Explore the World with Fluffy
Meet our travel mascot, Fluffy H. Nijdam! Fluffy is a small, adventurous leopard plushie who is traveling the world one step at the time! Just a small leopard in a big world, the tiny explorer has been traveling for over 10 years. From undiscovered Europe to the jungles of Kalimantan, Fluffy strapped on his bite-sized backpack to lead a life of adventure.
Fluffy started out life as an actor, playing himself in the feature film Eight (2008). Cheeky and full of life, he dreamed of a life of excitement. During the summer of 2010, he packed his backpack, ordered his humans to buy him a train ticket and was soon off to see the world. Since then, Fluffy has traveled to over 400 destinations in more than 50 countries, earning himself the nickname “The Bite-Sized Backpacker”…
