If I were in a position to sponsor anyone for more than a felafel at a
stand up kiosk, I would consider this so unreasonable that it's just
laughable. As I said, IF I were going to fund someone, I might consider
a plan that includes 2 $1,000 airplane tickets, and about $1,000 a week
for hotel, food, transportation within each country and train fare to

then move one. You probably could start in the Irish Republic and bounce
along to the Russian Republic which would take around 15-20 weeks.
Or you could the same thing for about 1.5 times the money in the US,
which would take an entire year, one week per state.
But not just for a vacation, or for sponsorship opportunity, you would
have to show off your operating system that lots of people use, or your
office suite, Nobel Prize, or Olympic Medal.
