Host Elizabeth Tiglao-Guss and her husband Victor recount their Baja, Mexico trip to a bay where gray whale mothers and calves approach boats to be petted, a rare experience they booked two years in advance after discovering it through The Bucket List Family. They describe the long, all-day overland journey from San Diego, the remote cabin accommodations, early-morning boat outings among hundreds of whales, and close interactions including spy-hopping, breaching, bubble-blowing, and mothers nudging calves toward the boat; Elizabeth shares an emotional first touch that moved her to tears. They also traveled to Bahía de Los Ángeles to look for humpbacks and blue whales, saw a blue whale, dolphins, and a humpback tail-slapping near their boat, and reflect on how wildlife travel shifts perspective, highlights childfree flexibility, and can be done via groups for singles or those with hesitant partners.Welcome Back VictorWhy Baja WhalesBooking And FreedomThe Long Trek SouthDaily Boat ItineraryWhales EverywherePetting Puppy DogsMoms Teaching CalvesFirst Touch TearsFeeling Fully AliveHow It Changed UsWildlife Healing TripsNature Shifts PerspectiveBaja Bay HoppingBlue Whales and HumpbacksHumpback Tail SlapsRemote Nights and CabinsFreedom to Travel ChildfreeConvincing a Hesitant PartnerAdventure Starts NearbySolo Women and Retreat GroupsNext Trips and Final TakeawayWhether you’re in the thick of grief or finally starting to feel like yourself again, there’s a name for where you are and a roadmap waiting for you.bychanceavenue.com/roadmapConnect with Elizabeth:IG: @bychanceavenueStay connected & up to date with all things By ChanceWant to share your story?
