On this episode I spoke with Tom Allwright, who shares his story of inspiring others with his adventures, and how he became a game changer.

Tom played AFL for the Geelong Cats before succumbing to an injury, which forced him to retire. This could be seen as an unfortunate story, but speaking with Tom, it’s proof of how you can turn your life around into an awesome adventure of following your passion.

We were lucky to have the opportunity to speak with Tom, as before he left Australia for Nepal, to open a school that his team had built after it was severely damaged from the earthquake in 2015.

Tom started Adventure Abroad to inspire people to get up and do the things that inspire them. He imparts this desire by providing a platform for unique adventure opportunities and experiences.

Tom grew up on a small farm in central Tasmania, where he’d always had a passion for sport. He enjoyed rowing through high school and was selected to represent Tasmania before being drafted into his favourite AFL team, the Geelong Cats. Consecutive knee injuries cut short Tom’s dream of playing AFL in 2010. During this time, he also completed his Commerce and Law degree.

While Tom was studying, he started a health and fitness business in Melbourne. This is where he found a passion for adventure travel.

At the age of 26, Tom set up his first office in his grandma’s spare bedroom and founded Adventure Abroad. Now, Adventure Abroad are partnered with some of the world’s leading brands.

Tom provides purpose with many of his quirky adventure expeditions by linking in with charity organisations from around the world to raise funds for a common goal. Adventure Abroad aim to help raise in excess of $1,000,000.00 in 2019.

The success of Adventure Abroad, which includes having a long lunch at the North Pole, driving tuk tuk's through the Himalaya's in India (with celebrity guests) and forging partnerships with global luxury brands has not happened by chance.

Every quarter, Tom sits down and writes 5 goals that he wants to achieve in both personal life and also in business.
Tom has completed two Ironman events, five marathons and led expeditions all around the world with this format.

Tom lives in Hobart, Australia.

You will certainly be inspired by Tom’s drive and enthusiasm, in achieving his goals.
