Nothing beats real world decision making
Neither does an accident.

Jada, you are very fresh, no offense but you are at the embryonic stage of aviation here.
You don't have an Instrument rating which means you cannot save yourself if the weather deteriorates faster then you can divert.
So you need to be very conservative in your choices.

Sapperkenno is giving the right advise, plenty of additional training and venture out slowly as you skills increase.
Have you considered doing a FAA IR and CPL and then converting to JAA/EASA?
FAA IR is approximately 50 hrs, this puts you at 150.
CPL SE and ME training takes about 40 hrs so you have 60 hrs remaining to fly your trip in order to get to the required 250 for the FAA CPL.
