Hi, I'm Neil. I am 60 years old and when I was more independent (living by myself)
hosted dozens of people via Pasporta Servo, an Esperanto language hosting service
in publication in paper since the 1960's and on-line for over a decade. Esperanto
speakers are generally multicultural people who speak several languages, as myself:
I'm conversant in Spanish, Portuguese, Hebrew and Arabic. Esperanto is the easy
bridge that facilitates a unique way of meeting the world. I'm sure numerous
Couchsurfers think similarly to the Esperanto community. The founder of SERVAS
also took an Esperanto name in sympathy to the easy language. Hospitality Club
includes an Esperanto translation to its website. Several Esperanto meetings occur in
New York City monthly and for over a century. We regularly have foreign guests and
foreign-born immigrant-members in NYC who speak Esperanto.
