You can alleviate the situation by making sure that you've got a school within an hour's drive of where you live, instead of a couple of hours away, so that the burden of travelling there will be less.
From what I can see, the main benefits of having a Belgian theory test is that you can take the exam in English, and it’s a much lower price. Doing your medical there is less relevant, but it seems mandatory if that’s where you do your theory.
I believe as well that Belgium doesn’t have the radiotelephony endorsement, which is included in the PPL.
