"Emojis constitute a truly universal language, surpassing language barriers, and this is what EF is all about - to break barriers of language and making it possible for people of all nationalities to find common ground and communicate," says Jesper Bergendal, Executive Vice President of Marketing at EF Education First.

Travelmoji (http://www.travelmoji.com) consists of a series of emojis - from airplanes to sunglasses, flamingos and famous sights. EF will continue to add new emojis, such as exciting destinations and seasonal updates, and will thus continuously increase the keyboard's vocabulary and usefulness.

The launch of Travelmoji is linked to EF's Summer Music Festival, Summeranza, headlined by superstar Charli XCX and welcoming 6000 study abroad students from all over the world. A custom Summeranza emoji category has therefore been included in the Travelmoji keyboard.

Travelmoji is available from Google Play (Android) and App Store (iOS).
