How much time have you got? i.e. do you have to go to work daily?

If not then what I would do is set myself a target - say 100 hours, then go to the USA and find someone who will rent you a plane on a decent dry rate, and just fly to anywhere you can think of. The reason I'd go to the USA is because hours are much cheaper there, so your budget = 2x the number of hours. Also experience is experience, you dont have to fly just in Europe to gain quality experience.

The USA is huge, and it also has many varied climates, from subtropical to Alpine, with varying degrees in between. You find big mountains, deserts, there as well as the rest of it and most towns have an airport so you can get to see some amazing sights.

It is also relatively cheap, with no landing fees to speak of and decent briefing services (all free) and hotels can be very cheap (or bring your tent and camp under the wing ).....

Just my 2c worth
