As you might be aware I plan a hackerspace Europe tour for next year,
and naturally have been thinking about exactly this area a lot. It would
be nice to connect mentors you who are willing and able to travel and
help you build spaces, and there are some efforts in that direction, for
example the Space Federation.

In the center of my trip is exactly this kind of organizational
information that I hope to add to hackerspaces.org eventually.

In general, infrastructure should come first. You only need to find a
small handful of people and a place where you can regularly meet and
work cooperatively. The nice thing about Hackerspaces is that every
single one of them is unique, formed from a core idea of a very small
group of people.
