Just to make sure that you understand: there are many more reasons than
just travel costs involved. Just to name a few:

- visa issues.

- some people have to take care of family members and are not at liberty
  to leave for even so much as half a day.

- conflicting schedules.

- mental health. As a friend of mine once put it: nobody is completely
  "healthy", we all suffer, on a spectrum, from anxiety, trauma, and other
  issues. The more inclusive we are, the more we can benefit from
  everybody's talents and contributions.

Just saying. Money is sometimes not the solution.

Ciao,
Dscho
