Everytime Press is very pleased to announce the publication of ‘Chero Extranjero (Foreign Friend)’ by Darren Howman.

Now equipped with semi-fluent Spanish, author Darren Howman dives deeper into Latin culture by living and teaching children in El Salvador.

From exploring lost Mayan cities to stumbling through a profession he has no previous experience of, Howman’s misadventures bring heart and soul and laughter to his students, his readers, and the people he encounters.

A travel memoir about 91 days spent in Central America, the book is a sequel-of-sorts to ‘Perro Callejero (Stray Dog)’ (pub. 2000).
