To whom this may concern:
My name is Patrick Davey. I am currently finishing up a 16 week trip overland trip in Africa with Oasis Overland. I have been with Oasis for two years in the Middle East and Africa and Nomadic Expeditions for 12 months in Morocco. I am interested in a change of scenery, but Oasis does not have any spots available in South AMerica. I am wondering if there is a dual position for a driver and a tour leader. Thanks for you time.
Cheers,
Patrick Davey
