and around hotels filled with tips of tastemakers of hotels. Bearleaders works with the top of the hotel industry like Bayerischer Hof, Principe di Savoia, Anantara hotels, Nordic Hotels etc. Bearleaders was launched just before the pandemic and the world of travel has never been so tumultuous, and interesting. This market requires constant innovation and the latest product for hotels and tastemakers is out: unique experiences hosted by hotels and/or tastemakers. Keep an eye out for exclusive memorable experiences, bookable through Bearleaders.
