About Me

Hi there! I’m Liel, the founder of WHALEAWAY. You know, my journey into travel planning started with this deep, unshakable passion for exploring new places and crafting those unforgettable experiences that make life so rich. That passion? It’s what inspired me to create WHALEAWAY—a space where my mission is simple: to take you away, well away, on tailor-made journeys that speak to your soul.

My Philosophy

I’ve always believed that travel is more than just hopping from one place to another. It’s a pathway to growth, discovery, and those connections that stay with you long after you’ve unpacked your bags. As Hans Christian Andersen so beautifully said, “To travel is to live.” And that’s exactly the philosophy that drives me to design unique, personalized travel experiences just for you. Whether it’s uncovering hidden natural wonders or mapping out the perfect itinerary for your dream adventure, I’m here to turn your travel dreams into reality.

Why WHALEAWAY?

Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been totally captivated by whales. There’s something about their beauty, intelligence, and those awe-inspiring migrations that just speaks to the explorer in me. These majestic creatures embody everything WHALEAWAY is about—exploration, connection, and the thrill of the journey. My passion for scuba diving actually started because I wanted to get closer to these incredible animals, and now, it’s a huge part of my life. The serenity and wonder I feel beneath the waves, surrounded by vibrant marine life, inspired both the name and the mission of WHALEAWAY.

For me, traveling has never been just a hobby. It’s about creating those lasting memories and gaining new perspectives that change how you see the world. I find so much joy in the details, whether I’m planning a trip for my family or crafting a unique experience for a friend. That passion? It’s turned into my life’s work, and now, I’m dedicated to sharing the magic of travel with you through WHALEAWAY.
