Brewer Featured in Wall Street Journal as Esperanto Speaker

When Steven D. Brewer was invited to speak at the 2006 Brazilian Esperanto Congress, he used Pasporta Servo to stay for several days in São Paulo. A recent article in the Wall Street Journal, One of the Perks of Speaking Esperanto? Free Lodging Around the World, describes the experience of using this free service for Esperanto speakers. Pasporta Servo, or "Passport Service" provides hospitality for traveling esperantists, and lists hosts from all around the world who are willing to open up their homes for temporary lodging free of any charge. The article features a host in New York City, a young woman who stayed with 100 hosts over 16 months in Europe, and a lengthy section with Dr. Brewer (pictured left), the Director of the Biology Computer Resource Center, who has spoken at international conferences using Esperanto in the Americas and Europe.
