Hailing from Polson, Montana, Taryn was bitten by the travel bug at an early age. At sixteen, she had the opportunity to participate in a summer study abroad program in Ireland. After graduating from college, Taryn served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Kyrgyzstan. Before being evacuated after 9/11, she worked in a small Muslim village teaching English to 5-11 graders. Upon returning to the States, she decided she needed a change of pace and moved to Ireland for a year, where she immersed herself in the tiny town of Camlough, County Armagh. Since her return to the States, Taryn has traveled to 29 different countries, has been taking high school students to Ireland for over 22 years, and has been in the tourism industry for over 20. She has dedicated her life to sharing her knowledge and love for Ireland and surrounding destinations in Europe. In her spare time, she loves spending time with family and friends, hiking, running, singing, skiing, traveling, and cheering for Gonzaga basketball.
