"Everyone is Safe" -- The Global Work & Travel Co. Reports from Nepal

LONDON, May 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The Global Work & Travel Co. is pleased to report that all of their travelers currently in the earthquake-affected regions of Nepal and Northern India have checked in safe.

"Our hearts go out to citizens of the affected areas," said Trevor Flint, spokesperson for The Global Work & Travel Co., a gap-year travel agency.  "We've had hundreds of travelers through that area in the past, and we know first-hand just how special and unique the Nepalese people are.  In fact, our longest-serving employee is Nepalese."

The Global Work & Travel Co. had a number of travelers who were on-site in Nepal.  Thankfully, all of them have been in touch with us and/or their family to verify their wellbeing. 

"We wanted to let everyone know our people are safe," said Flint.  "Obviously, anytime you travel, things can happen, but it's hard to comprehend the sheer scope of the situation in Nepal right now.  That's why we're taking the rather unusual step of broadcasting to interested parents, family members and friends that if your young traveler was with The Global Work & Travel Co., we've heard from them and they are safe."

Lindsay Styles is a Canadian client who was near Mount Everest Base Camp.  She posted on her Facebook wall, "Just want you all to know I am safe and unhurt by the recent disaster in Nepal, I was in Deboche when the quake hit and only felt a small tremor. We continued on the following day despite hearing the news of Kathmandu and on Everest. Once the second quake hit while walking by the glacier ... we quickly decided to come back down.  I'll be flying back to Kathmandu soon and trying to help in any which way I can."

The Global Work & Travel Co. is the largest working holiday and gap-year travel agency in the world, with offices in Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom.  They service just under 10,000 young travelers every year.
