Alejandro Berroa

Alejandro is a certified translator/interpreter and oral historian. He was born in Cuba and lived there for 36 years before immigrating to the United States in 2020 (right before Covid). Today he splits his time between Cuba and the U.S for family and work. He has more than 15 years’ experience working as a Havana-based tour leader and has guided visitors from all over the world across the island. His specialties include tours on Cuban culture and heritage, architecture, history, religion, and ecotourism – with extensive experience guiding birdwatchers. 

He holds a BA in Linguistics from the University of Havana with specializations in French and English language, and a minor in German. He spent many years studying and then working as a professor at the French Alliance based in Havana. He sits on the Board of Support the Cuban People, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization whose activities directly support individuals residing in Cuba through programming that spans humanitarian need, art and culture, and grant funds for established and emerging entrepreneurs.

A lover of photography, languages, history, and peoples’ stories, he prioritizes the facilitation of collaborative agreements, as well as the apolitical exchange of information and culture, between the United States and Cuba, and is committed to being a part of creating economic opportunity in Cuba from the ground up.
