I think my long-term plan is to fly TMG instead of SEP for economical reasons, but that seems to be a switch most people make after picking up SEP ratings.
I might look into an EASA-friendly school in the US, since if I do an intensive course, I’d be using vacation days and would be flexible on location. Croatia seems attractive though, due to cost, environment, and being in the same regulatory environment as the place where I’d be flying afterwards.
