Probably not. That's a lot of work. Even if it is a country I wanted to visit anyway, in the back of my mind I would be worried about losing a kidney or something.
As the chances of either of us moving to the other country is pretty slim, and I would hardly ever be able to see them, I wouldn't start a "relationship" with them to begin with.

No. Like others have said, if I had met someone while traveling - that would be different. But I can't imagine how I would have happened to start talking to a stranger in another country so I can't imagine that I'd ever travel to meet them.
I have. Went half way around the planet. Been married 7 years now. Didn't go that first trip with the intent of looking for a wife. Mostly I went because I had not been out of my state for about 20 years. And the fact she invited me over. I had many friends and family try to talk me out of it. So glad I went.
Depends. Living in a rural area with no real prospects... maybe. Living where I am now, absolutely not: if you can't find one person amongst the over 7 million bodies on this tiny scrap of land... it's not them, it's you.

I've had two women travel to meet me, but that wasn't the sole reason for their visit.
I lived in the northeast at the time. One was a Brit who lived in Hong Kong. We met via OLD, and were in contact almost daily for over 6 months. She came to visit friends, and meet me - if we hit it off we planned a week-long trip together. Well, we did hit it off and had a wonderful romantic trip, just the two of us. Six months after that I went to visit her for 3 weeks. We had a great time and connection again, and seriously considered pursuing the relationship further. However, there were too many complications with jobs, visas, etc., to make it work.
The other was a pen-pal from Japan, and we'd been writing for about 6 years. I invited her to visit, and she came to visit for a week and run in a marathon, staying with me. There wasn't really a romantic connection, but I did visit her in Japan not long after.
A friend (met through OLD) travelled to New Zealand to meet a guy she'd encountered online, and they got married and are living in the US. They've been together many years now, so that's clearly a success.
Over 30 years ago, my uncle traveled to China to meet a woman he'd been corresponding with via snail mail. They married and have been together ever since.
I would not, but I have had a guy come from England to meet me. It was several years ago, and we had fun. No major love connection, but a great guy and still a good friend. He came to my wedding!
