Taryn is the best at what she does - caring for her students and creating enriching programming in Ireland that promotes personal growth and development while keeping it fun. I wish this program was available when I was in high school so I could attend myself!jaiden toth2023-01-31I traveled with the ILE back in 2013, and transformative is putting my experience lightly. This was my first international travel, and from that point on, my life was forever evolved. I now work in the travel industry, my best friends are some of the people I met ten years ago, and I found my true passion. I believe every child needs to be presented with an international experience, to see what the world has to offer. I wouldn't trust another group more than the ILE.Jaiden Toth2023-01-31I traveled with the ILE back in 2013, and transformative is putting my experience lightly.
