Good luck to you which ever path you decide to take. Just some advice, plan, research, prepare and then do it all again several times. Spending a year now doing research into every aspect of your route will help iron out as many problems as possible. Talk to as many people as you can who have done it and also research other countries for flight training. Talk to the training companies who specialise in overseas students.
I to took the big plunge as i realised i only live once. I gave up my Very good job in engineering, moved 6000 miles away on my own ( to live away from the folks for the first time as well ), had to learn how to use an iron and a washing machine!, and im now loving my training.
I spent 1 year doing my research and so far its all going smoothly and im happy with what the future is possibly going to hold.
Although im a young guy and i have that on my side, you just never know unless you try it! Just do it right if you want to stand a good chance of it succeeding, you just never know whats round the corner!!
If you want bad enough you will find a way to reach your dream.
Mines in progress, so just keep at it.
Ps, There are some misso's on here who will put you down. Just ignore them and follow your feelings.
