Allen-Allen is regarded as one of the greatest American players of all time. A native of Samoa, Allen-Allen came to prominence as a three time All-American for the University of Hawai’i.

Nick-named the “A-Bomb’ for his explosive style of play, Allen led UH to its first #1 ranking in the nation. At the completion of his career, Allen ranked first in Kills, Kill Average, Kill Attempts, Block Solos, Digs and Dig Average. With a game-changing, hybrid style of play Allen represented the epitome of what has come to be known as the ‘Flyin’ Hawaiian’ style of play that has earned the University multiple National Championships.

Allen then moved on to play with the National team for 4 years and went on to play professionally in the FIVB Beach Volleyball Series, the European Professional Volleyball League, and the Bud-Light Professional Volleyball League. Allen officially retired from professional competition in 1998. Allen's coaching career started in 1993 when he was an assistant coach with his alma mater for one year. Two years later in 1995, Allen became the head coach for the Samoan men's and women's National Team. He went on to become the head women's volleyball coach at Alliant University in San Diego, Calif., before founding the Allen Allen Club Volleyball in 2004. Allen helmed Alliant for three seasons (2003-2005) and then became the Assistant Coach at Gonzaga University.

Allen Allen is the Director of Coaches and Athletes Development for u10-u15 for Renovators Volleyball Club in Spokane, WA. He is also the trainer for u12-u14 for Club 684 in American Samoa.

Serving as Island Fests travel advisor. Anchulee background is in group meetings and events for various corporations. I planned logistics for their incentive trips, meetings, and conferences all over the world. At the same time, I have always had an interest in leisure travel. Island Fest is both!

My first time on an airplane was at 6-years old. That experience began my love of travel. Now, I work as an Independent Travel Advisor with Montecito Village Travel, a member of Virtuoso. Because I started traveling at such a young age, it helped me to see the world and its endless possibilities. It's my privilege to help people curate their dream travel experience.
