In 2005, two young and like-minded friends who have recently moved to Ireland decided to create a blog to share their experience, suggestions and difficulties. Working full time during the day, they were publishing posts on nights to keep it updated with useful information. At at time, before social media became predominant, the majority of information on internet was on blogs and forum. After few years the blog reached thousands of visitors.
Seeing the need for a flexible accommodation offer in the rental market particularly aimed to those who relocate for work or study in Dublin, the two friends founded Viva Ireland in 2010. They started by renting out a spare bedroom in their own apartment. Since then, the company has constantly expanded to host customers from all over the world. New staff, services and locations were added.
In March 2020, a new enemy called Covid-19 has caused massive disruptions to international travels. It didn't stop us. We are still here to accomplish our original mission to help people whose dream is moving to Ireland.
