Fly when you're on holiday.
Wherever you happen to be, there's a reasonable chance that there's a flying school nearby with an instructor who at least vaguely sort-of speaks English. Hire a four seater for an hour or two, let the instructor do the boring radio and nav whilst you fly, put a couple of kids or wives or something in the back. Legally this is a flying lesson so you don't need to take your licence with you, be checked out or anything, but of course you can log the time Pu/t.
I've done several such trips, most recently seeing pretty well the whole of Slovenia in an hour and a half (and spending the next few days following on the ground those parts of the flight that we hadn't already covered).
