Yampu Tours, a firm in Stowe’s lower village that specializes in world travel, has appointed three new staff members.
Lynn Espey will handle Yampu’s marketing. She developed a love for travel when she did a semester at sea in college and traveled around the world, visiting Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, Indonesia, India, Sri Lanka, Egypt, Greece and Spain. Additional travel took her throughout Europe, the UK and South America for both business and pleasure. She feels lucky to live and raise her children in Stowe, where she is surrounded by beautiful views.
Louise Rainbird from Swindon, England, has been named a senior travel consultant, addressing the needs of the UK and European market. While her focus is on Europe, she also plans custom itineraries for people from all over the world. She caught the travel bug at age 9, when she visited the U.S. on a family holiday. She has spent 20 years in the travel industry, and has traveled all over the world. She loves skiing, arts and crafts, different cultures, exotic cooking classes and local markets.
Mary Bergan has been named a senior travel consultant. She grew up in Vermont, moved to Seattle 18 years ago, and now considers herself a Pacific Northwesterner. A trip to Micronesia got her interested in adventure travel, and she has since been to Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands, Chile and Easter Island, and many other places — six continents in all, including Antarctica. She hopes to get to the seventh, Africa, in the next five years. She enjoys hiking, biking, wine tasting and wandering around Seattle.
