Hi,
Has anyone here stayed with Esperanto speaking families abroad? Is this a good way to
travel and learn Esperanto at the same time? I plan on doing this when I'm older. Can you
recommend some websites?
Also, has anyone here been the World Esperanto Conference (this year's one is in Havana)?
Or have you been to any Esperanto conference? Was it a good experience?
Thanks in advance!
Brian

I've stayed with Esperanto speakers abroad; I recommend it. What you want is the "Pasporta servo" book for the current year.
I haven't been to UKo, but I've been to several other conferences; on the whole, they were great. I liked some better than others, but it's largely a matter of taste.

Traveling is a good time to use and practice Esperanto.
But you have to learn it now, while you are at home. Now.
I have stayed at the house of Esperanto speakers. It is a
marvelous experience.
I participated in national conferences in Tijuana, Mexico;
Montreal, Canada; Buenos Aires, Argentina; and several
cities in the USA, next one near Washington, DC, the last
4 days of May 2010.
I participated in 2 world conferences, the last one at Beijing,
China, in July 2004. Six months ago I visited China again,
and had the opportunity to meet some of the people I knew
5 years before.
Being in a room with more than 2000 people from more than
50 countries, where translators aren't needed, is a fantastic
experience. But I liked better the time I spent outside the
conference rooms, talking with many of those people, from
5 continents ... and in a few occasions, being invited by
locals for dinner at their houses.
I enjoyed seeing a Chinese hostess trying to teach a lady
from Italy, how to fold the dough to prepare a Chinese dish ...
and an hour later eating from that dish ...
It is a good idea for you to travel with Esperanto when you
be older. But you should start learning Esperanto right now,
and start visiting people all around the world using Internet.
Here is the address of an Esperanto page which has more
than 300 links to different ways of learning and using
Esperanto. You can write to me. You will find my address
clicking my name "Enrique" at the top or bottom of the page.
