Tom Allwright is a keynote speaker and educator who teaches people to think differently. Allwright has used failure as a learning tool and he learnt valuable life lessons at the feet of Mt Everest, through an ordeal he wishes upon no-one. These failures in his life have ultimately turned him into the person he is today, hosting extraordinary events around the world and teaching others how to make all the obstacles in the way of their dreams and goals insignificant.

He grew up in a small rural community in Tasmania. His mother would often need to drive him three hours a day just to go to training, Allwright spent 15 years preparing for an AFL career before he was eventually drafted to the Geelong Cats. During sustained an injury would prevent him from playing anywhere near that level of sport again.

Prior to creating Adventure Abroad, Allwright would be in the Himalayas guiding a group in the footsteps of the world’s tallest peak, Mt Everest. People talk about moments in life, and after a series of events, he found that moment. Obstacles in his way became insignificant, and his life would never be the same.

Since that moment, Allwright has an innate ability to think big, and then make things a reality. He’s hosted Fortune 500 companies, ASX Listed companies and celebrities on different events around the world. He believes normal people can do remarkable things.
