Smile What do I do next??

Hi all!

I remember joining this forum about 2 years ago just asking for some advice before going for PPL lessons, well now, I have that magic bit of paper! I'm 19 nearly 20, and I'm at that age where a lot of my friends are going travelling/moving to different countries.

I'm thinking of possibly going on a Gap Year in Australia/NZ just to experience life a little bit, get a sense of independence and take a break from the UK! On the other hand, I want to get the CPL and IR done. I'm doing it all as I earn the money, so haven't committed to any loan repayments, so isn't an issue.

Alls I was wondering was if anyone has done anything similar, like taken a break in training and whether it's had any impact, and whether a year in another country would 'better' your chances in the future when it comes down to the airline interview? Or do I get the CPL/IR done, then go on the gap year?

Big decision to make, and I thought this is the right place to ask, so I appreciate your advice! Many thanks,
