Would be difficult to for myself to find the means to do so, however, if I could, simply put, yes, I would without a doubt.

Dunno about after only days however, if it's someone that I had known for sometime, yes.
If it was someone that I had just started to talk too, then no.

I couldn't do it due to being a parent, marital debt, and employment.

Been there done that long time ago, after months of talking online. He was very attentive, nice words, nice pics, very sociable and caring.....
He turned out to be the drug addicted, alcoholic, liar from hell, who robbed me of over 1000 dollars, before trying to set his dog on me, then shoot me, and that was before he proposed.....
Needless to say I got out of there as soon as I could.
Not saying don't go meet them. Just saying be careful.

Good heavens, ginger. Be careful, girl!
The major difference in my case was that I happened to be in that region anyway. Makes me feel very blessed with the person I did meet from the other side of the globe when I was O/S. I felt completely safe. And I was.

After a few months of chatting, I would be on a plane in a heartbeat. I have no ties, so yes!

I wouldn't travel that distance any more, no matter if he was the most perfect man for me on earth. I travel lesser distances these days, like within the country mostly.

Don't discount it, ginger. Just be very vigilant in getting to know the person you go and meet. I have been speaking to people online for many years, not dating site, professional sites and the like. and there really is a knack to getting to know a person online. I have stayed in the homes of several people whom I met online. One was with a doctor and his wife in Maryland.
Most people are genuine, but you do need to have your wits about you. And I have to say this. These same people I trusted, also showed a lot of trust in me. There I was, a woman they had never met in person, whom they allowed into their home, and they handed over keys to their homes. That is a heck of a lot of trust in me, too!
Even way back in '75, when a GF and I hitch hiked around Tasmania, a husband and wife picked us up from Bicheno on their way to Hobart, and they took us to their and promptly handed us their house keys where we stayed for days.
I could write a book on these experiences.

Way to go, Cas!
I hope it goes well for you, my friend. As to the OP, I'm not in a position to do so, nor am I looking, but if I were, I'd still wait months, not go after just a few days of chatting online. It would take months of IM, phone calls, etc, before I'd make a trip overseas to meet anyone. I believe in patience and caution when thinking of entering into such a long distance relationship.

OUCH. What an experience, Gingerb. I don't blame you for being a bit gunshy of doing so again.

If I were you, I'd wait a few months and even then you don't know what you are getting. Just recently, I traveled to Europe to meet someone that I'd been in contact with for a few months. I had a wonderful time, but he wasn't anything like I expected. I was very disappointed, so what you chat and talk about isn't always what you get. Lesson learned.

What they said.
Wait, talk.
Then buy a round-trip ticket if you really think you want to do it.
