Source: https://eazycity-staging.flyingweb.design/about-us/ About EazyCity # From two friends in Cork to thousands of International Experiences. EazyCity was founded in Cork in 2004 by Julia Lynes and Enrico Zoppi, two friends who had experienced moving abroad themselves and knew just how challenging those first few weeks could be. What started as a two-person office has grown into a team of over twenty people across Ireland, Spain and United States. > Making moving abroad easier, more welcoming, and more rewarding for everyone.” Our promise since 2004 ![The EazyCity team working together in the Cork office](https://eazycity-staging.flyingweb.design/wp-content/uploads/EazyCity-Ltd-Team.jpg) - 2004founded in Cork - ~20+people on the team - 3countries with offices - 50,000+guests settled in Our story ## Travel and business, like two peas in a pod. Julia and Enrico put the company down to the years they spent living and working abroad: bravery, curiosity, stubbornness and a strong sense of adventure. ![The EazyCity office on Oliver Plunkett Street, Cork](https://eazycity-staging.flyingweb.design/wp-content/uploads/Julia-Lynes-and-Enrico-Zoppi-_-EazyCity-Co-founders.jpg) Having spent years travelling and working abroad, the two founders had learned the same lesson: moving to a new country is far harder than it needs to be. That realisation pushed them to build the fix. From a tiny two-person office in Cork, EazyCity grew into an international live-abroad agency with over twenty staff and offices in Ireland, the UK, Spain, Italy, and the United States. 1. 2004 ### Cork, two people Julia Lynes and Enrico Zoppi start EazyCity from a shared apartment in Cork, placing students with local host families and personally welcoming new arrivals at the airport. From day one, they offer a personal touch, helping newcomers settle in through CV clinics, translation assistance and practical orientation services. 2. 2005-2010 ### Growing Beyond one city EazyCity begins investing in its own houses and apartments, expanding its accommodation offering beyond host families. Alongside individual bookings, the company develops partnerships with language schools and international education agencies, welcoming students and young professionals referred by these partners. Building on its success in Cork, EazyCity replicates its accommodation model in other Irish cities, including Dublin and Galway. 3. 2011-2026 ### An international team EazyCity expands beyond Ireland, opening offices in the UK and Spain and building a diverse international team. The company also strengthens its work placement programmes, partnering with local and international businesses to offer students valuable internship opportunities, helping them develop professional skills and gain practical experience while living in Ireland. In 2024, the EazyCity Group takes another important step by acquiring a language school in Waterford. 4. Today ### Twenty people EazyCity evolves by bringing its study and work abroad programmes under a dedicated brand, The Learning Abroad Co. Today, EazyCity focuses on providing accommodation across Ireland for international students and young professionals, offering both self-catering properties and host family stays. 5. Next ### Learning Resources – Conversation Cards and Digital Learning Looking ahead, the company also aims to develop innovative educational resources for teachers, students and young adults, supporting learning, personal development and meaningful conversations within the language travel industry and beyond. We am to work with Language schools who want to invest in their Language Teachers and with Education Agents.
