Good man!
You have made the first step by intending to go, here is the big step, do it.
It has been a long time since I was involved there but my advice would be forget Jan and go before xmas, set up camp (save money - to live there for three months is cheaper then going a few weeks with savings in Euro/North America/Aus/NZ etc) though make sure you budget yourself, make yourself known to those that matter and go for it, just be nice and approachable without being annoying, counts for anyones first job regardless of where they are.
Others here are more up to speed though (take what I say honestly with a grain of salt, what worked a while ago is different to now).
You said your older so if anything sell yourself better than others, despite what people may think charter operators know what pilots look for in them just as much as what they look for in pilots.
Remember bad names spread so be good but otherwise have fun and go for it.
If you will actually take the step - go for it!
It's one thing to be interested and another to do it, I'm keen to help out on this threat but the best move you can make is to do it.
BD.
PS dont ever tell anyone your PPRUNE name nor mention it. Just advice
