 About Matthew Allison

 Matthew Allison is an adventurer, who as of early 2024 after almost 30 years of travel while working full time, has become one of   the only approx. 400 people to visit every   

wilderness, endangered   wildlife and living with tribes and vanishing  cultures. Some of Matthew’s most notable   adventures are cage diving with great white   sharks, piloting a small plane across Baja   Mexico, staying with the Nenet reindeer herders in the Siberian Arctic with temperatures diving to -50 degrees Celsius and tracking a legendary dinosaur like creature called the Mokele Mbembe to a remote lake deep in Republic of Congo rainforest and most recently being one of the first Americans to travel across Taliban controlled Afghanistan. 

Exclusive Opportunity

As part of this lecture SDWAC has partnered with the International Houses at Balboa Park's House of Pacific Relations to create a fun and interactive way to more deeply explore the International Houses! All pre-registered lecture attendees will receive a program "passport" upon arrival and check in at the lecture. Immediately following Matthew Allison's presentation they will be invited to visit the participating Houses to learn more about each country and will receive a "passport stamp" in their program. If you receive a stamp from each participating house you can turn that in to receive an entry to a raffle for a fun travel related prize - a $1,000 airfare gift card!
