What's the difference between Where You Want To Be & Out of the Ordinary?

When we first launched Where You Want To Be in 2003, we were like 2 kids in a candy store.
Sure, it was hard work but for us, it was so much fun creating all those cool adventures. Then when Out of the Ordinary came along in 2015, that was a game changer when the two companies merged.

All of a sudden, people were asking "What's the difference between the two companies?" While it may seem like a simple question on the surface, it actually caused us to stop and really ask ourselves What's so special about each company and more importantly, why should people care?  To this day, people still ask us what's the difference so because of that, here's how we see it. 




Out of the Ordinary creates high energy Team Building GAMES like Team Olympics, Survivor and Charity Bike Builds.  Think wildly competitive and ridiculously FUN team challenges. OOO offers 40 + Team Building programs, so there's lots of cool options!  In case you're thinking "but I'm not athletic," don't worry. We practice "Challenge by Choice" and our goal is to NEVER make anyone feel uncomfortable, so we take extra care in creating activities for all fitness levels.

Where You Want To Be specializes in unique Team Building EXPERIENCES. In fact, our goal is to give you a life experience so memorable, that you'll say "I'm exactly where I want to be!"  Because we're all about showcasing "secret San Diego spots," all of our experiences take place in areas that are "off the beaten path."  You know, places where the locals hang out!

While our signature product (and most requested!) is still our Urban Challenge Scavenger Hunt,  some of our other innovative experiences include our Good Deeds Bus Experiment, Wellness Walks and Arts Alive. All of these experiences not only feature hidden areas, they focus on "building up" teams, so expect lots of good facilitation and takeaways.

Thanks for spending time with us.  Until we meet again...

Life is an adventure!

It's hard to believe that it's already August. How did that happen? It seems like it was just yesterday we all were sharing our New Year's resolutions. But here it is, late August and before you know it, the kids will be back in school and summer will be over. We can almost hear some of you groaning at this very thought!

But let's be honest. When you live in San Diego, summer is never really over. After all, we live in paradise and the weather is beautiful, year round.  For us, we especially love our balmy 72-degree weather because it's a perfect fit for what we do: creating unique Team Building Experiences.


We launched Where You Want To Be back in 2003 and since then, our programs have evolved. But this year, we've taken it to a whole new level as we've expanded our offerings and we're super excited! Our goal? To give you a life experience so memorable, you can't WAIT to come back for more. 

While our ever popular Urban Challenge Scavenger Hunts continue to be our signature product, we've added some very cool and innovative experiences like our Wellness Walks and  
Outdoor Meetings. The idea behind these new offerings allows us to show off 
"hidden San Diego spots" (which is what we're known for) while incorporating takeaways that will help strengthen your team.  



For example, Bridging the Gap is a unique experiential team bonding activity that gets your people talking and brainstorming together.  And to make it even more unique, our experienced guides/facilitators will walk you across 5 beautiful bridges, that serve as metaphors to the importance of "bridge building." 

If you want to engage your team but your time is limited (say you only have about 1 hour?), there's our fun Creative Ice Breakers  which can be used to either kick off your meeting OR at the end of the day, to energize your team after a long day of meetings.  For those who prefer to explore the city while getting in a little bit of exercise, you may want to check out our Rise & Shine Running Tour.

While we happily could go on & on about all our newly created experiences, the best way to get the low down is by checking out our new website!  We can be found at www.wheretours.com 
Thanks for spending time with us.  


Until we meet again...   

Happy Travels!
