Meet your host, Kevin:
Inspiration for your Reroot tour began when 25-year-old Kevin was tired of the mainstream media’s misrepresentation of El Salvador. He wanted to bring travelers to learn “the other face” of his home country. Reroot works with Kevin to curate all the experiences listed in our Salvadoran Educational Tour.
